Description

In this spellbinding first novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews’s urban fantasy Hidden Legacy series, private detective Nevada Baylor navigates her way through an alternate world where dynasties, built on inherited wealth and magic, guide the course of humanity.
?Nevada Baylor runs a small-time detective agency in Houston, Texas, busting scammers, exposing cheaters, and dealing with petty criminals. She’s very good at her job—helped by a magical ability to sense when someone tells the truth or lies. But when she’s forced into accepting a case to find a radical pyrotechnic who can conjure heat and fire at will, Nevada knows she’s out of her league. To bring him to justice, she’ll have to join forces with someone who wields an even more dangerous power.
Connor “Mad” Rogan is a former combat mage, a telekinetic singularly responsible for mass destruction in war-torn countries, and a member of one of the most powerful magic families in the world. His nephew has been kidnapped by the fugitive pyromaniac, and Nevada is his best chance at finding them both. But unlike Nevada, Connor could care less about societal law and order, and has no qualms about extinguishing his family’s enemy.
Bound by their mission, Nevada and Connor clash over their tactics and moral beliefs, even as things undeniably heat up between them. But the man they’re chasing is involved in a darker conspiracy that threatens to destroy the city—and destabilize the balance of power the elite magical families use to influence every nation on Earth.

Reread, one of my favorite series

Mir fehlen echt die Worte. Ich habe schon lange kein so grandioses, fulminantes und atemberaubenden Buch mehr gelesen. Als ich das Buch angefangen habe, hatte ich nicht wirklich Lust, aber ich musste dringend den ersten Abschnitt für eine Leserunde lesen und dann ging es rasant los und es hat mich bis zum Ende mitgerissen, zum Seinen und Schreien gebracht und genau solche Reaktionen soll eine Geschichte bei mir auslösen!!! Nevada und Rogan waren fantastische Charaktere mit vielen Ecken und Kanten, sie hatten es auch zuvor nicht immer leicht, aber sie lassen sich dennoch nicht unterkriegen. Sie sind stark, können sich durchsetzen und ihre Dialoge sind gleichzeitig prickelnd, unterhaltsam und haben einen mehr Wert. Alles in dieser Geschichte hatte einen Sinn und wurde mit vielen actiongeladenen Szenen meisterhaft kombiniert. Auch die Nebencharaktere konnte ich ins Herz schließen. In vielen anderen Geschichte bleiben diese blass, aber hier sind sie toll ausgearbeitet und ich konnte sie mir sehr gut vorstellen. Die Handlung war wie ein Fluss. Es gab viele wilde und ungezähmte Szenen mit Action, Energie, Magie, Blut und Gewalt und dann gab es wieder herzallerliebste Familienszenen zwischen Nevada und ihrer Familie, die auch nicht ohne ist und durchaus in der Lage und gewillt ist für Nevada einzutreten.  Ich könnte noch Seitenweise über dieses Buch schwärmen...Auch die Atmosphäre und das Ende haben mir sehr gut gefallen und ich konnte das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Zum Glück habe ich mir alle drei Teile in Englisch gekauft, wer kann denn da noch abwarten ;) Wenn es bisher nicht deutlich genug wird...lest dieses Buch!!!!!!

I'll wait for a better cover to be released before I touch this unfortunately.

OMG! This book was downright awesome. I cannot believe I took this long to read an Ilona Andrews novel. I have read a few books within the urban fantasy genre which I enjoyed, but this my favourite.What the book is aboutNevada Baylor is a private investigator with Baylor Investigations, which is run by her family. Unfortunately, the business is facing financial challenges and as a result; it was mortgaged to the hilt. The company who holds the mortgage issued an order for her to take on an assignment, which may or may not lead to her death. She had no choice but to accept the assignment as failure to do so would lead to the loss of the business and her family home.In the midst of the chaos, she is kidnapped by Mad Rogan, a man who was rich, powerful and feared by all whom he came in contact with. They are both after the same target, so working together seemed the logical thing to do. However, their unexpected partnership will lead to them discovering things about themselves and developing feelings they never thought was possible with each other.What I enjoyedSuperb Writing: The manner in which the story was presented made me feel as if I was a part of the story. I loved he uniqueness of the setting and the premise. The story is set in a world that is similar to ours, with one main difference, magic. In the 1800s, a serum was developed that gave humans magical powers and since that time magic has reigned supreme. Years later, you have a world where some humans have interesting and unique powers. There were those whose powers were stronger than the norm who are called primes.Delightful Characters: Nevada is a strong, brave, honest, kick-ass heroine. From the moment I was introduced to her, I knew I would love her. She cares deeply for her family and would do anything to protect them. She is not the type to behave like a damsel in distress. While working on this case she would come to realise that there is more to her powers than she originally believed.Conner Rogan AKA Mad Rogan is a formidable and complex man. He was former military and a trained killer. He has no qualms about killing when the need arises. However, I soon came to realize that underneath all that craziness lay a heart of compassion. Few were privy to this side of him.I loved every moment spent with the supporting cast of characters. I loved how Nevada’s family had her back. They had a bond that was stronger than any magic. It is rare for me to like the villain in a story, but this time around, I could not help but like Adam. He was cocky and entitled, but there was something about him that I found endearing.Fun and entertaining story: There was tons of action, and thrilling moments to keep me on my toes. It moved quickly sparing me no time to be bored. There was humour to help lighten the heavy moments. There was loads of sexual tension permeating the pages of this story, but there was no intimacy and no romance. Not that I am complaining. It is evident that there is an attraction there, but with all what was happening there would have been no to explore their feelings for each other. I am curious to discover how this aspect of the story will eventually play out.I was happy with the ending. Thankfully, it was not a cliff-hanger. The situation in this instance was adequately wrapped up, however, there was a shocking revelation in the epilogue which left me with questions. Thankfully I am able to proceed to next book in the series right away so my questions will be answered soon.VerdictOverall, this is a great read and one, which I highly recommend.
