Synopsis
#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews launches a brand new Hidden Legacy series, in which one woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who sets off an even more dangerous desire…
Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile case. Nevada isn't sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire.
Then she's kidnapped by Connor "Mad" Rogan—a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.
Rogan's after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she's getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.

Incredible world building, brilliant dialogue, sizzling chemistry and a gripping storyline - Ilona Andrews is beyond compare when it comes to Urban Fantasy!
In a genre inundated with alternate magical worlds, Andrews has formulated a concept that is both original and compelling. Not only does magic in this world have a genetic basis, but it is also the foundation on which financial power and social status is consolidated. Thus, the various characters preoccupation and even obsession with magical genetics and hierarchy adds additional tension and nuance to the setting, characterization and plot.
Like Andrews’ other heroines, Nevada is intelligent, resourceful, snarky, feisty and loyal to a fault. She is also cautious and in possession of a level of self awareness that makes her particularly appealing. Rogan’s physical presence and power as well as his alpha tendencies are reminiscent of Curran yet the nature of his abilities, his family background and his dark and troubling past make him a remarkable hero.
The trademarks of Andrews’ writing are evident in Nevada and Rogan’s relationship whether it be in the sarcastic banter, the off the charts chemistry or the palpable sexual tension that build slowly but surely between them. The potential for romance is definitely there and it will be fascinating to see where it goes in future installments.
The plot is action packed with numerous twists and turns not to mention an abundance of corpses littering the streets (not wholly unexpected in an Andrews novel). Renee Raudman’s narration is fantastic as usual and no one could possibly be better at bringing these characters to life.
All in all, a must read for all lovers of Urban Fantasy and the only bad thing about the book is that it had to come to an end. It will be a long and difficult wait for the next one.
