EEEK Oh my God I love this series I love the female lead I love her romantic interest I love the world their in I love the plot of the whole book I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!
This is the kind of story I expect and adore from Ilona Andrews. Ofcourse, It doesn't trump the Kate Daniels series but still...
I love how they went for the whole heroine discovering her true potential trope as usual as opposed to being saved by the hero/romantic interest. Worked in all their other series- why change a good thing?
You can imagine my disappointment when I found out book two still hasnt come out yet. Thankfully I only have to wait one more month :D

Give me a good urban fantasy any day off the week. I have always enjoyed Andrews writing, yet somehow missed this series. It's worth a read and I'll be continuing the series.

I’m a big fan of Ilona Andrews and love what Graphic Audio has done with the Innkeeper Chronicles and Kate Daniels series. However, someone on the GA team dropped the ball for this one.
I’ve read and listened to the Hidden Legacy series a million times. The story is outstanding and I really enjoyed the Audiobook, but the GA was a bit of a disappointment.
You can read my original reviews for the Novel & Audiobook, plus see my thoughts on the GA.

Graphic Audio 2025: The Graphic Audio is a Movie In Your Mind. I’m disappointed in the GA for Burn For Me.
The story has so much potential, but the conversion seems to have been done for efficiency over characterization. This stinks because we miss out on knowing the characters better, getting the full impact of the story, and if someone is finding this story for the first time they will miss out. The GA could have been so much more.
The casting choices didn't really work for me. Most of the voice actors did great, but a few voices I didn’t care for. Like the voice choice for Rogan. It lacked the power and authoritative sound I imagined for a character like him. Also the voice choice for Nevada. It comes across screechy and hysterical.
Burn For Me is now only good for people who have already read the book. I can’t in good conscience recommend the GraphicAudio to anyone trying this story for the first time

Original Review 2014: I am a BIG FAN of the writing team Ilona Andrews. I can always count on them to pull me into a magical world full of new dangers and fantastically interesting characters. They are my F*A*V*O*R*I*T*E authors and one of the few I will automatically purchase their books as soon as it’s available.
Burn for Me is book one in the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews and what a magnificent start to a new series. I have been looking forward to reading Burn for Me and I was not disappointed. We get humor, action, adventure, and romance.
Nevada is everything a lead heroine should be. Loyal, smart, witty, and kick ass even with the little power she has. She has been working hard to keep the family PI business going and is very protective of her family. I loved Nevada right off.
Connor “Mad” Rogan, a Prime (off-the-charts magic), rich, powerful, and head of House Rogan. He is pure sex walking on a stick. The House’s rule this world, in a way with their own rules. As for Connor I never could figure him out even at the end and I am hoping more is revealed about him. He is a sociopath (Yes a sociopath) and I don’t know if Nevada should love him or run screaming.
What can I say? This is one you don’t want to miss reading. The author creates instantly likable characters that are hilarious and have great dynamics between them. Nevada’s grandmother was a hoot. The world-building is awe-inspiring and original. We are spared no shortage of action or plot developments. The writing flows nicely and they do an extraordinary job of describing things in great detail. Burn for Me was a delightful, hilarious, and action packed read.
If you have not picked up Ilona Andrews, I highly recommend you do. I have loved and enjoyed all of Ilona Andrews' written works. They have not once let me down and I wait with great anticipation for the next installment.

Aug. 2017 Audio Review: I tried out the audiobook and I found it to be entertaining, enjoyable, & a fun listen. I did have trouble with the female narrator and her male voices at first, but I got used to them. She had a lot of characters she needed to voice and I felt she did a good job.

A good read. I usually don’t read urban fantasy and wasn’t sure I’d like it, but it’s a fun and face-paced read that I would recommend.
I loved it! So captivating. Can’t wait to read the next!!!!
