Damn... I want Book #2. NOW! :(
I'm probably going to have to satisfy myself with reading the Kate Daniels series now.

I’ve reread Burn for Me many times but this was my first time listening to the Graphic Audio version. I loved the overall production of it and the choice for Nevada. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star is that I didn’t love Rogan’s narrator.

The book cover almost put me off reading this, despite being a big fan of other Ilona Andrews books.
Boy am I glad I gave it a chance though, I enjoyed it.

Burn for Me took me by surprise in a good way! I listened to the audiobook and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it. It’s got that fast-paced, snappy vibe of an Alex Rider book, only the hero’s a 25-year-old woman stuck in a magically charged mess!
Nevada Baylor is clever, determined, and so fiercely loyal to her family it’s heartwarming. I particularly loved how her whole crew rallies behind her, even when things get dangerous. That said, she sometimes tries to shield them too much, and I couldn’t help wishing she’d lean on them more, especially her mum.

That said, she sometimes tries to shield them too much, and I couldn’t help wishing she’d lean on them more, especially her mum.
The plot is well written and easy to get swept up in, full of action, magic, and a slow burn romance that simmers along nicely. It’s witty and entertaining, although there were moments where Nevada’s inner voice started to feel a bit like word salad as there was lots of back-and-forth about whether she should be attracted to Connor “Mad” Rogan. I appreciated that she doesn’t fall into the trap of thinking she can change him, and recognises that, for all his charm and power, he’s got a darker streak. The story drops hints that feel a bit heavy-handed, and there are a few threads I reckon will be explored in later books.
Overall, it’s a fun read with some sharp banter and memorable family dynamics. I wouldn’t call the world building groundbreaking, but it works well enough to carry the story. If you’re after something light, a bit romantic, and packed with action, I’d say this one’s worth a look.
Spice level: 2.5(Romance with plenty of sexual tension and foreplay, with explicit language, but no sex ... yet!)

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this one. I went in knowing nothing. And fell in love with both FMC and MMC. The prologue has me so intrigued for the next book
