Been a while since I’ve read an Ilona Andrews book. I’d forgotten how good they are at world building and writing characters. What a fascinating and complicated world they’ve built here, full of equally fascinating people.
Some of the names and concepts can be confusing if you don’t take a moment to absorb, but even on audio (and I jumped into a middle book no less), it’s manageable.
The main cast of characters for this book is pretty lovable, especially the Edge kids. I really enjoyed the way the characters were fleshed out as well. However I wasn’t sold on the romance even if I enjoyed the little flirtations and bickering between the two main characters. There’s definitely chemistry and a spark between them, but there was just something lacking in the way the relationship developed for me. Still, one cannot deny the quality of an Ilona Andrews book.

This book was fun, even though I liked the previous one more.
I especially liked that we have multiple distinct POVs. And I liked that the book ended on a positive note.

it wasnt very engaging at first. i struggled to read it for over 3/4 of the book- a rarity with an IA book. pretty good once it got going though. same amount of cheese as the other edge books. nice nice.

Kalder has met his match in Audrey. she's resisting him though.
I enjoyed all the other characters that we got to see again!
I love Jack and I'm glad we've got to see him again.

So George and Jack totally stole the show. I liked Kaldar and Audrey. They were lots and lots of fun. I liked the Con feel and it was great to see Declan and Rose again.
I do want to know what happened to Audrey's father, because he kinda disappeared off the radar.

Do books tend to get lame or do I tend to get old?
Let's list:
*transparent plot
*gory family history to attract attention
*unusually simple writing style
*boring Declan - unforgivable
Did she let someone else write her stories or did she just start writing her husbands'?
