⤅ Nevada’s mother, a veteran with a wounded leg who respects her daughter enough to listen to her decisions ⤅ Leon, his brother, a skinny and hyper teenager who’s frankly hilarious ⤅ Bern, their cousin, the strong and silent type who’s a computer whiz ⤅ Arabella, their youngest sister, who’s blonde and bubbly ⤅ Catalina, Nevada’s younger sister, a quiet teenager with dry humour Since one of the best bits of this book is Nevada’s family, let’s review who we have: As a living lie detector, she’s particularly well suited to being the head of the Baylor Investigative Agency, a small family-run outfit which mostly deals with low-impact adultery cases and the like. This serious features a complex, wonderfully-built world wherein many humans have developed magical powers thanks to the Osiris serum. I’ve read a few Kate Daniels, Edge, and Innkeeper books before, but somehow never touched this one even though I’ve seen people turn into raving lunatics over it. Well, this is the book that kicked off a fortnight-long Ilona Andrews binge. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world. But she’s getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. Rogan’s after the same target, so he needs Nevada. Torn between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.

Then she’s kidnapped by Connor “Mad” Rogan-a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire. 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.
