You could have told me Ilona Andrews was going to write the copy on the back of a milk carton, and I would have happily read it. BUT! Instead they wrote an amazing story about one of my favorite side characters from the Kate Daniels World, Roman the Black Volhv. 💖 I had followed the weekly serial they posted to their blog and was thrilled to see some of the "bones" of the original. I adored how they punched it up to make it even better. If you are part of the Book Devouring Horde (BDH), you don't need to be convinced to read it. Everyone else though? Read any book by Ilona Andrews and thank me later.

I have been trying to branch out from my regular romances, and this was a real stretch for me. I'm not mad about it though! I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but now I immediately need the next book. 😬😳 Cliffhangers are fine as long as the next book is ready to go. 🤣

This was super promising! It was (imo) about 300 pages too long. I love the ideas that were used to build the foundation, and if this had been a standalone, I would have understood. But it ended on a cliffhanger. Not my cup of tea, and I'm sure others out there will adore this. ♥️
