Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews

Hidden Legacy, Book 5

Synopsis: Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author, continues her spellbinding series set in the Hidden Legacy world where magic controls everything…except the hearts of those who wield it.

As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers—powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control. Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart.

The nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every battle could be his last. Because Catalina won’t rest until she stops the use of the illicit, power-granting serum that’s tearing their world apart.

Review: I was really looking forward to this novel and I immersed myself in the story as soon as I could! It was a real pleasure to meet all the characters again.

Catalina has a lot to deal with. It’s really not easy and just when she thought she had managed to overcome her heartache, the man who abandoned her is back in town. Worse than that, she is thrown into a business and he finds himself on the same case, and as a bonus, he becomes her bodyguard. Having to face their feelings for each other again, Catarina will realize that Alessandro has changed a lot. But can she risk her heart again?

The investigation is exciting and I was curious to understand what was going on with all these monsters attacking Catalina and her family. A vast story that goes far beyond what our heroes think and our heroine will have to do everything she can to save her own.

It was a great novel and I had a great time with the characters and the story. We are seeing Connor and Nevada again and I can’t wait to read more novels from this series, as always!
