Sapphire Flames - Book Review

 


Sapphire Flames (Hidden Legacy #4)
by Ilona Andrews

What is it about:
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes an enthralling new trilogy set in the Hidden Legacy world, where magic means power, and family bloodlines are the new currency of society…

In a world where magic is the key to power and wealth, Catalina Baylor is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, and the Head of her House. Catalina has always been afraid to use her unique powers, but when her friend’s mother and sister are murdered, Catalina risks her reputation and safety to unravel the mystery.

But behind the scenes powerful forces are at work, and one of them is Alessandro Sagredo, the Italian Prime who was once Catalina’s teenage crush. Dangerous and unpredictable, Alessandro’s true motives are unclear, but he’s drawn to Catalina like a moth to a flame.

To help her friend, Catalina must test the limits of her extraordinary powers, but doing so may cost her both her House–and her heart.

What did I think of it:
When a good friend gifted me a copy of Emerald Blaze (book 5 in this series) I discovered I totally missed the release of Sapphire Flames. Luckily that same friend was willing to lend me her copy of Sapphire Flames so I could catch up.

And this is yet another cool addition to this series. 

I will confess I had difficulties warming up to the love interest, who is one of those cocky jerks who think they're charming and witty and who seem to dominate the world of romance these days. If he'd just been acting witty while not being so full of himself, I might have liked him better.

That being said: the action and the story are super cool. I was hooked from the start and rooting for Catalina to figure out what was going on. And there is a lot going on I can tell you!

The main storyline gets a satisfying conclusion in this book, but other things happen that will mean Catalina has lots of things she needs to deal with in the next book. You bet I'll pick up Emerald Blaze soon.

All in all a cool read, I'll need to get my own copy of this book.

Why should you read it:
It's a cool Paranormal Romance
