Sapphire Flames

A Hidden Legacy Novel

By: Ilona Andrews

Narrated by: Emily Rankin

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrew 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.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

I devoured this book. If you've never read an Ilona andrews book, dont start here, start with burn for me. If you read the first trilogy and are worried about a new protagonist, don't be. Catalina is not just a new Nevada, she is definitely her own person and therefore has her own struggles and weaknesses. My favorite thing about her is probably her intelligence. She is not the heroine you would yell at through your screen asking why the heck she is going into the obvious killers lair. But she is young, and needs to work on her self confidence, and I think that is something that we will be able to watch grow throughout this trilogy and I. Cannot. Wait!

Catalina's turn

Now head of House Baylor, making the big choices, and trying show strength is doesn't have....while running into her teen crush.
Loved the story line and can not wait for more!!!

I like the different voice

Initially when I heard the different take on voices compared to the previous story with the main character’s sister I kept getting distracted by it. But after hearing it a couple of times I don’t mind it. The voices are more representative of a younger character and represent how the character perceives the world around her. This makes the story distinctly about Catalina.

chuckling

I don't know if it was intentional, but I found myself laughing at intervals. The characters were real.

Further adventures of House Baylor

I loved seeing Catalina grow into her new role, and learning more about Alejandro. Looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Good world building and interesting magic theory
