Emerald Blaze

A Hidden Legacy Novel

By: Ilona Andrews

Narrated by: Emily Rankin

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.

Best

Best Hidden Legacy novel so far in terms of plot and pacing. Never a dull moment. I listened to it from start to finish in one day. Kept me up last night. All night. I won't regurgitate the story elements but I'll just say that if you're a fan you won't be disappointed.

Hooked since book 1

Emerald Blaze doesn't disappoint! From the first book in this series, I have been hooked and I don't see myself giving up until the end. If you haven't listened, START NOW!

Another Triumph

Definitely a Must Listen. The storyline holds your interest within the first few minutes and doesn't let go until the last word. This book is another jewel in the series and a triumph for the author. Great narrator. Listened to this book in one setting, even while in the store. I just couldn't pause it.

A gem!

... and I don't mean just the title! I laughed, swooned like a blushing virgin and clapped maniacally. The characters are wonderful, even the scheming family members that continue to put wrenches in Catalina's and Alessandro's relationship. Pure brilliance - even the slightly ominous ending.

Great addition to the series

This moves the overall story along so well, and as with all of this series, leaves you wanting the next installment NOW! The cliffhanger is for the arc of the series, this particular story arc ends in a gratifying manner.
The voice actor was good, though spoke a bit to slow for my taste so I just sped up the speed a little bit and it was perfect.
Can’t wait for the next one!

Great characters and alternate world.

Love all of Ilona Andrew’s books! This is at least my 3rd time to listen to the this series.

Ilona Andrews Never Fails to Deliver

The authors are spectacular at melding believable urban fantasy and family dynamics.
I’m delighted that this series has heated up and developed so intricately.
The villains creep up on you and you find yourself invested in disliking them and rooting for House Baylor and their allies.
The authors are gifted in their ability to make listeners/ readers feel deeply for their characters. You find yourself laughing at very relatable social situations, family moments and ironic events.
Relationships are complex and believable. Pain and joy and juggling family and the fast paced life of Primes trying to survive in a cut throat society.

All of this is intertwined with investigations of crime and devious plots. The dark undertones and twists and turns will hook you and keep your interest to the last page.

I’m looking forward to the next book!

Great series

I have really enjoyed this series so far. The books are action packed and the characters are well developed and draw you in. There is a mix of humor and dramatic events that the characters must overcome.

The narration is good with distinct character voices.

Everything I was Hoping for, & More!

Absolutely loved it! This is everything an continuation of a series should be! more character development continuation of plot lines and bloodlines! more world-building, new and returning characters, interesting story and an great mystery to help at all how long!

Happy to see this voice actor return for this book and I hope to hear her again for the next book which I can't wait for. I know some people don't like her I'm not really sure why I don't really hear or notice whatever it is that's bothering them. I recommend listening to the simple before buying it, if that something that will really irritate you. other than that one thing, that's I think is a matter of opinion for different people, and is a decision I think you should make for yourself, I can't recommend this book enough!

Screaming inside from how good it was!!!

The Hidden Legacy series is my favorite from Ilona Andrews. Being so in love with Nevada’s story, I was afraid I wouldn’t enjoy Catalina’s as much. But fear not! Catalina’s story is just as amazing (and possibly more). I look forward to more books in the future.

Also, Emily Rankin is an excellent narrator, bring the story to life in so many ways.
