The Hidden Legacy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews continues as Nevada and Rogan navigate a world where magic is the norm…and their relationship burns hot.

Nevada Baylor has a unique and secret skill—she knows when people are lying—and she's used that magic (along with plain, hard work) to keep her colorful and close-knit family's detective agency afloat. But her new case pits her against the shadowy forces that almost destroyed the city of Houston once before, bringing Nevada back into contact with Connor "Mad" Rogan.

Rogan is a billionaire Prime—the highest rank of magic user—and as unreadable as ever, despite Nevada’s “talent.” But there’s no hiding the sparks between them. Now that the stakes are even higher, both professionally and personally, and their foes are unimaginably powerful, Rogan and Nevada will find that nothing burns like ice…

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

* Includes two bonus scenes of Rogan's point of view during Burn For Me.

actors

I've listened to this book , not dramatized . I like the series so much I decided to purchase this version. I've listened to others and loved them. The actors did a good job, I liked the paced. I'm going to say that the reverberating "power" voices were a cheap cop out. I was disappointed.

Performances were great

Loved it! It was fun to listen to from beginning to end, and it was fun to hear this book come to life.

Was hoping the performances would grow on me…

I decided to give the second Graphic Audio version on the book a try, even though I wasn’t a huge fan of their production of the first one. I was hoping it’d grow on me. It didn’t. The story is still great—maybe my favorite series by Ilona Andrews—but I’ll be sticking with Renee Raudman’s narration going forward.

Very fun and great performance

I love how GA brought this novel to life. Fantastic job! Had to bookmark Leon’s commentary hahaha. The best! Looking forward to GA’s adaptation of the rest of the books in the series.

An amazing dramatisation

I loved this series when I first read it! The dramatized version is great!

A necessary evolution for the Baylor family

Don’t let the summary mislead you; this is an urban fantasy, not a romance book. Or rather, the romance is a bonus to the unique alternate world and extended cast of characters.

While there are some characters that I voice differently in my mind (including Mad Rogan, who I think needs a scratchier, less refined voice), I prefer the graphic audio format because the single narrator format features Rene Raudman. Ms. Raudman is a fan-freaking-tastic narrator, However, the Hidden Legacy series has too many character similarities as the Kate Daniels series, and using the same narrator for both urban fantasy series revolving around an uber powerful, kickass heroine made it really hard to separate the two and enjoy them as separate series. Let’s count the matching characters from the two series. 1) Nevada is just like Kate: both snarky, self sufficient women who don’t trust easily and whose instinct when threatened is to push back hard, 2) Mad Rogan/Curran start off as the bad boy alpha males that our heroines duel with, both with words and fists, but over the course of the series move through the enemies to lovers arc, 3) Bug/Derek serve as the sidekicks, who become steadfast and loyal to the power couple, but also provide teenage style comic relief, 4) Augustine/Saiman interact regularly with our characters as sources of information and potential manipulators- you’re never quite sure if they’ve got your back or will stab you in the back, 5) Grandma Frieda/Era is the familial link to Nevada/Kate, shrewd and ruthless, and not giving a fig what society thinks of their behavior, 6) Arabella/Julie as the plucky kid who will in future books become a kickass heroine in her own right. I could go on, but you get the picture. And Rene Raudman clearly understood that these characters were written alike because she voices these doppelgängers identically. So, yeah, graphic audio has helped a lot to separate these characters and get me to full immersion.

The big Baylor family is my favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series- it is very different from the “Kate Daniels” alone against the world starting point in the other series. I loved the Kate Daniels series as the books progressed, and the number of her friends and family grew. In this series, Nevada starts off with a big, fun, close knit family. Tank loving grandma Freida, lethal sniper mom, wicked smart Bern, angsty and earnest Leon, ephemeral Catalina, and precocious Arabella. In this book, the extended Baylor family grows to include Rogan, Bug, Cornelius, and Matilda.

Come for the kick ass urban fantasy about battling magical houses in modern day Texas. Stay for the heart and fun that is House Baylor. And, bonus: there’s a chapter at the end giving us the Nevada/Rogan meet-cute from Rogan’s POV.

can't wait for the next one!

This book has excellent narration. It is definitely worth purchasing if you enjoy graphic audio and Ilona Andrews.
