Publisher's summary

From Ilona Andrews, New York Times best-selling author, the thrilling conclusion to her Hidden Legacy series, as Nevada and Rogan grapple with a power beyond even their imagination.

Nevada Baylor can't decide which is more frustrating - harnessing her truthseeker abilities or dealing with Connor "Mad" Rogan and their evolving relationship. Yes, the billionaire Prime is helping her navigate the complex magical world in which she's become a crucial player - and sometimes a pawn - but she also has to deal with his ex-fiancée, whose husband has disappeared and whose damsel-in-distress act is wearing very, very thin.

Rogan faces his own challenges, too, as Nevada's magical rank has made her a desirable match for other Primes. Controlling his immense powers is child's play next to controlling his conflicting emotions. And now he and Nevada are confronted by a new threat within her own family. Can they face this together? Or is their world about to go up in smoke?

5 stars just isn't enough!

I loved this book! I have actually already read this book twice since I was able to get my hands on a copy. I couldn't wait to get started the first time through the book and barely came up for air until I finished the story. I knew that I would need to slow down and read it a second time before being able to write a review. So I read this book for a second time less than three months after my first read through and I liked it just as much the second time. There really aren't many books that I would able to do that with. I had such a good experience reading this book.

This is the third book in the Hidden Legacy series which really does need to be read in order. The whole series is amazing so you won't want to miss the earlier books anyway. Nevada and Rogan have been through a lot together by the time this book starts and things have changed drastically for Nevada and her family. Nevada and her family can no longer stay hidden so they must decide how to safely move forward. Their agency has taken on a case for Rogan's ex, Rynda. Rynda's husband is missing and nobody seems to want to look for him.

As we have come to expect, Nevada and Rogan will work together through some pretty tense situations in this novel. The action gets pretty intense and is really quite exciting to read. This book is so much more than a romance story but the romance is really well done. Nevada and Rogan belong with each other. I love every time they are on the page with each other. Their chemistry is off the charts and their banter is a lot of fun. Add a few magical elements into the mix and you have a story you can't quit thinking about.

The secondary characters are so well done. I think that every character in this series has something to add to the story. Nevada's family are so much fun and their feelings for each other are really genuine. Rogan's people are loyal and a force on their own. Cornelius and Matilda have almost become an extended part of the Baylor family and I really like the perspective that Cornelius brings to the agency. There is even a pacifist Kodiak bear and a blue tiger that is literally out of this world.

I highly recommend this series to everyone. I love the world that the writing pair of Ilona Andrews has crafted in this series and am in awe at the characters that live in that world. I will keep my fingers crossed that there might eventually be a few more novels in this wonderful series.

I received an advanced reader edition of this book from Avon Books via Edelweiss.

Notes on the Audio
This was awesome as always. 5 stars are simply not enough. So this was my third time through the book in less than a year. You could say that I like this series. Just a little bit. I listened to the audio for this re-read and thought that Renee Raudman did an amazing job with the story. This book really has it all. I love everything about it and I NEED more books in this series.

Am I Missing something?

I absolutely love this series and Andrews' books, but felt lost on this third book. I missed more of Nevada and Rogan working together and the story left the reader feeling empty at the end. I thought this was the final book, but it appears we are left with another cliff hanger. I hope when and if another book comes out, it won't take 3 years. Although the writing and character development is still good and the audio performance is superior, I was disappointed in the overall story. This has never happened for me with an Andrews' book before.

Another awesome story

Any additional comments?

I have no idea how they keep coming up with these stories? They have everything you want in an urban fantasy with a touch of paranormal romanceishness. When people complain about delayed release dates I really just want to slap them. 1-it's most likely the publisher, editor, etc that has caused the delay OR 2-they are perfecting the story-THIS is what we wait for people! Excellent writing, engaging characters, a story that you gobble up as fast as your mind can process what you read. I hope Nevada and Rogan get a long story line like Curran and Kate b/c they are just as much fun. I wish the covers could reflect the awesomeness of the story and characters. The covers look like a Harlequin Romance (not that there's anything wrong with Harle) and this is so much more/different. Don't judge a book by its cover. Great story!!

Renee Raudman was awesome as always!

Fantastic end to the series. loved it!

love this series. highly recommend

Good! Just not the Best.

Not my favorite of this series, but good nonetheless! Rogan and Nevada's relationship has simmered down a bit now that they're having sex in my opinion. They're a little calmer, which could be a good thing to some! I find Rogan's respect for Nevada's power and position touching, but it results in him taking a less active position than in previous books. So like I said, it's a good book! Just not my favorite in the series.

Loved it

Thought this was the best book ever. I a ready to reread it again already!!

love the book

I love this book have loved all the books in the series. have all books by the duo

So many answers but so many more questions!

I absolutely love a jealous hero and heroine, That was so much fun to see their relationship ship tested on another level. Renee does a good job as always but I do hate her ‘Asian’ voices. They always sound stereotypically accented when Asian Americans raised in the states speak English the same way as others. That’s a minor gripe I have about her, but otherwise, great job. I can’t wait to jump into Catalina’s stories. August cannot come soon enough!

Making a strong house

The story flowed at a good pace, the making of the house was flawless and had the right twisted end.

Good twists and turns

Quite the enjoyable read! Funny moments. Exciting build up. Unexpected moments. Enjoyable all the way around.
