Avid readers know that it doesn’t get better than turning fellow readers on to a fantastic book or series, so if paranormal romance aficionados have not yet discovered Andrews’ phenomenal Hidden Legacy trilogy, then they are truly missing out! In the conclusion of this story arc, brilliant Andrews pulls out all the stops and delivers in a mammoth way. The evolution of Nevada and Rogan’s romance has been an incredible saga that has also been jam-packed with high-stakes magical mayhem, family and political machinations, as well as the development of an abiding passion and respect.

From Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling 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?

JILLY says
I love Nevada. She is hilarious and so well-written.
Rhoda says
I love the family Dynamics, the people in the Baylor family have flaws and problems and yet they are family and will do what needs done
Sara says
I love Nevada’s family dynamic. Some of my favorite scenes between the two books are when the whole family is in the kitchen–their banter is priceless. Every character is unique, funny, and relatable.
Amira M. says
One of my favorite things about HL is the mystery !!
Meigan says
Just one favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series?! Mad Rogan. I mean, I could probably go on for days, but Mad Rogan!
Thanks for the chance!
Audra says
I love the different talents!
Rachel says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the different magical abilities and the way they are categorized by different types! Looking forward to Wildfire coming out!
Alexis says
I love that they’re both clear communicators! That’s so rare (both in fiction and real life).
Miranda Morris says
I love the relationship between the sisters. Very true to life!
Meghan Peacock says
I love the world building! Y’all rock at it!
Allyson Blevins says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy, well there’s actually more than one, but it’s how you can actually relate to the characters. Yes I don’t have magic, but they comment that Nevada made in Burn For Me about being upset with yourself resonates across. You do a wonderful job of connecting us to the characters.
EMEM says
I actually have several favorites, world building, family dynamics for two. But if I have to pick one, it’s the fact this is taking place in my town, Houston.
Teresa Hughes says
I like the family dynamics but I am dying to know what Arabella’s power is. Awesome series.
Kristine says
I love the family interactions…..
Harman says
I really love the characters, you truly made them your own. I love Nevada and Conner. Also the world building and plot line is different (unique) compared to other books I have read. I think you mentioned before that Wildfire will be the last book in this series, but I hope it continues! Or at least release a full book from Conner’s pov. Much love for this book series!!!:)
Harman says
Omg, can’t believe I didn’t mention Nevada’s grandmother. Absolutely adore her, so when’s the wedding guys:)
TK Vincent says
Hidden legacy’s political structure within the world building context is rich, believable and fascinating!
Cerulean says
I love your world-building, Nevada’s strong family ties (love Grandma Frieda!), and especially the relationship of snark and respect and equality between Nevada and Rogan. They both have their strengths that complement each other. They can trade times they’re “in charge” because they respect each other’s strengths while they can recognize and accept their own “weaknesses”. That’s pretty rare.
Emily says
I like the Baylor family. They are a great bunch of supporting characters; especially grandma.
Julia da Costa says
My favorite thing in Hidden Legacy, as in your other books, is the main female character.
Nevada is so strong, she is smart, she doesn’t accept bull**** from anyone!!! She’s proud of who she is, she doesn’t need other’s money, se cannot be bought! that is SO amazing.
I usually don’t like female leads because they are shallow, but Nevada is AWESOME.
and of course I can’t forget the fact that she has an awesome family!!! i love the bond between them all!
Thank you for creating an character that I actually want to read more, instead of only reading because of the loverboys! haha

and since I’m already thanking here, Thank YOU GUYS for Kate Daniels. its just my favorite series in all time <3
Alysia says
I love the family interactions and relationships. The world itself is so awesome I want more stories in it but the Baylor family just makes me want to hang at their warehouse for the entertainment factor.
Cate says
The novelty of the Hidden Legacy world and the great family dynamics woven into the story lines.
Jean-ann Stump says
It’s hard to pick just one thing that I love about the Hidden Legacy series. I have read and reread the first two books several times. If I had to pick just one thing I think it would have to be Nevada’s family. I Love the Baylors. They are the kind of family that we all want. They tease each other and argue but whenever there is a crisis they know that they can count on each other.
Jody Yordy says
This series is something my sister’s and I enjoy reading, and listening to on long car rides home.
Kaye says
I’ve enjoyed the evolution of Nevada and Rogan’s relationship.
Carolina says
The family dynamics, Grandma Frida is so awesome! I love Nevada’s and Rogan’s relationship and how much they communicate with actions as well as words.
Kaylen/Kayeri says
That Nevada’s family is just that, with all the love and conflict that includes. I also love the addition of these powers into something so very like our modern world. =)
Jen says
The thing I like the most is the incredibly well written world. It is so hard to create a new universe in fiction and have it remain consistent and believable.
Plus .. Mad Rogan!
Rosered says
My favorite thing is the history (origin) of magic in the hidden legacy world. It creates a world similar to ours with one tweak that has major repercussions.
Sandy R says
The family of strong women….oh, and Rogan
Divya S says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s close knit relationship with her family.
Anna L says
I love the family dynamics and the ferrets. It is always about the ferrets!
Mike says
I love the magic, the complexities of the different types and ratings plus how the houses control everything. Love it when you give the detail behind the magic!
Can’t wait for the book! ?
Eva says
I love the worldbuilding, all those different magics and ideas. Also Nevada’s family – they’re all so awesome and their relationship feels so genuine.
Ada says
Too many favorite things to pick just one. Love the series so far and can’t wait for more. My favorite thing would be hearing that there will be (a lot) more books to come after wildfire. Want more Nevada, Rogan, and the family!
lacrima says
One thing, you want me to pick just one thing? I love all of it! Okay, deep breath, hmm.
I love the way the magic works, and the history of it. The characters are another highlight.
Oh, and the ferret heist. Absolute favorite thing in White Hot. Laundry vents, hehe.
Simmi says
I love the way Nevada interacts with her family. Those scenes are my favorite. Especially the ones with Grandma. 🙂
Erin M. says
I love the corporate/family structure. I love Nevada’s family dynamic and that she has a loving support system.
Elizabeth says
Very difficult to pick one thing…I love the family, the world building, the different magic abilities (what is Arabella’s??). A really enjoyable series
Shelly says
I can’t think of just one thing. Grandma builds tanks. Mom is a sniper. Cousins are techno geeks. Sisters are rock solid support even when it costs them, Rogan and Nevada are the strong leads. What’s not to like?
Alea says
Mark one more for the family being a major attraction!
Nicole says
What is there not to love about this series?? Gorgeous alpha, check. Independent strong heroine, check. Magic, check. Love, fighting and mystery, check, check, check!!!! And you can’t forget the crazy family!!
Linda says
I´ve had Burn for Me on my Kindle waiting for me to start reading =) I just need vacation and time to read <3
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy Friday!
//Linda
MeggsH says
It’s hard to pick just one thing – I’ll list my top favs- in no particular order:
Family dynamic – it’s AWESOME. I read a ton of Urban fantasy and paranormal romance and so very often either the MC is alone or side characters are fairly one dimensional or stereotyped. Love love LOVE the family interactions.
The way Rogan and Nevada communicate. They ACTUALLY communicate. It drives me crazy in other novels when characters don’t communicate (mostly for no other reason then all their problems would be solved if they did and then where would the story be)
Nevada’s self esteem. That scene in Burn for Me when Rogan is confused about Nevada’s reaction to Harper – YES! ” power punch for women everywhere!”
I could go on on an on… love this series!!
Gillian says
I like the world-building. It’s so interesting!
Also, the Baylor’s. They’re lovely.
ShadowKat says
It’s my opinion that the story Of Swine and Roses leads into the Nevada series. I liked OSaR and have enjoyed reading the expanded version of the world. You always create very engaging characters and I love your world-building. I love all your books. 😀
Dawn says
Everything is amazing. I am always impressed with your world building. It’s so creative and well written that it feels real. I would love to win the giveaway!
Heather says
Rogan’s. Hotness and vulnerability
Georgia Wade says
Love how all the kids talk to each other, so real! And Leon is a riot!
Ooo says
I love the world building and of course the characters. What I love the most is that I can re-read the series any time and it will always put me in a good mood. Which means a lot. Thank you.
Dianne says
Read the first one. Want to read the 2nd one SO BAD, but know if I get it now I’ll break down & read it now (as opposed to having both 2 & 3 to read up in the mountains for vacation). Am counting the days…
Candy says
Love the Baylor family , especially the Grandmother ?
Sarah K says
I have to pick only one thing?! How about the writing? lol The world is immersive and interesting. I love the characters and interactions. The last pages of the books keep me immersed in the world when I lift my eyes from the page.
Apothecary says
All of the book, but if I had to choose one thing its the relationship between Nevada and Connor, how she rescues him, and understands the damage of being at war has inflicted on him, no wonder he adores her.
Heather says
My favorite thing about the series is the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. They are such entertaining characters.
Bridget Marchione says
I love the family dynamic. I really hope this isn’t the end of the series.
Nancy Gilliland says
I love everything about this series, but mostly I love the interaction between Nevada and Rogan…she doesn’t back down when she is right, Nd Rogan gives her the respect and support she deserves.
Chris says
I like the family relationships, especially the banter.
Christine says
I really like the development of Rogan’s character and how you come to find out how deeply he cares for those he’s allowed into his circle, and how much they care for him.
I also love how Nevada is a strong woman who doesn’t need to be rescued! So often, when a woman goes looking for advice from a man in her life, he thinks she needs rescuing, when in reality, she just needs a sounding board or another point of view of a situation.
Virginia Maestas says
Favorite is the family relationship in the Baylor family – everyone stands up for each other and is their support system
PyeCat says
What’s my favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series?
It’s not that it takes place in Houston. I lived there, and it’s fun to imagine the chaos, but no.
The rich world-building is way up on the list. The ways magic did and did not affect the world (and the discussion of just how much one change diverts a parallel history sneaked into ‘White Hot’ was great), how the Houses fit into society (tech allegory, maybe?), and how people with powerful abilities conceal as much as possible, are all logical and well-constructed.
The family dynamics — the contrast of Nevada’s family to the Houses — is just a notch higher.
My favorite thing is embodied in the name of the series: Hidden Legacy. Someone who was no-one is shaking up how a few key Primes see themselves and the world, and it will be a change for the better. I like that hope.
Moira says
My favorite thing about hidden legacy is the unique characters and the humor
Andrea says
Thieving ninja ferrets, I laughed until I cried.
Rena says
That was a classic moment. I would love to see this series end up as a movie, that scene would rock. But you know it has to be Disney who makes it. 😉
Jen says
I love the strong heroine and the world building. ?
Becca says
I love the fact that Nevada is a normal person even with her powers. She loves and supports her family, eccentric as they are at times.
Alison says
I absolutely love the world building and the snarky/witty dialogue among all the characters, but especially among Nevada’s family
Jessica says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy was how family oriented Nevada is – you don’t realize how many stories have no sense of family love. It makes me smile and want to annoy my brothers every time I reread it.
Sarah says
While Nevada is cool, I love Rogan! I hope we get more POVs from Gordon just cuz I can’t get enough of Mad Rogan. He is what first drew me to the series. The guy cracks me up, and I love his and Nevada’s relationship. I also love the Baylor family, and the world building in HL has been fantastic. It’s actually what led me to giving Kate Daniels a try which I also now love as well.
JMH says
The best thing about the Hidden Legacy books for me is the world building. I know this is fanasty, but the details are so rich it feels like reality.
Christine Chang says
Just one favorite?!!! I love the world and characters. I am so sad this will be the last book in the trilogy and hope to see more stories about the characters in the future
Michelle says
I also like the family dynamics. But I also enjoy discovering a new world especially since I live about 30 minutes away from Houston.
Deanna says
As always, you’ve created a memorable cast of side characters like Bug and Augustine. I can’t wait for Wildfire!
Brandi says
I love everything! The action, the family, the connection between Connor and nevada…you guys rock!
Christine says
Greeting from Germany,
can’t await the third book of your Hidden Legacy Story! Love the books especially for your character-concepts und your sense of humor. Every time I read them I can’t put them aside until I’m ready with reading them.
So..well, I can’t nominate “the” favorite thing of Hidden Legacy. I think it’s the interaction of all details, that generally make all of your books great.
Thanks for kidnapping us to the worlds of your storylines.
sharon says
I’m sorry, I can’t have just one favorite. It’s the characters, it’s the blood and gore action scenes, it’s the ‘how in the FRAK do they keep coming up with these incredible worlds? All of them. All of your series are unique and just plain outstanding.
Jenna says
I love Rogan and nevada’s relationship and watching them learn more about each other!
Amanda Geer says
There’s a lot I love about these books so I’m going with top two. The verbal exchanges between Nevada and Connor is one. The other is the entire Baylor family (including Grandma Frida)!
Kim R. says
First, I love the well written characters. I absolutely adore Nevada and her family!! The plot and all the secondary characters that I can’t wait to read about. Second, I quite enjoy the not perfect “fall in love story”. I can’t wait for Wildfire to come out!!
Edward says
Realistic human reactions and an understanding and in depth portrayal of veterans. It is rare to find literature with a character who I can relate to as a veteran. Struggling with PTSD is difficult without seeing nuanced examples in culture. Thank you for producing a work that combines epic magic with realistic romance to create a true story of human interaction in a fictional world.
Jane says
My favourite part is definitely Grandma Frieda, hands down.
Christina says
I like the way you characterize Rogan as a dragon. I associated him very strongly with Curran but less and less as he devloped into a “dragon” personality as opposed to a slightly (?) psycho lion.
Lou says
I love all the Ilona Andrews books and have read and reread them multiple times. I’m very much looking forward to Wildfire because I’ve really enjoyed the Hidden Legacy series and want to see the next step. As with every book this team has written, I immediately preorder without looking at the price. I know it will be a keeper and certainly hope the adventure continues beyond the third book. Strong female lead with creative and intriguing supporting characters. If this isn’t where to post please let me know. But I’m getting the book regardless.
Rachel says
I love the character dynamics. Everyone seems real, as though they were people you could meet on the street.
Jikie says
The sibling interactions. Being the eldest daughter (and child) is hard. After all, who else will bring home the sushi?
Otherwise, all the different House politics. 😀
Laura says
I love Nevada’s relationship with her family!
Joe says
The family, particularly the dynamics between matriarchs.
Joe
Sierra McWilliams says
I love Nevada’s strong and consistent character, and how tightly her family sticks together.
Sims says
Oh I’m so excited!! My favourite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the magic. I love really detailed and unique magical worlds. I love wondering what new things I’ll see and the Complex rules and it’s fun to imagine what type of power I could have in that world.
Shanita says
I’m not good with picking favorites, but I like how much fun it is even while dealing with serious topics. So many great characters to love! Thank you!
Kristi D says
My favorite thing is learning more about the siblings powers! Oh, and Rogan. Obvs
Stephanie says
I LOVE how invested I am in each character. No one is a throwaway and I want to know everyone’s backstory.
Most of all, I love how Nevada is a straight up bad ass, but it isn’t shoved in your face on every page. She has morals and sticks to a code and she isn’t rude or condescending. She does what needs to be done so that at the end of the day, she can go home and look her family in the face.
Judy Baldo says
I just started reading the second book in the series. What I love about the books in that you sneak in humor every now and then. I love the fact that you develop the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. Just like the Kate Daniels’s series.
Kerry says
I love the way everything just comes together. The amount of things that are foreshadowed, and just fit together like pieces of a puzzle when they become important. I always need to reread the books to get everything!
Theresa Walenta says
I loved Connor supporting Nevadas Magical Abilities no matter the consequences for their relationship.
Stacy Smith says
I love everything about this series!
Stacy says
But especially the humor
Lorna says
I like Nevada’s loyalty and care for her family.
Monica B. says
Nevada thinking about Rogan as a dragon. I almost died laughing and of embarrassment for her, when he figured it out. Close second is grandma’s need for pics.
Danielle says
Everything about Grandma.
Malin says
My most favourite thing is probably the family dynamics of the Baylors, and the way they both frustrate and will loyally protect each other to the death. My second favourite thing is the chemistry between Nevada and Connor. Third – the secret agent ferrets.
Kathy Hart says
I love the development of the relationship based on respect and individuality, as well as the extensive world building. And Houston is my current home town!
Lisa says
My favorite part is that the behavior, dialogue delivery, and relationship dynamics are from every day life. But just placed in a different “normal”. Life is messy. People are sarcastic and give each other a hard time. But underneath all the complications are a deep love of family.
MG says
I love how Nevada’s sense of responsibility is a core character trait and influences all of her decisions and how she views the world. It’s great to see this perspective within a fantasy world!
LaShawn says
I love that Nevada and her family are very normal people, despite having to deal with extraordinary circumstances.
Jess B says
Difficult to pick one thing! I love it all – the comedy genius exchanges between Rogan and Nevada, Nevada’s hilarious family, Bug, the animals and Cornelius…everything. I am counting down the days until this book is released!
Miranda c says
I love that you really relate and bond with the characters as you read and just fall in love with them. I have woke my husband up laughing at night as I re-read both books . ?
Rachel U. says
Favorite thing? Definitely the relationships between the characters – familial, romantic, and otherwise. Nevada’s character is so tied to the relationships that she has with those around her, which makes her a believable and authentic person. This also makes the evolution of her relationship with Rogan so amazing to read.
Thanks so much for your hard work on this series! Y’all deserve every great review, and I am so looking forward to this book release! 🙂
Dana says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the Baylor’s strong family bond.
Donna Medlin says
Interaction between the characters. I especially love Grammas comments and insights.
Rena says
My favorite thing about all of your books is your world building. The sheer detail and attention to the little things makes an incredibly rich world. I feel like I am walking through the book in their world when I read one of your stories.
Cheryl Goralnick says
I love the respect Rogans shows Nevada – he lets her be strong and an equal partner. It’s so refreshing how complementary they are.
I don’t ever read books twice and I’ve read the first two 4 times each.
Love them! Pick me please! I’m in vacation the 19th – 24th and go back to work on the 25th and will be a zombie if I have to stay up to the wee hours to try to read it when it comes out (or be a waste at work as I sneak off to the restroom over and over to get in a few pages)
Faith says
The writing – all of it. Yes this is a make believe world but the writing brings the characters alive. The dialogue and the emotions make these people and their lives very realistic and compelling.
And I like how people don’t just fall head over heals for each other and jump into bed the moment they meet. Don’t get me wrong, I read a lot of romance novels where this happens and I like them as well but with Hidden Legacy (and all of your books) characters like Nevada and Connor really get to know each other first before they are all like “I love you I cant live without you” Your writing is just so much more real than most. Nothing ever feels forced but seems like a nice natural progression.
Mel says
Favorite? I can’t pick only one thing! How about ALL the things?!
Nevada’s strength, Rogan’s determination, the intricate Baylor family interactions, the amazing fight scenes, and how well designed the powers and abilities are.
Love this series!
Becky H says
So hard to say what I like best!!! Grandma definitely and the relationship dynamics between all the characters, especially Nevada and Rogan!
Moa says
One favorite? You’re not making this easy…
I love Rogan. His character is wonderfully rich, his development is amazing. You can really feel him and how his world is changed thanks to Nevada. I can’t wait to see what happens in wildfire, every snippet so far is giving me undercurrents of angst and feelings and I absolutely love it!
Agata says
There are so many things I love in this series that I can’t write them all. I’ll just say, that you can create the best characters, which are so real, the action never let me get bored and Rogan… that’s it. Rogan tells everything. Besides the world of Hidden Legacy will never stop to amaze me. Greets from Poland, I can’t wait till 25th! 🙂
Alanna B says
The family dynamics –
Julie says
I love that I can escape to somewhere that makes me happy. Bipolar+anxiety+not working for 4 years=yucky reality. I try to stay positive and not let my current circumstances get me down, but it’s hard. Escaping to the worlds in your books where magic is real, family has your back and love wins out? It helps me make it through. Non-essential spending is basically eliminated from my budget right now but I have 2 authors that I make sure I purchase when new books are released and you are one of them (along with Anne Bishop in case you were curious). You make the world of Nevada and Rogan shine. Thanks for making my world a little bit brighter 🙂
Sonya Thornton says
I love Nevadas interaction with her family. Especially her grandmother and her mother.
Gloria says
I really appreciate that Nevada and Rogan are such strong individual people on their own,l. Watching them learn and feel their way with each other, especially since they are under such high pressure situations. The other characters in the books only add to the world that’s been created. Really enjoying the word that’s been created here and would love to see more.
Kaylee B says
Paranormal Romance is such a massive genre. You both managed to make a book that was originally and not cliched in the slightest.
The books are researched well. The characters are relatable and easy to get along with. The humor isn’t forced. The pacing is perfect.
I could go all day because it’s just a bloody good series. I love everything.
Morven says
I love the world building, the family, the characters….but most of all I love the snark! 😉
Mirren says
The dragon 😉
Marton says
I love the family banter, it is just awesome 🙂
James Jensen says
Well would have to say Grandma or Bug but more grandma. love the line hot oil and gas the grandma smell.
Melissa VanRavenswaay says
My favorite aspect of the hidden legacy series is how dedicated the Baylors are to each other.
Sally says
How do I count the ways? I love this series! I love the closeness of the Baylor family and how they have different values than other magical families. I love that Nevada works to improve her magic and use it wisely rather than taking short cuts or letting Rogan save the day. I love that the stories show the price of power and magic, sometimes terrible, sometimes isolating. That magic often makes more problems than it solves. That family and love and honor continue to be the most important things.
Ashley Smallwood says
I love the world and characters, especially Nevada and her crazy family.
Morven says
And I also love that my comments are no longer being held in moderation – well done you! Lol
Tasha A. says
Grandma the mechanic! I love her and every scene she is in. Your main characters are wonderful but its your secondary characters that make you books that much better!
Popcorn says
I love the crazy interactions between nevadas family. They are extreme but so many times I can see how a “normal” family would act the exact same way under those circumstance. Also I wish my grandma was as awesome as hers is!
Lynn says
Everything?
Connie says
I love the richness of the characters and the humor.
Eva Gholami says
I love the entire family. They are individuals with their own quirks but work together as a unit. I want to see how Leon is allowed to grow
Dina says
I Love the world building, the way the world of the Houses feels almost feudal or medieval. It shouldn’t work so well with the other elements of modern society, like the independent and strong women, who are soldiers, PIs, villains and monsters. A lot of underhanded feminism, I come to realise. Anyway, you make it work, that’s really great!
Katie says
I love the romance!
Jill says
The family dynamics are so true to life – the love and respect, but also the relentless teasing. At the end of the first book, I struggled with Rogan as a hero – like Nevada, he didn’t seem human enough. But the second book did a great job showing his vulnerabilities. Not just his strengths but his weaknesses.
Adrienne L. says
I love how the family sticks together and always steps up when the sh!t hits the fan. All of the members think about what is truly right, and what would be best for the family, instead of just themselves. Even the younger teens so this when things get crucial.
I always love your humor and attention to detail and unique world building. But in this series, the core family unit is simply awesome.
Tara says
My favourite thing about the Hidden Legacy series, (besides being written by my favourite authors) is the world building and character development.
Charlotte says
I love so many things about this series – the characters, the humor, the chemistry, and the variety of magical powers. Nevada is so true to her beliefs and strong for her family.
Mallory K says
I love everything about these books. The wiring is awesome, Nevada and Rogan after such a great story, and I have never encountered magic portrayed like this. All is super intriguing!
Also the little nerd references make me happy.
Susan Plocher says
I love the repartee b/w all the characters. I so enjoy all the Baylor family and their obvious love and respect for each other. They are such “real” people. I also love how they are teaching Rogan what family is and money/power never trumps love, faithfulness and integrity. There is humor, sadness, tragedy, redemption… All classic Ilona Andrews character/story traits
Brittany says
Hmmm. Let’s see. Grandma is hilarious. Rogan is awesome. I love how strong Nevada is. How she’s not perfect, how she doesn’t really have a defensive or offensive gift but turns it into a shield and a weapon anyway. How she owns her guilt but doesn’t constantly whine about how poor her, everything is her fault. How she doesn’t say things like she shoots like a man. How awesome of a shot she is. How she can be in shock and traumatized but if someone else needs her, she manages to do what’s necessary, even if she’s not “strong” in the doing. How she takes care of her family when she doesn’t have to. How she doesn’t make autocratic decisions for them either. She brings them into the discussion, into the choice. I love Nevada.
Heather says
Mad Rogan… enough said?
Christine Eaton says
My favorite “thing” about this series would be my favorite “thing” about any of Ilona Andrews’ books: strong lead characters, who are flawed but so compassionate and caring. Considering the romances, I love how the couples become partners: where one is weak the other is strong and vice versa.
berryblu says
I love your world building, your characters with their flaws and strengths, your exciting plots. 🙂 I guess my favorite part is the fun trip I go on when I read Hidden Legacy as well as your other stories.
By the way, thanks as always for your hard work.
Jenny Schuhwerck says
The thing I love most about Hidden Lagacy is it’s not your average paranormal romance where girl meets boy falls madly in love and becomes weak and stupid so he’ll rescue her. She kicks all the ass and occasionally allows him to help ☺
Katelin says
My favorite thing is definitely the uniqueness of the world. I love all the different powers and the twists and turns. Nevada is strong but has her flaw which makes her perfect. I would love to live in this AU. I want powers.
Reema says
I love the family dynamics. Leon, Arabella, Catalina, and Bern are so funny!
Leia says
I absolutely love the characters in this series, and I love how quickly and completely I become totally immersed in the world. It’s my absolute favorite.
Garrick P. says
The slow burn romance combined with the hope Nevada gives Rogan.
Emilee says
I love the byplay between Rohan and Nevada. I love that the romance never feels forced 🙂
Lisa Smith says
My favorite things about the Hidden Legacy series are the laugh-out-loud humor and the strength and depth of the family and romantic bonds. I have a friend who’s extricating himself from an abusive relationship, and I keep wanting to reference Rogan as a healthier example of what it SHOULD be like to be in a relationship with a more culturally and financially powerful partner. Seeeee how he wants her to make her own choices, and is aware of what she may give up by choosing him? Seeee how he’s a crazy alpha-hole, kind of, but doesn’t hold money over her head? Yeah. That’s good. This real-life guy – he’s bad.
To reference another art form, I’ve suggested using “What Would Lucille Bluth Do” as a nice guiding measure for dealing with this yucky ex. Worst case scenario, martinis and hilarity.
Marsha Sensel says
I think what I like most is the bond Nevada has with her family and that it really is a normal family with just a little bit of extra thrown in. I love the relationship between Nevada and Rogan.
Bj says
I love how future House Baylor takes the tropes of detective work and deconstructs them. The bad guys are smart, they good guys are just better. Many authors who are good at this in the finished manuscript, show rough drafts and they are a mess. It takes very good story teller props *AND* research and commitment to quality to preform quality rewrites. So far White Hot (reading for the 10th time) shows Avon made an awesome call when it allowed such strong writers the time to do the finished manuscript right.
Meghan says
Mad Rogan and Leon are my absolute favorite things about the Hidden Legacy series!
SierraH says
I love all of Hidden Legacy, but my favorite aspect is the relationships the characters have with each other. Of course, there is Nevada at the center with her family as well as with Rogan. I enjoy reading about Nevada as she navigates her PI business and balances it with the fact that her “employees” are her family members. But I also like Rogan’s relationships to other people. We were introduced to Tony in the first book and it was awesome to see him again in White Hot, even if it was under fire.
My favorite scene is when Nevada throws the chalk at Rogan after he critiques her circle work in Burn for Me. I still chuckle every time I read it. It embodies pretty much all of the relationships the characters have – they do things to help the people they care for even though it gets them nothing but lip in return.
Deva says
My favorite thing is actually the Baylor family. Nevada is great. But the rest of the family are so strong in their own right that I think they could really carry their own set of stories.
Catherine says
I love the depth of the side characters and the intricacies of the relationships between them 🙂
Pat says
I love how Rogan is willing to pursue Nevada, protecting her family, not for her, but with her. In the end I know Nevada will protect all those she loves (including Mad Rogan lol)
Fiona Tebbutt says
I just love a really good romance, this book has you routing for Nevada and Rogan getting together and I will keep reading in the hope the hope they do and they get there happy ending.
Joannn says
I love Nevada as much as I love Kate but for very different reasons. Kudos on creating series where your characters share similar mindsets, outlooks, and even morals without being simple copy/pastes into different worlds.
James Jensen says
Grandma Frida! totally favorite line has to be from Burn for me … and the Grandma smell: gas, engine oil and gunpowder.
Marne says
My favorite thing is the dialogue!
Diana V says
My favorite part of the series Nevada’s family and their interactions. I especially love her grandmother and her comments.
Joe from Cali says
I like the idea that the magic formula/potion is still out there!
Liz says
Picking my favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is tough. I really love the system for magic, as well as all the character interactions and politicing, basically I love all of it!
Vera Sue says
The books are just awesome! Nevada, her family and Mad Rogan are such an interessting lot. They never fail to surprise me with unexpected actions, turning the plot in a new direction. Can’t wait for the next book!
Lakshmi Chaturvedi says
I loved Nevada because of her responsibility and effort to do things with honesty and professionalism. I loved Mad Rogan for being deep, ruthless when necessary and extremely confident. Their banter was terrific 🙂
JenMo says
The world building! My God! It’s immersive and believable. And cool! Yes there’s magic. No it isn’t going to fix everything and make everything better. Of course the rich and powerful hoard it.
No one builds worlds like y’all!
Tanya says
I love everything about the Hidden Legacy books! The writing is amazing. The characters are multi-dimensional. The relationships are fluid and real. The family dynamics are off the charts. The dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny. I want these people to be my best friends and spend time with them! Thanks!
Nina says
I love the world building you have done, the magic powers are realistic and limited. My favorite parts to read are all the interactions between Rogan and Nevada. He’s super alpha, but he’s squishy inside too. Nevada is a strong woman leading her family and they make a great pair. My favorite scene is when Nevada is badmouthing Primes and Rogan comments about the irony which totally goes over Nevada’s head.
I hope Wildfire isn’t the end of the series!!
Madeleine S. says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is how Nevada pictures Rogan as a dragon 🙂
adriana barrantes says
I have been an avid reader of you since Magic Strikes. I have read EVERYTHING you have published and on release day i wait until midnight to get my kindle and not sleep. This has been my pattern for years. My ex husband and I have long chats about your worlds and characters (we had a huge fight about Kates knee XD) and I started reading while we drive to work to my BF. I have to say I have my favorites on the different series…. but Nevada… she is special.
Back to when i was first starting on your worlds i read “from swine and roses” it is my FAVORITE piece from all time, i read it at least 5 times a year and always wished you wrote more from it… and then YOU DID! Can you imagine? I could barely contain myself when Burn for me came out, i have read it at least 4 times by now (please keep in mind i read a lot and have tons of series that i am onto right now for example i just finished dune -took me too long i know- and i just finished speaker for the dead), but never never would i be able to go thru a day without reading something from one of your worlds.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So yeah im rambling: your books are my favorite, you are my favorite authors from the whole world and Nevada has a very special place in my heard because if comes from a world i have dreamed of for years since you published in your page for free “from swine and roses” (cameo anybody? can you at some point mix some of that in so i can die in peace knowing what happened?)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Love you and some day ill get the money to travel to the US and thank you personally for what your books have meant on my life.
Adriana
Syahira Sharif says
I’ve been quite apprehensive at first when I found out that the Hidden Legacy series is attached to Avon imprint considering they have a specific romance audience and preference which is why I was worried whether it would do well. In fact, I do feel it strange getting Burn For Me in Kinokuniya’s Romance section surrounded by bodice rippers rather than hanging out at the usual Science Fiction and Fantasy section with the rest of the Andrews’ series. I certainly don’t enjoy the long years in between Burn For Me and White Hot; but thankfully I found something similar to the chemistry between Nevada and Connor with Mass Effect trilogy’s Shepard and Kaidan. I find its interesting that both series helped me understand each other’s characters better. How Connor’s mind work, and how his abilities affected the people around him and make him the person he is. How Nevada despite her best intentions, she have too much principles within herself that at times it got herself into a lot of trouble and somehow I do feel like she made a better detective than Kate in all her intellectual glory. And I love all their families and laughed and love their familiarity with each other. Which is part why I love all leads especially female characters by the Andrews, they’re all distinct and unique with their own voices and characterization which is fun to empathize with and experience their lives and hardships.
I also like how there’s some remnants from Kinsmen series which I enjoyed; about having different houses with different abilities amidst fantastical elements and abilities. There’s also social and class structures within mages themselves and I like how there’s corporate elements which lend the relatable feel of realism rather than dystopian. As well as the overarching mystery and conspiracy which is intriguing by itself. Either way I can’t wait to read the next installment.
Jessica Hagendorn says
Love the fact that you don’t sugar coat the effect that war/combat can have on people. This is an issue that often times gets neglected in fiction and adds a gritty realism to the characters as well as shedding light on an oft ignored problem.
Melissa Y says
Just as many others have said, it is hard to pick just one thing to say that I like about this series. I love so much about it… Nevada’s family and the unique mix of personalities (esp. Grandma), the world building you’re so great at, as well as the evolving dynamic between Nevada and Rohan. They really challenge and complement each other, making it fun see what’s next. Can’t wait to read Wildfire. Thank you so much for the great stories you tell!!
Lynne says
Everything. I love everything about Hidden Legacy…love the characters, the story, the banter. I guess if I had to pick one stand-out thing among all the other stand-outs, I’d have to go with the dialogue.
Brianna says
My favorite thing about this series is the relationship between Nevada and Rogan! Hot, funny and honest. Doesn’t get better!
Jeanine Lesperance says
I love all of your books and am really looking forward to this one
Kelly Jacobs says
I love your stories.
The Legacy series is great because…
Nevada is smart AND fierce about protecting her family, and don’t we all wish we could tell when somebody lies to us?
Edana Gredley says
I love the family dynamics of Hidden Legacy and how they affect the characters. My own family is very clannish and it can be both fun and a real struggle to get us all working together. The phrase “herding cats” gets thrown around a lot.
Shadow miller says
I love all the series that Ilona and Gordon write! The Hidden Legacy books have a great female lead character who I can honestly just picture on the big screen with her awesome gift. Mad Rogan is just ..well hot!!! The books catch you from the first sentence and you can’t put them down. They are truly addicting. I can’t wait to read Wildfire! I’m anxiously awaiting
Kelly Bailey says
Bug’s dog. Bonus points for the dog and Rogan’s (very brief but adorable) scene in White Hot.
Edward says
The banter. It has to be the banter. Snappy and snarky at all the right times, the back and forth between the various characters is always entertaining and quite often vastly amusing. The quick replies, the pointed digs, the hidden passion, the not so hidden anger, and in general the assorted conversational gambits.
J. B. D. says
I love the worldbuilding in Hidden Legacy. The writing pulls you into the world from the very first page.
Samantha d says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s perspective on her life family and how that contrasts with society’s views on Primes. She’s so relatable and a great person without being holier-than-thou. Her relationships with her family are so fun.
Lynn L says
Nevada family sticks by her through thick and thin. They love and care for each other above all. Mad Rogan is fun too, crazy, but fun.
Preethi says
I LOVE the magic systems, the different kinds of magic users etc of the Hidden Legacy series -you know, the whole world-building aspect. But more than that, I absolutely love Nevada’s character. It is hard to find such sensible heroines in Urban Fantasy She is calm, collected, logical and knows when to act and when to back off. She is a mature one-of-a-kind heroine I LOVE to read about.
Another of my favourite aspects of this series is the family bond. Nevada’s family is so close and tight-knit( not counting evil grandma). That kind of family attachment and bonding, again is hard to find in books these days.
Andrea Almeida says
I haven’t read this one yet but I have read almost all of your other books. Love the Kate Danies series!!!
Katy says
My favorite things are Nevada and all of the strong personalities and well-rounded women in the books.
Melissa says
I really love the world building and how much depth the characters have. I love the humor and the relationships. I really love the series!!!!! You guys are the best ☺️
Stacy says
I love the world building in this, and the multifaceted and emotional connection most of the characters have. I also like that decisions (or lack thereof) can have profound consequences. I like that the characters are centered and confident in what they are, but can still learn, grow or change their minds. The feeling of being epic and yet personal, with all of the emotions – happy, sad, humor, anger… My favorite scene so far is the ferret break in, though. I really like the humor in your books.
Alexandra says
The part I love most in Hidden Legacy is the bond Nevada has with her family. Despite her wanting to keep everyone safe, her own family protects her too. I also love the magic system and Rogan!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Nancy anderson says
I love how absorbed I become with all of the characters. I want to follow the future stories of the siblings and see them get their HEAs and I want more ninja stealth ferrets and or other animals. 🙂
Alexandra says
I love how Nevada is strong and fierce, but not in the physical, punch you in the face kind of way like Kate Daniels. Nevada is significantly different, but just as strong in her own way. Plus, since I grew up in Houston, it is fun to see the references to places that I know. (Which is a bonus since I now live in Atlanta)
I also really like the family bond and the love that they show for each other.
Drew says
I love the contrast between the family relationships that Nevada has with the lack of family Rogan has. I think Rogan sees Nevada’s family and yearns to be a part of that love and care for one another.
Lisa says
The absolute LEGEND that is grandma Frida! Maaaan do I want that woman as my own relative. Hilarious and the woman builds freakin’ tanks. Burglars beware! Oh and Rogan of course, because he’s just too hawt. (Fans self).
Victoria (aka zEmfIrKa) says
The banter between Rogan and Nevada is just excellent (tbh, I really love the whole concept of the series, the world and characters are as always excellent). Thanks for the giveaway! I’m waiting to read White Hot (it’s been on my Kindle since publication date) until Wildfire comes out.
Sara S says
It’s hard to choose one thing as my favorite but one thing that stands out to me is rogan’s POV of the kidnapping scene. It was so fun to flip between the POVs and see what he was thinking vs what she got from his actions
Kathryn Jones says
There are so many things I love about these books. I love the family dynamic in these books. Nevada’s relationship with her family is amazing and I want to be part of it! Even her grandmother is kick as! This book is all about women power, although there are strong male characters, the women can easily take care of themselves.
Taryn Sikes says
I love the Hidden Legacy novels!! There are so many things about this series that I love, but the one that sticks out most is the character play. I love how Connor pushes all of Nevada’s buttons and that Nevada doesn’t take anyone’s, including Connor’s, BS.
Heather says
For me it is always about the dialog. If you don’t have snark, sass, humor, and strong leads; where would be the fun!
Lily's Notebook says
I haven’t read the Hidden Legacy yet but the book is on the top of my July TBR. The sequel will follow !
Thank you for the giveaway !!!
Iben Dhiin says
Rogan. Short and (not so) simple.
Byron Matthews says
The books are perfect . You care about all of the characters. The banter between Nevada and Rogan is spot on. Her fierce love of her family shines thru the books. The supporting characters are great and could have their own books. Everyone should read this series.
Jennifer says
I love the world building in Burn for Me. I also like how cohesive the story is and the pacing.
Renee Curtis says
I love this series. I wish it was going on longer than 3 books! I love the magic and the bond that the family has. I just love everything about this series. 🙂 Love all your books!
Viki says
I absolutley love Nevada personality. She is so smart and fierce.
Susan says
I love the books, but if I have to choose just one thing, I’d say Nevada’s family and her relationships with them. Especially Grandma and her tanks. 😀
SJK says
Hidden Legacy* got me though law school!
*The books are AWESOME but you guys kinda made waiting for the books fun too. Especially in this last semester, the updates, snippets, cover bashing, comments section, etc, were such nice getaways.
Amanda Larocque says
The interaction between rogan and other houses. Though Cornelius and his animals are a close second
Ailsa Richardson says
My favourite thing has to be Rogan and Nevada scenes, I have only read the first one as I plan to binge read when Wildfire is released but I love the way they are with each other. I love the fact they are both strong people who really don’t want to deal with romance and I can’t wait to see how things progress 🙂 x
Sarah says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the world building. I’m an anthropologist, and I love watching how one element is added (magic) and it shifts and changes the structure of society. Not unlike Leon’s homework assignment in book 2! I find learning how the society works, the hierarchies, the different types of magic and their reputation, even things like having your magical rating on LinkedIn completely fascinating. It hits me in all my anthropologist squishy bits!
Joanne Kim says
I loooooove the magic houses. The Kinsman series is one of my favorite things because of the Houses they have so this fits right into the style I love!!!!! And to me, this world seems more on the technological side than the magic than the Kate Daniel series and more in a real world situation. More real world as in less mythological creatures, vampires and shapeshifters and more like something that can happen in the future! 🙂
Julie says
I love love love this series. The writing is out of this world…… the characters are so real and the way they all interact with each other rocks!
Justine says
I like that Nevada is strong and independent while still being likable.
miki says
it took me sometmes to get the first book so i’m only starting but i LOVE the universe and touch of humour that makes it your style
thank you for this great giveaway
Christina says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the humor throughout, even in darker moments, and the strength Nevada draws from her entire family. Are they targets for her enemies? Maybe, but they’ll do anything for Nevada and most of all, each one is absolutely competent and even deadly. No ‘oh, Nevada’s poor helpless family is her Achilles heel’, no ma’am. They stand with her and beside her, and are the strength behind her and all that she does.
Sure, that and the burning chemistry between Nevada and Rogan ?
Zsofia says
The whole worldbuilding, how the magical system and the hierach is structured its so creative. And Rogan, defintly him too.
Ellie101 says
My favorite parts of the Hidden Legacy series are the relationships. First off, the slow burn, combatative to reluctant attraction romance. It’s delightful and Mad Rogan is a compelling frightning character and I love it.
Nevada’s relationship with her family and her family itself is delightful and I love getting to know her siblings and cousins more as the series goes on.
Lastly is Nevada’s relationship with her magic. She’s growing and learning and beginning to understand that she has to carve her way in a world where magical might is right and she’s losing a part of herself just to survive. Watching her grow is so awesome. Watching her grow with Rogan at her back and her colorful cast of family and friends watching the two of them setting off Sparks? It’s THE BEST!!!!
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I’d probably expire from happiness if I won, lol. ?
Sara says
It’s difficult to choose a favourite moment, so ill give you the one that I love, it’s when Adam Pierce says that he would like to do nasty things to Nevada only to correct himself and say “with you” and Nevada thinks “nice catch”. So many “romances” confuse passion with ownership and dominance, this was the moment I again knew I was in the right place, to have my romance and still feel like a respected female. My deepest congratulations on the great reviews and the hype, I can only say: you guys deserve them and more.
Charliann says
I love the relationships; both family and romantic. As always, you have created people I can relate to and who are real. Not some unattainable ideal.
Karren says
Nevada. She kicks ass and never gives up. Her loyalty to and care for her family. She takes chances. Keeps growing/learning.
Ariana Brosha says
I love the depth of the characters in all your books but for the Hidden Legacy series I really enjoy how magic has been introduced as it’s own form of science combined with skill and natural talent. 🙂
HaichM says
It’s hard to pick just one thing so hopefully I won’t get penalise for naming a couple of favourite things.
I really like Nevada’s determination and struggle to do what’s right for her family and her principles and I look forward to seeing how that works as an official Prime.
I love the worldbuilding with all its politics and the different kinds of magic – it’s different to a lot of things I’ve read (as pretty much all your stuff is).
I love Nevada’s family – their personalities and their bonds. They leap of the page as much as Nevada and help you to understand and love her character.
As always, the humour and emotional impact of your writing is spot on and keeps me coming back for more…once I actually manage to put it down.
Jessica says
I absolutely love this series. The magic system is so well developed and fascinating. It’s different from most other fantasies I’ve read and I love it.
For me, the real selling point is the characters and their development. I love that Nevada is not just some damsel in distress, but a strong character in her own right that can be an equal to Connor. In my opinion there aren’t enough romances with strong female leads, thank you so much for writing this series and these characters. I’ve been looking forward to reading the rest of this series since the first book and am so happy that the last two books are finally being released!!
NiraCatalina says
First of all: thank you for this giveaway. You’re awesome!
My favourite thing about Hidden Legacy is the strong female lead surrounded by more strong female characters. Nevada is not afraid to tackle difficult situations on her own, but also never afraid to admit when she needs help. And I don’t only mean ‘physical’ help, but also emotional one. I know from personal experience how hard it can be to emotionally unload and just admit to being weak or unsure about something. I also kinda love her stubborn streak as I can relate so that as well. 😉 In the background is Nevada’s family as her backbone as well as her weakness. Another thing I find very realistic. Nevada together with her awesome family (I loooove her grandmother, mother and sisters as well as her cousins) is the heart and soul of these books.
(And of course I would never forget Connor ‘Mad’ Rogan. Which woman could ever forget the dragon? 😀 )
Sara says
I love Nevada family and the atmosphere; the camaradice they create.
Rachel K. says
I really enjoy the pacing of the story telling. It grabs my attention and leaves me wanting to dive right in to the next book. For me it has all the things I love, relatable characters, an interesting world, and a balance between drama and humor that is just delicious.
Heather Luce says
I love the world building, kickass action, and family is forever attitude. Keep them coming. Must have more thank 3 books in the series please. Plenty more characters to cover.
Rahel says
I really like the Baylor family as they seem to always stand behind their decisions once they are made. The other thing I love about this series is that Nevada is not afraid to do whatever it takes to protect not her family and the business but still has her bounderies which she is not willing to cross if it isn’t truly necessary. I love that Nevada does not depend on Rogan but he still come along to save her.
zozobraswife says
The thing that I love the most about the Hidden Legacy books is the magic infused alternate history that Ilona Andrews has created for this world. I also love the humor, the snarky dialogue between the male and female characters, the fact that Nevada seems to be a fully developed believable character (and not an idiot like so many female protagonists in urban fantasy these days), and the fact that Rogan’s history damaged him and that the damage makes him more real but also more deadly. The depth of the research that this writing team puts into all the details just appeals to me. You can never guess which odd pantheon or obscure folklore will appear in a book. I like using Google earth to visualize the places in the books. I could continue to gush all day. I have a Wildfire widget on my desktop counting the days until July 25, 2017! Umm, I am completed obsessed with these books and I want to read it now. Please?
Ray says
What I like best is the books always surprise me. Never quite sure what is going to happen next.
Ruby Cardenas says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. From day one there was this chemistry between them. Love this story!!!
Janine Orlando says
Love the possibilities that your world building provide. The “what if….” conversations the different magics initiate in my mind. But even more, I adore Rogan – he’s such a complex character. He invokes altogether different “what if..” scenarios!
Charis says
I love the world building and the relationships (family, friends, and romantic), but my FAVORITE part is the character development. I’m not exactly the same person I was even a year ago, and the fact that your characters, both primary and secondary, also experience growth and change is what has me reading your books over and over again.
Rebecca says
I love the humor! Bad things happen but you are laughing a page later. I also love Nevada. She is awesome.
Amy says
The world building! It’s so easy to imagine myself in the story. Not to mention dialogue, both internal and external that never fails to crack me up and make me look like a laughing maniac in public.
Kat G says
Thank you for doing this giveaway!!! Hope I win!!
My favorite things about Hidden Legacy are the world building, history, and powers. I really can’t wait until more about Catalina and Arabella’s powers are revealed.
Kaprycia says
I love the whole story but I have to admit that I love how Nevada see Rogan as a Dragon all the time. I keep imagining Nevada caught in the grasp a a Chinese red dragon… Okay, Rogan is not Chinese but their dragons are awesome!
Suzanne says
I love the family dynamics!
Fabiola Perez Cruz says
I kove anything by Illona Andrews ..so thanks
Stacey says
I love the different types of magic. They are so varied & interesting.
Akeru says
I love Nevada’ family. I love how they are truly a family. I love how Connor has tried to build a family of his own and has mostly succeeded with his army of personnel that work so hard to keep Major happy. I love the whole story.
Charlotte P says
I really enjoy the development of Rogan’s and Nevada’s relationship.
I enjoy the world you’ve created–if magic existed in modern society, I’m sure the same kind of power struggles would exist in society as they do in your books. Nevada’s criticisms of prime society as a group of ruthless and out for themselves power-mongers is a reflection of the way the wealthy stomp on those they deem lesser than themselves just to get ahead every day.
I love that Nevada’s love for her family is the most important thing in her life; everything else is secondary.
ingrid says
I love how you create a world that is familiar but different in a way that lets your characters shine. I love how down to earth Nevada is and her priorities always begin and end with her family. Always unique and entertaining.
Naomi J says
I love the character development, and the dialog, and the fact that I can still reread them and enjoy the books. I love these books 🙂 I love the magic and how it’s different for everyone.
Lizzy says
There are so many things I love about the series. The world building is unique and fresh with how the power of magic is structured. The interactions between all of the characters is entertaining, and I love how the romance between Nevada and Rogan is progressing.
Roxann says
What I like best about Hidden Legacy is the relationships and how you show that all relationships, whether family or romantic, require some work and give and take and understanding of the other persons personality. A lot of books do not show that. The humor is probably the second thing I like the best. Of course the books are terrific, it is hard to say what I like the best, but the above two are probably just a little bit above everything else.
Davinia says
I love the worldbuilding! The concept of how magic came into this world and changed it. I also love that there are so many side characters and that every one of them is important in the story. The humor is also a very big part of what I like about the series and the build up of the romance angle.
Melissa says
I love the dialogue and the interactions with Nevada’s family.
Jessica Reis says
I haven’t read the Hidden Legacy series. I have read other of your books. And I have others on my ‘to-read’ list so I can check them out this summer. 🙂 Hidden Legacy series is on that list.
Tink says
I kind of envy you in that regard. You can binge read them all at once. Of course, then you’ll be wanting more, but those of us who’ve read the series since the initial release have been wanting more since the first book came out, so now you’ll become one of the Book Devouring Horde.
Jessica Reis says
Yeah! That’s true. I waited 2 years for the last book of a Portuguese author, and she published it this year, with an extra book. Apparently she was planning for that series to have 3 books. Now we all have to wait again until she starts writing something new again.
I’m actually excited for this series, it’s one of the series on the top of my list, but since I’ve been writing non-stop since I finish classes, I haven’t started yet. I have to go buy the books and start doing so reading.
Tink says
Holy crap! How long has this post been up? It’s already up to nearly 300 comments! Stupid work getting in the way of everything.
I love the family interactions in this series. The Kate series is how a family that you build interacts with each other, but Hidden Legacy shows how the family you were born into can be so damn annoying, not give you respect or fear you, and yet totally have your back when someone comes at you. Nevada’s family is weird but loving and I can’t wait to see how Connor reacts to them as Nevada brings him into the family.
Linds says
I love everything about the series. The characters are realistic and grow as the series progress – learning to adapt to whatever is challenging them. The world-building draws you in and makes you think that this society could actually exist somewhere (and makes me wish I could live there). The laugh-out-loud banter between characters makes it a delight to read!
Mara says
Rogan The Dragon
Reeskydo says
I love the world-building in this series.
Meganann says
My favorite parts are the Baylor family dynamics and the awesome romance between Rogan and Nevada. I love the kinsman universe and I am so glad this trilogy shares elements/exists in some way in that universe.
Zoe says
I love Nevada’s family. I love how they look out, look after and love each other ❤
Liz S. says
I love Nevada’s family! They’re so close-knit and hilarious, but also loving and protective. They always have each other’s back. And, of course, another fave aspect of this series is Nevada and Rogan’s insanely hot chemistry! And the cool magic system and world-building! Okay, so I pretty much love everything about the Hidden Legacy series and can’t choose just one thing.
Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
Lynda says
Nevada is the best, and Rogan never tries to make her be less than she is. I love that.
Kaila says
The family dynamic is my favorite part of the series. I love how each member of the Baylor family is a little weird or crazy but they all have a place in the family and they work so well together when under siege.
Artem says
I love that nobody tried to rehabilitate Adam Pierce. Also Inlove that Nevada has a big pro-active family (I am genuinely getting tired of orphans with misterious past Kate excluded)

Dear Authorlords,
I love your characters. They all have so much heart and are very relatable. They are funny, witty, they brave all storms and yet they also deal with mortgages and family death and it leaves them scarred – as it should be. Nevadas dads treatment left them all with emotional baggage. But not just so we have a quick pity story, but rather it makes the characters grow because of it. Even if they still need time with grandma Frida, if they feel down. They are just so well rounded and while I don’t live in a paranormal world, they still are very relatable and no princesses and dragon slayers who have more heroic deeds in their cv, than possible emotions.
On the other hand, I can’t guess how your story will continue. I have a general idea, but you usually surprise me with story twists or new characters. And I love how unpredictable it is.
This could go on and on and on about your world-building, Nevadas horrible attempts on circle work, your excellent humour, the many pets, the humanity you show us in possibly crazy people and evil grandmas and on and on and on… so i will just continue to read your work with awe and hope that you will have the opportunity to tell us many more stories!
Amy R says
I love Connor and Nevada of course but Nevada’s family and some of the other secondary characters complete the story/world for me.
Caterina Trench Vidale says
My favourite part of the series has to be Nevada’s family :’) <3
Jessica says
The witty banter between all the characters is an absolute delight and makes these books fabulous re-reads.
Peggie says
I love Grandma!
Karen Kronenberg says
I love the mutual respect between Nevada and Rogan.
TrishMN says
My favorite thins about this series…The suspense! Trying to guess the plot twists. I work on an ambulance, in our down time my partner and I listen to audio books or I read stories out loud. By far our favorite stories are written by You Two . Love them all!!
Tricia says
I LOVE immersing myself in a story with a strong female lead! Nevada is smart, powerful, and determined. I love her family dynamic too! It really pulls me in to the story. Plus, Rogan is all manly and brooding and protective and HOT. 🙂 I’m so excited to see how the story unfolds in Wildfire with the creation of their House!
Zot says
I know this is marketed as romance, but my favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s family. They aren’t in every scene, and sometimes the younger ones can be annoying, but they are ultimately there for each other and their shenanigans are always fun. It also doesn’t hurt that they all have different kinds of magic. 😛
Parv dadolahi says
I love the action, the dialogue and the chemistry between all the characters. There doesn’t feel like a single background character everyone has a personality and a back story. I love grandma Frida, I can see her and Linus hooking up…. The series feels like a prequel to the kinsmen series. P.s. It’s my birthday on Thursday….just saying!
Kristen Chapman says
I love the depiction of Nevada and her family, and how they embrace everyone’s individual quirks!
Iona van Dijk says
Intricate well rounded characters that vividly interact and really pull me into the world and story.
Aaron Rataczak says
I haven’t read but want to win for my wife since she absolutely loves these books.
barbara says
Just one thing? I guess it would be the fact that it keeps me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last, and beyond.
D says
I love that Caesar is still shrouded in mystery. I also like Location 5371 in the Kindle version. 🙂
Ms. Kim says
I like the vignettes and insights into the side characters. It reminds of “Casablanca.”
Izzy says
One of my favorite characters has to be grandma Frida – who wouldn’t love to have a grandma who can fix tanks? And of course the chemistry between Nevada and Rogan – yowza! The world-building in all of your books are always world-class, and bring up the interesting concept of might equals right. Thanks for the hours of happy reading you give to all of us.
Brittany Skirm says
The slow burn romance! And the snarky comments between characters.
Megan says
My favorite part of Hidden Legacy (and Innkeeper and Kate) is the community building. Nevada is surrounded by a loving family and each member supports her and benefits from her support in return. They are all fully – realized characters, not blanks designed to drive a plot point. In addition to the blood ties, there are also those that she has adopted into her community, like Cornelius. It makes her a much more complex, interesting and relatable hero as well as fleshing out her world to the point where you want to become part of it yourself.
Shawn S says
There is a lot I love about the series. The world design is, again, wonderfully intriguing. There continues to be more and more we learn about the characters each book (what exactly IS Leon’s ability, and how will the two sisters’ powers come out to the public). The research that goes into little details (Chicago fire), and yet is different than other series by you (unlike Kate, no Russian influence). The action scenes, the strong characters, even the interesting supporting characters. LOVE IT and want more than 3 books in this world.
Anne McMullen says
I love the world building. particularly the magic system. It’s like a sideways step from the current world.
Melanie Stamp says
Wow!
I love this series! I can’t wait to read the next one. I suppose my favourite thing in the novels is Nevada and her sass- I love that none of Ilona/ Andrew’s female characters are just flimsy females- their strength of will, determination and badassery ( yep I lay claim to that neologism!) keep me hooked and Nevada is no exception. Nevada isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty- work hard and ask difficult questions of “colourful” people.
Love it!
Anainasia says
Grandma Frida is the best ? but the story as a whole has me in its grip just finished the 3rd re-read.
Lillian says
The whole series is just awesome! The character development is great and you can see it through the books that it’s almost all the characters and not just the main two.
SandyL says
I love both of these books and can’t wait for the next. However, my great-grandmother was named Nevada. Not pronounced like the state but with a long a–Nev-ada. She lived in Oklahoma, I believe, but could possibly have lived in Texas. This is the first time I’ve seen this name used. And I am curious. Is her name pronounced like the state?
Mireille says
I love this series so much. I love Rogan. He had so many layers to him. I love the way he’s always looking out for Nevada and wants the best for her even if it’s not what she wants. I can’t wait to find out more about him and what makes him tick, and what happens next in their relationship.
Chanel says
I haven’t read Hidden Legacy yet even though I have the first two cause the reviews are so good I want to be able to read all 3 straight through without worrying about waiting for another book to come out. ?
Frances Hadfield says
The little character mysteries being slowly solved are my favorite thing. For example, the Evil Grandmother – (who is she?) was one of the twists I was waiting for throughout most of White Hot. Now I’m waiting to find out more about Leon and Arabella’s magic; how Penelope hurt her knee in the Army (and how she lost her PI license). I’m also hoping to learn more about Bern and Leon’s mother and fathers in Wildfire. It’s the little details and mysteries that make a book delicious.
Missy_G says
What don’t I love about this series, the world building, the characters, the snark, the relationships!! I cannot wait for Wildfire!
Ileana says
I love her family dynamic and Rogan’s respect for her family and the way they all have each other’s backs. Such a lovely series.
Lauren says
I love both the family dynamics, and the strength of character Nevada has…
Love all your work, actually!
Tahina says
My favorite thing about the series is the dynamic and interaction of the Baylor family. I love the banter and that they have each others back like that <3
Nicole in WI says
I love Nevada’s family. The interactions and loyalty they have is amazing. Also the world building in this series is awesome and I really hope this isn’t the end of this universe.
Rena Morris says
I’ve only read the first book, but the sexual tension between Nevada and Roland is hot! And Nevada’s grandmother cracks me up!
Amy Ellis says
I love Nevada’s family and their kept quiet power 🙂
Katie Pothier says
I just love having another Ilona Andrews world to discover
Candice says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s family. They are crazy, hilarious and all badasses in their right.
I really love pretty much everything about this series, though.
Elizabeth says
My favorite thing about The Hidden Legacy series is Nevada’s way of talking about her teenage relatives. “His evil teenage heart” may be one of the best phrases ever written.
Lynn Long says
I haven’t started Hidden Legacy … yet. Burn For Me is the next one in my to-read pile. I have been saving reading it until closer to when book 3 (Wildfire) was to be released because once I start a series, I hate to wait!!! (Like I’m having to wait on Magic #10! I love reading about Kate & Curran!)
Jessica says
Dang…. trying to pick my favorite part of the series is hard…. if I had to pick though it would just be Rogan. Period. The End. Just everything about his character and the way we are learning more about him…. the Author Lords always nail the dialogue between a man and woman in a way that’s always believable (in some circumstances I can imagine my husband and I having similar conversations) . Ugh, the writing in general is just spectacular.
Andrea says
I’ve only read the first book in this series so far but have enjoyed it. The dynamic between Nevada and Rogan has been entertaining.
kariell says
I love to see Rogan’s vulnerability. He is a very powerful person, but he still seems to find it hard to believe that Nevada won’t put the world of magic above him on the totem pole.
Ouanza says
Not just read it, but just reread the first 2 in anticipation of WH… What’s not to like? A complex world with magic and powerful families, amazing well developed characters, great story telling with some romance thrown in to boot. I love love love every single thing you guys have written. Always on my recommendation list!
Lee says
So much to love about the whole series! I am an SFF & mystery reader from way back, and added romance to the mix when I grew up. I read for story, and relationships (romantic, platonic, and familial) add depth to story. The dialog is fun, the humor is contagious, and the characters are people I would like to have in my corner when trouble strikes. Plus, one of the other things I like about all things Andrews is your attention to detail when worldbuilding, and the subtle way you convey the information we need to appreciate what’s happening.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!
Laurie Hrynuik says
Ilona Andrews is my son’s go to whenever he needs to get me a gift! Love the books!
Heather says
I absolutely love mad Rohan and the fact that Nevada compares him to a dragon .. I love everything about this series.
LJR says
The worldbuilding. I just love reading about magic (yes, I love Harry Potter books!) Though if I do live in the Hidden Legacy’s world I’d probably turned out to be a magical dud ?
Janelle Wight says
I’m not sure if I can pick one favorite thing, but one of the things that has stuck with me the most when I think about Hidden Legacy and this trilogy is the amazing world building. Love it!
Ken Lederer says
I haven’t read the books but my girlfriend enjoys the series more then anything!
Morgan says
These books were so good that I read through them and then immediately turned around and read them again. That’s my favorite thing about them!
Jay says
The bonds Nevada has with her family.
Danielle Hillendahl says
I love the world building in this series (and all of your others, to be honest!) You create rich characters with humor and depth, and then place them in a world that is three dimensional on it’s own. I’m always do impressed by how you manage to bring an alternate history to life without adding hundreds of pages of back story. You guys are incredible.
Also, I love that your characters don’t just fling themselves at every potential love interest. They make logical choices based on actions, not just looks.
Rebekah says
My favorite thing about the hidden legacy series is the family dynamic! I love how all of the characters interact with each other on a day to day basis.
JoAnne Kowalski says
I really like all the characters but mainly how stubborn Nevada is about her principles.
Sherri says
What i like is the world-building. While in some ways everything revolves around magic, in many others it is completely ordinary with ordinary lives and concerns. It makes it easy to fall into that world. And want to stay there.
Jordin says
I like how I always have to do a double take when I see the cover of White Hot to make sure the guy in the cover is actually wearing pants.
Erin Miller says
The interactions between Nevada and Rogan make my heart feel all squishy and happy. I also adore the world building and magic system. I can’t wait to read Wildfire!
Erin says
I love the family aspect. Rogan doesn’t know what to do with Nevada’s family even *before* their magic talents become evident.
Lissa says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series would have to be the way that all of the relationships develop – both within Nevada’s family and between her and Rogan. I’m really looking forward to seeing how things progress in the next book, as well 🙂
jo says
I love Nevada’s family the dialogue of their interactions always makes me smile 😉
Lindsey says
My favorite thing is Nevada’s relationship with her family. I love most everything about Hidden Legacy but that is what stays with me. Thanks so much for all your books. I really enjoy them.
Jamie says
He cooks!
Jenny says
My favorite part has been the family dynamics. The dialogue is so vivid, entertaining and real. Love the series so far.
Kelly Persons says
I love Nevada’s family and her commitment to them. Each member is this quirky ball of fun I just can’t get enough of!
Nichole V. says
I loved learning about Rogan’s back story. Why he is the way he is and what makes his people so loyal to him. He was an interesting character in the first book and the chemistry between Him and Nevada was off the charts awesome, but this book made me really appreciate his motivations. I also loved the tease about the sister’s talents as well as learning more about the society that Nevada is shortly going to have to learn to function in. In my experience when a first book is great a lot of the time the second can be s bit of s letdown, this is definitely not the case with really any of Ilona Andrews series they are all a captivating read from word one of any of her books.
Bridget Allen-O'Neil says
I love the magic system!! I have always thought mental magic got short shrift in fantasy series (especially mental magic other than hearing thoughts and illusion magic) even though it would be super useful in any modern society. So, as impressive as Rogan is, I absolutely ADORE Nevada (and her sisters!) and BUG! Also the shockers are super cool!
I also think that the authors (consistently but also in this series) do a really great job integrating magic into society, and considering the implications of that, which is why Rafael has a salvage business in the middle of a city and the houses negotiate with the US government. It’s great and is part of why I come back so consistently to these worlds.
Patience Boudreaux says
I love the humor throughout (“Just so we’re all on the same page, everyone sees the panthers?”). I came to read you guys via the Kate Daniels books and the world that Hidden Legacy takes place in is becoming as beloved to me as Atlanta. I truly care about these characters – thank you for sharing your storytelling with us!
Jennifer says
I love the way the know each other, the way Nevada knows what his looks mean and the way he knows her. Like he knew she was a Prime and sent her those books because he knew how much they’d help her and how he waited for her outside of Augustine’s building after she spelled his mind. The way he loves her…. Her family is hilarious! So real!
Eraani Perez says
It’s very hard to choose just one aspect of the Hidden Legacy series that I like. I mean there’s compelling characters, fantastic world building, steamy romance, mystery and the crazy fun family dynamics. But if I have to choose then what I enjoy the most is the great balance of humor naturally woven in throughout. Always gotta enjoy a book that makes you grin, laugh out loud and sputter in disbelief. XD
Lynn Reilly says
I love that Nevada is such a strong character, and that she is coming into her own power! I actually love all your characters, I love how they all have very well thought out backgrounds.
Kazshero says
I love it all!!! But I like how similar Nevada is to Kate but how she is completely different too. Her responses are not predictable.
Sriyukta says
favorite thing about Hidden Legacy: family dynamic bug’s collection of cuss words and Leon’s sense of humor.
Ronda Grogan says
I love the threads of family that play through the books, both with Nevada’s actual family, and with the family that Rogan has created for himself with those he’s rescued. And I love that while Rogan is busy rescuing others, it feels like Nevada is working on rescuing him (whether either of them realize it or not)!
Angela Jackson-Selle says
I enjoy the family relationships, and that neither of the romantic leads knows it all–they take turns being wrong.
Integgy says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the realistic family aspect. Or rather, how Nevada is surrounded by a family who loves and supports her, even though their relationships aren’t sunshine and roses.
Jasmin York says
These books are so great XD. I love the world building you do in all your books, hidden legacy not excepted. I also love how in this series you make family characters and their interactions. It’s believable, and makes the whole clan interesting rather than just the main characters. I want to know more about the magic in general, and what the other family members can do.
Alex says
The world building set through family: everyone brings something important to the table and while some folks have more flashy powers, it’s really the loyalty, wisdom/love for justice, and heart that defines the heroes. Anyone can be a game changer in a scene or solving a mystery. These stories encourage me!
J says
I love the dialog and how Nevada’s family interact with each other.
Tiffany Jones says
I have not read the Hidden Legacy yet but want to so bad! Burn for me is on my list of books to get next.
Christine Cruz says
I love the family relationships. The love is real, and you can feel it. But there is really nothing I don’t like about this series. I am rereading all the Kate Daniels books right now to distract myself until July 25th!!
Saci says
I love the intensity and excitment the stotylines generate while reading. Also the kick ass Nevada also not a bad addition.
Darla says
The family dynamic. It is hilarious….”if only I had some adolescents”…the love, the humor that all comes from this family Baylor. 4 teenagers who aren’t afraid of death and know how to shoot properly, Grandma Frida…..just all the touches are perfect. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the Nevada and Rogan dance, but at the heart, it is the family. Uncle Rogan is going to be awesome. Thank you for the absolute delight that I have had from this series.
Henry says
The favorites of many readers, are a given for me, i.e. world building, character development, character relationships and snarky dialog. I expect that in every Andrew’s book. What I like best, and Ray said it before me, is the surprise on almost every page. What is going to happen around the next corner? And, to be sure, it wasn’t what I expected.
Meaghan Canavan says
The best part for me is the secondary/ tertiary characters; their reactions give more depth to characters and make it very clear that things are not happening in a vacuum. I am, of course, still waiting for the wife’s reaction to Troy going in for a job interview and coming home with a broken leg. The dress shop scene was good but I am fairly sure a certain dog is going have a partner real soon.
(Not quite stalkish mode; did you end up keeping the cat?)
Claire M says
My favourite thing about Hidden Legacy is the devotion Nevada has to her family. She did not set out to be tough, kick ass girl, but she will do anything for her family. I love that and the bond there is between them all, regardless of how much they may fight at times. It’s so real.
Julie Widdifield says
Everything about the books.Every character is well thought out and with every Ilona Andrews book..the flow makes for the best read.
Holly Beck says
The ridiculously quirky one of a kind characters! SO entertaining!
nickole195 says
everything, really everything, I like this series much more than KD (haters will hate), but if I had to pick a favourite portion, it would be the disneylandesque obtaining of the flash drive!!! love me some ferrets!!! I was humming “it’s a small world” that whole scene!!!
Mara says
I have books 1 & 2 and have been waiting for this one to come out so that I can do one big ol’ binge of the whole trilogy! Looking forward to it– haven’t read an Ilona Andrews novel yet that I didn’t love.
Deborah says
I adore the family dynamic and how they always have each others back. And Grandma Baylor is just kick ass.
DawnK says
Read, re-read and re-read again. I love Nevada’s familial interactions and the strength she derives from her family. Rogan will benefit greatly from the relationship she has with her family and I love that.
Pang says
What’s not to love! But if I have to pick one thing, it is how much I can relate to the characters and how real they feel to me. There are characters you read about and love the idea of said character, and then there are characters that you ‘meet’. You get to know them and experience things with them, grow with them, and by the end if the book they’ve essentially become a friend and a part of your life. It happened in their Kate Daniels and Edge series and they did it again with Nevada and Rogan. This to me is one of many favorite things I love about Hidden Legacy.
Leslee says
I love everything about this series! The world building, Mad Rogan, Nevada, her family, just everything!
Jennifer R. says
My favorite aspect of Hidden Legacy is the maturity Nevada shows. A lot of reviewers usually call it character growth, but Nevada didn’t start out as a know-it-all who had to learn to accept help. She already did that, it was learning to trust and have faith in someone outside her family structure that was hard for her. She listens to advice and takes it when it makes sense and that’s why I love her.
Megan Peacock says
While I enjoy the characters what I truly love is the world building. I will be forever disappointed if these are the only 3 books that are written in this world. (Unless, of course, you the authorlords are tired of the world. Then I will just suck it up and accept. But please don’t be done with it yet.)
Brooke says
My favourite thing has always been the characters and how well they are written! Their unique personalities come through in the books and always leave me wanting to know more and more about them and be their friends!
wont says
It’s almost too difficult to name one favorite thing. Of course I love the emerging relationship between Nevada and Rogan, but I also love the new and different types of magic. All the specialties of the different houses. I love that in the two books released so far, the uber bad guys got their due. I love Rogan’s protective nature toward Nevada, even though she doesn’t like it. Ok, I could fill this box with much more, but I’ll cut it off here. Sigh.
Rosie says
hi
if i had choose my favourite thing ( and it’s almost impossible) it has to be the fact that the book has so many strong female characters ranging from Nevada to her sisters, mother and grandmothers (yes even EG – she’s awful but strong) to Leonora. Even strong female villains – and they don’t even feel the need to don an almost not there sexy bond girl dress to do it (well, except for Harper in book 1). It’s nice to see women dealing with their own problems and not expecting to be rescued the whole time. Of course, the plots are fantastic too as is the writing!
Karen says
I love the ever expanding world! At first it’s just a great story but then you start to get a new layer and another layer, then another…it’s like finding presents within a present ?
Ellie Russell says
I love the complexity of the magic, with all the different types and ranks. It seems really well thought out and all the details are impressive. I also really like the atmosphere around Nevada’s family, I always enjoy the camaraderie of tight-knit groups in books. I’m super excited to read the next book in the series.
Vickie zylstra says
Nevada’s quirky family has to be top on the list. I love how we are still learning more about them and I love the non-traditional Grandma!
AggieReader says
I love Nevada’s tenacity. Even when things get serious and she feels overwhelmed, she continues on in the best way she can. She is one to admire.
Donna says
My favorite is any scene with Grandma.
HopeT. says
This series has been so wonderful. I love the fact that the secondary and tertiary characters are comfortably fleshed-out and intriguing in their own right– plus, this does not detract from the main characters. Instead, it makes it all flow better and feel more real. Great job!
Caressa says
I am in love with the character development. The changes in each character and the nascent revelations about the rest of the siblings has kept me fully engaged. I want to know exactly what the little sister can do. I have read both books at least twice. I will probably read them again next week before the latest installment hits my Kindle. Nevada is real.
KTG says
My favorite things about Hidden Legacy are the world building (you guys have mad world-building skills) and Nevada’s family, because family is everything. Can’t wait for Wildfire on my birthday! Christmas in July for real this year!!!
Cheryl G. says
I love the character development and Nevada’s desire to do the right thing for her family (and also others).
Marta says
Although Nevada resists Rogan’s efforts to protect her and hers, she has the flexibility to acknowledge and accept its necessity and we are not wasting plot time with her going on a “strong, independent woman being undermined by a man” tangent (which usually ends with the strong, independent woman needing to be rescued). And she shows every sign that she in turn is going to foil Connor’s effort to sacrifice their happiness for the sake of improving her strategic position in the inter-family political structure.
Elisabeth says
Well, I don’t even know where to start. Firstly, the chemistry between Nevada and Mad and secondly, that it’s not a kind of “insta-love”, but a relationship that develops over the time.
But there’s also the great word building and the great story with all those twists and turns. And of course, your style of writing and your humor. I always love reading your descriptions because they make me feel more invested in the story instead of being pulled out (as with some authors sometimes).
Kirsten says
I love the witty banter and snappy come-backs between characters! … But also Grandma and her request for pictures 🙂
Zann says
My FAVORITE part of Hidden Legacy is the family dynamic. I love that Nevada never feels alone. I love the interplay between them; the way she mentors and is mentored by then; the support and love. Family is what makes Hidden Legacy being exceptional to me.
Yvonne Farmer says
My favorite thing about the series is the family as much as Nevada loves and wants to protext her family they also driver her crazy. Doesn’t all of our families.The sisters trading get over Rogan reminds me of my three sisters.
Amy Miller says
Nevada Baylor’s banter with herself, friends and family.
Trena says
I haven’t read the series yet as I want to read them all in one grouping. I’m sure it will be fantastic as I read ALL of their books/blogs love love love can’t wait!
Christina says
In most books with any sort of romantic flair, the mother is nowhere to be seen. She is dead, she is neglectful, she has disappeared, etc. I love that Nevada’s mother is a part of her life. Her family is so real to me, I love them all.
Tricia P says
I love everything about this series! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I love Nevada & her relationship with her family (her family is pretty awesome!), & I love Nevada & her growing relationship with Rogan (they’re sweet & awesome together!)!
Melanie says
I love the interaction between Rogan and Nevada. SO entertaining!! I want to know more about Nevada’s sisters/cousin’s magic. Can’t wait to read the next installment!!
Carinna says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the familial aspects that are incorporated. I love how family comes first & the dynamics that exist within. It’s got humor and depth in the various relationships that make up Nevada & Rogan’s lives. Love it!
Christine says
I love Nevada’s frankness and the way she handles the world: she knows what it is, and she knows what it takes to get by, and she takes it on like a champ 🙂
Soooooon….
Jenna Frisby says
I love how Nevada’s family is so loving and yet so nuts. I read the series the first time for the main plot, and every other time for The Supporting Cast.
Teresa Hughes says
I like the family dynamic and am dying to know what Arabella’s power is. You may want to know that response to this posting was so overwhelming that your site crashed on my computer. Congratulations.
Marina says
My favorite thing will be the family of both Nevada and Rogan.
The first has a family that love her, support her and help her but have their own stories as well.
Mad Rogan has a reputation, and when you read the books then you realize that he has made himself a family of former military. And you see they care about him.
Those side stories make these books so extraordinary good!
Veronica says
Love the characters and the world building.
Jenny G says
I Love the way the series has a strong female character who is not afraid to admit she has doubts.
I love the support that the family gives to each other and how they handle each hurdle together.
I love the romance that has evolved between Nevarda and Rogan and the fact that he allows her room to breathe. The dynamics of her family probably confused him in the beginning, but I get the feeling that he really wants to be part of the family chaos.
The series catches your attention from the beginning and takes you on a great ride that you don’t want to end.
But lastly I love that the series is in TEXAS we do have bigger and better
Jenny G says
I really hate small keyboards on tablets the name is Nevada not Nevarda
socoMom says
I love reading this series and these authors sooooo muich, that I want the story arc extended. Y’all have made romance reading fun again for me.
Joshua Sanders says
Current favorite is Leon’s voice-over on the video footage.
“I’m death. I’m a ghost. I’ll find you. You can run, you can hide, you can beg, but none of it will help you. I’ll come for you in the darkness like lithe panther with velvet paws and steel claws and…wait, brains, wait, where are you going? Why are you all leaking out of my head? Don’t leave me!”
Shruti Pandey says
Hi, There are so many things that I love about the Hidden Legacy Series, but my favorite thing comes at the end.
I love the mysterious and diverse abilities that the characters possess. I love the sense of humor that accompanies serious interactions and grants the narrative levity. I love the title, and how appropriately it ties to the story.
But, above all, I love Nevada’s character and find her very relatable. Like her, I have many responsibilities, and I sympathize with the struggle she goes through every single time she finds herself at crossroads and has to choose the more difficult, but correct, path. I wish I could be half as kick-ass as she is.
Out of all your awesome characters – and I have read all of your works till date (with the exception of one novella I couldn’t get my hands on *I live in India*) – I relate to Nevada the most. That’s what my favorite in this series. ?
Rebe says
I love the family dynamics and the humor. The teenagers crack me up because they are so annoyingly familiar, lol.
Susan says
I love Nevada’s family and her her relationship with them! They’re all great and it’s a lovely proof that heroines and heroes don’t all have to be “mysterious loners” to be interesting.
Rachelle says
I love everything! But my favorite thing is Nevada’s family. They’re wonderful!
Chris says
In “Burn For Me”, the discussion when Rogan talks about Harper Larvo as a “failed vector” is so evocative.
The idea of her grandfather as a power, but her line a failure, with nothing she do about it, no act she can perform that improves her lot, no skill or learning, nothing, was so starkly cutting. Rarely do you get to see the other side of an inheritance based society spelled out so well.
It made her character extremely well-drawn in a the space of a few paragraphs, and made me wonder how stable Prime society might be with that sort of underside to it.
Bill Page says
We’ve read the books AND listened to the audiobooks. The world building is phenomenal.
But who’s the more “alpha” character, Rogan or Curran?
Kim says
Love the family dynamics!
ReneeG says
One of my favorite parts of the Hidden Legacy series is Nevada – smart, ethical, adaptive, protective. From hiding her family in Burn for Me to realizing that she needs to bring their talents forward in WildFire (the snippets, y’all), she has displayed her commitment to her family all the time. What a fabulous character.
Rogan is going to get such a surprise – you know she doesn’t care about mating for prime children!
Britt says
I love the character development and how much Nevada and Rogan and even Augustine have grown over the first two books.
Elizabeth says
I’m currently on the ump-tieth time through Burn for Me, which will be followed by the ump-teenth time through White Hot.
Each time I go through the story again, i notice something more, or have to remind myself that the world they are in isn’t mine and I can’t actually go home and google any of the characters for greater back story. I love the layers and the resulting speculations. While I ADORE Nevada and Rogan, I would blissfully read about any of the characters in this world, even if it was set in Alaska with the super remote chance of seeing anyone I’ve met before.
Just saying…. maybe please?
Vicky N. says
I love the family aspect: That is one is so close together and they all value each other. Also love the world, I think it’s all very interesting.
Devon Kyle says
I love all of the strong female characters, and I love that Rogan is a man who meets a strong woman and tries to help her be stronger. Love this series!
dm says
Besides the great characters and world building, its the many little things that make the book. “Squirrel!” or “How is being an evil henchman treating you?” or Bugs changes after being employed by Rogan ….
Casey says
My favorite scenes are with her familly, and when Rogan gets brought into those relationships.
Epiphyllum says
I pretty much love everything about HIdden Legacy. The world-building, the character-building, and everything that glues them together.
Madison B says
Well I love the whole series, so I’ll just say my favorite scene (without giving thing away!) which is the basement/underground scene in White Hot. Actually, I also really like the basement/cellar scene in Burn for Me, but the one in White Hot I reread several times.
Karen says
I was torn between two answers:
1. The uniqueness of the Baylor family within an already-unique and fascinating world — both in their magic and their quirks.
2. Grandma Baylor.
Daysha says
I love her family values !
Cynthia Lee says
I love Nevada. She’s a great character, blah, blah, blah. Forget the fancy schmancy language. She’s real. Like, could have been the girl in my head from my teens and twenties before sheets hit fan, type of real. She’s tough, loves her family – adore them, adore their weaknesses, quirks, strengths, teamwork, and love for each other – and she’s got realistic traits good, less good, and other. Funny thing, her life is a bit of a fantasy; but while she shows appreciation for the wonderful things in her life I haven’t yet seen her truly understand how lucky she is, at least not in the first two books. Would I were that lucky. Thanks, you two (and editors, et al). Your books give me that priceless break from life, and are damn good, and fun, stories to boot. (hug)
Romy says
Two words….. Sergeant Teddy ?
Jen says
Aside from the fact that I can keep re-reading this series and still love it, my favorite thing is that I got my husband to use the phrase “picture or it didn’t happen.”
Julia Sullivan says
I love how complex the characters are. It makes them more “alive”. Love Nevada’s and Rogan’s romance. Rogan is hot, hot, hot! Love how loyal Nevada is to her family and to Rogan.
Lisa says
Character development and timing! You have a way of making these people so relatable even with their talents. You also deliver what we want with the perfect amount of waiting for it as well as stuff we never see coming. We are not worthy Authorlords but we are grateful!
Tierra says
I have two favorite things about the world and they’re pretty equal. One is the world. I love the dynamics between the houses and how the magic works and the classes like Primes and stuff. It just makes me enjoy the world and it’s so easy to get immersed in it. It’s just so fun to read about how the houses work and how this new world is.
The second is of course Rogan. I’m sorry but badass alpha males get me.
Lela says
I love the way the characters have grown, they have real frustrations about life the worries that many of us have day to day with some kick ass magic and romance thrown in.
Lindsay says
First and foremost, Nevada is such a clearly defined character. She is sassy and strong and keeps her eye on the prize. You write such compelling female characters, even the secondary once.
I’m a sucker for the slow-burn romance and this series does it for me. 🙂
Sara says
I love how deftly you write the building of the romance between Rogan and Nevada.
Roxanne says
I really like the balance of action and romance!
Adam says
Rogan and Grandma. Please let there be a scene where these two have a full conversation.
Joan Abbott says
I am a sucker for a well developed alpha-hole. Rogan has a convincing reason for being the way he is and still it is believable that extremely grounded Nevada falls for him. Watching his baffled attempts to understand her worldview is amazing and entertaining.
Lynn says
I love the relationship dynamics: family, friendship and romantic.
DawnD says
I like the magic. It’s similar to types of magic you run into in other types of world-building, but at the same time, utterly unique. I like how the society has bifurcated to operate with a normal society operating in parallel with the magical society; two systems of government, two types of power.
Chiara (A.K.A. Chandramas) says
The dragon thing make me crack everytime….
I love the humor in the books, it’s like I can see real people in the books, ok there is magic, and plot not “real” but the characters sound so true to me. Am I confusing? sorry. But that’s my favorite thing. They all speak and act like real persons, not characters. They are the kind of people I’d love to interact in real life.
Michelle K. says
I love the dialogue! One of the reasons I repeatedly reread all the books by Ilona Andrews is the delightful banter between characters.
Natasha McNeely says
I love the wide variety of characters; it makes for great interactions, and a great story!
Sica Michael says
I love your strong Female character. Nevada kicks ads and is funny as hell.
Arcanist Lupus says
I love how the Baylor are going to badly confuse House society with their unusual and ridiculously powerful magic and strong family values.
Alldrgnfly says
The different types of magical families and how they relate to each other.
Theresa Lee says
I love the characters, especially the family dynamics of the Baylors and the developing relationship of Mad Rogan and Nevada. This is an awesome series
Tina Black says
One of my favorite bits is when Rogan changes into ordinary clothes, and when Nevada thinks he is a dragon going down to spy on the delicious villagers, he clicks his teeth.
I just laughed!
It is the first place he starts showing a lot of response to Nevada in an everyday way.
JTReader says
Everything! Okay, if I had to pick one, probably the characters. Nevada and Rogan and Nevada’s family.
Carolyn Lee says
The series is a wonderful read – a I cannot book the book down…let me just finish this chapter….. The Baylor family will make a terrific House! I really enjoy the detail of the characters and the world they live in.
Lauren in CA says
My favorite thing is Nevada’s family. I love how they watch out for each other, and support their strengths and weaknesses.
Bex says
I love the importance of Nevada’s family to her and how important they are in the story. The dedication to protecting her family whilst at the same time trusting them to use their own skills and thrive is something you don’t usually see in paranormal romance books.
Teragram says
Best thing – Rogan. Any scene with him in it.
Julie M says
I love the world building and I love Nevada. I pretty much love everything about the series.
Good luck to all and congratulations to the winner!
Rebecca says
My favorite thing is the interaction between Nevada and her family (and the beginnings of interactions between Rogan and Nevada’s family). I think Rogan is going to be shocked when they start to treat him as one of their own. Grandma Frieda is my very favorite!
sarafina says
Nevada – I love her strength and courage in the face of all the situations being thrown at her.
Sam Beilhart says
I love absolutely everything about this series. The characters, their problems, the family dynamic, the low simmering and then explosive love life? Gahhh! Love it. The dialogue in this book and the interaction of the characters is soooooo realistic! It sucks me in every time! Freaking love everything the duo Ilona Andrews have written and I own dual copies of hardback and ebooks because I just need to have instant access whenever I feel like rereading – which I reread several times a year!
Lisa F says
My favorite thing about the series (so far) is Nevada’s backstory and how she and Rogan accept each other for who they are.
Alex R. says
I enjoyed the Hidden Legacy series a lot more than I initially expected, since I prefer the fantasy/sci-fi genre to romance. BUT!!! I’m hooked. I liked the new world of magic and the primes. I liked the new characters. As an aside, one of the best things about Ilona and Gordon’s writing is that the characters are unique. You don’t look at the Kate Daniels supporting cast and say, oh yeah, so and so is just like Spider from the Edge series.
Anyhow, my favorite thing about these books is the main character. Nevada is smart, strong, loves her family and has cool super powers. What’s not to like? And, sure. Rogan is fun too.
Diana says
I love the world building, particularly the way the hidden legacy world is in someways our own and in others radically changed by the presence of magic. I thought the scene with school assignment looking at the influence of magic on history was a fantastic touch.
Karla Miller says
Favorite is difficult, but the contrast of Nevada’s ethics and the overall ethics lacking in the world of the Primes underscores a discrepancy I wish more people would factor into their real world decision making. Also, Rogan’s independent, tough-minded standards, flouting convention and standing as a defender of people who are wronged, not explaining or defending, just getting it done-that works for me. Combined, Nevada and Rogan will be an incredible force for the good guys.
MaryH says
I love everything, especially Nevada and her family’s dynamic.
Katie F says
I love the complex family relationship of the Baylors which imo adds so much richness to the series.
The bride pictures epitomize the kind of love you but you’re driving me bonkers interaction that makes the character building so unique.
Chelsea says
I love Nevada’s love for her family and how fiercely protective she is. I also love that she’s a heroine that knows her limitations, mentally anyway, when it comes to doing what she is comfortable with. Her morality and realistic attitude is one of her best qualities and makes her an absolute favorite character for me.
Paras C. says
I love that it is not boring.. a short order but very very difficult to do, especially in a series. I love that even in the mundane there are some touching, sweet or even provacative moments in the books
Sleepy says
Ahh so exciting!! Picking a favorite is hard… I guess what i love so much is the real ness of the characters. Nevada + family just seem like real people just with some extra cool powers.
Sleepy says
I changed my mind… Honestly its just the fact that Nevada doesnt take any crap. Too often romance and genres like paranormal romance have heroines that are pushovers and melt at the sight of a hot guy. Why are they in love? Because they saw the guy and in 1 second omg-this-is-the-hottest-guy-I’ve-ever-seen-im-helpless. Its really annoying and has ruined books for me. Romances should be built on actually have two characters connect on a personality level, and Hidden Legacy (and your books in general) deliver on that 🙂
Cindy says
I love the interactions between all the main characters. The sisters are fun, Grandma is awesome, Rogan is Rogan… Love the series. The Authorlords spoil us with excellent writing.
Zora says
If I have to choose only 1 thing: dialogues:-)
Christi Hubbard says
I like the fact that the family supports each other. Nevada is honest and trustworthy. Rogan is very misunderstood. Nevada and Rogan are mates in my opinion. Nevada is a woman after my own heart. She has values and stands by them just like Rogan.
Beth says
As always, strong female leads, paired with strong men! Equality is awesome!
Julye Evans says
Asking me what my favorite thing about the book is brings me a great quandary. There are SO many things I like. Picking out only one is very challenging. So, I’ll have to give you several. The world – I really enjoy how you built it with the magic houses. I love the family dynamics with the Baylors. The slow build between Rogan and Nevada. How Rogan grew so much from royal ass to decent human being. How Rogan saves and values his people. Nevada’s ability and her drive to learn how to use it. The pied piper, wow…. I could go on and on. I’ve re-read the first two in anticipation of the third, and am greatly looking forward to July 25.
Evelyne says
What’s not to like. The characters are charming and interesting. Can not wait for the next book.
Simone says
Wow – this hasn’t been up too long and already 400+ comments
A favorite thing – narrow it to one? Impossible!
Badass male Rogan meeting his equal in Nevada. I told him No and the world didn’t stop spinning.
Secondary characters are all fab and I always want to know more about them.
The ferret burglary scene was very funny
How family is everything
Marija says
Hard to make a choice, but first picks would be the world building and Nevada’s family.
kat w says
I love Nevada’s family. They are all unique and support each other. I love the world building. I love everything but enjoy the family. Doesn’t help that you drop hints regarding her siblings and cousins magic….
Denisetwin says
My favorite part of Hidden Legacy is the magic system and the fact that Nevada is not an all powerful magic user. She gets hurt, she can’t just solve all her problems by throwing magic at it.
Stephanie says
Everything? I love the way Rogan and Nevada play off each other and interact. Their whole dynamic is perfect.
Kristen G says
I adore how they break into Baranovsky’s house with the ferrets! Likewise, Rogan’s reaction to the success of the venture. *grin*
Helen Wawrejko says
Badass heroine, badass Rogan, badass storyline.
Veronika says
I like grandma Frida. She is always funny.
Heather says
I really enjoy how Nevada seems to instinctively know what the next thing to happen will be, like almost premonition but then will face-plant regarding her feelings about Rogan, like a real live girl who just likes a boy. She’s smart, funny and tough but has a down to earth quality and a vulnerability that makes me like her immensely. Thank you for the hours of reading and re-reading, this is one of my favorite series!
Etta says
I love that Baylor’s are united, loving family. They will support each other no matter what. Also, I like Augustine, Catalina and Grandma Baylor, just because 😀
Dana says
I’m a romance reader so a favorite would be the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. But I also love the relationships within Nevada’s family.
Jasmine Stairs says
I love a lot of things, but the family dynamics (especially with teenagers) is my favourite.
Tricia B says
Ahhh there’s so much I love about this series! Honestly the whole magical world is my favorite thing. The whole magic hierarchy is so interesting. Oh, and Nevada’s whole family dynamic is fantastic!
Maggie Johnston says
One of the things I like about this series is the neat, comfortable, lived-in dynamic among all of members of Nevada’s family. Another is the moment when Nevada reaches Rogan in the void as Houston is about to be fully destroyed – love that moment.
Roswita says
My favourite thing is that you two wrote it 🙂
shirley greenwald says
I love her bedroom. The small and secluded space
Jennifer Smith says
I love the family Dynamics of the Baylor’s and I seriously enjoy the world building.
KC Whimsy says
My favorite is Nevada’s family. Just love the characters. I’d love to see more of Grandma Frida!
Randy says
The Ilona Andrews worlds are second to none. And to make them even better, they have the best narrator in the world. Not much else to say than what’s already been said.
Elizabeth C says
How badass Rogan is and the chemistry between him and Nevada. ??
Alisa r says
?
???????????
Betsy says
I haven’t read this trilogy but I do love your Kate Daniels series and the Innkeeper chronicles.
t.j. says
oh god, i have to pick one thing? there’s so much to choose from…ok, well, i guess the first thing that comes to mind is leons magic. yes nevadas relationship struggles are great, the action is fun and suspenseful, the world building is awesome and everything, but that little scene where bug is showing nevada he security footage was so like…i dunno, subtle and perfect. i really loved it.
Jael says
My favorite thing… I love the relationship between Nevada and her family. The prank with the wedding dresses that had N+R=LURVE in it had me absolutely dying. Also, I like the world building with the magic. Finally, I really enjoy Rogan as a character.
Lillian Jolly says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the world you’ve built to tell the story in. Very much like reality, but different in significant ways. When I’m reading about the characters’ adventures, I think, “Wow. This would be a great place to visit and study. Maybe not live there, but a research trip, sure!”
Shannon says
I love the wit and wisdom of Nevada and her family. I want to be Grandma Frida when I grow up!
Heather says
Definitely the combination of sarcasm, humor, and real affection among Nevada, Rogan, and her entire family!
Carrie F says
Loving the series and just finished rereading the first two books.
Iris says
I read a lot of fantasy and paranormal fiction and the books by the Ilona Andrews team are easily my favorites. For this series in particular, I love the way Nevada is written. It’s rare to see such a strong, independent female protagonist that also has a close relationship with her family.
Rivers says
Hard to pick just one thing. I love the way Nevada and Rogan’s relationship has developed – any scene between them.
Lorraine G says
My favorite is Mad Rogan.
Bridget says
I love your writing style which then, of course, includes Burn for Me. I haven’t read White Hot yet. You really put your heart into your writing and it shows.
Louise says
The universe is fascinating – live the world building!
Anne says
I love Nevada’s grandmother. She says some great things and is not your average grandmother.
Teena says
The possibility that you could be born with magic.
Colleen Champagne says
I think my favorite thing is seeing the relationship between Rogan and Nevada grow.
Ellen Rodriguez says
I love everything about it. But i think it Nevada, guts that i love the most (and Rogan’s ads… its all my head but man they as AWESOME)
Booklover says
My favorite about Hidden Legacy is that it makes sense. You built a world around a fun fact (aka the Osiris Serum) and everything develops logically from there. You do explain everything and you write relateable characters. Heck, I’ve come to like Mad Rogan whom I thought to be a jackass after reading Burn for me. And Nevada is cool, doesn’t act dumb and I never want to smack her for behaving like a lovestruck ninny*. She knows her worth and sticks to herself and her… I’d call it moral code. The scene where he kidnaps her – other authors would have turned it into a “hot dominant alpha guy and kickass girl turned sex kitten thing have to obey their instincts and make out” scene. You didn’t and wrote it better. I love your strong female characters and your awesome male protagonists. After White Hot even Mad Rogan. I can’ t wait to see how it turns out. If I don’t win, I just want to thank you for making a difference in UF.
—————-
* Happens to me everytime I read Helen Harper or Lilith Saintcrow. Serves me right for buying bundles because the plot sounds amazing and I fell into a rabbit hole.
J. Lee Conaway says
Only one thing? Wow! There’s so much more to your books than just one likable thing. Each series is a whole new world to explore. Okay, lemme think…how about Grandmother and her attack tanks? Hmmm…dunno much about mom…she’s not really there enough. The suspense, the drama, the romance? Yeah, those get me, too. The main problem with your books? They pull me in too fast, and before I know it…it’s over. I’ve read it from cover to cover in the (metaphorically speaking) blink of an eye. And, they always leave me wanting more!…more!…more! And with those few snippets to whet my appetite, I can hardly wait for Wildfire to be out.
SusanK says
Two words – ferret badgers!!!! = ) Can’t wait to read Wildfire! Thanks!
Shal says
My favorite thing about the series is that each character has a unique quirk. All of these quirks and abilities fit together and mesh with the characters but they’re all different and complex. It makes the fantasy element even more believable and the characters very relatable.
Sonia martinez says
Grandma Freda no bullshit attitude. Nevada trying to keep family first. Not falling so easily into Rogans arms. Staying try to herself. The series overall is fantabulous.
Marta says
Soooooo,
The thing I Love the most IS that everything happens for a reason..there isn’t an action without a motive… in other books we get a lot of unnecessary information but here everything is written with the purpose of giving details, more character information (which I love) or to develop more the story…
Also, I love everyone and Rogan IS so HOT!!!
Please I need this book as soon as possible or I’ll dieeee!!! ????
Amarins says
Wow I would love a copy! I’m a fan from the Netherlands and after I devoured your Kate Daniels series I came across Hidden Legacy and it was just as great! Loved the world you build and all the details you describe and especially Nevada’s familly. There so dynamic and remind me a lot of growing up in a large family myself.
Shruti Pandey says
Hi,
I love the world-building, the humorous interactions that follow the serious scenes and grant some levity whenever needed. I love the narrative, the diverse powers, characters and romance.
I love the title of the series, and how it ties to the story at different levels.
But my most favorite is the fact that I can relate to Nevada as I have never been able to with any other character I have read till date.
Please don’t get me wrong, I have read and re-read all of your works till date -(with the exception of a short story, I haven’t been able to get my hands on it yet)- and I love all your characters and stories and connect with all of them.
However, Nevada’s responsibilities, how they affect her decisions, how they weigh on her, how she struggles to do the right thing and how she more than survives, I can sympathize with it.
In all of the top favorites stories of mine, the main characters often live alone/don’t have family/move away etc. In others, it’s not discussed in as much detail. (The Edge series had this element too, to some level. Hidden Legacy takes it a step further.) ?
Nevada loves her family and accepts them, sacrifices for them and they accept and support her. I relate to her the most and wish I could be half as kick-ass as she is. ?
Anne in Virginia says
I want to sing “These are a few of my favorite things…” but the song would have too many verses when I talk about the Hidden Legacy series. Characters, dialogue, plot and on and on and on. A compulsive reread.
Anne in Virginia
Sara R says
Ferrets!
Kerri says
The snark and violence. I love action-packed books with women who kick ass and deliver snark in equal measure.
Laurie Pritzl says
I love the world building and the humor. There are so many times I laughed out loud when listening to the audio!
Amber Turner says
I love the comedy that is inserted into the story, even when there is a tense moment or some action going on. I also really like how quickly the story can turn and how fast it seems to move.
Quail Hill says
I love this series because the characters are really relatable and their stories make sense. I hope to see more stories set in this universe.
Carly Cogburn says
I haven’t read this series yet!
Quele says
This is an impossible request, but maybe the fact that Nevada has no regrets about building her skills–no complaints that maybe she’s changing who she is. In fact, she compared it to stretching a muscle. I also love that Rogan is helping her, even though he thinks it’ll be his loss in the end.
Kayla says
Can everything be it? Honestly I love all your books. I love how each heroine is different but they always have… backbones? You know? They always are content and happy with themselves first. So many books have a woman find a man to find happiness, it’s refreshing to have strong confident women who just happen to fall in love!
tuch says
Grandma Frida is the best. Wisdom with a little irony.
Caroljay says
Wow…favorite thing about Hidden Legacy…probably the characters. The characters are quirky, funny, cool, and they have loads of layers (even the minor ones). Of course, the series also features tightly-pace plots, loads of adventure, and awesome and complex world building. However, I always come back to how much fun I have reading these characters and their stories.
Liz F says
I love how the Baylor clan is kinda like the Borg. They bring people in and they become assimilated. Rogan, Cornelius, Matilda have all in a way found a place within the family.
Jen Mintern says
Favorite thing about the books – the family connections and how everyone interacts with one another. Favorite moment so far has to be the ferret heist. Favorite quote “Small talk with the dragon. How are you? Eaten any adventurers lately? Sure, just had one this morning. Look, I still got his femur stuck in my teeth, Is that upsetting to you?” Hehe I love the snarky humor.
Rachel W says
I love Nevada so much! Her family is hilarious and she’s such a badass. Rogan is pretty ok too (wink)! Thanks for the chance!
Patricia Schlorke says
One thing?! Everything and everyone in the series. If I have to narrow it down? Rogan. Why? He is very complex. One moment he’s the badass protector who gets his way with everything and everyone except Nevada, Nevada’s mom, and Grandma Frida; the next moment he takes the time to “rescue” someone who’s ex-military to incorporate him or her into his private army. Rogan doesn’t let his guard down with anyone but Nevada. When that happens sparks fly! Oh yeah, he’s one hot magic user. 😀
Carly says
My favourite is the humor, I’m always randomly bursting into laughter and startling my cat. Most of these are centered around Grandma Frida so she would probably also be a favourite.
Lateefa Dawkins says
I love the way Rogan sees everything strategically and makes plans on how to accomplish his goal. While Nevada is like a fresh breath of air to him while holding her own compass of right and wrong. Characters are interesting and hilarious.
Missy says
Everything! But most especially that even though Nevada is powerful, she’s not “all-powerful” and she’s up against people who could crush her, but she doesn’t give up. She figures out a way to make it work because it’s the right thing.
Sue says
I really love the world building of the book. It’s very believable and relatable.
Laura Cunningham says
What I love about this series is Nevada’s dedication to and protection of her family. She is truly inspiring and I care about her deeply. I hope this story will continue past three books as I feel there is so much more to learn about all these great characters and this wonderful world of magic.
Paola says
I just love that Nevada is such a strong and straightforward female character. No regrets. Taking risks and not afraid of making a fool of herself. Honest to herself and others always!
ash says
OMG, I love so much I can’t choose! I think I like that Nevada can rip the truth out of someone if she wants to. I *might* have some trust issues and I’d freaking LOVE to be able to tell when someone is lying, and force the truth from them if I had to.
Akanksha says
Nevada’s family!! I love the bonds between them and the portrayal of strong female characters despite their age. They are role models to their children and siblings regardless of gender.
Amber says
Omg. Best part…. the fact that Nevada has her own secrets and is capable on her own. Everyone assumes she is working for some party or paired with someone, but she has her own ideas and agenda.
Sure Thing says
I read the first book and loved the family interaction scenes. It seems silly but it shows exactly what Nevada protects by keeping her powers secret. It’s not just about herself.
Rachel Andrew says
Rogan is by far my favourite thing about this series! He is sexy as all get out. Good luck everyone!
Nimsa says
I love the family dynamics. They bicker and tease each other, but when it matters they are there for each other.
Dottie says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series – i gotta say its the strong family theme throughout the books!!! I love Nevada Baylor and her loyalty and protectiveness to her family – makes me root for her all the time! I’m a huge fan of Bern and Leon, Grandma Frida, Catalina and Arabella – how they are all such a strong family unit. Penelope too. Go House Baylor!! Fingers crossed I win this – I cannot Wait for Wildfire to come out!!!!
Kimberly Houle says
I love the way the characters seem like normal people even with magic. The story is engrossing and holds ones attention and makes you want to read in one sitting.
Tins says
What I love most? The Baylors. They are all a little crazy but they love each other and would do anything for each other. That’s how a family should be.
Debi Murray says
OMG, y’all know my favorite thing is Connor Rogan! He is my new favorite book boyfriend. (Don’t tell Jeaniene!)
Mary Raedel says
If I had to choose only one thing, it would be how different this series seems to be from a lot of the other books in this genre. I remember when I first read Burn For Me, I was in a bit of a new book slump, & Burn For Me was like a breath of fresh air.
Alicia says
I love Nevada’s family and how close they are to each other. Especially her grandma, she always makes me laugh.
Amy K says
I like the way family is depicted in the HL series.
Lisa says
Love the revelations about Nevada’s family – her sister’s powers and introduction of the 2nd grandmother. Can’t wait to find out more!
Jillian berndt says
Oh I just love it! Right now I am most loving that Nevada will be forming House Baylor and I can’t wait to hear more about the powers belonging to her family members.
Rebecca Lysohir says
I really like the great world-building. It’s believable and the characters that you’ve created have just the right blend of strengths and vulnerabilities. I like the strong and independent heroine that is Nevada. Love all your series!
Ruby says
I love that Mad Rogin totally underestimated Nevada when he met her and despite that, now he’s proud of her and what she can do. Most men would have freaked out and run away.
Tiffany says
The best part of the series is the interactions between Nevada and her family members.
Victoria says
So, so many things to love about these books! Nevada and Rogan’s relationship, the strong female characters, the snark, the mystery of the sisters’ powers, the well developed 2ndary characters…. I could go on and on!
Valerie says
I love this series. It has great action, with an interesting story arc to hold it together. The characters are funny, sometimes sarcastic, and have great relationships. And of course, Rogan and Nevada – their love/hate relatiionship keeps getting better and better!
More please!!!
Elva Björk says
I love the Baylor clan and their loyalty to each other, and the snarky conversations 🙂 I also love that Nevada really is a strong female who will stand up for herself and for others – even against scary dragons 😉
Monica Campos says
Your characters are amazing but here, besides the obvious story line I must admit that I love Grandma Frida. I love her obsession with photos of famous men and social media, her fantastic sense of humor and the fact that she can see what no one else has seen yet. I hope one day to read all those wonderful secrets she´s been hiding.
Candace M says
I love the quirky, crazy, loving, crazy, always-got-your-back, crazy, Baylor family. 🙂
Alexis V says
I love how detailed and smart Nevada is!
ginger says
Rogan is my favorite, but I love how Nevada stands up to him and everyone freaks out when she does. that’s awesome..
Pika says
Thanks for this amazing giveaway ! English is not my motherlanguage so I hope you’ll understand this comment ^^
It’s hard to choose what I like the most in the Hidden Legacy series ^^’ I guess I like the worldbuilding and the background of the story the most : different types of magics, the Houses, different laws, even Leon’s homework… It felt “real” as if it truely exists in an alternative universe. The way you describe, the lack of illogical things (at least, I didn’t notice any holes), the details… it makes Hidden Legacy’s world feel “real” so I can actually read and.. escape to that universe (hope it makes any sense…).
I also like the action scenes -as previously said in another comment-, the way it is written : dynamic, like you’re seeing it in front of you.
I also love Nevada’s family, their bond, the way they interact and work. And Rogan.
To put it in a nutshell : the world and its characters *cough -everything- cough*
Cynthia Olsen says
My favorite thing is the interaction between Rogan and Nevada. My next favorite thing is Nevada’s family interactions. She loves them and wants to protect them. She supports them and they support her.
Lauren says
I really enjoyed the first book! It was refreshing having a main character call the male lead out on his overbearing, sociopathic tendencies. Since Twilight became so popular, it’s become a staple for creepy shit to be romantic.
Paula M. says
It’s difficult to just pick one good thing. It’s hilarious that there’s a “Herald” for Prime fanfiction. And that Nevada reads it.
Christine says
Only to win an early copy would I reveal this – I completely related to Nevada not noticing she was a prime. I had an IQ test when I entered a new school in 5th grade. My parents chose not to share. When I found the report in my 30s my reaction was – “Why didn’t you tell me I was smart. I might have done something important with my life.” (I did go to MIT & I did manage to do a couple of things I was proud of so I’m not really sure what I was thinking with my reaction either . . .)
Kelsey says
I love how each character truly comes alive as you read and the amazing and magical world that the authors created.
Julia says
Hidden Legacy has so many things I love. Especially how Rogan and Nevada’s chemistry is explosive from the beginning. When these two people are together it’s magic. Through kidnappings, fights, arguments, lectures etc. You can’t ignore how good these two are together. Just love it! Thanks for giving us an opportunity to win a Wildfire book!
Jennifer says
I love so much about his series. My favorite part is how it’s a world we recognize even though it is so different from our own. And I love Nevada and how she’s stretching her limitations and may agonize about asking for help, but will do whatever she needs to do to protect her family.
Deb says
Every time I re-read them I discover another detail that suddenly makes sense
Coloteach Carrie says
I love the Legacy series for so many reasons. The whole world that is created with dueling magical families is just awesome with the sprinkles of historical elements. I actually find myself looking up stuff that you mention in the storyline to learn more.
Cindy Torn says
I love the family ties, the wit within the writing and the scenes with Nevada and Rogan. I’m intrigued by the sisters and can’t wait to see the reactions of the Houses to the newly formed House. Just.So.Excited. Beyond excited…
Dani says
My favorite thing is Nevada’s loyalty.
Caitlin says
I love the banter between Nevada and Rogan. It’s funny, substantive, and evolves as their relationship grows. Also (non evil) Grandma is fantastic.
Yvonne A. says
I like the family and how different the magic is by different persons
Kaeli Unruh says
I love this series because Nevada’s family is awesome!!! They’re a great team and Grandma Frida is so freaking amazing!!!!
Angela M says
I love the family dynamic! The interactions between siblings and cousins is hilarious!
Allison leung says
So much to love! I would have to say the characters and how rich they are and not just one dimensional. I love Nevada’s integrity and how she is genuinely frightened but still does the right thing.
Heather S says
I love the back anf forth between Nevada and Rogan. The whole Baylor family dynamic is hilarious.
Enid Appiah says
I love this series because of the character development. We get to read about the kids growing up and developing their magic. Rogan and Nevada are complex characters which only makes them even more relatable.
MishaH says
I love the magic background. How it all makes sense. The totally scientific explanation of everything. And of course, I love Rogan. 😀
Marielle Quinton says
I love the world. Don’t get me wrong, the characters are also awesome, but I really love the world you built.
Mackenzee says
Buddy reading with my Nana – we love how awesome Grandma Frida is. ?
Terri N says
Something the I love about Hidden Legacy is the believably of Nevada’s family. They are very real people to me, and I am really invested in them personally. Very few authors write characters so well. Also, to see a well functioning family with more than one generation is rare in fantasy and fiction. The hero/ heroine is almost always alone and an orphan, and from a very young age at that. So it it very refreshing to see a hero’s family, still touched by loss, sure, but mostly healthy and happy.
P.S. I know that if there is a way to create a hero/heroine without a tragic backstory, initially at the very least, you’ll make it happen.
Mori says
I love this saga! I love the different type of magic!
Claudia says
The characters are alive, not cardboard figures. and I love Nevadas family and friends- and maybe to read their very own Stories one day.
Barbara says
I love the developing relationships between the characters and the quirky humour. Coupled with your voice as authors, you could put similar ccharacter development and humour into any setting you chose and it would work for me!
Mori Priscilla says
love this saga! I love the different type of magic
Oshi says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the possibilities of the world and characters. Everyone has something about them that makes them spark.
Amanda M. says
I love the family dynamic between Nevada and her troublesome sisters. Heck I love them all!!
HM says
I love the family dynamics. On the one hand , all for one. On the other, sibling interaction, mother having to accept that her chicks are becoming adults (if not, already there,) children’s concern for their elders. Everything!
Teia says
There is so much to love about the book! The characters are great the book is fast paced. I love the dialogue between Nevada and Rogan. The grandma is probably my favorite character and grandma’s always know best!
cocoakitten says
Nevada & her family. I love (and have fun reading about) each of them for their quirks and their love for each other. We didn’t get to see the family when Nevada’s dad was still alive, but I’m sure I would’ve enjoyed their interaction then, too.
Thuy An says
i can see the improvement in writing in this serie. Its obvious that llona and Gordon have been doing this for some time now.
I also really love how real the MCH feel. Like i can imagine Nevada walking down the street next to me.Maybe Rogan with less abs and less everything. 😀 Thats what i really appreciate.That i can relate to the characters eventho this is a paranormal serie. You dont get much of “realness” in this genre.
Melanie Ulrich says
I love the powers — their range and depth, the levels and the way they have influenced the society and politics of the world. I adore the Baylor family. They actually INTERACT with each other, not just staged into family-esque locations and situations to add interest and hostages to the main characters’ situations.
Debbie says
I enjoy the banter between Nevada and rogan, the solidarity of the baylors. “Pancakes” rofl 🙂
Kim says
I love the characters in the Hidden Legacy series.
Laura Beth King says
I love the complexity of the characters and their relationships. I love the witty, charming humor. And, I love finding out the magic from each member of Navada’s family. Everything seems to slowly evolve, and there is always more to find out. It makes my heart sing.
Kayla D says
Love the world building and their powers. So good!
Pat Crouch says
I love the extended family. It’s bunped up with magic, so cool there, but family is a magic thing itself. So glad to see somebody grabbing this truth and running with it.
Rachel says
Nevada’s kick butt family is probably my favorite part of the series 🙂 Also, all the different kinds of magic within the family!
Mira says
I love how the different types of characters often collude with their magic. And definitely the family dynamic. I have 2 younger sisters and can relate sometimes ?
Di says
I love love love the worldbuilding. Y’all have such great imaginations!
Anne says
I love Nevada’s family especially Grandma Frida!
Ashleigh says
I love the world! You guys constantly deliver excellent universes in your books.
Tira says
What I really enjoy about Hidden Legacy is the world building. I love reading urban fantasy and dystopian stories with a bit of magic in them.
Emma Banks-Brown says
I love connor and his never ending supply of range rovers! I also love how the family is always supportive of Nevada and the desicions she has to make. Lastly off course I love Grandma freda she totally bad ass!! What other grandma can fix up a tank or two! I can’t wait to see what the next book has in store!!
Victoria says
I love the bantor between Nevada and Rogan.
Tanya says
My favourite is Nevada’s unshakeable moral compass.
Lindsay Lucas says
I love how strong Nevada is and the relationship she has with her family. She did not allow Rogan to push her to meet him where he was at, but forced him to work for it and to recognize who she is a person. The environment you created is incredible, where I can vividly imagine each scene in my head, I may even had in a eye roll here or there. There is romance in the book but it does not overwhelm everything else taking place, it is natural and adds to the story. It is an incredible series, a must read.
EarlineM says
I love Conner and his principles, which aren’t at all visible at the start.
Elaine says
I love how Navada is always pushing back against Connor, and how it seems like it’s what he needs the most.
Rohaise says
So hard to decide. The world building is wonder and I loved the stealthy ferret escapade, but what I love the most about the series is the family relationships and rock solid certainty that they will love and be there for each other no matter what.
Lynn2art says
My favorite things about the Hidden Legacy series is kind of the same thing I like about all your books. They’re fast paced, the females are always strong, intelligent and kick butt. Even when the males start off as hard headed alphas (a type of character I rarely like as much in other author’s hands) they always grow and come around into guys I can root for. Your side characters are interesting in their own rights.
If I had to narrow it down to one favorite thing it’s the development of your heroines. I love that you write strong, capable women instead of ditzy damsels in distress. Even when they are in a world over their heads you give me them solid sense and a capability to survive in ways that don’t reduce them. I love your heroines and am thankful for them.
Meg Fielding says
I love the banter and whole plot line of the Hidden Legacy series. It is totally representative of all the series you write. Just when I think I know what is coming there is a hit out of left field and I’m saying “What? What!!?” Cornelius Harrison’s situation seems to be a lose/lose but Nevada and Rogan pull solutions out of their powers and imagination as usual. Can’t wait to see what happens with Nevada’s testing to start her own House and how it impacts her relationship with Rogan.
Nicole says
As with all of your books, it is the dialogue that I love the best. Most of my favorite moments snarky comments between the characters. Cannot wait until the 25th!
T'Ericka says
I love Nevada’s honor. Her unwillingness to compromise who she is in the face of death, heartbreak etc. Rogan, her family, Her boss even the villains are like the layers of an onion that we get to peel back to see what drives them. And the best part of seeing each new layer is the juxtaposition of who we think people are and who they actually are. Even Nevada, who is a truth seeker has to face how what she believed is true and the actually truth. The journey and how invested I am in her continuing to discover different facets of who she is amazing
Silvia Herrera says
I like the fact that Navada doesn’t back down when it matter to her. I like everyone in her family knows they can count on each other with out a doubt and I like that Rogan is Rogan and he owns it.
Dawn Marie Page says
I love the meticulous attention to detail in the world building. It makes it hard to leave a book.
Dawn Page
Twiser says
I love your world building. I am amazed by all the wonderful, different, amazing stories you have to share. Your characters are top notch and relatable yet all kickass.
ManonLea says
It is hard to have just one favorite part, but I love the world that you have built. I love how it is explained, how you let us learn about it in such a flowing way. I love as soon as you introduce something new and I have to ask “what the what?” my question is answered in the next sentence/paragraph. I love this world, thank you for creating and sharing it with us.
Christine says
I love how Rogan sees the world and how Nevada changes his world!
Teresa says
The family dynamics are wonderful creations. From grandma to Leon, we get the gambit of personal relationships. As if that is not enough, add friends such as Bug and another family, the Harrisons. Matilda is just cute. Nevada is the young woman who has character, honor and ethics. I like to think she represents today’s young ladies. Just love Rogan. I enjoy his friendship with Augustine. Russian mythology adds another dimension. The stories are well written and thought out.
Klarky says
I love how Nevada doesn’t apologize for her strengths or her weaknesses! She is who she is, take it or leave it. I wish I was more like that.
Barbara says
I’m sorry, some “THING” favorite about it?! I love it all! Well fleshed out characters, non stop action, witty banter, smart plot lines, steaming romance and amazing world building.
However in this particular series it’s how naive Nevada started, how her personal choices have consequences and how they are linked with her role in the society she’s in, no matter how much she wants it different. Her discovering her powers and educating herself it’s what’s gonna help stop this obscure organization.
We started with Nev’s point zero and grow with her. That’s what a good story is all about, it’s characters and their arcs.
Good luck everyone!
Victoria Molin says
She’s sassy, classy and kick assey! ?
Alexis N. says
My favorite thing? That’s a really tough question. I guess it would be the family dynamics. The love that they have for one another along with the quirkiness, shared values, and all the exasperation and humor that families can bring.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Janet says
I love that Nevada doesn’t take Rogan for face value
Michelle says
The character development and relationships are what make the books so great!
Laurel says
I really enjoy Nevada’s snarky commentary, the relationship she has with her family and all of the interesting characters woven throughout the story.
Jessica Hwang says
I love how bad ass Nevada is.
Scrapper says
I really like how Nevada stays true to herself despite all that happens. Being able to look yourself in the mirror is my new motto!
Just love your work. Thank you.
Camille D. says
The ferrets and ferret-badger loping across the lawn with a battery operated screwdriver. The world building had to be exceptional to come up with that gem. I’ve convinced several people to try the series just by telling them about the magic ferrets (Yes, I know the ferrets aren’t actually magic but they’re amazing). I also learned that ferret-badgers are a thing so that is also a thing.
Laurel says
I really enjoy Nevada’s snarky commentary, the relationship she has with her family and all of the interesting characters woven throughout the story. (Sorry for the duplication, I misspelled my email address. Haha
Gail says
I love hoe Nevada’s power (and her sister’s powers) have consequences to using them. It makes the tension so strong!
Mystie Thongs says
Favorite thing other than the intricate character details is the fact that even though Rogan is the scariest dude alive ALL of his people are ridiculously protective of him. He earns their loyalty and they see the vulnerable side that needs shielding. How heartwarming is it?!
Raina says
My favorite things about Hidden Legacy are: (1) the magical yet realistic world you’ve built, (2) the allusions to Kevin Hearne’s work, purposeful or not, (3) how family oriented Nevada is, and (4) the progressive nature of the story.
I’m doing everything I can not to jump up and down and scream PICK ME PICK ME.
Grace Spengler says
I like how each time our couple solve something it exposes another layer, and hoe those ongoing investigations keep pulling people we have met before deeper and deeper in.
Shawn McCoy says
I love HL because Nevada is so strong. But she knows when to accept help. She also knows how to put Rogan in his place when he needs it! I love her dedication to her family and her moral code.
And Rogan is pretty much my husband… so there’s that. ?
Ana B. says
I love that the book balances the comedy, action, and romance. The obvious feelings of romance between Rogan and Nevada since the beginning, that everyone around them noticed except for them XD! The way Nevada kept growing and learning without falling behind. And, the fact that Rogan can sometimes read Nevada’s thoughts :3!
Becky says
I love how every one of your secondary characters has a distinct personality and voice. They’re not just in the story because they help drive the plot. And the fact that you have so many of them (from nevada’s family to bug to lenora jordan) makes your fantastic stories so much more real and relate-able, since many fantasy and romance authors fall into “tunnel vision,” where only the relationship between the main characters and their goal is of any importance. The depth of character development in the secondary characters and their relationships with your main pair is what truly makes your writing enjoyable for me.
Candace says
I adore this series. What I love most is the world building. Ilona Andrews takes you into worlds that you can’t imagine with vivid detail, fascinating characters and heart stopping action. This (regrettably) was my first dip into the Andrews’ books and won’t be my last. I have already gobbled up Kate Daniels’.
Jen M says
I love that Rogan & Nevada don’t apologize for what their “lines in the sand” are and accept & compromise that about each other. It’s reflective of a mature relationship
Dave_5k says
The humor and personality displayed in Nevada’s thoughts about Rogan (aka “dragon”…)
e.g.
“I am a polite, nonthreatening kind of dragon with excellent manners. Horns are hidden, tail is tucked away, fangs covered. I would never do anything cruel, like stab a man with a knife about ten times to get him to answer a question.”
Kirstin says
I love that both Rogan and Nevada are flawed but good people, but especially Rogan since the story is not from his perspective and that’s harder to achieve in a believable way.
I also just love the dramatic world building of houses and genetic magic.
Millie says
I love Nevada’s priorities in the books. She’s so family centric and totally relatable!
Brijin Boddy says
I love the ferrets and that Nevada finally gave in.
Tylikcat says
Connor being so damned comfortable with his own past.
Rebecca Magee says
I love the build up! The tension that works its way through the series, the tension that makes you want to throw the book across the room in gleeful frustration.
Amanda PM RN says
Ilona and Gordon have found a way to write characters that feel so real and are so human while being extraordinary in their magic. This world and dynamic family have almost become a strange addiction. While on vacation, I drove to a fast food chain restaurant in the middle of no where braving small bodies screaming on indoor play equipment so I could get a wifi signal to download White Hot. I have challenged friends and family to choose what their magical skill would be with detailed explanation over dinner. I drove around the area of Houston described in the book imagining which might just be the Baylor’s warehouse (Ipromise I was in the area for work). I know it’s not real, but I oh so wish it was because it is just so magical.
Sara Horney says
I love how the thoroughness of the writing in the Hidden Legacy series.
It’s so thorough I can feel totally immersed in the story. I don’t live anywhere near Texas, but when I read this series I feel like I am *in* Houston.
Stephanie says
I really love Nevada’s internal comments to herself and the ninja ferret. I pretty much laughed so through sections of the book that I had stop drinking because I was going to have an accident alternating with sweating palms because of the action.
Annika N. says
Favourite thing about Hidden Legacy: the compelling read. Both books so far have been read-in-one-sitting page-turners. Can’t wait for Wildfire!
ladyreadsalot says
I am always blown away by how many people comment on your blog and that what we see is always so positive and supportive – not only of the authors but also of other members of the Book Devouring Horde!!
As for Hidden Legacy series. I really, really like the snarky humor used by all the characters. It makes them that much more relatable even the seriously OP Rogan! Thank you for such great characters.
Bal says
Nevada’s family
Kris Ten-Eyck says
Ha – Romantic Times isn’t the only one hoping this is not the last we see of Rogan and Nevada!
Otter says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the characters. They are all so interesting! Even the minor characters are well-written and fleshed out.
Rachel Davis says
I can’t pick one thing I love the most about this series! Is it the romance, the action, the family bonds, the mystery, the world building, or the comedy? I love every word of both books so far!!! I guess if I had to pick it would just be love. The love between Nevada and her family and the brand new love between her and Rogan??.
Michael Cain says
Everything. The new world, Nevada and her family, the twisting world of the Houses and Primes. And how loyal and brave she is no matter what. And in book 2 that Rogan had just disappeared on her, though he hadn’t. Made me think of the dinner that didn’t from The Kate Daniels series.
Elle says
My favorite thing so far is Leon’s voiceover of the attack on the warehouse.
Susan says
Like most of the readers here, I love the world-building and detail, especially when you can see how this world (or any of the others you created) are only a little different from our real world. I love the family dynamics in Nevada’s family, and her sense of responsibility.
Jenn DeGarmo says
I love how all of the characters have distinctly different personalities and voices. I also really love the verbal interactions between Rogan and Nevada. And if I’m being honest, it doesn’t hurt that Rogan is super, super hot.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Holly says
I love the world building! It’s been so much fun seeing how this “Earth” differs from ours.
Julie K. says
Nevada is the perfect female lead. Strong, independent and dedicated to her family. I wish more books had female roles like that.
Tiger Lily says
I love the humor and the unexpectedness of some of the events that occur. Can’t wait for he third book!
Phyllis says
I have not read the Hidden Legacy books but I love all of Ilona Andrews’ other books.
Anna says
I honestly don’t know how to pick a favorite. I mean, I love the plot, the world building, the writing, the characters, the character development. I just think this series is perfection. I am also biased because I love everything you write, and not particularly good at explaining why I love things in general. It’s usually a lot easier to define what I do not like, but there isn’t anything (except maybe that I need there to be more books)!
I agree with all the different things listed in the comments I’ve read 😀
Jes K says
For me, it’s the family interactions. I love how Nevada and her family talk, play, and work together. I could easily see my family in hers.
Heidi says
The way all the characters feel fully fleshed out and the way you write an engaging and compelling story:) A heartfelt thank you for all your books!
evv says
“The chase” 😀 I love how Nevada is able to tell Rogan no, and he respects that :] And all that small things –
like when he feels relief when he sees she’s alright (even though he’s so badass and emotions “no-sho”) :] and Rogans POV that moment when he’s walking in the “Mercer Arboretum” like a predator (from Nevadas’ view) and in his head he’s strolling “nice and harmless” :snicker:
Korinne says
Omg, totally!
Michelle says
I love how Nevada does her best to protect her family but also realizes how when they all act together as a whole unit, rather than separate, they reach their full potential. Rogan included. Nevada puts everything she has into her business, family and ultimately life when she allows herself to be with Rogan. She absolutely has limits but she recognizes them and does her best to work through them rather than ignore them.
Sherry Bennett says
I love Connor’s POV. And Grandma….and Bug…and Bern…
Tania says
Loved the first book. The characters are fantastic. Nevada and a Mad are brought to life with the witty dialogue and really drew me into the story. I can’t wait to read this next one!
Carmen says
I love Grandma Frida. And I want to know more about what’s going with Leon!
Jennifer Ray says
How could I just pick one favorite part? I love all of it. Nevada is a strong family oriented heroin. I love the way her and Rogan’ s relationship deepened and developed over the course of Hidden Legacy.
Lisa says
I love that like the Kate Daniels books, theee is a strong female character, a change from all those books with damsels in distress
Suelder says
I love Augustine. I’m hoping that he’ll get his own romance at some point – that oughta take him down a peg!
Lindsay Lucas says
Hidden Legacy is a great series! I really love how strong and independent Nevada is but understands that she cannot take on the world alone. The relationship she has with her family, the humor intertwined throughout the books, the strength and growth of Nevada is amazing to read. I love how the environment is painted in the books, to where I can visual each scene in my head , even add in an eye roll to. Also, having the romance between Nevada and Rogan add to the book and not overwhelm the story is amazing. I love how the relationship is not forced or perfect, which makes it easier to visual and imagine.
Julie says
My favorite thing is that Nevada is not and never will be a “damsel in distress” and that Rogan, alpha male and Prime that he may be, respects and encourages that. Control freak that he may be, he’s learning even if he still has a ways to go. He didn’t recognize her as an equal at first, now he does. Albeit perhaps one who needs guidance and shelter (at first) from a world she has no experience with. Nevada on the other hand, faced with a terrifying Prime in the form of Rogan, or someone who holds her world over her head like Augustine, remains intact amd true to herself.
I have two daughters. I refused to take them to Disney films right up until Disney actually had a female protagonist who didn’t sit around waiting to be “saved” by some guy. I refused to buy them Barbie dolls because Astronaut Barbie or Physicist Barbie or Nobel Prize winning Barbie didn’t exist. Maybe they do now, I don’t know. This series, and in fact all of them that I’ve read are books I’d be happy to have my daughters read. Capable strong women who know their worth. There may be the “Alpha guy” in front of (and eventually next to) them, but only because Mr. Alpha has recognized someone who is his equal. And possibly more than his equal, time will tell.
Beth C. says
My fave thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s strength of character and how she takes care of her family. Oh, and her grandma’s awesome.
Emma L says
I love the fact that she is so strong, in so many ways, and that he respects that strength. There are so many strong women in this book – it is wonderful to read.
Jessica says
I love the world building and all of the side characters!
Robin says
I love the connection between in the Baylor family. The relationships in your books are real and true. And toss in the fact that it is another series, I’m hooked. And I will be hooked on whatever you do next, too.
Alicia says
I love Grandma Frida. Strong, opinionated, non-nonsense & she fixes tanks.
Maureen Kocisko says
How Nevada has a tendency to say something really awkward when Connor gets her riled up.
Lis says
I love that Connor encourages Nevada to be herself and that she can still see “Connor” in “Mad Rogan.” I think all the best relationships encourage you to be yourself – thank you for making this such a joy to read!
Cindy says
I love the concept, that magic is real, the settings, the characters and how they evolve with each other. I hope the author lords continue to write stories about Nevada and Rogan and all the others.
Delisa says
My favorite thing(s) about the series is the complex, yet believable alternate world and characters. They read like people, people that I would know and like and in some cases loath. Their social mores make sense, even though I don’t agree with most of them.
Linda Ortiz says
I love the characters, the romance, a the way the story unfolds
Terri says
Love the character development- particularly fond of Grandma Frieda. What is Arabella’s talent?! Starting a new job Monday so this will be the first release day for your books that I haven’t taken vacation since magic bleeds- really need the early give away, and totally appreciate the change to win one.
Divya Bappanad says
I love Grandma Frida. “Yes, I do. I tagged them, they’re mine.” Ha!
Mallory says
I love the voice of Nevada and watching her grow (and the budding romance with Conner!)
Lily says
Love that all of Nevada siblings and cousins are level headed and have powers!
Laura says
We have to pick one thing?! Gah!! Ok, I’ve got one, I love the Baylor family dynamic. I can’t get enough of those scenes in the warehouse when the extended family members are bantering with each other. It’s so amazingly authentic that I feel like I could pull up a chair and fix myself a taco. Grandma Frida totally cracks me up too. I always picture Estelle Getty on The Golden Girls for some reason.
Danielle Boule says
The different powers everyone has. It’s interesting to see how they differ in the family.
Avra says
I don’t think I can give just one thing I love about this series. It’s is just awesome! One of the few books I can read again and again and it still feels brand new! You guys are amazing and it shows in your books!
Danielle says
I love the sister’s relationships, and their growing powers.
Diiane says
I love how devoted Nevada is to her ethics and her loyalties. She is a good person and that shines through.
Whitney says
Nevada is my my favorite thing about the series. She’s comes across as a real person, she makes mistakes and deals with the cards life deals her with intelligence and a good helping of sarcasm!
Martha D says
All of the above!
I love that Nevada opened the door back up and snatched the bouquet of carnations.
Jennifer says
How the family sticks together and no matter what.
Jeni Wergeland says
I love the nuances of this series. There are layers of relationships, of power structure and power sharing. Each read gives you a deeper look into human nature even through the first person narrative. The relationships Nevada has with others is what keeps me coming back to the series (oh and the humor. I read those bits out loud to the hubby all the time).
dheep says
I love the Baylor family dynamics. It feels so authentic. And the world building
Toni says
First I loved that there was a new series to read. I love the characters and the strong sense of family the Baylors have and affection they display. Every time I Iisten to the books I’m amazed by your talent and attention to detail.
I’m a fan because you write about strong willed women and men who can handle that. The reality for me seems to be the opposite. I know I have a strong personality but that tends to scare men, so I find solace in your stories.
Anna-Lisa says
Favorite thing about hidden legacy is Grandma innocently buying bridal magazines for Connor and Nevada. I come from a loud and nosy family and you guys hit the nail on the head with all of their interactions. Can’t wait to read the last book, hope I win! (Fingers crossed thousands of times)
Margaret says
I like the way the characters are portrayed! Each has their different quirks, and I want to know more about at least Leon’s power!
Anne says
I love that this is the best Ilona Andrews series to date
WhoNeedsSleep? says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is Leon and Catalina and Arabella. I love seeing how they grow and interact in their family setting. Love, love, love Grandma Frida!!!
Angie says
I love the dialogue between Nevada and Rogan! You both manage to convey their distinct personalities with their words, especially when they’re bickering. Love it!
Jack O'Neill says
I love how the whole story is built. The way the magic system is built up and more than anything. I love Connor. He’s a William (bayou moon) on magic roids. Such a great trilogy.
Mac says
I love the way the world is developed. The idea of the colors of the future changing by the addition of the serum.
Actually, thinking about it…i just love all of it…great books
Ana B. says
I loved the Baylor family and their first reaction to Rogan when he had dinner at their home. Grandma Frida, described in one word, Hilarious! I love the way Leon, Arabella, and Catalina tease Nevada in the second book with the “R” on the dress and the money signs/ college money papers stuck to her door. the thoughts that came to mind where “hang in there Nevada!” XD.
Sukh K says
I love the world you have built in hidden legacy. The paranormal rules make sense, and the characters have depth and texture and are believable. There’s moments of laughter and thought provoking poignancy. I’ve read both books multiple times. I can’t wait to read the next one. I have strong suspicions on who Caesar might be. And I hope this is not the last time we will read about Nevada and Rogan.
DeDe says
I love how Nevada & Rogan’s relationship grows…and how he’s willing to give it up for her to be safe with her own House
Margaret Ropp says
I live the characters in relation to world building, so much there.
Auraya says
I absolutely love that Nevada still has a family and that they matter to the story. Sure the focus is on Nevada and Rogan, but the books wouldn’t be the same without the others.
Richard says
The world building, the magic and the banter between Nevada’s siblings.
Staci Y says
All of it, but I like feisty grandma and bratty kids. 🙂
FBR says
This is a hard choice since your books are delightful. I love Nevada. She’s strong, smart, good at her job, and doesn’t fall into the traps I’ve seen in a lot of heroines. If some one told me she was a real person (minus the magic) I would have believed it.
Harry Christopher says
I love the quirky oddball family life in the books! Ilona and Gordon Andrews always make their characters come to life!
Robin Higgs says
1) Their so many interesting characters
2)My adult daughter, sister and I read this series and it help to keep us close we talk and sometimes degree about the best characters
LauraR says
The depth of the characters, the way their interactions flow naturally and the world building is amazing. Love these stories. To be honest, I love all of your stories. Have a wonderful weekend.
Cinzia says
I love Nevada, her strength, she is a badass with a soft heart! I like how she discovered her feelings for Regan and how she decided that he was hers. And the family! The jokes from the kids, the pure love from the mum and the grandma. I love everything *_*
I was forgiving the environment, how the powers grow up from nothing and how the society changed. Your are the best, I always fall in love with your Worlds
Laurenda Peters says
I, too, love sushi without the weird mayo stuff. And I adore that Nevada did not forget to pick it up for her sisters, even after a HORRIFIC DAY! That is love and devotion and I adore how House Baylor has that in spades. Such a great and fun series. It’s just fantastic.
sue says
the way the family is so supportive of each other, in their own way…
Danielle E says
I love grandma Frieda and her sense of humor
Diana says
I love the relationship between Connor and Nevada. And I love the whole Baylor family. Can’t wait to see Bern’s rank or learn more about Leon and Arabella’s powers.
Elena says
I love EVERYTHING! The World, the characters and their interactions, the stories. But espescially I love Tank-Grandma, full-on-badass
Karen Ballard says
I was just told to read by my sister in law. I look forward to reading.
Thanks,
Karen
Kamrin says
Favorite thing: the world building- absolutely amazing. The characters-I can’t get enough of Mad Rogan, but really, all the characters are great. The dialogue is fantastic. I can go on and on…
Beutler benjamin says
This is a hard choice but the world you create is amazing . The society in “hidden legacy” is so interesting . I want to know more ^^
Trish Wendell says
I love Nevada’s family and imagining how other characters react to the interactions between them.
Sara Quan says
The characters! They are smart and quirky and actually funny. I mean that you show them to be smart and quirky by their actions and banter rather than just saying ‘oh here is a smart character’
Merith Cuppen says
The word building, the relationship between rogan and nevada ( no love at first sight…) the side characters (nevada’s family is awesome). Just about everything about the books! ?
Brandi says
I love the family interactions between Nevada, her sisters, her mom, grandma, and cousins. Each relationship has different nuances and shows the love of love and irritation you can have with a family member. It is not only relatable, it pulls you more into the story as it gives it further depth and realism.
Christina says
My favorite part of the series is Nevada’s character. She is a lot like your strong alpha female leads. Willing to do anything for those they care about. They fight tooth and nail the whole way. But in the end they FITFU, and come out on top, but not completely unscathed. But that helps the character grow.
Maria Deason says
I love anything by Ilona Andrews, but this series appeals to me more than the other ones. The story is gripping and full of surprising twists. I have read the first book three or four times already and am reading the second book again, as I eagerly await the last book. I love the family dynamics and the loyalty the Baylors have for one another. Can’t wait for number three!!
Alecia says
I love it all, but I think the Baylor family in private is my favorite.
Nichole Beames says
I love the unique storyline, the different magical categories is great! Nevada is a strong character and the flow of the story keeps you wanting more.
Sharon says
I love Grandma Frida.
Jo says
I love the idea of these magical families and with the power of that magic comes responsibility( and corruption) it is a colourful, rich world and I can’t wait to dive back in 🙂 oh and Nevada is one my favourite heroines ever. She is fantastic!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Ali says
I love how real the characters in the Hidden Legacy series seem–especially Nevada and her family–and the interactions between all of those amazing characters. Can’t wait for Wildfire!
Cecilia Rose says
I like all Ilona Andrews books. Period.
Vitalija says
I like the humor and magic.
MARLENE says
Found Ilona Andrews through her Kate Daniels series, but I have truly fallen for this trilogy. I love the family dynamics, how Nevana is discovering who she is and what she can accomplish. I am trilled to read the last one and also hoping there is a series about the rest of the family. I can’t get enough.
Illz says
That Nevada and Arabella are immune to Catalina’s powers because they already love her as much as they could…
Sandra Lane says
Haven’t read this series, but I am a big Kate Daniels fan!
Courtenay says
The odd touches of humor: starting with the cop telling Nevada that she won’t leave town because she can’t afford the gas, to Rogan and Augustine frantically telling their security to ferret proof their living quarters, with many others along the way. If you can’t laugh at regular intervals, it is very hard to read a book.
Korinne says
There are so many things I love about this series. Nevada is an all-around amazing character. I love her sense of humor. She doesn’t mouth off or let it interfere with her work (she’s professional above all) but she has this sort of running commentary in her head that is just hilarious. The first scene (with many more to follow later) that made me laugh out loud was when she was typing up her notes about Adam Pierce, particularly the “terminal fear of T-shirts” line and her end summary of “So far my best plan would be to build a mountain of gasoline cans and explosives, stick a Property of US Government sign on it, and throw a T-shirt over Pierce’s head when he showed up to explode it. Yes, this would totally work. If only.” (Burn for Me, p 43)
I also really love her truthseeker talent. When I read BFM the first time, I had never really thought about how much we lie in our day-to-day lives but I realized that we do. All the time. In the book, this ability has clearly played a huge role in shaping who Nevada is and it’s so interesting to see how it affects her interactions with people.
And, as in all of your books, I love how the supporting characters are just as real as the main ones. I believe your fanbase is unanimous in our adoration of Grandma Frida, in particular. The world and all of the characters feel so real and complete.
Thank you so much for gifting us with your truly wonderful books.
Sarah G. says
I love the whole dangerous, magical world of Hidden Legacy. I also love this crazy, loving family you have created led by some kick-butt military women. Go House Baylor!
April says
I love how Nevada has come “into” her magic.
The depth and complexity of the characters in this series is fantastic, I miss them when I am done reading!
anatwork says
To be honest I didn’t love “Burn for Me” but the depth of the world building, the character development and the general amazing-ness of Nevada’s world in “White Hot” blew me away. I loved the rules based magic systems and the hints of rpg (Skyrim esp ;)) style magic in the powers exhibited by the primes. It was also intriguing to see an urban fantasy where the world wasn’t a total ruin but did have a functioning society and government (although the former is more interesting to me in general, a la Kate’s world). Would LOVE to win a copy of Wildfire and am thoroughly looking forward to it.
Lena says
Definitely the worldbuilding. And Connor, of course.
Linda Fu says
I love the world building and the way each character and all the houses fit into this world. It’s seamless and flowing–not to mention hilarious and also heartbreaking at times.
Whitney says
What don’t I love about Hidden Legacy? I love the 3 dimensional characters and their interpersonal relationships. I like that your characters have flaws, such that they seem human. The magic complexities are amazing! As always, you guys are the best world builders I’ve read.
Chris Oldroyd says
Of course I love the dynamic between Rogan and Nevada, but what makes this series fun and very relatable is the makeup of Nevada’s family, the gradual reveal of their (evolving) powers, their concern for one another, and how these factors drive parts of the storyline.
Julie says
I love everything about the Hidden Legacy. But the best part is the character interactions. Love the banter with Nevada and Rogan. Love the way Nevada and her family banter. Love Grandma Frieda. Love it all!
Kell says
It’s Fiction. It’s Good. It’s not Indie.
Deepthy says
I love how the world building is done – it’s so complex but written so well
Amanda says
Catalina is my favorite thing about these books. I’m so fascinated by her power 🙂
Shaina Robbins says
I love this series!!! I can’t believe how powerful Nevada has become. And I can’t wait to find out what the full extent of her sisters power. Did I mention how much of a hunk mad Rogan is?
Josie Berg says
Hello,
What I love about the series, is the fact that Family comes first to Navada. Not only protecting them, but also providing the best life for them. Especially her cousins, that become immediate family members. Can’t wait for more adventures and pray that this is not the last book…perhaps 10 books???? :o}
Shalene says
I love you characters! In my experience romance character can fall short in the development department. This is NOT the case with our Aurthorlords! Even your bad guys are interesting and change from book to book ? Much love and I really hope to read more from you
MaryF says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series – oh it is so hard to say just one thing – has to be the Baylor family interaction. From Grandma right on down to Leon. It is so real, funny, poignant and, true to life. I know, redundant. I grew up in a fairly large family and I wish we had been like that. Well, we did have the fighting, but not the funny and good stuff.
Send me a book! 145 Bugaboo Court, Reno, Nevada 89511
MaryF says
Oops, every (except Ilona) ignore that I put my address for everyone to see.
MaryF says
everyone
sarafina says
However, if you get a book, EVERYONE will post their address going forward.
Beesocks says
I love everything about it, especially grandma frida, Nevada’s family, and Rogan. Even Pancakes has a special place in my book-loving heart.
Billie Dee Jelin says
I love that Nevada and Rogan are finally an item! Oh, my!!!
Lynn E. says
I love the family, how the struggled when the dad was ill and how they support each other. Also, as the mother of three girls I love the interaction between Nevada and her sisters.
Ann Gaul says
My favorite part is Nevada. NO! Wait, it’s Rogan. Ok, ok, it’s Nevada and Rogan ?
M. Smith says
I love all of Ilona Andrews works. I especially love how all the interpersonal relationships described in the books feel completely real, complex and multifaceted. I also greatly enjoy the diverse range of characters and the wonderful display of a working, functional and loving family. This is a series that I highly and often recommend to fellow readers.
Benicia Robrecht says
I love finding out more about Nevada’s family and their powers. I can’t wait to find out more in Wildfire!
Zealith says
I love the humor.
The bullsh*t conversation had me giggling helplessly.
Katie Webster says
The way Nevada evolves over the series so far — I love how she is coming to terms with her powers and relationship with Rogan!
Charmaine says
Hah! Love all aspects of HL. Favorite part? Never knowing what’s going to happen next. Plot twists galore! Have to admit to being a bit worried about the new scary grandma ?
Pat Sciarini says
The family dynamics of the Baylors and of Rogan as he tries to incorporate a totally different set of family values with his own. And the sparks between Nevada and Rogan are, of course, highly entertaining. I love this series and hope to see more of all the characters, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Sam Iam says
I am intrigued by the power houses in this series and the intricate political/magical scheming and how it keeps them in check. A far more effective way to balances the powers than in our own American government. Nevada is a fighter for the people and all the home town people and her strong sense of ethics and her power to enforce it by her powers. Cheeeeeee. Hooooo.
Joanna says
I love the rule Nevadas’ family follows. Staying true to yourself, to one believes is what matters. It lets you keep selfrespect. 🙂
Susan Brock says
I love the story so much it’s had to choose one thing. Nevadas strength in herself, her love and passion for her family, Mad Rogan and his growth as a character. But I think most of all I love the writing style and the way you captured and hold my attention with a well written book.
Melisa Todd says
Favorite so far is the complexity of the world building. If you put this up on Kindle Worlds I’d so play in this sandbox. But I love Nevada and Rogan, just so very very much.
Nicole Carter says
What do I love most? The intricate world building, Nevada’s devotion and relationship with her family, Grandma Freda, the dialogue, but really, we all know it’s Rogan. Strong and hard and damaged and protective. Yea, he’s awesome.
LJ Paige says
I love that Nevada has her own business. I appreciate that you write females who are intelligent and don’t depend upon a man to rescue them.
Felicia Myers says
They are really great books.?
Rhonda says
I enjoy the heat generated between Nevada and Rogan. Also the worldbuilding is amazing.
Trena says
I have enjoyed how the characters have grown and changed over the course of the first two books. Can’t wait to see how things develop in the third book!
Haley says
I like the little unexpected bits of humor best. Like the part where Sergeant Teddy gives Nevada a hug 😉
I’m counting down the days until Wildfire comes out. It’s gonna be great!
Jo Delaney says
My favourite thing is Nevada and her family.
Bronwyn Bleakley says
Love that Nevada is no damsel in distress and she and Connor are developing a partnership.
Shanelle says
What I love the most about Hidden Legacy, indeed about all your books, is the development of the strong female lead in all your books. I love the fact that Nevada understands and shoulders the responsibility of being a breadwinner and caring for her family and she constantly battles with complex decisions that requires her to weigh the safety and health of her loved ones against her societal and personal values and morals. There is almost always this trade-off between what you believe is the right thing to do and what is best for you. This reminds a lot of my grandmother and her iron will.
bege says
You put it better than I could, except I do not share your grandmother.
Jessica says
I like that the side characters are just as interesting as the main characters. (True of your other series, too!)
Lindrine says
I love the balance. There are consequences to the characters actions but they make hard choices and try to save the day.
Lilly M. says
The whole package is just so well put together. My favorite part is the side characters. I want to be a fly on the wall in the warehouse and just watch the shinanagins unfold. The characters are so well written there is almost a grieving period when I finish the book because it’s like saying goodbye to friends.
K Cheree Hulsman says
I have so many favorite things.
But I secretly love the fact that grandma is a tank mechanic, and yet a hopeless romantic. You go grandma.
Helen Grubb says
I love the interaction between Rogan and Nevada, especially the humor.
Jennifer Wolff says
Nevada and her relationships with others.
Kate says
I love the scenes where Nevada is interacting with her family.
Lauren McClees says
I love all of the strong female characters in this series, as with all of your series, and how the secondary or tertiary characters are just as well developed people as the main character is. They are so well written and fully fleshed out people, with both flaws and strengths, that they feel like they could be real. ALL of the characters in this series are wonderful but the women are my absolute favorites. The tank driving grandma is perfection.
Clarissa says
I have not read this yet but want to ! I love all your other books and I am extremely excited to start these as well ! Thanks for the chance to win one of you amazing books ?
Smeech says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the humor in the series. The scene where Rogan marches outside to the middle of the street, says he’s on his land now, did that fix anything with Nevada, is hilarious.
Kim says
I’m a huge fan of the well thought out world building.
Tihana says
I love the family dynamic and how you make teenagers believable. I love grandmothers with tanks that raise kickass daughters and granddaughters. I love how they are ice mages and invisible demon thingys from another dimension but there is also the importance of veterans and their life after the army.
Betty says
I love that even though they bicker at each other,at the end of the day there family and that means everything… Favorite part…Nevada takes pictures of just about everything that rogan does that her grandma would freak about and if there’s no pictures it didn’t happen…lol
Susan E says
I love the family dynamics though I am more than a little worried about the pressure the other grandmother is going to put on Nevada….
Emily Browness says
I hadn’t discovered this series until I saw your tweet about this giveaway. I am over the moon excited to dive in though! My time spent nursing my baby is about to get more interesting!
Karen says
I love this series for many reasons, but the snarky dialog is my favorite.
Connie says
I love how close Nevada is to her family and how she is willing to do anything to protect them. An these books are so unique. I read a ton of paranormal stories and I have never read anything like this series.
Sylvia Gibb says
I love Nevada… how she looks after everyone… she reminds me of myself when I was younger, looking after my family… also got to give love to Rogan… he’s awesome!
Elizabeth says
I admire your world building. Somehow as weird as the world is, it is believable with characters I am invested in.
Shannon Gonzales says
ROGAN is definitely my favorite part of Hidden Legacy! Lol. I never thought I would find a series that I enjoyed/obsessed over as much as the Kate/Curran novels, but Hidden Legacy has definitely reached that allusive feat. Rogan presents a very hard shell to the world because he’s been shaped/spit out/burned by the magical war, but he really does care a lot about his people, especially Nevada, of course. He’s just sexy as hell and his protective compulsions are very endearing. Besides him and his tactile awesome-ness, I really like the principled Nevada and all the quirky talents of the side characters – two words: ferret heist. I can’t wait to read Wildfire!! I’ve read the first two novels about 5 times, including highlighting all my favorite parts. 0:-)
Ettie says
I love this series more than Kate Daniels. The romance is intense and the world building is so complex and realistic.
Gail Hoover says
Ilona Andrews is the best. Their Kate Daniels and Innskeeper series are so e of my favorite.
Thank you Ilona
Rachel says
Every time I turn a page there is something new and different I learn about Nevada and her family. But I especially like how she stands up for herself, her family and her friends
Mell says
I love the world building of the different houses and the different powers and power levels that comprise each house. It’s so unique and interesting!
Ryan says
I enjoy the humor that is prevalent throughout even through all of the drama. The pictures left by sisters. Leon’s questionable humor. It’s awesome.
Liv W says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is all the strong female leads (Grandma Frida, Penelope, Lenora Jordan, and even Catalina and Arabella), but Nevada most of all. She’s intelligent, independent, feisty, quick witted, ethical, and fiercely loyal.
Kara says
There are many things that I love about the Hidden Legacy books. The premise of the world is fantastic. But what makes the stories amazing is the interactions between the characters. You believe they could exist. You don’t get to watch one or two characters change and develop but the entire cast grows and is altered due to events. Ilona Andrews is so brilliant at storytelling that you live with the characters, you laugh, you cry and you celebrate.
Hands down one of my favorite series.
Diane says
I love how Nevada is an independent woman! I love when the main heroine can hold her own!
Erin says
Worldbuilding!! Also, Grandma.
Casey Hawkins says
I love how the characters have flaws and weaknesses. They feel more real that way.
Dee says
I haven’t read Hidden Legacy, yet. I’m waiting to read all three back to back, so I can stay in that world longer. I love your stories! I want to live in them. Congrats on the RT review!
Derrick says
This is such a amazing series. I love how it changes from Ilona’s Other series.
Linds says
I like all the smut!
🙂
Deb in PA says
I like how the family sticks together. There might be sqabbles, but they know they can count on each other.
Rose says
I love that it builds on the world from Of Swine and Roses. I absolutely adore that story and have been so excited to see more of that world!
Diane Mc. says
All the twists that I don’e expect plus the trashing of Houston”””1
Judy Glaser says
I enjoy the whole dynamics of the story line but my biggest laugh was the idea of the critters going into the air ducts and the big all powerful wizards quickly texting to secure their own ducts. Love that the ‘weaker’ power found their Achilles heel. great series!
Crystal D Hill says
I have to say that Nevada’s family is the best part of the series–especially her grandmother. She’s hilarious. ?
TiraLew says
I love that Rogan is a protector, but can and will take Nevada seriously. Having an equal partner is infinitely harder than caring for a damsel in distress. I adore all of your heroines because they stand up and demand respect for themselves. Thank you for such awesome stories!
Midge says
I so love this series and can’t wait for this next book! I really enjoy how Mad Rogan and Nevada interact as well as Nevada’s family.
Margot D. says
The house. And I don’t mean the Houses (though, seriously that’s pretty cool stuff) but the Baylor house-warehouse-offices-hut-tanks.
Gimme.
Aly P says
I have to find only 1 thing?? I love the sense of family that Nevada’s has, I LOVE Mad Rogan and his (sometimes) crazy ways, I love your humor and world building, I love the secondary characters…
Melz Tipton says
I like the different houses and classifications. I’ve always been of fan of magic and sorcery fictions. The dynamics and politics of between the houses adds another level the story and characters.
Chana says
Love this series. It’s hard to choose my favorite part. I think I like Nevada’s personality and morals.
Amy says
I love the humor. The I know this is going end with me getting kicked in the teeth but it’s the right thing to do so I might as well laugh vibe.
Meg says
The excellent job you guys do of “show don’t tell” on Nevada’s investigative skills.
Cheryl McInnis says
I love the family dynamics. I am so hoping we get more books featuring Nevada’s sisters and the cousins. I also love the romance…and that the Hidden Legacy series is a “little” spicier than the Kate Daniels series. (Although I love that one too!)
Dawn says
I love how Nevada is a badass, independent female character!
Sabah says
I loved everything about the book but my favorite part is when Nevada saved Connor and herself. I love a strong female character and I can’t wait to read Wildfire.
Kelly B says
My favorite part about the Hidden Legacy series is by far and away Mad Rogan. He is a soldier, who fought for his country, he is both the power house and the underdog in that few see more than his legend/notoriety. Yet, he helps fellow soldiers and falls for this crazy gal and there’s more there than just what Nevada sees. Sigh….yes, Rogan is the best part of the series.
Lindsey says
I love the chemistry between Nevada and Rogan.
Cheesebk says
I probably love Nevada’s Family most….. But there is so much awesomeness in the Books, it’s hard to decide
Majka says
Hello. Thanks for this chance.
I like how realistic is Nevada. I mean she isn’t this I-am-going-to-save-it-all kind of character, she is lile us, normal people – messy, mostly freaking out and dealing with problems on the go with some realistic training in her past.
And totally freaking out in her spare moments, because even heroines have their face-desk moments, when noone is looking.
I like she is us. Any of us.
Jo says
What I love is the reality that we must all face the monsters inside of us , we must “see” them in order to rule them. Nevada’s struggles, self-awareness and her commitment to her family and now Rogan is an everyday struggle for us all. How do we learn to be whole when being whole means integrating aspects of ourselves that are uncomfortable to say the least. Lessons learned, taught and enjoyed all in one series.
Tabitha says
I love all the action mixed with times of humor.
Issa says
The intricacies of Nevada’s family runs really close to the uniqueness of the world and the different magics that exist.
Meghan says
I love how you allude to secrets and mysteries without dumping them all at once or giving the game away too early. They are possible without being obvious
Jill B says
I love so many things about this series! Topping the list are the world building as well as the character development.
Karen says
So many things to love! I think the strong characterisations and sense of journey/growth within such a well-built world.
Tina Ferguson says
I Love the evolution of Rogan’s character as he and Nevada deepen their relationship.
Also Nevada’s grandmother is awesome!
Sam says
I love Hidden Legacy for many reasons. The mix of fantasy with a world we know. Doing magic and someone yelling “Do it for the vine!” How the main character Nevada struggles with what she wants and what she needs to do for her family. The combo of political espionage, magic, and romance makes it so enjoyable.
Marie-Claude says
Nevada’s family and all their different powers.
Amelia says
I love your world building and character development. With each book I get to know the characters on a new level. I’m never disappointed!
Sheila Jacobson says
My favorite thing about “Hidden Legacy” is that it is so different from anything else out there. The ‘magic families’ is a brilliant idea; along with the very different dynamics in Nevada’s family. I am so tired of buying and reading crap; that I can’t wait until you come out with another book in ANY series. You need to clone yourselves, so you can write faster.
Susan McVey says
What I love most is the complexity of the characters and relationships. Other authors tell you a character likes carnations and that’s pretty much it. Nevada’s favorites are petunias and the authors describe their scent and paint a picture of a night with 5,000 flowers surrounding your home. It is magical.
Susan McVey says
Sorry carnations not petunias.
Tahera says
Wow I’m loving this series so far! The writing style and world building is great. One of my fave things among many is the strong women characters. The grandma, mum, Nevada and her sisters have all dealt with what life throws at them and they’re still come out on top!
Aurora says
My favorite part about the Hidden Legacy series is how it makes me think- if I had X power, how would I use it? I love the theoretical possibilities!
Shaina says
Nevada’s family and Mad Rogan’s dark humour make the book worth re-reading! Love this series…and the fact Rogan is a TACTILE!
Lizzy says
It is so hard to pick one thing. But I think the thing I love the most is Nevada’s ethics that she lives by. Well that and the constant new twists.
Jodi Bruker says
I love the dynamic between Nevada and Rogan, they are completely different in so many ways and yet perfectly matched.
Cassie Scoggins says
I love everything about the series!!! I love all of Ilona Andrews books! Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!!
Gale D says
My favorite trilogy! I love the story line and all the characters; main and supporting. (Nevada’s determination and common sense, Rogan’s struggles with his past.)
I would love to see ‘Cornelius’ Case Files’ with Baylor Investigations.
Lacey Thach says
Nevada and her family! I love the love they have for each other and how they always have each other’s backs!
Naomi says
I absolutely love the banter between Rogan and Nevada! All your characters are so well thought through and real, that’s why I love reading the hidden legacy novels and all your other series as well. The world’s you two create just pull me in and every time I finish a book I just want to keep on reading and reading…
Dawn Brower says
I love everything about the Hidden Legacy series. I got sucked in on the first book and couldn’t put it down. It took way too long for this series to continue. Nevada and Mad Rogan’s chemistry is off the charts. I can’t wait to read this book.
Nikki says
The best thing about this book is the entire world that was created with the different types of mages and their unique abilities.
Genevieve says
I love that Nevada always tries to do what is right, not what is expedient or profitable.
Lou says
I love the family and fun magics
Michelle Badillo says
Navada’s grandma is probably the best. Tough, silly, and always taking and playing with vehicles whenever she can. That and the Texas location, just 3 hours from home!
Brittany says
I love the sass, and the plot twists. Mad Rogan and Neveda stay with me long after the final pages have been read. Ilona Andrews world building is top notch, and completely unqiue to the genre. I’d love to give one of those paperbacks a home on my shelf.
Sifsaffire says
Argh, it’s so hard to say what I like the most about hidden legacy, but maybe that you have great characters, that incorporate two very different aspects of Sci Fi/ paranormal romance
Eli says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy are the relationships and interactions within Nevada’s family. They have a combination of caring, thoughtlessness, and snark that resonates with reality. (Well, a cooler reality than my day-to-day life, but one that seems possible.)
maddbookish says
I like everything about the series, the magic, the action, the romance, Nevada’s family, Rohan’s people, but I what I like best are the humorous bits. The scene in White Hot, with Leon and the video commentary was hilarious. My husband literally laughed out loud when he read that part.
maddbookish says
*Rogan
Allie says
I love Grandma Baylor! She is so bad-ass!
Melinda says
Phenomenal Cosmic Powers! I love when characters have to deal with being too powerful in a way and all of the responsibilities that come with that power. And mmm – the slow burn with wicked flashpoints between Nevada and Rogan…
Kathleen says
Everything! But the first favourite that springs to mind is Sgt. Teddy. “I had been hugged by a giant, pacifist , super-intelligent bear. I could do this.”
Thank you for your wonderful books.
Jardee says
I think my favorite part of this series is the way that Nevada’s family interacts. You can tell that she loves her sisters and cousins, but they act just like real teenagers sometimes and you can just *see* them rolling their eyes at her. It’s great character development! I can’t wait to find out what happens in the third book.
Kay says
the two of you always come up with something unexpected…..no formula in your plot lines.
Leigh says
I love the whole family dynamic and the humor through out the series.
Susan Boyiddle says
Mad Rogan and Nevada’s crazy, complicated relationship and the world its in.
Amy Simondet says
I love the humor in the dialogue and the family relationships best! Great series so far, and I am counting down to Wildfire!
Teri says
So many things to choose from but I love that Nevada and family are driven by “what is right”. Rogan is soooo very protective of those he cares about AND the passion between them. Love this series. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIES ????????
Elaine says
I love that my theories of what will happened next are proved wrong.
Dana Mitchell says
I love everything about the series!!! I love everything about all of your series. You write such well rounded stories with fantastic character development and unbelievable world building. You are my favorite authors to read–automatic buys upon release.
santhiya raman says
I like mostly the family dynamic of Nevada. I also like how the hidden legacy is created as UF world but still mirrors the power issues of our society.
I also like the work principles of Nevada. And Mad Rogan.
Julia says
I love the series but if i have to pick a favorite thing, i would say i love how you incorporated table top gaming into how you describe things. The geek in me perks up and gets a big smile
Rachel Zimmerman says
Another strong female lead (Although Kate will always be my favorite).
Wingedsyn says
It’s hard to pick one particular thing, but I really love the dynamic between Rogan and Nevada. I just think the way you write them is very natural and honest. Love this series!
Janeen Alum-MacDonald says
Your words make me think of all the nearly impossible and quite improbable thinks and things and it warms my coal stricken heart. Thank you 🙂
Elf says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the excellent characterization of family relationships… and Mad Rogan. Everything about Mad Rogan, yes.
Kyla says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the humour. I love how there are funny moments threaded through even the most intense scenes.
Gundega says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy…that’s rather difficult to say, but the first thing that came to my mind was how Nevada said to Rogan that she’d like to be like Lenora Jordan, not specifically DA itself, but like Lenora just in her own right – content with her achievement of owning her own successful agency & being respected by her peers with her loved ones around her.
Yu says
Yaaaaaaay giveaway!
There are so many aspects to love about the Hidden legacy series, but I think the most intriguing and well done aspect is the world building. I feel like it for so seamlessly, there is no suspension of disbelief, it simply feels logical and real. The beauty of the series is that it’s so very clever and manages to be so much much than just a paranormal romance story.
Shannon from Florida says
I just wanted to comment on the review. I will wait for my kindle book. FIVE FREAKING STARS!!!!! That is amazing and so well deserved. Congratulations and I hope that makes up for the crappy week you have been having ?????
Chris says
My favorite thing is the reason I read all of your books constantly – the real-life dialogue spiced with the witty banter between your characters is addictive!
… is it July 25th yet? … ?
Shana says
My favorite part of the series is the depth of the supporting characters especially Nevada’s family. They bring both lightness and seriousness in equal parts and leaves me wanting to know more about them all.
Siobhan says
Nevada’s family, and Rogan’s desperate hunger for it.
Claire says
I love that Nevada knows herself and understands who she really is. That she has a moral code, a line she will not cross. That she stands toe to toe with Rogan and expects him to respect her decisions.
trixie says
likeable characters, funny dialogue, unbelievable world building descriptions and some smexy mixed in. what more could I want??
Alyssa :) says
I really thought that it could not get any better after reading the Kate Daniels series, but this series took the cake ! I love each and every character! Rogan is honestly the hottest character ever written on paper and I can identify so well with Nevada! Even if I do not win, I will buy this book as soon as it is on sale ! i have read all of your books Ilona and Gordon, please keep going for ever.
Katharina says
I love the Baylor family! They’re so different characters and drive each other crazy, but when it matters they do everything to protect their family.
Also I find the complex Hidden Legacy World really fascinating and the “Mad” Rogan character is another favorite of mine.
Nadia B says
My favorite thing? I love the way that Rogan interacts with Nevada. Their relationship cracks me up; but it’s also very sweet at times. Just fun. 🙂
Natalie says
I love the fact that their magic doesn’t make everything better. It is just another part of them. I also love the fact that the characters act like real people.
Shymaa Ibrahim says
My fav thing is Nevada and Connor’ s relationship ????
I love every freaking thing about this books
Jess Lee says
I love how badass Nevada is while still having a super strong moral compass. It’s also amazing to read about a loyal and normal/crazy family that is close. Oftentimes books with a strong heroine means that heroine has a checkered past, has no family, etc. I love see Nevada’s family rally behind and NEXT to her.
Kelley says
I love that Nevada has a family that she loves and protects. Its different from Kate she can’t just go off and not worry about the consequences, she has to try and think things through first. Also, Grandma, grandma kicks ass.
Kisha says
My favorite part is the relationships between both Nevada and Rogan, and also the ones that she has with her family. I also love how their particular talents are revealed a little at a time. (I won’t deny that this is also frustrating at times!)
Hannah W says
I love how authentic the family relationships feel – the blend of love, teasing, humor, sarcasm . . . it reminds me of my own family in good ways 🙂
Bridget says
As an older sister, I love the relationship between Nevada and her sister. Although it is killing me not knowing what Arabella’s power are yet… even though it is pretty obvious that it is going to be epic.
Jackie B says
I love Nevada’s crazy family, especially her Grandma!!
Violet says
I love this series because it has its comedy relief moments. Some series take themselves too seriously. Love how the two main characters( Nevada & Mad Roman) act together and come together with a situation.
I enjoy rereading the two other books and you can bet your money I’ll reread this book too.
Loves!
Violeta
Heather says
I love Nevada’s family!!
Jeci Elle says
I love Navada’s family. They’re dynamic is fun to read.
Michelle says
My favorite thing is the same in all your series: the supporting cast that gives your main characters motivation to give it their all. I’ve warmed to Rogan as a love interest, but Nevada and her family are awesome.
Patience says
Re: Review.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
My favorite is Nevada’s family. I Love Grandma. I wish I was Grandma. I mean really, who wouldn’t want a grandmother who could “talk” to tanks?!
Secondly, I love the different types of skills (powers) AI can be up with. Such imagination.
Thank you so much for such an awesome series!
Fran says
I love that your women are sensible and capable. They don’t take any rubbish from the guys and they make good choices and have good ideas. 🙂 xo
Melissa Braden says
It’s hard to pick one thing, but I really love Nevada’s family. Her grandma is especially awesome.
Nan says
Love the family dynamics — still laughing at the posters that Nevada’s sisters put up of her and Logan! 🙂
Litha Nelle says
My favorite thing about the HL series is Nevada’s family members and their dynamics. It is a treat to read books with so many amazing characters!
~Litha Nelle
Catlover says
A three generation family that works together and also allowed to be their own person. Love the humor in this series and all the magic differences and combinations. A great series! Rereading it again, getting ready for #3.
Nicole says
It’s so hard to pick just one!! But I think my favorite thing is Nevada’s relationship with her family, and how they tease and love each other <3
Marjorie says
My favorite thing is that Nevada didn’t fall into Connor’s arms. She saw him with clear eyes, and knew he wasn’t what she wanted. Over time, she learned more of who he really was and actually loved and respected him. It wasn’t a whirlwind Love at First Sight thing.
tai says
There are too many things! I love the interactions between all the Baylor’s, I love how Nevada is pragmatic and still shows empathy, I love that she is independent but recognizes (grudgingly! heh) that there are areas in which she needs assistance. Love love love!
Jennifer says
I don’t think I can pick just one! The world building, the characters- Nevada’s family, the mystery, the volatile relationship between Nevada and Rogan, the awesome narration of Renee Raudman on the audio… I could go on and on!
Jessica DuLong says
I’m really loving the bond Nevada has with her family. The acceptance and love they all give each other even while they drive each other crazy.
Chan Yuet Mei says
I really love the brave defiant Nevada as she does what she thinks is right (see the way she tells Rogan off) and yet she has to do the difficult thing although it meant exposed her family to danger.
I also love the single minded passion that Rogan has for Nevada.
The magic physic powers that are covered in the Hidden Legacy books are really out of this world, thanks to Ilona and Gordon for taking me on a wonderful out of this world adventure. Love love love the books!
Monica says
I love the world building in Hidden Legacy and your writing style, but what really keeps me addicted to all your series, not just this one, is the character building. The way that you portray them, the dialogue, the interactions between them… it’s really a pleasure to read. They evolve and adapt to the changes through the situations in the books but keep true to themselves. Both male and female protagonist are a couple, they work together, they fight, they love each other and you can totally see it in your mind. They are real. And the secondary characters are incredible as well. I can’t wait to see what Arabella can do with her magic!
Cali says
I cannot wait for this one to come out!! And it is hard to pick a single favorite thing about the series. I love the family angle, I love the character development, I love the writing. I think we need more Heroines like Nevada!
Ashley says
I love the fact that Nevada has no problem speaking her mind.
Caitlin says
The “Dragon” Mad Rogan and Nevada’s chemistry keeps me reading all night. I can’t wait until Wildfire comes out!
Kiley says
Beyond the awesome story line and characters, I love that this story is based in Houston! I’ve lived here for the past 6 years and it is really fun recognizing the locations in the books 🙂
Erika says
So much to love, but I’ll go with the balance of wit and heart. And the dragon himself, Rogan.
Nean says
You can see why it has 5 stars!
I love the surprises in the series. Just when you think you know a character a new faucet is revealed. I really thought Grandma had always been family 1st with a strong military background – lots on connections. But then we learn she really wasn’t supportive of her daughter’s choice – and not just because he’s non military.
I had no idea there was a whole back story/hidden family waiting to come ambush everyone. Way to keep secrets Mom!
And a strong, confident female lead.. love it.
Anna says
One favourite thing is the world Nevada lives in, it’s just so interesting with the magic and the way the characters, agencies, and other aspects work together and interact. It’s very well thought out. And it makes Nevada and her story touch me, because the setting is so detailed and real.
Cynthia Young says
Only one thing? I love the fact that your characters evolve but don’t change who they are . I love their interactions and the humor you infuse ( “I am in a Disney movie”) I love that you so thoroughly explain and research everything- I never knew what temperature concrete “burned ” at and that it turned to dust.
I love becoming invested in your characters and the worlds you create.
Thank you
lynn says
Thank you Ilona Andrews. Please do not enter me the drawing as I have already pre ordered amazon kindle version which I prefer at this point in my life since my bookcases overflow and there is no more space to build another one.
I think I enjoy the fact that hidden legacy is a progressive realistic story arc with unexpected twists and turns along the way. Many authors do not write realistic teenagers with all the drama and agony and eye rolling etc. Since I deal with 5 nephews and nieces and their assorted parental units on a regular basis I can appreciate this. I also love Gordon’s male POVs as they flesh out the male hero.
Elena soltau says
I love grandma and her propensity for pictures. I’ve adopted her phrase, “Photo or it didn’t happen”.
peg says
I love her family from grandma to the mom, sisters and cousins. romance is great but good characters make a book.
Ashling says
I haven’t read this series yet. I’ve read 75% of their other books. Ilona Andrews is in my top 3 authors, along with Chloe Neill and Jeanine Frost. Love paranormal fiction!
Elizabeth says

Mary Cleghorn says
I love how the characters come to life and jump off of the page.
Jen H says
One thing? I only get to pick one thing? Nope, I can’t pick just one. I love Nevada (her attitude, her growth, her loyalty, just HER). I love Rogan, because, well yum and I love the play between him and Nevada. I love the magic and the interesting things y’all have done with it. I love Grandma and her tanks. The girls (which I totally picture your two beautiful girls as when reading). Bug, Troy, Lenora. Basically I just love this world you built and the little piece you carved our to show us. I have re-read this series more than any other and seem to read it every couple of months. Can’t wait to get my hands on Wildfire and I too hope there is more to come from this world!
Alicia F. says
What I love about the hidden legacy series is that we have a family of undercover badasses…the irony is the juxtaposition of having 3 female Primes in one family. I love how they evolve from being under the radar, just regular folk trying to make it & navigate through a magical world, to being even higher up on the echelon scale than what any of them could imagine.
Amber says
I love the back and forth bethween Nevada and Rogan. Absolute favorite is when he first kidnapped her to interrogate her and it went sideways on him.
Joann Grey says
I love Nevada’s family. The Grandma, the Mom, the sisters and cousins all add a very special dimension to the story. Actually, a lot of your stories have family connections and I am trying to think of another author who does it as well. Nope can’t think of anyone else. You’re the best.
Danae V says
My favourite thing about Hidden Legacy has got to be Nevada. Just her whole personality. I admire the bond she has with her family but also the determination it took her to go to college just so she could support them. I love her witty banter with Rogan. She may very well be my most beloved heroine.
Patricia says
Nevada is a great character. I love her attitude and determination. There have been times I wanted to tell someone to “eat dirt!”
Laura says
I always love your characters the best. Nevada has flaws, some of which she acknowledges and some she doesn’t. She has interesting and diverse relationships with her family. And of course her relationship with Rogan had been fun to watch as it develops.
Kelly Hale says
Love Nevada’s character and this series – have read them over and over. Thanks!
Kyle Belliston says
I can’t wait for this book to come out. The first and second books more than lived up to my High expectations.
Christine says
I must admit that it is hard to choose just one thing, since the Hidden Legacy trilogy (or at least 1 and 2) is amazing.
But if I must, I’ll say that my favourite thing about the books is the world building. I find it really vast and interesting to think about, because what if supernatural powers came into our world? How would we react? Would we be like the society in Houston where money isn’t the most valuable currency anymore? And of course I wonder what power I would like to have (teleportation!).
But the world building is nothing without great characters and the books only have that. So kudos.
I’m hoping that I’m one of the lucky winners. 🙂
Love, from Denmark.
Nicole says
I love your characters
Tanja B. says
Sorry, I can’t pick only one thing: ☺️
I like that it’s all about family.
The world building in each series is so different but they are all powerful and convincing. The Hidden Legacy is another amazing world. When I think about it – the family aspect is something they all have in common somehow. Love it!
Tanja B. says
Ah, forgot the humor and the witty dialogues And, of course, the ferrets!
Beth McDaniel says
I really love the dedication to world building. World building done right is a lot like a ballet. It takes a lot of effort to build a logical system of rules and stick to them without making it look or feel like work.
Shlomi Harif says
The _one_ thing? Sigh. The worldbuilding. The flexible consistency of the magic. How each book drills deeper into the mythology of it all. Way cool. And yes, OF COURSE the characters and the plot and… etc., etc., ad delirium.
Meghan Gilbert says
My favourite thing is the family dynamic. The humor, exasperation, and most of all love.
Meredith C says
One scene that jumps to mind as a favorite is how fate threw Nevada and Rogan together again. hehe can’t tell Grandma.
I also enjoyed how Nevada was bad mouthing in Primes in the first book and in the back of your mind you think… guess who is a prime.
I could go on. Dragon thoughts. Not killing the squirrel. Peaches going splat. Two bit magician with a ribbon. The ferret heist and plans to secure a laundry vent…
Angel says
I absolutely love Rogan’s character. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the male characters in your books, Curran especially, but Rogan is by far my favorite. He’s seriously every girl’s dream guy (and I’m married ???). He’s so sweet with Nevada, whether she sees it or not. He’s so incredibly powerful but takes the time and energy to reel it in for her. Not to lessen her own power or the fact that she definitely can take care of herself. It’s just nice to not have to all the time, you know? Rogan is easily my very favoritest part of the series!
Christine says
Love the interaction between Nevada and Rogan… the Hidden Legacy world ? is complex and at times ruthless but fascinating. There have been so many great moments it’s hard to pick out just one.
But I have to say that the scene with Cornelius and the ferrets was amazing!
Read and reread it as it was so well done! I would love to see it played out in a film…
Great review…can’t wait to read it ?
E. says
Nevada’s family, particularly as more of their abilities are being revealed, are my favorite parts.
Tara S says
I haven’t read The Hidden Legacy Series yet, but it’s been on my wishlist for a while.
Sandra Anderson says
I think my favorite scene(s) was in the cistern. Without giving too much away, it showed the strength of will, tenacity, morality, and shear love Nevada and Rogen had. It was one of the most intense scenes I’ve ever read. Bravo!
Gracie O'Neil says
I love the fact that both Nevada and Rogan have a solid ethical foundation. It may not be what most people consider to be normal, but they protect those they love and those who are weaker than they are. That, to me, is the entire noblesse oblige of having power of any sort. Love that they do this. Love everything else about this series too.
Marissa Manaloto says
Honestly I love the world! I love how magic and politics in the modern world were all mixed up to come up with houses and magic levels.
Bill G says
Above all, I love the writing of the pseudonymous Ilona Andrews. In the Hidden Legacy stories I’m greatly enjoying the action, the learning about what is behind the evil plot against the present social structure, Nevada gradually realizing that Mad Rogan is much more than the public image he’s been given, and much more.
Margaret Priest says
Nevada’s family, esp her grandma. Obviously very different from Kate!
seantheaussie says
The tension between their genetic interests and attraction.
Danica says
Nevada!
Angela says
Nevada is amazing! I love that she is an emotionally healthy woman with a strong family bond. She’s great in many other ways too, but this makes her stand out (awesomely) from most other heroines.
No need to enter me in the giveaway. Thank you for all your fabulous writing!
Stephanie M. says
I love the relationship between Rogan and Nevada. I like seeing how Rogan’s persona changes when focused on Nevada versus other characters. I especially appreciate how he gets even more intense with his personality and powers if there is something threatening Nevada.
I also love seeing the different types of magic within Nevada’s family and how it is developing.
Carla Kennedy says
What’s not to love about this series? I love the strong characters, their very different family experiences, and the way they are developing with each other. The dynamics are great and their exchanges are awsome. Their wierd normality in this urban fantasy world is fantastic. I can’t wait for the release!
Rachel B says
I love the world that you’ve created – it has so much depth to it. I also love the relationships between the characters- Nevada and her family and Nevada and Rogan. I love this series ?
summer says
How Nevada maintains boundaries, even when being deeply in love! Your series (all of them!) are ones I have earmarked for my daughter when she’s older.
Karen B says
Can you image, have a room where you can pull up the ladder and no one will bother you? I love that and the whole complex that Nevada and her family live in. So much space but still so near your family.
Lisa S says
Like so many others, I love Nevada’s family and how they interact with each other. There is no doubts about the love each has for all the others.
Lorriand says
This series is top of my list of things to read! Can’t wait to start!
Chris Prochaska says
I have always liked (in most of your series not just this one) that the main character has some secret power to them that at least at the start makes everyone underestimate them. Then later on they let a bit of it out and suckerpunch someone. That moment of confusion when the secret comes out is always so sweet.
Tina says
I love the Baylor family. They fight and bicker like no body’s business but they always have each other’s back.
Tiffanie says
If I had to pick one favorite it would be Nevada’s family dynamics. Love the series and world building. Can’t wait to read it. I’m always exhausted at work on Tuesdays as I stay up Monday night waiting for it to pop up on the kindle. Then of course, it’s just one more chapter. Next I know it’s 5am and I guzzle coffee to make it through the day.
MICHELLE says
I love the fact that the damsel in distress can not only save herself but the hero as well. Great role models are your best gift to readers.
Alison B says
Rogan. Always Rogan. The way he flusters Nevada.
Lisa D says
Already read White Hot twice, bought the audible this morning to listen to during my solo 7 hour drive… kept thinking how sad I will be if WildFire is the end of the series?
Tiffany Clary says
I have to say the part where Nevada punches Adam is probably one of the most satisfying parts of the book. Especially when Rohan has to pull her off of him.
Jason says
I love the how the supporting characters are given such love that you cant wait till they come back.. “pictures or it didnt happen”
Rachel B says
I love the world that you’ve created – it has so much depth to it. I also love the relationships between the characters- Nevada and her family and Nevada and Rogan. I love this series ?
Alysha says
I love how seemlessly Ilona and Gordon integrated a world where people have magic with our modern world today. But beyond that, I love the Baylor family and the unconditional love and support they have other. And of course, Nevada and Rogan are two amazing, strong, and well-developed characters with absolutely explosive chemistry.
Jessica says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is that everything about this world is so truly believable that I become so engrossed in the story I forget it’s not real everytime I read it. My kids are dirty, my house is probably trashed and my husband may have my divorce papers, but I’ll deal with that when I resurface. Thank you for the vacation from reality!
Beth says
I love the humor mixed with action. Oh, I also really love Rogan… Yummmmm!
Angeline Kumeroa says
My favorite thing is all the funnies and humor throughout this series, makes me snort with laughter causing my partner to look at me sideways lol
Jennifer Barrett says
Can’t wait to read this series!
Natalie Haigh says
All of it! Seriously though, the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. While Rogan is insanely off the charts powerful, it doesnt stop Nevada from standing her ground as she is confident enough in herself to know where her moral lines are. And this comes from the background of her loving family (who are all pretty awesome themselves). Rogan has the wounded uber bad boy vibe but its from a driving need to protect his found family that he has created with his employees.
I cannot wait for wildfire and fingers crossed that there are more books in this universe.
Nikki Sturtevant says
Here,here. More, please!!
Dawn stewart says
I love the characters, main and ancillary. The banter is always hilarious and the writing is fantastic.
Bev Clarke says
I love the family interactions….embarassment, frustrations, love, loyalty…
Liz H. says
One of my favorite things about this series (and your others) is that the female protagonist is always just as powerful (if not more powerful) as her male counterpart.
Thanks for the giveaway, I can’t wait to read the finale!
kitkat9000 says
Picking one thing is impossible so I’m going with three:
First and foremost are the Baylor family dynamics. The love and acceptance are apparent even when disagreeing with each other.
Secondly, the evolution of Nevada’s & Rogan’s relationship. What started as adversarial is becoming a partnership, watching them grow together is a delight.
Third, Nevada’s growth as a magic user & Rogan’s pride in her ability and strength.
aalmcmullen says
I love the family dynamic and humor!
Christina Saunders says
I love the amount of emotion you manage to convey. When I’m reading your books, I feel what they’re feeling. That is an amazing and truly beautiful gift. Counting down the days till I’m curled up on my couch reading Wildfire! ?
barbie doll says
My favorite thing is the family dynamics
RC says
My fav thing about this entire series is the family dynamic with Nevada. It brings such a unique flavor to the books, especially when most novels have the heroine with a complicated or downright dysfunctional family relationship. Her love for her sisters and family really makes her stronger and you know her motives are pure even if the end results aren’t quite what she wanted.
Julia Elrick says
I love the world you build and the amazing characters that you create – hidden legacy’s big messy family is my favorite thing.
Gail says
The series is just so compelling! I have never re-read a book so frequently before Burn for Me, and did the same with White Hot. I have bern like a preschooler with a ‘Frozen’ dvd.
Gail says
Been. Ha ha ha ha ha
Tamara says
My favorite thing? The hint that there are 5 Primes in this family and partially due to a “dud” of a father. Perhaps duds aren’t useless in this world after all.
hollis says
the siblings!! the cousins!! just.. all the Baylors. the entire family in every scene, every situation, every dynamic. just absolutely brilliant and wonderful.
Stewart says
Honestly, I love the family byplay. Especially the tank-driving grandma moments 🙂
Anita Fisher says
For me it is definitely the magic and the organization in form of houses, giving family dynamics a whole new meaning. I do hope that the third book will not be the last!
Jenny Trainor says
Favorite thing about Hidden legacy is the gradual sexual tension. Like how the romance between the character builds and he main character doesn’t hop into bed with some dude after 10 pages.
Caitlin says
I love the dynamic between Nevada and her family.
Emily P says
My favorite thing is the relationship, the emotional turmoil, and the family dynamics!
Emily P says
*Favorite things are… I changed my mind and added more at the last minute, then never changed the beginning to match!
Rachel Jhi says
I love the layers in this series, and how you think things through. The characters are complex, the world is complex–it’s logical, fascinating, and /real/, without being overwhelming or presenting me with too many things I have to commit to memory in order to follow the books. I enjoy the interpersonal aspects of course, the friendships, enmities, and romance, but for me it’s really the thrill of discovery that does it.
Bevans says
My favourite thing about Hidden Legacy is that this magical world is so well described and explained that I can imagine it in my mind. So after a crappy day at work I can drive home and pretend I live in that world for awhile.
Tine says
I like the way Nevada doesn’t just run straight into a relationship with Rogan but makes sure they are at least somewhat one the same page first. And I love that there are so many strong supporting characters and such fascinating worldbuilding.
Monique says
I love grandma Frida because she’s feisty, deadly and independent but a total love bug. I want to be here when I grow up.
Amy Riggs says
I, too, love that HAHA sucka! moment that the underestimated female character gets when she pulls her whammy superpower out of her back pocket and casually tosses it out there like, oh, this thing? And the holy crap, where did the underdog sister’s powers come from??!! Blew. My. Mind. Every book.
Tiff says
Grandma Frida.
Joette Wisnieski says
I Agree.i love grandma and that she names her tanks
Kelsey Jones says
I love the banter throughout the books. One of my favorite parts is when Nevada is looking in the mirror and Rogan asks her what she sees and Rogan tells her he sees a prime. That was amazing.
Jody says
My favorite thing has to be Nevada’s rational thought process clashing with her emotions and how she deals with it when it comes to Rogan. She’s clearly a strong character that a lot of people could aspire to.
Jay says
My fav things about the series are the world building, the supporting characters, the antihero and how can anyone not love Ninja Ferrets!
Ana says
The supporting cast. The kids, grandma, Bug –everyone is so much fun.
Eliza says
My favourite things about The Hidden Legacy series would have to be the strong relationships Nevada has with her family and how she is protective of her siblings but also understands how they need some independence as well. I also love the snippets of humour all throughout the books which liven up the more serious aspects of the story and which make it a series to read when I need comforting.
Jilly Bean says
It’s all in the details. A truly great author will enrich a story with details. This may sound easy, but it’s easier to bore the reader or trip up the flow of the narrative with details then to enrich. Ilona and Gordon use details to give the characters and the story a depth that allows us, as the readers, to truly connect.
BreRose says
I love how quirky the Baylor family is mixed with ex-military. Reminds me of my family.
Marissa Haora says
ALL of it, the world building, the romance is awesome! 🙂
Olya says
I love how strong Nevada is, and what a great relationship she has with her family. I am also enjoying discovering more about Connor!
Nikki Sturtevant says
I love Grama Frieda. She is how I envision myself 40 years from now. I also love the journey of Rogan and Nevada coming together. I love Nevada’s family. I loved the Mar family in the edge books too.
Mistfox says
I love the world building, the way the magic system is set up, and how well the characters are developed. But I really love the interactions between Rogan and Nevada!
Judith Bennett says
I absolutely love the Hidden Legacy Series and all of the characters that are created by the talented Ilona Andrews. The books are both compelling and compulsively readable. Nevada Baylor and Connor “Mad” Rogan are sooo meant to be together and finally get there thru a fast-paced mix of adventure, comedic moments, and seductive romance. If you’re a fan of the urban fantasy/romance genre and have any question at all about whether this series is worth your time, the answer is emphatically yes! Am anticipating an awesome finale in Wildfire.
Kyles says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is just how strong the females in Nevada’s family are, and how much Rogan appreciates Nevada just the way she is.
Vivian says
Like others have said I love the family interactions and how they all have each other’s backs and try and take care of each other. I also love how she has the will to take care of herself and her family
Susan Shaw says
My favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series is that Nevada strives to keep in touch with her 3 rules of business. I like the 3rd rule best. At the end of the day, you have to be able to live with what you have done.
Kat Irvine says
I love how Rogan just seems to laugh at Nevada everytime she gets preachy about primes!
Laura Barr says
Grandma why don’t you knit? 🙂
Shannon cook says
I absolutely love this series! If I have to pick one fav thing, it would be Nevada herself. She is a terrific main character–one that keeps my interest and makes me reread.
Celina says
Oh goodness! What do I not love about the Hidden Legacy series? I suppose one of my favorite things about the series is that it is set in Houston, my current hometown. I get a huge kick out of reading about Nevada driving on streets I have been on or visiting buildings I have been in. It really makes the story come more alive as I can visualize everything so vividly.
Melissa says
I love the personalities. Everyone is an individual. I can picture everyone of them in real life. I also like the way that Rogan and Nevada’s personalities match each other. They don’t seem to fit at first but the more you find out, the better they are. The glimpses of Rogan’s thoughts are especially great at demonstrating that.
Bibliovore says
My favorite part of the Legacy books?The people interaction, especially Nevada’s family, that makes it all so real to me. I can just visualize them all when they fight, react, and talk back.
Kat says
Love all your books but the characters are all so interesting you want to read about all of them.
Thank you for what you do!
Susan B says
The fact that the characters are so well written that they are real people to me, who I would love to have as friends and would fit right in with my other friends and family.
Kelly L says
Specifically, my favorite thing is the bus. Many times I have hoped an annoying character would get hit by a bus, and you guys surpassed it by hitting someone *with* a bus. 🙂
More generally, I’m always drawn in by the world building and humor in all of your stories.
Leia says
My favourite part of Hidden Legacy is the Baylor Family. I think that the original magic families from the 19th century were like the Baylors, tight-knit family first motto. In the ensuing decades, it went from families to mini dynasties and the accompanying political jockeying. It will be interesting to see how the Baylor family handles becoming a House.
Rebecca Shniderman says
The banter between between Rogan and Nevada! I can’t wait for this book! Thank you!
Morgan Monahan says
I have not read this series yet, but would LOVE to!!!! Didn’t even know about it until now
Ashleigh says
I love everything about the hidden Legacy series. It has a wonderful sense of humor, tons of action scenes plenty of mystery. The character dynamics are also amazing. I cannot wait to read what happens next. If I had to pick my favorite part of Hidden Legacy it would probably be how amazingly close-knit the Baylor family is. I love how they always have each other’s back and would do anything for each other.
Maria Lourdes Buhay says
What I love about the Hidden Legacy series is how family always comes first. Its not all the warm and fuzzy reasons but also shows the manic lengths some families do for power and prestige.
Rosanne says
My favorite thing about the books are that it came out one chapter at a time, a week apart, and free. I am a binge reader and it was torture. I think it turned into a frustration/reward situation. I think I learned something new about myself. Then when they finally published, I binge read them a couple times.
Lorraine Sloan says
The Hidden Legacy story has so many good things going for it. Rogan and Nevada are archetypal male and female in the best way. Ethical, tough ( or as my 1960s 4th grade teacher would have said possess great intestinal fortitude), loyal, emotional and pragmatic, loving and motivated to make their place in a corrupt power structure.
I love the quirks of the characters as they develop. I love the family stories and the insight they provide into the various family members. The fierce loyal to family whether blood kin or chosen oath kin makes these people engaging and very human. I want to read many more books about this world and the paths taken to balance the nature of people toward excess in relation to magical with the not so magical.
Go team Andrews!!!
Cas Coates says
I haven’t read them yet but the first two in Hidden Legacy arrived this week from Book Depository – looking forward to them! ?
Cath says
I love the series. But I don’t have just one thing. The family dynamics are wonderful. The romance between Nevada and Rohan are great. I especially love the humor throughout the books which has me either laughing or giggling at times. The animal characters are fun. Can I take Sarg. Teddy home with me?
I hope that at some time in the future you decide to create another set of books in the Nevada Baylor universe.
Barbara A says
Nevada and her family. I like it when family members talk to each other and respect other opinions. I also really like the way Nevada handles Rogan. He’s a guy so he’s bigger and physically stronger. He has more money. But I always feel like she’s really the stronger one.
Nancy says
I both love and hate the way the stories grab my entire attention. Ilona and Gordon’s world is so well crafted you have no moments of disbelief. And the hatred is that when you reach the end it is over. Can’t wait for the new book and I know I will devour and then feel sad at the end because I am finished and there is no more.
Caroline says
There are many, many things that I enjoy about the Hidden Legacy series….. Given that the authorlords requested a favorite (singular), it has to be the fact that they have indicated that the series may be expanded beyond a trilogy, subject to sales. More Hidden Legacy! This would be my favorite thing…. (am I the only person who had a flashback to Julie Andrews trilling ‘these are a few of my favorite things’ when writing my Comment to this post? A bit weird given that I am not particularly a Sound of Music fan…).
Phil says
I like the worldbuilding a ton – learning about the different types of magic is always really interesting to me.
As an unrelated note, you mentioned that you’re going to be at SDCC. Is there any chance that Wild Fire will be available for purchase there, since it’s just a couple of days before the release?
Wildwhuck says
My favorite thing about the series is how Rogan respects Nevada. He doesn’t try to put her in a box to keep her “safe”. He recognizes her talents not just the magical ones. I also love Nevada’s commitment to her family.
Susan says
My favorite thing about this series are the interesting stories of all the family members. It makes Nevada so much more dimensional and gives us additional storylines that we are so impatient to follow. What is Arabella’s power!?
Julie Meikle says
The world they live in, it’s fascinating to find out what abilities exist and I still can’t wait to see what Nevada’s sister can turn into!
Ellen Lincourt says
I adore how the characters are going through an arc of emotional growth. Rogan is obviously having to become more vulnerable for Nevada to trust her. Nevada is having to embrace her power and come out of hiding so that she can be with Rogan.
Ahana Rao says
I love the Hidden Legacy series because it speaks about family, loyalty, struggle, love and faith the way I see it.
Katherine Frear says
I think the most amusing thing for me is that every time she gets home, kicks off her shoes and thinks about sitting down and having a drink, someone turns up. This is like me most days haha. I also love that you both (yes you, wonderful authors) create such wonderful (and different) magical worlds for us all to enjoy. Thank you 🙂
Serah says
My favorite thing (besides Navada and the gang) is the world they live in. It’s so interesting and exciting! If I have to be in a world and live through all the bullshit and conflict, I’d take the one filled with magic anyday ?
Rhiray says
I loved the interactions between the Baylor family, especially between Nevada and her mother. This is the first case Nevada has had to make a stand. You can feel the love Penelope has for Nevada as well as the conflict about letting Nevada do what she feels is right.
Gary H says
I enjoying learning about the magical powers and how the different levels have different limits. Learning about this system of magic is the best part in these types of series (i.e. LE Modesitt’s Recluce).
The political intrigue is also very interesting!
Omar Mtz says
Other might have mentioning it, but I LOVE THE MAGIC and all the different type of magic users that appear in this series. Most of all i liked how the this world’s magic came to full extend by a serum; also how much magic has power over the decisions in this world.
Just MAGIC.
Tina Bartz says
One of the main things I love about the Legacy series is the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. I love how Nevada handles Rogan firmly and with patience, despite his protective tendencies. And, Rogan is awesome. A scary, strong man who has a soft spot for family and friends?
Yes, please!!!!
LucyQ says
Gaaah! Just one thing?! If I have to pick one I would say family loyalty. The Baylors are awesome and if I can’t be in their family, I would want them for neighbors (maybe, with lots of insurance). But I also have to say- NINJA FERRET HEIST! And I can’t wait to read more about Sgt. Teddy. Thank you!
Ms. Kim says
love the back-story/vignettes of all of your side characters, but I particularly like Troy Linman. I was so happy to see him again in White Hot. Every aspect of the Hidden Legacy trilogy is so well developed that you want to read about all of the assemble members. I guess a character actor would say any part in these stories would be a meaty role.
Tara says
The characters are definitely my favorite.
Carolin says
What I love the most about Hidden Legacy? As everyone is saying, it’s so hard to choose! Just like with all of your writing, I love the character (and relationship) development shown, the overall cohesiveness of the storyline, but also the small hidden details you only really grasp when you reread the books (which I do often while waiting for the next book to be released). What I love most in Hidden Legacy is the Baylor family. Their relationships, their genuine love but also all their flaws, it’s really easy to feel like a part of them!
And a bonus of what I hate about Hidden Legacy: the release date of Wildfire is 2 days before my Statistics Final – how am I supposed to study then?!
Sandy says
It’s so hard to pick one thing. I love Hidden Legacy because of the strong characters, the interplay between the family, and the world is just so great. The writing puts you there at the kitchen table with the family in a hodgepodge connected warehouse made home. Its not just one thing. Its the characters, the world and the writing.
ShelleyL says
How much do I love the hidden Legacy series? Let me count the ways… Nevada is a witty, strong, independent heroine and is not a damsel in distress. She doesn’t need Rogan to rescue her. But she does realize that they can accomplish so much more as a team. I wasn’t very fond of Rogan at first but his character grew realistically and he became a partner that Nevada deserves. His loyalty to his people is admirable. And I truly love reading about the idiosyncrasies of Nevada’s family! Their interactions are humorous and loving. I know despite all of the obstacles they must overcome. He will come through in the end stronger than ever. Definitely hope the series will continue so we can hear more stories about this incredibly fascinating world full of magic yet grounded in realistic and appealing characters.
Kimberly says
I love the family interactions. The females are such strong characters! I could (and have!) read these books multiple times and always discover something new. Looking forward to Wildfire!
Katrina says
Honestly, I think my favourite thing about the series so far is the ferret heist. I also just love the way Nevada’s family interacts amongst themselves.
Renee O. says
The Hidden Legacy series just captures my imagination. The characters are developed so fully that you can see them in your mind. You become invested in the character’s lives and then you can not put the books down because you have to find out what is going to happen next. The Hidden Legacy series has the trifecta – incredible characters who aren’t perfect, but awesome; a storyline that gets better with each page, and a fully developed world to immerse yourself in.
Samantha says
My favorite thing about this series is the world building. It’s not like anything I’ve read before and quite honestly I wonder where the idea cane from. I also love that the character building is amazing.
Heather Arnould says
I love Nevada and how she doesn’t let anyone truly intimidate her. Go Girl Power.
Tiffany T says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the interactions between the unique characters, they stand strong on their own but together they are even stronger. And grandma I really love grandma and her tanks
ready to read says
This is a weird combo but I love Grandma and Teddy the bear and the tinkering in the garage.
Can’t wait for the new one…. soon.
miscanon says
I really like the world building. Like the Kate Daniels world, it was our world until it wasn’t, and usually it’s our world with hidden magic or it’s our world but magic has always been there, both of which are, I think easier to accomplish? It’s easier on my willing suspension of disbelief. Like, if magic existed (openly, anyway) history would be different, and we wouldn’t be in the same place as today. And having magic being hidden makes sense, but it’s way more common. Also, while Mercy Thompson is still the character I most want to be like When I Grow Up, Nevada is pretty kick ass, and it’s nice to see her family interactions.
Kay says
I love the fact that it’s set in Houston (my home town ^_^), and I am constantly mentally mapping where she’s going. I love to see what kind of things changed because of magical interference (Jersey Village was hilarious!). More than that though, is the character dynamics and the fact that even the supporting and minor characters have vibrant, realistic personalities. It’s like watching a movie in my head. I have 3 brother and 2 sisters and the relationship Nevada has with her family reminds me a lot of my own. Even if they annoy the hell out of you, you can’t live without them, and god help the idiot who tries to mess with any one of us.
GWEN says
My favorite thing is Nevada’s family and how they interact with each other. That being said Mad Rogan is pretty amazing too!
Kate says
I love your independent female leads who do what needs to be done to get the job done even when it’s hard. I also like the sibling antics like the wedding photos.
Janet Dow says
I like that Nevada is independent and loves her family more than power.
Susan Mullins says
Your stories are engaging. I look forward to learning to learning more about Leon arabella and Catalina.s powers. Is what Bernard does magic or brain s. How will the evilgrandmother situation resolve. Yes it’s a romance, it one with dimensions thank you lions and Gordon. Your writing has captured
Diana says
My favorite part of the books are the characters
Amy Dandrade says
I love the way family is the most important thing. She really isn’t interested in the idea of finding a spouse so she has super magical kids. It’s all about the connection.
Steph Neal says
I LOVE the world, the magic and of course Nevada! 🙂
Vanessa says
I love Nevada’s Grandma she is kick @$$. Lol
JT says
I like that Nevada is not a pushover and that her actions and decisions are reasonable.
Meghan says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy is probably the way the fun magic system and the fun politics intersect! I also enjoy the detective aspect.
Bart Sears says
I can’t narrow it down to just one thing, so will have to go with two:
1) Worldbuilding- It is fascinating reading about the magic system you have set up.
2) Character development: Even the minor characters are interesting. You could write a side story on almost anyone in the books and I would want to read it.
Bart Sears says
PS: Congratulations on the 5 Stars from RT!
Kathrine P says
I have yet to read the Hidden Legacy as of yet. I did, however, just purchase the first in the series and cannot wait to devour it. If it is even remotely as intricate and interesting as the world building, magic system, and character building as Kate Daniels (which is my favorite series and the series that introduced me to the fantastic genre that is urban fantasy), then I know I am going to love it as well.
Denise Rand Huebner says
I love how Nevada and Mad Rogan interact. Even though she’s very independent she’ll still turn to her family to help. I also love how the story just draws you in.
Laura Young says
I think her grandmother is great!
Tracey Thompson says
I love the incredible works building, well developed characters, and the humor. The world building is seemless and plausible. The explanations are woven into the story without feeling like a lecture. Thee characters have flaws that make them believable and likeable. I can’t wait to see where you’re going with Cornelius. As always, you blend in humor that has me laughing out loud.
Jennifer O'Brien says
Your world building makes magic believable and the Baylor family dynamic gives me all the feels but the magic sex steals the show.
Veronica says
I like Nevada. She is so strong, a great character.
DianainCa says
I think one of my favorite parts of Hidden Legacy books is the family. I like that Nevada’s is so supportive of one another and how Rogan seems to be making is own family. I could rave about a lot of different things to these books, but I keep coming back to family. Sort of a “One for all, All for one” type thing.
Hannah says
I like that it is unexpected. Its a new world which is enjoyable in itself but I enjoy the characters, they are unique and show personal growth.
Fiona says
What I love most about the Hidden Legacy series is the weird amount of chill in it. Even though there’s tons of action and the books are well-paced, with something new or something consequential always happening, there are also lots of brief, quiet moments where the characters just hang around being themselves. They nag each other, exchange jokes, worry about stuff, *talk* to each other. It’s not just running around after some McGuffin or angsting over thwarted feels; those things happen (and I enjoy them a lot!), but everything else that happens on the margins of the big moments is given a good amount of time.
I could go on at some length, to be honest– there’s so much I love about this series in particular. It feels like you and Gordon basically distilled my favorite romance and urban fantasy cliches into cracky, delicious book form. I like the Kate Daniels and the Innkeeper series a lot too, and have reread both of those a couple times, but the Hidden Legacy is where I go when I just want the purest rush.
Fingers crossed for luck 😀
Amy says
So many things that I love. I love the characters, the twists and turns, and the writing.
Sammy says
I love the amount of attention and detail that has gone into the world building and all the different types of magic shown. Theres enough in there to make a reader actually think about and imagine eveeything instead of just reading on autopilot.
Thanks for the amazing read!
Kimmelane says
Wow. My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy? I love the strong female characters and the wonderfully thought-out and detailed worldbuilding, but most of all I love in Hidden Legacy the same things I love in Innkeeper and Kate: the values that the protagonists live by. Nevada, like Deena and Kate, is strongly family-oriented, intensely loyal, and willing to battle to the end for what she believes. Rogan, like Sean and Curran, is powerfully masculine but deeply scarred; yet he lives by the same values. I read and re-read these books over and over. Endless thanks, Ilona and Gordon!
JR says
I like that Navada always thinks about family, is surrounded by family, and never alone in her adventures. Plus Rogan (with a hallo kitty t-shirt) is pretty hot!
Miche says
I love Bug. His manic behavior reminds me of my brother, and I just love how he lives in the strangest places even though he could work for a House/Corporation and make a ton of money but he doesn’t want to do that, until Rogan. All of the side characters add an amazing depth to the story as welll as comic relief.
Jaime robinson says
I love the way I am just sucked into the world of Nevada and Mad Rogan. The characters and the setting are so well written it’s like they are alive to me. And that’s how I rate a good book. By how even after the book ends I’m still wanting to pick it back up to see what’s happening In their lives and then I’m sad all over again when I realize there’s no more to read.
Delicia says
I like the family dynamic-that their close and even the cousins are seen as siblings and everyone opinions are at least listened too-nice to read where the heroine is not broken due to her childhood or having a nasty family
KatFish says
So much to love about the series…
The world, close family ties, the development of Nevada and Rogan’s relationship, the emotional growth of Nevada, to name a few things!
Jet says
I love the world building – different than ours yet familiar. And of course the hot romance.
Mary says
I love how naturally the progression is. I love Nevada’s family dynamic and how everyone is there for each other, the strong female lead and the growing relationship with Mad Rogan, and waiting to see how Nevada and his relationship grows.
Debbie Richardson says
Rogan, duh!
Milee Schranz says
I love the family dynamics– Nevada knows the good, bad and ugly about herself and her crew and does all she can to be happy with them in an equally imperfect world. While also willfully downplaying her (and their, I think) magical power. She doesn’t want the politics and danger of being a prime-or being with a prime except Rodan is so tempting! And mostly I LOVE that I get my hands on this book soon!!! One way or another!
Milee Schranz says
Darn auto correct! **. Rogan
gracefulegg says
I really like the humor in a world building those together make this an excellent series. But what I don’t like is that every time I get a copy of the book one of my friends takes it and never returns it. It is just too good.
Sarah Llewellyn says
I love the amazing different kinds of magic.
Kathleen says
I love her family they are all such wonderful characters.
BrianK says
I love the many varied uses of magic.
Melissa H. says
I cannot wait to read this one!! Rogan is such a humorous mixture of smug and wary, definitely one of my favorite male characters!
Cathy says
I love the abilities in this world. How there are all of these different and unique types of powers and how, with practice, people can do different things with it. Team of laundry breaking ferrets anyone? 🙂
Skye says
There are many things to love in the Hidden Legacy books, but I think the one that tickles me most is Grandma and her social networking, wanting photos and video from Nevada to post on Twitter and Vines.
Amanda Painter says
I’m sorry but when you say something you love about it how is that a fair question? The only answer I can give is that I love it all. It is great and I am hooked. Good luck to all even though I would love a copy.
strangejoyce says
There are SO, SO many favorite situations, scenes,, characters and parts of the world (history of the serum) that makes this question difficult to answer without writing a mini book. To narrow it down though …
1. I love each and every single reference/scene about Rogan as a dragon in both books. Especially when he figures it out.
2. The BFM scene with Peaches going splat. Priceless!!
3. In BFM when Rogan criticized Nevada’s circle drawing—Nevada’s reaction, ha!
4. The ninja ferret heist in WH. Pure gold!
Bree Urban says
I always love your world building. It is thorough, deep and always holds together logically. So, I couldn’t say I love the world building of Hidden Legacy any more than the world building in your other stories.
I think what I like best about this series is Nevada’s loving family. I like the contrast between how rich Nevada and her family’s lives are in terms of love and personal connections, even though they just manage to scrape by economically, as compared to Rogan’s materially luxurious but ultimately empty life. To make a haphazardly thrown together warehouse dwelling a more welcoming home than a Zorro mansion is genius. I totally believed that Cornelius would rather move himself and his daughter into the warehouse for a week than the mansion. At the same time, though, the story does not romanticize poverty. The series is straight up about the disadvantages and problems people face when money is a constant worry. I appreciate that honest portrayal.
I strongly feel that the only true meaning in life comes from love and family. While that theme is certainly present in some of your other works, I think it is at the dead center of the Hidden Legacy series. So, I guess my favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is that central theme.
Emily says
I agree wholeheartedly.
Amber says
Each book is elegabtly crafted that I don’t want to put it down. Then I have to read it again. It holds up to multiple readings & doesn’t get old.
Bethany says
I like the complex characters with strengths and weaknesses, including Rogan’s PTSD.
Erika says
What I love about Hidden Legacy is the development of the secondary characters. I loved learning more about Cornelius and his relatives, Grandma Frida and all the rest of Nevada’s family. It is the small things, like a family having “fried rice night” for dinner, that made everything so real. I enjoyed being able to emotionally relate to the characters in more normal, ordinary ways that went beyond the high-stakes action and adventure.
Corrina says
I love the romance. Rogan is so Alpha and he seems to think Nevada can read his mind. I love how she’s not afraid to stand up to him. How she sticks to her principles. How real her emotions are but then I love all of Ilona’s heroines.
Jennifer says
The irony of Nevada being a Prime!
CK says
It will take me forever to read these comments!
The thing I like best about the Hidden Legacy series is the banter. You guys really have a gift for writing dialogue! It is both funny, and believable.
Can’t wait to get my hot little hands on this one!! I’m entering the giveaway even though I’ve already pre-ordered because I’m just that anxious to read it.
Thank you for all you do!!!!!!
Mary Coogan says
The characters are great. They’re smart, funny, strong, and support one another.
Cora says
The evolution of Nevada is one of the best characterization I’ve read
BevQB says
For me the most addictive part of Hidden Legacy is the world building and the way it is revealed to us. Combine the world building with such interesting characters and compelling story lines and it’s no surprise that I Immediately sink away from the real world when I start reading or listening.
Melissa says
I like that the women were soldiers! I love Nevada is coming into her power and the twist! The secret agent ferrets. Oh and Mad Rogan.
Carin says
I love your work.
Carin Baskin
Melinda Palmer says
I like the realistic character personalities.
Anita says
I love this new extremely conflicted magical world you’ve created that stars extremely powerful but relatable characters. And I really like the star characters as explained below.
Nevada is totally driven by her love of her wacky family and strong need to protect them. And I love that fact that though they are financially challenged they stand strong together.
I even like super rich and emotionally stunted Conner who, thanks to having a very dissfuctional family, has surrounded himself with a surrogate family of loyal employees but seems to want to be a part of Nevada’s family more than anything. Despite being scary powerful, he goes out of his way to do the right thing, by his way of thinking, for Nevada and other innocents. Unfortunately, Nevada’s right and Conner’s right don’t always match up.
I’m looking forward to reading more of their about them and their world in the next book with fingers crossed for a happy ending.
Ian says
Any scene with Leon, more Leon.
P.S. Em I the only one who wants to hear Leon narrate “Game of Thrones”?
Christina G. says
No, actually, you are not the only one ;-p
Magaly Ortiz says
Because every character is so different from the others, because I love the relationship Nevada has with her family and the building of the Nevada-Rogan relationship (that it wasn’t instalove, unlike many other books.
heidi says
I love the world building and Nevada’s relationship with her family
LindenEmry says
I love that you can identify with the character’s strengths and flaws. They come to life among the pages and draw you deeper into the story.
Dawn Anderson says
I like all the different talents that the characters have. I also like the unexpected humor that pops up through out the stories.
Rosalyn Nicoll says
The world building, the family dynamic – love it all!
Christina G. says
I love everything about Hidden Legacy, but what I love the *mostest* is TACTILE TACTILE TACTILE 🙂
Yolanda Lee says
I love that at the heart of the story it’s about family….oh, and Nevada’s mental dialogue and the banter between her and Conner is hilarious.
R. Butcher says
The beat part anoit this series for me is the pace with which information is released, while it is equally frustrating, the fact that we know next to nothing about 90% of the story makes it a very organic read.
Plus winning would be the best birthday present(7/26) since I read the first book when it originally came out 100 years ago.
Sandrine says
I love the power dynamics & hierachies of the Houses. Would love more books set in this world!
Ashean says
I love the world, Nevada, Rogan, Nevada’s family….. the abilities…… EVERYTHING
Liz says
I really enjoy Nevada’s family and their dynamic, how even though we don’t know everything about them, they still feel ‘real’ (not 2 dimensional). Also gotta love the racoon.
Sherre says
I like the family dynamic. Too often character’s parents are killed off or they have no living family at the beginning of a book. I love seeing the interactions. It’s awesome and sweet.
Starr Iraklianos says
I love this new world you all built.
MaryW says
The rapport Nevada’s family has is wonderful but so are their disagreements. Families squabble. but is an outsider causes a problem for one family member the others are supportive. I do like Nevada’s evolution or growth but Conner is also changing. He is at least concerning Nevada willing to change.
Leslie says
That’s like asking what your favorite part of a meal with filet mignon, alcohol, coffee, and chocolate might be. YES! Everybody loves the snark, both within and outside of your dialogue, the world-building, the character development, etc., etc. I like that you combine contradictory traits in interesting ways in your characters, and that no one with any significant role to play is one-dimensional. LOVE your more complex villains, and can’t wait to see what you do with Nevada’s OTHER grandmother. Thank you for the many hours of pleasure, and please keep it coming!
Liss says
I love the storyline, the fleshed out characters that develop throughout the stories, but the part I love most is the humour. Like in white hot, when Nevada and Rogan are fighting and he moves to the middle of the road. That whole scene. Amazing. Or in burn for me when mad Rogan gets a run down on the conception of Bern and Leon. I spat my tea reading it. Hilarious. Love everything you do, but this is my favourite series. I wish it could be like Kate Daniels and go for 10 books. I will be sad when it ends.
Christina Sherwood says
I love that Nevada is a strong, smart, snarky woman from a family full of awesome strong, smart, snarky women. Not alot of heroines out there like that.
Kathryn the almost Great says
My favorite parts of Hidden Legacy are the characters, especially Nevada’s grandmother and cousins. The way Nevada and Rogan meet, fight, and then change as they interact is wonderful.
Erin E says
Another great new world! So many thing to love. Nevada annoyance with primes at the start, Grandma has a tank,…
Kate Marshall says
It is almost too hard to find one thing to love about Hidden Legacy. Nevada is a ass-stomping hero, Rogan has a heart of (twisted) gold, and every family member has a secret and a code of ethics. Fun moment was the ninja ferrets. Well, technically, two ferrets and a ferret-badger.
Sam says
I like the family dynamic and banter. Also, the ninja ferrets were awesome 🙂
LaRae Sanfilippo says
I love that Nevada has principles and sticks to them. Her love for family and how they work together, is quite realistic.
MichelleA says
I love Grandma Frida shrnisnso sweet and yet kickass with her tanks.
Shruthi says
What I like about hidden legacy?
Well …if you have few days left to listen/read my avid gushing….
World building, primary and secondary characters with enough quirks and dimensions to make them real and unique, great storyline, kick-ass actions, humor, romance, steamy scenes….
You know you have great books when paperback versions are worn and bent due to repeated readings and most of pages have multiple highlights and sometimes it’s difficult to read (due to tapes, bad highlighters etc), you read on because you know the dialogues and yet you still want to read again and again.
I won’t bother you with my insane ways I read your books(all of them) as you just wanted to know what I liked in hidden legacy series. It is- ‘drum rolls please’- ALL OF IT.
P.S- I am one of your many international reader and I know you won’t be able to come to my city(heck, even the state), so can I get a signed book? I promise I will handle ‘that’ book with extreme care and save it for decades.
P.P.S- I am sending positive thoughts that I will win this giveaway. Please, please with lots of love and desperation, just select me
Evelyn S. says
I love the completeness of the Hidden Legacy world. Through Rogan and Nevada’s you understand how magic works and the political situation. You understand the importance and social consequence of rank. But most of all, I love that none of that matters to Nevada, because her family will always come first.
RACHEL says
Your writing style, from sentence structure and word usage to the pacing of your world building and the amazing characters, both major and minor, makes you my absolutely favorite author lord. Hidden Legacy is another example of your amazing talent and brilliant imagination. I love all of the Baylor’s with their diverse abilities and absolute devotion to each other as a family and not a House.
Shel says
I like the family dynamics, the world building of this series really appeals to me.
Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
Jennifer Kang says
My favorite part of the story is Nevada and her relationship with her family .
Kells says
This series is intricate with just enough punch at the right time to hold the reader’s attention. It is also well rounded, never dumping the enter weight of the novel on Nevada and Rogan alone.
I love that.
The world building catapults the imagination into a realm with endless possibilities. Little tucked-in notes of interest about this power or that house goes much further than long droning paragraphs that can dry out interesting plots.
Hidden Legacy series is one of my top picks and recommendations to friends. If my house was flooding, its the first thing that would go in the boat. The Fiancé can fend for himself…
Lynn says
Sure it’s a romance and Rogan is awesome, but my number one favourite thing about this series is how it’s grounded in other types of love – family (the kids are the ultimate in cute and the relationship between sisters is especially fantastic), friends (I personally consider it a squee that Nevada +2 friends in White Hot), and most importantly, self. Nevada can be a little insecure but I like how she tries to do things and be someone she can live with inspite of this. It’s clear she values her life, her independence, and over the series, she learns to love and be true to herself.
So yes love! Love for everyone 🙂
Jessica Perry says
Ohhh, I have to choose? SO much goodness! Let’s see. I think the interactions and relationships between Nevada and her family are my favorite. With about a zillion things coming in second… Thanks for doing this!
Ginkgo-girl says
Hmmm. My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy? Ninja Ferrets!
Lisa Lynn says
I have greatly enjoyed this series so far and I am looking forward to the next one.
Lisa Lynn says
My fac thing though is the grandma with the tank!
Kari vo says
I love the sense of humor so many characters display.
Keren Harris says
The incredible pacing of the story, the wonderful secondary characters, and the use of animals. It is all super fantastic!!!
Kim says
Love the characters and the humor is the best! Can’t wait to read this book!
Madison Martin says
I know that the relationship between Nevada and Connor is a main feature in the series, but I think my favorite part is Nevada’s other relationships. Especially the ones with her family. Also, her grandma is great. I love her.
Jean Ludins says
Where do I begin? I love this series. Ultimately I’d have to say the family unit and how real you’ve made this world. I’m hoping for lots of spin offs!
Steph says
For some reason, I resisted reading Burn for me for a very long time, probably because it was just book 1 but I’m so glad I picked it up earlier this year. This is a fantastic read full of action and nuanced characters I love the way the story builds and who characters are devloped. I cannot wait until I can read Wildfire. So excited 🙂
Valerie tralongo says
Thank you for the world of Hidden Legacy! Nevada and Connor are their own whirlwind, and watching them grow together is a blast. Add in the fun of an entire world (with attendant consequences, castes, snobbery, and cool superpower-ish magic!!)…whee!!! More more more!!
Vani says
I love nevada’s family. Each character is so unique and loveable and they are hilarious together.
Nicole says
Nevada’s grandma, who likely founded the Prime-centric chatboards…
Tessa says
Own all the others–and I seldom buy books, working in a library. The world-building and characters of all the Andrews’ books is first-rate!
Kate says
The dynamic between Nevada and her family – it’s quirky, believable and fun
Kim S says
I loved every the dynamic between Nevada and her family not to mention Rogan!! Cannot wait!
,
Tam B says
Just one thing… that’s impossible – I love it all!
I guess I can sum it up by saying the writing. I love the interplay between characters and especially between Nevada and Rogan. So looking forward to this book.
Heather Zanella says
The best part of the Nevada books is the dialogue. I have had these same arguments with family members in real life…
Yna says
I love the all the powers. So unique!
Katina says
I love how real the world is, it’s so incredibly unique, and yet also so believable! And within this world you’ve created characters that draw you in so completely!
Darcy S. says
I loved finding out all about the actions Mad Rohan was taking behind the scenes to protect Nevada.
Ashley L says
My favorite thing about the series is that I havemy read it yet. I’m purposely avoiding it so when a long stretch of no new Ilona Andrews books are coming out I will still have new things to read. So I guess now is a good time to start haha.
Marcia Boswell-Carney says
Great characters, great action, great world building. Ding, ding, ding…the trifecta!
Tos Al says
The relationship between Nevada and her family. With a lot of characters in books I love the motivation comes from a dysfunctional relationship with their family and wanting to build something despite where they came from. Nevada’s motivation is to build up her family the same way they build her up. Now that I think about it her motivation comes originally from the dysfunctional relationship her father had with evil grandmother. It’s just a great book
Alex says
I wrote several responses before I settled on this one. I’m still not sure I’m settled, because I love this series for so many reasons. I love every character – I’m fascinated by their strange lives and how they interact with one another. I love that you ground your worlds in reality – no matter how fantastic the magic, the setting, the danger, these are people with ordinary wants and goals and dreams and hangups. I love the Baylors. They’re fantastic, I want to live in their warehouse. I’d camp out under the Hut of Evil (I’m short enough).
And I won’t lie – I love the sex. It gives me goosebumps. I often flip back and reread those scenes, because I hurried through it the first time and I don’t want to miss A SINGLE THING.
But my favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series is that it feels like an evolution of the Kinsmen. Silent Blade and Silver Shark blew me away. I read those stories a dozen times, and all I wanted was more Meli. Here, so much of the structure is similar – the Families, the inherited powers, the complex requirements of duty and honor, the twists of magic that take unexpected forms. I see the bones of that world in Hidden Legacy. And Hidden Legacy is it’s own beautiful place. But to me, it feels like a series I never expected to continue has lived on, and that really excites me.
Waiting for book 2 was almost torture, but was totally worth the wait. I am so excited to see where you guys go next!
Adele Gleason says
I like the Baylor family.
Emma says
I love discovering the different magic systems and how vivid the world is
Dara says
The relationships between Nevada and her family. I love how they play off of each other (with love, always with love!)
Nicole Wetherington says
Haven’t read it!
Mia Kathleen says
the obvious love the Baylor family have for each other (even though the younger “siblings” drive Nevada nuts, sometimes her mother and grandmother do as well though). It’s a wonder family to read about.
Rece says
I love grandma especially her questions. She reminds me of my own.
Alice Huang says
The ability to reread the books and always find something new!
Isabelomaski says
Why do I love thee (Hidden Legacy!)?
Let me count the ways…
I love Rogan, such an awesome antihero, he’s the epitome of badassery.
I love Nevada, such a kickass yet morally upright heroine. Her confidence in who she is and what she stands for is really refreshing.
I love Nevada’s family, such a quirky group of loveable misfits. All hail Grandma!
I love the witty banters between the characters, the Ilona Andrews signature that unduly compels me to read each book over and over again.
But my fave is probably the impressive word building– the magical history, the politics, the magical abilities, the rankings, the dynasties, I get goosebumps just thinking about such a captivating world. How do you guys even come up with this?
I can’t believe this awesome series is ending, can’t wait what team Andrews comes up with next! *insert heart eyes*
Ycaiah says
I love that you picked a power for Nevada that isn’t flashy, and at first glance, didn’t seem that it’ll be that impressive, or sought-after, or exciting. Especially not when she’s surrounded by people like Rogan, who can level cities, or Adam, who can create pillars of fire. How she has evolved and held her own, and in fact is shaping to be a force to be feared as much as any other Prime, is particularly enjoyable to read. Her power is so useful, in ways that a reader doesn’t see immediately but is introduced to gradually throughout the books, that despite the increasing introduction of various other Primes, I’m still most looking forward to reading about Nevada and her journey as a baby Prime.
Rachel says
I like how genetics and magic are connected. (Yay science.)
Britni Patterson says
My favorite thing is the family interplay of Nevada’s family. But a hair lower in second is Rogan’s tactile abilities. >.>
Laurie C says
My favorite thing about Nevada & Togan is he can’t lie to her and he doesn’t seem to have much of a problem about it to me.
Marisa Zanini says
The characters are real. The family byplay is wonderful. The opening up of the magical society universe is great. And it’s all fun.
Frances says
I love the Hidden Legacy series for several reasons: the internal consistency of the world building,the great dynamics in Nevada’s family, the developing relationship between Nevada and Rogan built on passion and respect , the humour and action in the stories.
However, as this giveaway requires me to name one favourite thing it would be the way the story is unfolding and building through the series, each seemingly small thing dovetailing into the whole bigger picture,e.g. 1: Nevada’s growing feelings for Rogan evidenced by him morphing from Mad Rogan in her mind in book 1 to Connor in private moments during book 2; e.g 2: Rogan showing his understanding that she values respect and truth in relationships when he immediately chooses to share the information from Bug re Nevada’s evil Grandmother being behind the attempt to purchase the mortgage.
I love the books in the Hidden Legacy series because, when I reread them, I discover new insights into the characters and story. Plus they are fun and full of action.
erinf1 says
watching Nevada and her family come into their powers and confidence. Aaaaand the Mad Rogan humanization thru luuuuuv 🙂 thanks for sharing! Got my preorder, so no matter what, I’ll get it!
Vivienne Cichero says
All the badass women in the series.
Amy H. says
I really like the thought put into building the world and how power and privilege are examined and challenged. I like that the Baylor family is really this hidden mega powerhouse that acts ethically because its the right thing to do.
Sammy says
Love the dialogue……..and the world building……..and the writing………and the dynamics between characters…….basically everything ?.
Amanda L says
It’s impossible for me to pick just one thing that’s my favorite. I love it all
Queenie Joy Bayawa says
Nevada’s inner monologue = best satire ever!
Genesis Garcia says
I love the world building and the way the relationships develop.
Cass says
The strength of the characters and seeing the relationship develop between Nevada and Rogan 😀
Wtwn says
The books have magic, action, and love all rolled into one beautiful series.
I also love Nevada’s family dynamics. They put each other first and I love that.
Janie McGaugh says
Great characters and their interactions.
Kristel says
I love Nevada and her family! Army tough Grandma and Mom are awesome. Perfect strong female role models.
Camille Thaw says
I love that Nevada’s friendship with Rogan is able to make him feel “alive” again…it brings out a nice mix between Connor and Mad Rogan.
Tania says
I love the world building in this series. It is so layered, so detailed, it makes the characters and their relationships viscerally real.
Anna says
I love the fun and humour in the dialogue! It’s just so delicious, I read it with glee!
Amber says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s relationship with her family.
Alexandria Tristram says
My favorite part is Nevada’s family. They ring true as actual people in an actual family, not too cute or too sweet, but still loving.
Roxanne says
The ferrets and the honey badger (or ferret badger) B&E is my favourite scene of White Hot. Sorry I forgot their names even though I only read the book last month. Thanks for hosting the contest.
Kristen Bozzelli says
I really like the magic in this world; a neat concept, expertly executed.
PRC says
What I like best about these books is even though it’s set in an alternative world, it seems so real and plausible so much so you really would love to live in that world. There’s humor, sadness, and a whole gamut of real emotions. Also, I love the realness of the characters as they’re presented “warts and all” so that you feel they’re not just characters in a book and the dialogue seems so real and natural it’s almost as if you’re listening in on people sitting next to you.
SarahZ says
I love the fact that Nevada’s family is so important to her, and that doesn’t change just because she met a mysterious, sexy guy. And that she’s good at her job.
Melina says
I love Nevada’s down to earth-ness, and Rogan’s coldness and his connection with her. I would love more Rogan’s POV.
Also, Augustine’s “Disney” moment made me smile. Thank you!
Rebecca A says
I like the combination of the plot and the deeper conspiracy mixed with intriguing characters, main and secondary.
Lydia says
What I like about this series is similar to what drew me into the Kate Daniels series: this is a very original take on a world with magic. The characters are all nuanced and not stale, at all! Another thing I adore is that the characters are not all white.
Davina Joshlin says
I love the way it is a mystery about everything like what powers people have and who is really involved in what. There are hints everywhere, but it still surprises me in the details.
April Guyton says
Ive read this over….and over….add about 40…ish more times for both books waiting for Wildfire!
I love Nevada but I have mad respect for her mother. Being Nevada’s sounding board and her strong foundation even as she keeps this dark secret about where her father’s home lineage is from is both admirable and heart wretching at the same time. I wonder how this family which is developing before us will deal with these new challenges. Totally looking forward to this end…and not really.sad to see this end!
Darlene says
I love Nevada’s relationship with her family and seeing more of the “real” Connor on page
Cherelle says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series has to be Mad Rogan. I love how he is so alpha, but not too obnoxious with it. I really love his and Nevada’s interactions. ?
Regina says
I’ve read the first book in the series and all of the snippets. My favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series is Nevada’s warmth, her ethics, and her close knit
family. Nevada is a strong female lead that is distincively different from the other female leads in the Authorlord’s universes. Her internal dialogue makes watching her world unfold a captivating experience. I like the way her interactions with Rogan reveal more of her changing world and the way she stays true to herself & her family through grit and determination. It’s got to be hard to say “No thank you” to a smoldering dragon!
charisN says
I love all the strong women in Nevada’s family and the theme of military service intelligently and realistically portrayed. Rogan is soooo hot too!
Kavanagh Koh says
The thing i love about Hidden Legacy is, well, everything. I love how Ilona Andrews manage to capture each character so well in their writing and bring to life. I love how well they were able to capture my heart throughout the books with just words. And most of all, i love the story, the chemistry between characters, the Baylor family, adorable Matilda, Connor and so much more. I am utterly in love.
Erin says
I love how you get invested in multiple characters!!
Christine Weidner says
My favorite thing about the series is the fascinating juxtaposition of non – magical (aka normal) society and the magical one and how you use Nevada and her family as the bridge to tell the complexities of both.
Erin says
I love this series! My favorite scenes are those where Nevada, Rogan and Augustine work together……I adore their banter and the way they get the job done despite their differences. I also love Nevada’s interactions with her family, and how protective she is of them. Soooo many awesome, multi-faceted characters in this series.
Allison says
I suppose my favorite thing about Hidden Legacy are the characters; I appreciate that Nevada and Connor stay true to their beliefs and their character throughout the story and their progression feels genuine. I also enjoy the family dynamics in the Baylor family and really enjoy Nevada’s grandmother.
Debbie B. says
It’s a bit difficult to say what my favorite thing is about Hidden Legacy, as they are well written stories. I always like sharp banter between the primaries, provides an audible chuckle, that husband then asks, “What?”, and then need to read the line(s) out, then he gives the same chuckle.
Christina says
I love grandma!
Eva says
The worldbuilding – all the different magics are so much fun. Also Nevada’s family – they feel so genuine in their affections.
(I hope my comment goes through only once – I had an error message the first time I tried.)
Zuleen says
My favourite thing about wildfire is how badass Nevada is, with her loyalty and love with her family. And also it always gives me the tingles reading about 2 people (especially one as hot as rogan) falling in love! Ooh my heart.
I’ll love anything written by the both of you anyways. So regardless of whether I win this or not, keep with your good work and remember you will always have an avid reader here! 😀
Christine T says
I love Nevada’s strong sense of self and the resulting commitment to her family and personal ethics. She’s someone to admire and someone you want for a friend – she’s loyal, funny, and smart. Not to mention she’s surrounded by kick ass family and friends.
LisaAlissa says
Really enjoyed the wonderful writing (no jarring spelling or grammar to distract from the story) and the really well done and distinctly drawn characters–both allowed me to sink into the story.
Looking forward to Wildfire!
sharon reeves says
I love Grandma in her yellow ducky pj’s driving her tank, Romeo
Megan says
Sgt Teddy!
Rebecca says
I love this series! I love everything but mostly the characters- how Nevada is with her family and how close they are and the interactions between Nevada and Mad Rogan
Paul Davis says
I love the detailed, well thought out world building. The story is superb, character development divine, but the consistent, imaginative world you’ve built is the framework it all hangs on.
emie p. dy says
There’s many things to love about the hidden legacy series but what I love most about it is that Nevada’s character isn’t changing in any way after meeting her match which is mad rogan, and also her bad ass and ass kicking journey from just by being Nevada to being a soon-to-be prime of her house. Anyway, thank you ilona andrews for writing this stories and I can’t wait to read the finale of the series, wildfire.
Eva says
I love how strong Nevada is.
Sherri says
I love Nevada’s extended family and the odd tidbits of alternative history that gets thrown in there.
Melissa C. says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the world, and the magic system in particular. I like how magic talents shape the different characters, and I like learning more about how the different talents are inherited (or not) and how it affects everyone’s daily lives.
ChrisP says
I love how close Nevada’s family is and how dedicated she is to them. A close second is Nevada’s insistence on respect and equal partnership in her relationship with Connor. Hopefully I’m not disqualified for having two favorite things. LOL!
Sue says
My favorite thing about this series? I love it all. I am amazed by the world building, the concept of Primes and the magic, Nevada’s family, Rogan and more. I really appreciated learning about Rogan’s history. The sense of loyalty and family he has mirrors Nevada’s with her own. Truly an absolutely intriguing, wonderful concept brought to life in these books. A glued to the page read for me so maybe that is my favorite thing. Very few books are just that good. Thank you.
Kaitlin says
There’s so much it’s hard to choose, but I love how Nevada knows her mind and has a strong core self, she doesn’t need a romantic partner to be “complete”. I also love the world building, this take on magic and its effects on society and history is enthralling. Last, how there are no “big misunderstanding” cliches and the like – Nevada and Rogan actually talk to each other.
…ok, for realz last one: I love the interactions between the Nevada’s family members, they are all so quirky, and fully-formed that I always enjoy spending time with them (and I usually earn some odd looks as I laugh to myself.)
Amber says
I have not read this part of the series. You have know idea how excited I am to get my hands on the first book.
Illona and Co are my go to for a great read. Can’t wait to see what else they put out for us.
Thanks for being the awesome writers you are!
Jackie H says
I love the world you have built with different houses and people’s abilities, but if I had to pick just one thing I would say the Baylor family especially Grandma.
Andrea Smith says
I love Nevada’s quirky family. I believe grandma Frida is my favorite, she loves to fan the flames. I enjoy the back and forth and bickering. But they come together when needed. Rogan, isnt off limits either. They understand his badassery but keep him in line.
Thanks for writing books with strong female characters. I want my daughter to embrace having a backbone.
Elizabeth Taylor says
I love the fact that these books are filled with smart, funny, honest characters. I really love the way veterans are portrayed. Not as victims, but as human beings with scars, some inside, some outside. Having been married to a combat vet for 14 years, I’m very aware of the way that they are portrayed in the media and I think that these books do a brilliant job of showing that they, just like everyone, are individuals.
Jessica Clevenger says
I love how well the detective/action aspects of this series are balanced with the family/romance aspects. Really, this something I love about all your books! The world building in this book is also great and I get sucked into the story every time I read it 🙂
Allan says
My favorite thing about the book are the times when Mad Rogan does over the top actions.
Spoiler from Burn for me
*
*
*
when he drops a bus on someone.
Most favorite thing in the world.
Briana B. says
I love the world building. The way you’ve imagined how society evolved with magic, and how the elite houses developed, and how the business and infrastructure of their world has been affected by that.
Glimpses of those complexities are what I love about the Kate Daniel’s series too. And the Edge books, and the innkeeper serials/books. They’re so rich and vibrant that they really spark my imagination.
Vanessa says
I absolutely love the Hidden Legacy series! My favorite thing about the books has to be the world building and character development. The kind of world, powers, origin/backstory is so unique and I love how relatable things about today’s world like social media has been seamlessly integrated into it!
I also love how all the characters buy especially Nevada and Rogan have developed both in relation to the overall story and each other.
Leslie Huang says
I love the Hidden Legacy series because Nevada is kick ass and doesn’t need a man. But she’s also strong enough to admit that Rogan is a good match for her. Can’t wait for Wildfire!!!
Jaime Woodring says
I love that Nevada stays true to her convictions, and that Rogan respects that.
Xiao Wen says
My favorite thing about the series is the family dynamics. Each family member has an awesome yet distinct personality, and their love for one another reminds me that there are still good things around.
emie p. dy says
There’s many things to love about the hidden legacy series but what I love most about it is that Nevada’s character isn’t changing in any way after meeting her match which is mad rogan, and also her bad ass and ass kicking journey from just by being Nevada to being a soon-to-be prime of her house. Anyway, thank you ilona andrews for writing this stories and I can’t wait to read the finale of the series, wildfire.
Jneuf says
I love Nevada’s strong family and their roles in Hidden Legacy. I especially like bad a?! Grandma
Caitlin S says
I love history of the prime families and the power combinations.
Penelope27 says
The Hidden Legacy Series is the best one to introduce UF to people who are not familiar with the genre.
Cynthia H. says
I love the matriarchy of the Baylor family and also the courageousness of Nevada. As well as her snarky attitude and fighting her attraction to Rogan.
Leslie says
So much to love about Hidden Legacy! I love the premise of magical family lines, and especially love Nevada’s family and the dynamics within. Love Rogan too!
Sasha Pasternak says
Ummmmm….hello…..ROGAN!
The end.
Kelly says
I love the way you two write. The world building is so complete and so subtle that you feel like you’ve always known this world. You explain things in this amazingly cohesive way that really creates a space that make sense for the characters to live in. And I love the social commentary that is seamlessly blended into the stories. Rogan almost beats Curran for top fictional alpha male, in my estimation. And I love Nevada!
Lisa says
I love Nevada’s point of view, and how strong a person she is. My favorite part of White Hot is when she realizes she might be the only person in Houston not afraid of Rohan!
Koryn Petrock says
My favourite part of Hidden Legacy is Nevada and Rogan’s relationship. Or just Nevada and her family’s solidarity. Yeah I can’t decide, so I’m going with two favourites.
Kim S says
I love Neveda’s interaction with her family!
Ellie says
My favourite thing about Hidden Legacy is the powers, especially Rogan’s powers! I know the first thing that comes to mind is his tactile power (LOL) but I cannot forget how he reduced that chopstick into little slivers in Burn For Me! Can’t wait for this book – please keep this series going I’m begging you! It has surpassed Kate Daniels in my heart and I don’t want it to end!
Rana tombs says
Your heroines are always so good. Nevada and her family are my favourite thing about the books. I also like that Rogan knows what he wants
Amanda I. says
I love Nevada’s family dynamics, how she’s so independent, and I really enjoy the interactions between Nevada and Mad Rogan. Can’t wait for Wildfire!
Cynthia Noji says
I love how there is mutual respect in the relationship between Nevada and Rogan — I also like how you can never take characters at face value; there’s always something beyond the surface.
Nicholi says
My favorite thing is the amount of detail you put into the characters lives, and universe.
For example, it is not enough to say that the kids are going to school:
In book one we get the answer to what Pierce and assc. up to because Burn had been leaning about it at school, and it happened to be a special interest topic for his professor at school.
And then later in book two Leon comes to Nevada with is home work. You don’t just leave it at “and I helped him”, you went into detail about the problem, why he was having troubles with it, and gave a solution. Even his actual homework was interesting and detailed. I enjoyed reading about “Smirnoff’s rubber band model.”
And.. finding out that Cornelius is descended from the pied piper… of Hamlin… I had no Idea that was the name of the town before reading this.
I love that no matter how fictional your stories are; they make senses. The Hidden Legacy series a shining example of both of your amazing talent.
I really, really love this series, thank you for writing it. 🙂
Annette Fitzpatrick says
My favorite part of Hidden Legacy is the sense of humor that pervades the family’s conversations. It is in their sense of family and I suspect it is something Connor needs to be a part of to heal some of his inner darkness.
Stephanie H. says
I love, love, love the family interactions. The scene where Nevada explains that she won’t fall prey to her sisters talent because she couldn’t love her any more says it all about this awesome family.
Jacki S says
My favorite part is that Wildfire is just the beginning of a whole new chapter in Nevada’s, and her families, new life.
Valerie says
My favorite scene in Burn for Me is when Nevada uses her magic actively for the first time and forces Rogan to answer her questions about the fire in the garage. Still hoping for a Rogan POV snippet from Gordon of that. My favorite scene in White Hot is when Nevada meets with Augustine in his office and shows him what it really means to be a Truthseeker Prime.
Nes Maret says
Because Nevada is Honest and never takes the easy road, even if it’s not the most convenient thing.
Jocelyn Malone says
I think my favorite thing would have to be Nevada’s family. She has one, and for all that it has realistic flaws, it’s a good one that she cares about and isn’t going to compromise about. So many otherwise wonderful heroines are alone in the world, or have a really crappy family that causes extra problems (or, you know, has a megalomaniacal immortal warlord for a father 😉 ). I love a good romance with realistic characters, which is also here, but I like it when the main character has a REAL family who plays a real part in the story and their life, in addition to the romance.
Kate Crittenden says
My favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series is the world building and the diverse magic. I really like Nevada’s family dynamics too. Also, Mad Rogan.
Mmg says
Oh, the worldbuiling…definitely the worldbuilding. The amount of work you put into literally creating this universe is outstanding.
Seriously, you two are word magicians. The Hidden Legacy world is so well developed and absolutely ENTRANCING. I always read books and I get a kind of movie going in my head, where I imagine things playing out as I read (I know, it’s weird lol). But they way you describe everything in this series (honestly, all your books) makes it so clear for me, it’s awesome 🙂
Whitney says
My favorite part of this series is the really solid and brilliant world-nuildinf that goes into it.
Amber says
I love Nevada. I want to be her when I grow up?
DK says
What I love about this series is the different types of love it shows and it’s effect on people. Rogan doesn’t just love Nevada he also respects her and her decisions (I.e in White hot, her plans about Montgomery, her family’s decision about House Tremaine). Despite the difference they had whether it’s values they have or social and political standing it becomes irregardless because they have a true partnership which they put in effort to make it work. You can see the effect it has on Rogan, that thoughout the series he becomes more open to conversation and challenges to his authority. Nevada can see through him and his decision to the man he is.
Also you can feel the familial love they had for each other, that they would rather fight head on with guns and tanks than leave one of them to hang. Also the subtle way they show it, Nevada helping Leon with homework. Their grandma always being there with an ear to listen and Penelope their Mom helping Nevada move past the fact the she’s bringing danger home to their family and trying to shield Leon from the knowledge of what his magic could be. The fact that Catalina and Arabella would join in the fight despite their young age for me at least, shows that they notice that violence and killing takes it’s toll on Nevada. They know better than anyone that their older sister is not a killer just that she will kill if she has to in order to protect the people she cares about, regardless of the fact that it hurts her conscience. They show that love isn’t the perfect thing that poets talk about. That it is frustrating and challenging and takes a lot work. But at the end of the day all those doesn’t matter because the people you care about is worth all that pain and effort, all the more because they love you too.
Shelley says
The characters are both flawed and strong enough to be likable, the plot is interesting and unpredictable, and the writing is crisp and sharp enough to tell the story effortlessly.
Melody L. says
I love the world of magic and Houses. Nevada and Conner’s love is a slow flame that’s so addicting to watch how it blooms. I don’t have a healthy relationship with my mother so it’s fascinating, insightful, and hopeful to see Nevada’s relationship with her mother and grandmother. Can’t wait to find out what her sister’s powers are and what happens with Leon.
Greedy Guts says
I love rhe complexity of your characters, and Nevada’s and her family’s emerging powers, and how they deal with them.
Jacquie says
I love this series, the strong female heroine and of course the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. Can’t wait for Wildfire!
Susan Linch Ravan says
Mad Rogan!
Alexander zivkovic says
Love Nevada’s insistence on trying to remain independent and her courage
Joy says
I love how complex Nevada’s emotions and reactions are: her attraction to Rogan coupled to her desire to ‘shock the shit’ out of him; her fierce protectiveness toward her family, and her irritation at their juvenile antics; her calmness under fire then her regret and pain about killing another human.
Sica Michael says
I love the depth of all the characters in your books 🙂
Ashley says
It’s VERY hard to pick just one thing so I’m going to go with Nevada since her character has ties to a bunch of the things I love about Hidden Legacy, like Rogan, the magic, her family, and also just Nevada herself. Who doesn’t love a character whose Achille’s heel is really how her empathy puts her in tough situations. Hands down one of my favourite series ever!
Edwena says
I haven’t read any Hidden Legacy yet, I just found your books aND started with Magic Bites.
Judith Young says
I love the relationship between Nedvada and her sisters! Reminds me of mine.
Janice says
I love the world building in this one! Like in KD, I like how past events/magic have affected the current world in significant ways. I really enjoy the political and power dynamics in this world, similar to the Kinsmen series. I like that everyone is human but there is room to explore many different magical abilities.
I also appreciate Nevada’s realistic character development 🙂
Kat T. says
I love the characters, Nevada and Rogan are my fav. The urban fantasy world is my second most favorite thing.
Tiffany says
I love the character development! You can see how they got from who they were to who they are becoming.
AchiniSA says
This book I NEED IT!!! And please release the new Kat Daniels ASAP !!! These have been keeping me alive during the internship!!!!
Shauna says
I love that Nevada is not a push over. She has a strong moral compass and puts family first. She does what is right, not what is most profitable. She has rules, the most important being you have to live with your choices.
Wendy says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy novels is the love and respect Nevada’s family has for one another. The military background makes it relevant to some of the issues veterans are suffering today. I love the plot, but I really appreciate the compassion.
Les C says
The world building is superb and I love the closeness and interactions among the members of the Baylor family. Grandma Frida is hilarious. Rogan is extra yummy. Hard to decide if I like Rogan or Curran more.
Caty says
I love that Nevada’s a bad ass without being unrealistically OP in terms of combat powers. And I love literally everything you write.
S. Dhawan says
I love how strong, loyal, brave and loving Nevada is towards her family. I love how her relationship with Rogan is evolving. I simply can’t stop reading the series. It gets everything right and is the perfect balance of action, paranormal, mystery, romance and character development and the characters even get downtime. I’m really hoping we will have more adventures from Nevada and Rogan in the future!
Maritza Munoz says
I love the legacy series. There are so many aspects I enjoy. Nevada’s family. Her sisters and cousins and grandma tie on which are more hilarious. One of my favorite lines: “my teeth have biceps and my biceps have teeth”.
Melissa S. says
Every time I read your books, I get something more out of them. Just when I think I know Nevada’s family well enough to focus on hoping for more with Mad Rogan, there is another layer revealed. Again and again. I must keep reading! I love this world!
Rimante says
I love well developed characters of Rogan and Nevada, love the story line, love the realistic feeling of the book – I can imagine living in this Hidden Legacy world and it’s a wonderful feeling. Love you very much.
Saph/Laura says
I adore the fantastic world building hidden legacy as well as the glorious and awesome clusterfuck that is Nevada’s family. I love the family dynamics and always interested in new powers or prime dynamics as they are introduced.
Wendy says
I like the characters and the humor.
Gene says
I love how it’s family-centered. Whatever it is she does, it always comes back to her family. I love how strong they are as a family and individually. I can’t wait to read more. Can it be as long as the Kate Daniels series? Please Authorlords? ?
Audrey says
Hello ^^
To be honest, my favourite thing about Hidden Legacy is also my favourite thing about all of your writing. The worldbuilding and the characters. Ilona and Gordon, you have a rare blend of complex world building and very human characters (even the ones with otherworldly power are relatable on some level). More than any other author I can think of, you’re amazing at showing real people have real relationships in a compelling world… and I’m absolutely loving it.
Thank you so much for writing and making our lives better through it.
Hugs!
Fan in California says
OF COURSE the love story between Connor and Nevada but, also, the fierce dedication and love Nevada feels towards and for her family (a common theme in your books that I enjoy). And the universe is do cool too!!!
Vasanti Ramesh says
I love the strength of character that Nevada has and her relationship with her family. And of course the humor running through the series :-). Love Matilda and her pets too. Ok, the list goes on.
Izzy says
My favourite thing about this series is that I can enjoy another book by an amazing writing duo because I read them so quickly. The series is magic and I couldn’t describe any one part that I didn’t love absolutely
Lovella de jesus says
I absolutely adore the writing style, the world-building and, of course, the characters. The Hidden Legacy is such a unique series. I’m torn between wanting to know what will happen next and not wanting it to end!
Shawn S says
What don’t I love about these books? I love that Nevada is so very comfortable in her own skin. I love her unconventional family that is so very protective and supportive of each other and their quirks. I love that Rogan has created his own family from his employees, although he might not see it that way. I love that when I step into this world, it totally envelopes and welcomes me, And Yes, I adore the Ninja Ferrets!
Kate says
I love the interactions between Nevada and her family, it’s too common to have both MCs alone in the world/from a damaging family environment
Dawn Hougland says
The quirky ways magic is used in this universe – the ferret heist was the best scene ever!
Ana Maria Palawar says
I’ve never read any book more than once, but I’ve read both The Hidden Legacy series not just once but 3 times and I read them one more time before the next one comes which means I’m reading White Hot again now. Canadian superfan.
Kari v. says
I love the sense of humor so many characters display.
Sinead Borgersen says
I haven’t read any of them yet but looking forward to reading them. Will be going again to Nola story con. Got so many great recommendations there!
Wendy Eaton says
Even though your characters have amazing ability. You can still related to them as a person, which makes them more believable. So you end up feeling all the ups and down they go through.
Satu says
Best about this series; Nevada and Rogan interaction, of course 🙂
Kimberly Ann Edwards says
My favorite thing abut HIidden Legacy? The World building. Seriously, I’m a sucker for a book that creates a vibrant, interesting, colorful world. It’s the canvas that a work of fiction needs to become. (yes, I did mean to end it there!)
Maria says
favorite thing? the Baylor family. Grandma Frida and the sisters..Catalina and Arabella are a hoot especially their teasing of N+R. The dynamics of magic and tension between Nevada and Rogan…two strong people trying to make the world a little bit better in their own way.
Elisabeth Jaeger says
In my view, the best part of the Hidden Legacy series is the interaction between Nevada and Rogan. Even though the relationship is new, they are both heavily invested in the other’s happiness and wellbeing. Of course the world building is also superb and the secondary characters (especially her family) are hilarious. Thank you for writing such awesome books and please write more in this series after Wildfire. Three books just aren’t enough. =)
Rebecca Roussel says
I especially love the banter in these books. Grandma Frida is one of my favorite.
Desiree says
I love the way all the characters evolves throught the books and gets more depth with each book.
Oh and the constant surprise in backgrounds 🙂
Dawn says
The way y’all add snark and humor to make the characters more real…simply the best!
Samantha says
I like everhyhing about these books, but my favorite things have to be Grandma Frida and the mercenary bears.
Samantha says
*everything ?
Sary says
Strong , capable female leads . Without belittling , whining, hooker behavior. wootwoot.
Candle says
For me the most intriguing part is the variety of abilities – not just the infinite potential of different powers and combinations but the way they shape the characters owning them, the dynamics forming between personality traits and specific power used over time.
Biki says
I love the world building and the story. It’s engrossing and you can’t help but be interested in them and invested in the hea.
SidnaSamowar says
The world-building is brilliant and the romance is sizzling hot, but the most favourite thing about Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s family. Other authors too often use character’s family as a source of some conflict in the story, but that’s not the case of Nevada’s family. They argue, they squabble, but at the end of the day, they stick together… and you can feel the love they have for each other in between the lines. Plus their interactions are funny as hell.
Megan says
I love the complexity of each character with their magic and sense of humour – especially navada’s family
JW says
I love the intense chemistry between Nevada and Connor!
Omonye Ebhomielen says
I think the fact Nevada didn’t run away when Rogan expected her to was my favorite part of the book. Not only didn’t she run away, she charged forward to show him that she wasn’t going anywhere. And inspite of that, Rogan resigns himself to thinking that their relationship wont last. It makes me excited for the next book to see that dynamic play out that Nevada is sort of taking the reigns of the relationship in her hands as Rogan tries to step back. Little does he know. Heh.
Harukogirl says
Mad Rogan is my favorite thing about Hidden Legacy! 🙂
Cathy CB says
My favorite thing is Nevada’s family – I love her sisters and cousins. But the whole world building and magic is pretty awesome and Rogan… well, I’d like one as well. 🙂
Nola Sun says
I love it all but most of all that there are so many strong, kick-ass women. I love Grandma Frida and how she still calls Nevada “baby”. I still refer to my 20 year old niece as “baby”, lol. I get you Grandma Frida.
Emily says
My favorite thing about the hideen legacy novels is probably the characters, and how they interact with eachother, oh and ILOVE the snarkyness!
Nicca says
Well… My favourite thing about the series is not easily said…
Most probably, it is the whole construction of a world so closely related to ours and still so different. A story about “normal” live – more or less (I thankfully don’t have that amount of stress Nevada does) – with normal human problems and so, so much more!
Stories with magic have always fascinated me, but the true magis is how you brilliant authors never cede to magically capture me (and other reades) with your words!
Let me just use this opportunity, to thank you profoundly! Please know that I deeply respect and appreciate your work!
Dawn says
Nevada and Rogan. And her family. And the world building. Yeah, pretty much everything. 🙂
nick says
i absolutely love the world building in this series
Madge Aalto says
Can’t wait to read Wildfire! The romance between Nevada and Rogan is wonderful, but the world they live in is amazing!
Carlammm says
I love Nevada and her relationship with her family especially grandma… oh and Ferret-Badgers…
MICHIE says
Loooooooove Mad Rogan urmygawd. Don’t want to turn this into a Herald feed tho.
Amber N says
My favorite part of Hidden Legacy is that from the very beginning she has stood up to Mad Rogan and held her ground. I love the back and forth between the two and how despite them both being reserved people they still show their affection for each other. The amazing plot, fast action, mystery and steamy love scenes are just icing! What’s not to love about this series?!
Kimberly King says
My favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series is the relationship Nevada has with her family, but I can not leave out her and Rohan’s romance and how it has grown.
Shannon says
I read Burn for Me when it first came out and fell in love. I have White Hot, but am waiting until Wildfire is almost here to read it. I LOVE all of your series’ and have read all of your books! This one is, again, unique with a strong female lead character (one of my favorite aspects of all your books). You have a way of taking what appears to be a common story line and making it into something new, something more.
Lisa says
I just really love all of Hidden Legacy – the magic system, the characters, the plotlines, eveything! I could keep reading these books for years (hint hint)
Sanam Khangura says
I haven’t read Hidden Legacy yet! But, I have it on audible and I’m waiting for my preorder of Wildfire to come in. I’m so excited! Thank you for all you hard work! 🙂
Cat147 says
The fact that I can read or listen to the books multiple times and I will still burst out laughing at funny remarks. I really hope that this series will continue. I was so glad when white hot finally came out and that wild fire will not be as long a wait. Love your work.
RJ Blain says
I think what I liked most about this series was the blend of themes: so often in romance, characters are crippled, the flaws in their personalities either over enhanced to the point of idiocy or removed altogether; Rogan and Nevada are allowed to be people, and while there is a lot of magic in their world, they’re allowed to be real.
mirela says
Nevada and Rogan relationship I love the most
Jamie says
I love how developed and complex and real the relationships are, especially between the family. They feel like people I would love to know. I could picture sitting around a kitchen table with this family and watching the family dynamics in play. Well, except for maybe Mad Rogan. I might be too scared of him!
Alice T says
The worldbuilding
Colette says
Counting the days!
Gavin Hahn says
The best part of Hidden Legacy for me really is Neveda and Rogan’s relationship because its so well constructed, it just feels so seamless, it doesn’t feel forced at all; it really is one of my fav relationships of all time in literature. The interplay/banter that takes place between these two characters is also a joy to read. Surrounding this relationship is a world that you Authorlords have peeled back layer by layer at such a great pace; just look at how much we have learned in only 2 books! And yet there’s still so much more to learn!
Jenine! says
I love how Nevada has strong integrity; she always tries to do the right thing. I like her sense of humour. I feel I can relate to her values.
Also, Rogan’s quite rad too!
Jeanine says
I love that I can still be surprised by the evolution of the story. I want to grow up to be Grandma F.
LRB says
I always love the amazing, kick-ass women, but I think what makes this series shine is really the Baylor family dynamics. Their interactions are always filled with action, humor, love, support and more.
April says
The world building is my favorite part of the series. I love the concept of the magic users having a social structure based off of powers. My second favorite part is Rogan and his sociopathic ways. He is a true Alpha Anti-hero My third favorite part is the cast of characters. Nevada and her family are amazing!
Anne H says
It’s difficult to pick one aspect of the stories, as they’re a fabulous package deal – great world building, interesting abilities, intricate plots, intelligent, strong main characters and fascinating, funny secondary characters in a quirky family. However, if I had to choose, it would be the interaction between Nevada and Rogan.
Tina says
I love the characters and how the dynamics are so realistic between family members – fun to see the family skeletons coming out of the closet and to imagine what will happen next. And of course I am keeping my fingers crossed for a Rogan and Nevada happy ending.
Katie Bates says
I’m In love with the story, the characters growth through the series is dynamic. The humor keeps me turning the pages late into the night.
Midu says
Nevada’s family, especially her grandmother are why I read the books. My family has stuck with me through thick and thin. Nevada’s seem similar. Thanks for the giveaway!
Brigitte says
I’m always a sucker for a story where the main characters didn’t get along in the beginning. Then mix in magical powers and writing that creates a believable female lead – Im all in.
Melissa van Beveren says
I love the humor and the characters….I laughed out loud during the scene with the team of ferrets…..lol
Grandma Frida rocks too.
Aliyah says
I love the chemistry between Rogan and Nevada.
Miss Fiendishly says
There are a few crucial important reasons why the Hidden Legacy series is so unique and why I really love this series. Its world building, relationship between the characters, the character development and the story progression. I’ve read a lot of urban fantasy series and reviewed a lot of them, and what you find that makes a series stands out is its patented uniqueness.
We have a character that is grounded, humble, and is carrying a secret much in the way that Kate Daniels is (though the distinction is that Nevada doesn’t know much about her heritage until White Hot). She has the capability of being quite dangerous, and is not willing to cross certain lines, she takes the reader on the journey as she explores her capabilities.
Unrealized potential is key and that is what fuels the reader who is desperate to know more. Unraveling its mystery adds to the story progression and keeps the reader engaged and intrigued. Tasty bits along the way pepper the storyline with realism and fun, such as Aunt Gisela’s background clip, the fun banter between the characters, Grandma Frida’s self-professed exasperation of James’ altruism, and the mystery of Arabella (!) (what the heck is she??) Even the cute scene of Mathilda and the cat and (cue drum roll) Mission Impossible Ferret Gangnam Style Heist, all of these elements folded into a tight storyline reaffirm the Andrews’s brand, and one of the reasons I keep buying these books!
Marion Winkler says
Love the characters, the magic, the relationships – everything 😉
Krissy Austin says
I love the characters and the sense of humor. I have only read the first one and I can’t wait to read the others.
Tiffany Newell says
My favorite part about the Hidden Legacy series is the way some of the dialogue can just stop me in my tracks and make me think. When Bug is talking to Nevada about Leon, his parting statement showed a facet of depth to Bug that was newly revealed. I enjoy this about your writing. How simple statements can show this incredible depth of characterization. I’m looking forward to the last book so much!
Boohoo101 says
I love how they talk to each other and how they still gravitate towards each other no matter what crap they get thrown. They get past the bullshit and still go back to what matters…. them.
Oh and i love nevada’s family and look forward to reading more about them. I really hope this book wont be the end of their saga and it will be like kate’s series that has gone this long.
Lynsey McCarthy says
My favourite thing about the Hidden Legacy series (aside from the amazing world building) is the relationship Nevada has with her family and their interactions. I love how close knit, loving and loyal they are, and how they find humour in the most dire of situations. I absolutely love Rogan and Nevada together but there’s something lovely and a bit special about the family scenes which made them my favourite! And, yes, I am a total sap!!
Brittney says
I love the complexity of Nevada and Logan’s relationship and the way they work together to solve the problem at hand.
Brittney says
My phone auto corrected I typed Rogan and it changed it to Logan. 🙁
Sonia Oldrini says
I loved the hidden talents of Nevadas sisters and finding out their grandmother was super scary! Amazing storytelling as always thank you.
Marion Winkler says
Love the characters, the magic, the relationships – everything ?
Kelly Lim says
Apart from the hawt sexual tension between N and R, my fav part of the series is the slow tease reveal of the backgrounds and magical abilities of Nevada’s family. In and of themselves these characters are so interesting and become more and more crucial to the storyline; what’s even better IMO is how their history and interactions with Nevada subtly articulate her motivations and how/why she has become the person she is.
Amba says
I love the characters, humour, world building and character development over the first two books. The story draws me in and before I know it the book is finished and I’m left wondering how that happened so quickly.
Diana says
I really enjoy Nevada’s close knit family relationships and how they banter with each other.
EducatedRodent says
I love the humor all of your books have and the people. Your people are real with real motivations, even when they fight fictitious monsters (themselves being fictitious as well). And finally Rogan. Rogan is the unicorn of Alpha male characters. Sociopathic a** that still is able to be awesome and appealling and charming.
Kellie says
Family and powerful women. It’s nice read stories about a strong women that finds love, runs her own business, and is still respected by her family. Navada doesn’t beg for help from her rich boyfirend, she handles it herself. Thanks for writing the story!
Elena says
I must say that I read all your books and in these series I like THE WORLD that you create, you must gave a awesome imagination. I would like to win because on 25 july it is my 40th birthday. Thank yoy for the giveway.
Teresa Miller says
The Hidden Legacy series immerses you in a world that is engaging and complex. I love that Nevada’s relationship with her family is deep and stable, but still complicated.
Kate says
I haven’t read it yet, but I very much want to, just purchased from amazon. 😀
Sara Bright says
I love the Hidden Legacy series as the quality of the writing is in a class of its own. It pulls the reader into a fascinating world and makes you care deeply about Nevada, her wonderful & eclectic family, her relationship with Connor & all of their futures being (hopefully!) happy ones. Nevada may go through hell & back during your journey with her but it is a journey you wouldn’t miss for the world & I hope the journey continues and we get to read more about all of their futures. Utterly wonderful & is helping me through a particularly tough journey of my own. Thank you!
Gloria Magid says
I love Nevada’s guts and adherence to her moral code. I also love that, thanks to her experiences with her military family, she understands Rogan’s black and white view of the world. I love that both of these characters do what they think is right and do what they feel they must to protect those they love.
Aside from the building romance, I love Nevada’s complicated family, and they way they pull together in a crisis. I also love the vividly painted secondary characters, like Bug the surveillance expert, Dr. Daniella, and of course Augustine. I want this to be a continuing series, not just a trilogy. I have read the first two books multiple times, and am dying to get my hands on the third installment. Here’s hoping it ends with a wedding!
Candice says
I really enjoyed the family dynamic of these novels. On one side we have Nevada’s warm, loving family who will love her no matter what. And the other side powerful magic families who build and breed for House politics but you must prove your worth to be treasured or loved. The contrast of family life in these books is huge. I think at the core the unloved members of these Houses are the reason for the drama. I cant wait to see if or how becoming a House will change the Baylors. I sincerely hope it wont. And maybe Rogan will get a family that loves him for him and not his abilities.
Steph B says
Rogan. Oh and Rogan.
Jemma says
I love Nevada’s family dynamics, love how they treat and communicate with each other. I always look forward to these type of scenes on the last two books and it’s what I was looking forward to Wildfire.
skiaza says
I want a ferret-badger
Elizabeth says
I think it has a to be when Rogan avoided the squirrel. Given the context of the violence before and after – it was this really normal and loving thing to do.
Krysti says
I love how real the characters and their relationships feel – not just Nevada and Rogan’s relationship, but also/especially the relationships and interactions of Nevada’s family. It really fleshed out the books, along with the authors’ awesome sense of humor injected throughout.
Hellsbellshth says
I love many things about these books. From the way they are written so well, the characters being so readable and funny at times, to the relationships they have. I love these books as when im finished reading i have a massive grin on my face
Rejana Clark says
I love the closeness of the Baylor family. Even when they are at odds with one another, they still can depend on the unconditional love and support of everyone else in the family. No matter what. Do anything to protect each other. That, in my humble opinion is the spine of the plot.
Simone Neblich-Spang says
First off, I love all of your books. And short stories. And whatever you write – and if you start copying the phone book of Hong Kong, I’ll probably love that, too…. ^^
What pulled me right into the series, was Nevada, a wonderfully strong, but still *human* in the sense that she had problems, had insecurities, had her little quirks and hangups, main character. I love the world that she inhabits, where extraordinary powers are normal and accepted, even if they’re rare. I love the combination of ‘magic’ and technology, of a world that could be like ours, if only it had a little something extra added.
I also love that the romance developed, without Nevada immediately becoming a pile of goo and leaving her whole life ‘for her man’. On the contrary, he has to work for it. And I can be sure that this isn’t going to change, even after they became an item. I love when women don’t get degraded to somnolent bovines, happy to sun themselves in the overwhelming shine of their boyfriend/husband/mate/whatever.
Love doesn’t rob them of brain power. 🙂
So I eagerly await the publication of Wildfire and I’m not sure whether I wlil have enough willpower to put it away until my vacation in August… 🙂
Lisa says
I love that they are finally together so we get to enjoy them as a couple in Wild Fire!!
Frankie says
I love the relationships. Nevada and Rogan fighting their attraction before succumbing, Nevada’s sisters and cousins giving her a hard time and teasing each othet (bit like my family lol). Family, friends, colleagues they make this world what it is. Love it, keep up the great work.
farhiya says
The characters, the magic, the family. Mostly the family. And no dumbing down of any of the female characters, I REALLY love that.
NicoleB says
I love the world of this series, the humour, the characters, the development of the characters, the growing relationship between Nevada and Rogan, the funny situations which come up and the adventures.
I love how you build your worlds and it never becoming repetitive and boring, and that you keep us on the edge of our seats with tension and still make me lough out loud in between.
I do not very easily rate books with 5 stars on Goodreads. But the books I rate with 5 stars have me emotionally involved and wanting for more. This series is definately one of them!
I hope this series will continue for a long time!
Shelby p says
I just love mad Rogan ?
Wendy says
I think I’ve enjoyed the series so far because it not only pays proper attention to character, relationships and development but it also has the world building, and the humour, and the technical plotting, and the moral questions. It’s the books with multiple elements that have me re-reading and finding something new each time that are the most satisfying.
Naomi says
It’s hard to choose just one favourite thing about The Hidden Legacy series so far. But I’d have to say that I love each and every one of the characters, their quirkiness, their flaws and their passion, the way they build and grow, the way the Nevada and Rogan come together even after the rough patches. I’ve read and re-read the first two books so many times I think I know them almost word for word, and I’m sure regardless if I win a copy or not I’d be doing the same with WildFire. I do so hope the story carries on, because I’ve fallen in love with these wonderful stories. The way the characters are brought to life, makes me want to believe in magic!! I’m such an avid fan, that I’m counting down the days till the release date and I remind my family everyday how many days there are to go… its 10 incase your wondering 🙂 Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!
Katerina Krokou says
I loved the relationship between the characters, both familial and romantic. Also the character development was done smoothly and I feel like i know them for a long time.
Karen Belter says
Like most people here, I have read all of Ilona Andrews’ books. Repeatedly. What do I like about this series? Like with all their books it’s the incredibly tight world building. It always feels seamless and plausible; you can see yourself in this alternative reality. The world building is complex, fascinating and provides the context needed to support an extremely well written story.
CC says
I don’t think I can pick just one! I love the fantastic world building, the wit that is evident in every page, the relationships, the surprising twists and turns, the fact that it is romance but that sexual scenes are fairly tasteful and modest, but still actually romantic, (and unlike like a lot of romances I’m not bombarded with sex every other page), and the magic system which is fascinating and I love the idea of the Osiris serum
(Especially thinking about Mrs. O’Leary’s cow). Too many others to say. Thank you for the fantastic book (and series)!!!!
Alison says
I love the parity between Rohan and Nevada. I love when he asks in white hot ‘do you want me to rescue you?’ And she says no.
All the classic elements handsome rich hero, ground confident but struggling heroine and yet completely modern, refreshing , sexy and unexpected.
Yes the world building is amazing, all the characters from grandma Frieda to Cornelius well rounded and interesting (I want stories for all of them!) but I just love the integrity of the main characters and their relationships. I think it’s a trademark of your books and all the more amazing for it.
suzana says
Hi,
I have a copy of all of your books. I just like the way you write! The characters, the language… all. I can’t explain better than this
Suzana
Stephanie Burgis says
My very favorite thing about the series is Nevada’s family and their dynamics. (That family dinner with Rogan in Book 1 made me laugh so many times!) I adore this series.
Rachel says
I love the world building in the story, the way magic is a trait of lineage, the different kind of magics that have emerged, and the way it’s been used and adapted to a pseudo-modern setting.
It’s different from the way magic and technology coexist in the Kate Daniels series, but I definitely enjoy the less apocolyptic and more cohesive way magic and technology coexist in the Hidden Legacy series
Amanda says
I adore Nevada’s family, especially her sisters.
Maggie Gillet says
I really enjoy the slowly revealed secrets about Nevada’s family, both their history and powers. And the romance is pretty good too. ?
Yashika Bansal says
I love most everything about the book – characters, humor, plot line etc. But what I love most is the world building. The idea of how magic has evolved and how families/houses act as independent political and magical units in the entire tapestry is really fascinating. The charting out of how that would affect everyday interactions, and character reactions is what really makes the books stand out for me. Thank you for writing and making it available for us to read!
Elamas says
I really love how the characters are developing, you can see more of Nevada’s sisters and I’m really intrigued by Leon. I just love thevstory in general
Tasnim Sheikh says
It’s difficult to pinpoint a specific thing. The reasons I love the series so muxh are the characters, not just the main characters, but also all the side characters. I also love the world building, the story-telling and of course my favourite bit about the series is the romance!
Hoping for a book #4 and book #5 and so on!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Dorothy Elsey says
The Chase! She doesn’t want it but of course she does. The characters are strong. The book touches all the human emotions from sadness to humorous.
Kris B says
The suspense keeps me addicted! The world is slowly unfolding so readers understand more about the world and characters, the unique House system, and the awesome and different magical abilities. I enjoy the suspense of trying to figure out what comes next!! I’ve read every series several times. In fact, i recently suffered a back injury. While on bed rest, I re-read Hidden Legacy, the whole Edge series (Lark needs a book!!), and am re-readin Innkeeper now. My fav author by far. Looking like surgery is in my future so I will have time for plenty of reading (trying to find the good….)
kitlina says
Every time I think of this series there is this thrill deep in my soul. I often find myself thinking about words. About their meaning and their place. I wonder how there are people out there who can string them into stories that embed themselves into your very marrow. This is the kind of writing these authors do. Everything they put down is pure gold. I can’t name even one book that I’ve read from them that didn’t stay with me long after I finished it. The words they flow into sentences make it very hard for the reader to recover and sometimes even consider anything else to read. Because nothing compares. Till now I have read more than 1400 books. This is no bragging, I absolutely LOVE to read. And from all these reads and authors I find myself giving 1st place to IA. I read BFM when it first came out and it about killed me to wait 3 years for WH. But I did it. The little snippets thrown over the years were a small bandage over a bleeding artery. I literally cannot express how much I anticipate Wildfire.
Thank you for this opportunity. And if nothing else, I just want IA to know that they are out of this world and I love them very much and I hope that they live forever to write us into eternity.
Jacqui M says
Each character is so well drawn they come alive in my mind. I can visualise them as I read. They are important to me. Even Bug’s dog. :)I I know once I finish the third book, I will go back and read all three books again to fix them in my mind. Sigh…..
Barbara C says
It’s the relationships, and their development. I reread first two books in preparation for third, so I dont miss anything.
Amy says
My favourite part is probably the interactions between Nevada and Rogan.
Amy says
My favorite thing beyond the writing itself is that Nevada and Rogan are already a team by the end of book two. I can’t handle the will they/won’t they for long, and it’s nice to see a couple working together to solve a compelling puzzle.
Carly says
That’s very hard to pick a spesific thing but one of my favourite things would have to be when rogan finally got the girl. Lmao. ???
Avia says
Favourite part: the politics between magical houses!
Tara Schneider says
Where to begin… well, in no particular order:
1) I LOVE this famliy! They have been through SO much & sure they have their issues, but they would do ANYTHING for each other. Plus, they are a hoot! I really enjoy all of their personalities. They have such great quirks and senses of humor, and STRENGTH! You can FEEL their bond, their love, their concern for each other.
2) I love Nevada’s spunk. She is such a great combination of strengths and weaknesses. Like most, real people, she has confidence that ebbs and flows, depending on the issue, her mood, or even (understandably so) how tired or burnt out she is. No matter what, however, she has a core of steel that pushes her forward. She will NOT let down her family, or herself.
3) How can I not love Mad Rogan…I mean the dude checks my boxes. But as sexy as he is, he of course is the kind of arrogant that makes you want to hit him and kiss him at the same time.
4) I love how Nevada wants to hit and kiss him at the same time! Hee hee!
5) I…that’s right LOVE this world. So interesting with magical dynasties and corporations and the whole “class” structure. The different kinds of magic, the idea of magical implants, magical creatures, etc… The whole tech world and it’s capabilities and possibilities. The military using magic & pharmaceuticals & tech. I mean, WOW!
6) The last thing I can think of off the top of my head is this: the want to get to know ALL of the characters better. Not just Nevada’s family, but Rogan’s people (Bug included) and just about every other side character as well.
-Thanks for writing-well really ALL of your books. I have yet to read one that I wasn’t gaga over. I for one am super appreciative that you had what it took to come up with these stories, write them brilliantly, and publish them again and again. Don’t ever stop…well I mean you’re allowed to take the occasional break to use the facilities and ya know-eat and drink. I mean I guess you might need to sleep too,,,, ; )
Sneha B says
My favorite thing about your books is always the world building (and your awesome dialogue/snark!). In the Hidden Legacy Series , I loved the concept of Magical Houses and how you integrated the politics into the modern world and yet made it very believable!
Robert Batten says
If nominating a specific moment, it’s hands down Leon’s commentary track on the video when the warehouse is attacked. Otherwise I’m town between Grandma Frida who’s now my role model for old age.
Cheryl plonka says
I’ve enjoyed this series and cannot wait for the 3rd installment. I like the fairly quick pace of each novel yet how they do come together as a whole story.
Misha says
I love the series because I feel as though not only is it well written and captivating but the world is built so that I can see this series lasting a while and that’s very exciting!
Abirami Muthukrishnan says
Great plot, wonderfully colourful characters and can’t wait to meet Grandma !!!!
Rachel Montgomery says
I love Nevada’s family – the protective mom, the quirky grandmother, and especially the kids. I particularly enjoyed the reveals of the kids’ powers. I received an egalley of Wildfire, and Arabella’s reveal was awesome!
Michelle says
Now I feel like my brain is going to explode before 7/25. Can’t wait!
Deborah McKeever says
The family dynamic. I just really enjoy how the interact with each other and it’s all normal family chats and squabbles but if someone outside the family hurts one of them it’s all hands on deck, let’s get the floating tank haha.
Marcela says
The dialogue between Nevada and her sisters has always struck close to my heart.
Tanika G says
My favorite thing about this series would be the world you’ve created. The magic, the families, the power structure… just the feel of the world caught me from the get go.
Giveaway aside, thank you for writing these books! 🙂
Liz S says
Nevada and Rogan are terrific characters and I love the way they interact with each other! Your books always have strong character development and great plots! Thanks for the giveaway!
karen says
what I love: these are real people in a wonderfully imaginative world and the time I spend with them is time well spent.
Anastasia says
My favourite part is the interactions between Nevada’s family, and the worldbuilding!!!
They grow up, discover themselves and their place in this peculiar, dangerous, yet beautiful world!
Oh and I love magic…
MelanieS says
I love the family. They are so fun to read about.
Robin_WH says
I really like the comments from the family and others on Nevada & Rogan relationship and other things, Grandma is best, though Bern and Bug are really good too. Smile Bunny!
Suze says
What I like best about Hidden Legacy is the same thing I love in all your books. The fun.
Also am I weird for prefering the paperback version so it matches the other books? 😛
Kawthar A says
My favourite thing about the hidden legacy series are the different magic powers and trying to find out (and debating) what character has what ahead of time. Thanks for the giveaway!
Linda says
I love the characters and the world-building. I want to live there and make friends with Nevada, Rogan, Grandma, and everyone 🙂
Doug Miller says
I am heading over to Amazon to get 1 and 2 on Kindle, if they are available. Looks like a great read!
Lily says
I love that Nevada has a strong relationship with her family! Rogan is great too and so is the world building, but the family makes it unique in urban fantasy.
Mina says
So hard to pick just one thing…. I love Nevada’s family, the relationship between the sisters and cousins (Leon and Bern)… I think you capture the essence of teenagers growing into adulthood so very well. Love their back-and-forth and the way that when danger threatens everyone puts aside the bickering and unites as a team.
Courtney Hood says
I love the world building of the series. You always create such interesting, unique worlds in your books. I also love the banter between Nevada and Rogan and the Baylor family dynamic.
SJ says
The characters and their developing relationships are great. Likeable, honourable, and flawed enough to make it interesting. The world is engaging and has captivating twists. Even the minor characters have human motivations and their actions are real and not always predictable.
Sarah says
I love that Nevada is another strong female character, yet in her own right, as are the other female members of her family. I really love her grandma who is hilarious! Rogan is delicious too!
Jenny V says
I love the interactions with Nevada’s family. They are both realistic and hilarious. I find myself laughing out loud a lot. ?
Megan Wells says
Rogan ? I really love all the relationships in the book. I love Nevada and Rogan and I love Nevada and her family. The characters are all so fun and loving.
Athina says
Grandma Frida for one 🙂 and the dialogues that make me wish I was that snarky 😉
Betul E. says
The world and the awesome characters.
Danielle says
My favorite part of the series has to be the magic system. I love how it is structured by family seeing how that has evolved from the original kinsmen novellas.
Dianna says
Best books ever ! World building, character development, love interest. Can’t wait until July 25 – I keep reading the books over and over again.
Rachel L says
I love the fact that the characters beyond Nevada and Rogan are fleshed out. It was cool that Bug had some scenes in the second book. And I was so glad that, via Bug’s observations, Nevada figured out where Leon’s talent lies. I love the connections between the characters.
Karen Rintelmann says
I love seeing how all the characters come to life. Nevada, her sisters, mother, cousins, Grandma Frieda – how they are a true family. They are teaching Rogan what a family is meant to be.I live that!
Jan Lafford says
Love the comedic moments – they just make me giggle away right before it goes back to business. Fabulous series that is just world and character building at its best
Gail says
Love the series. Love that all the characters especially Nevada’s are all individuals who will fight for and stand up against anyone because they are united andlove each other.
The amazing details of the magic families and the politics .
The ferrets , Bunny, Grandma and her tank Romeo.
Finally the growth of Nevada and Mad Rogan ,their fights adventures and their bonds leading to love and becoming an extended family
Stephanie L. says
I like how Nevada is written as a regular non-magic person and has a lack of arrogance.
Kelly says
Love how kick-ass Nevada is with her powers.
Christine says
I like how important families are in Hidden Legacy – both the family orientation of the Houses and seeing the Baylors’ interactions.
Pam Martin says
I love Nevada and Rogan’s emerging relationship. His comment “I see a Prime” was just lovely. But probably my favorite part of White Hot was Leon’s commentary after the attack at Nevada’s home. It was hysterically funny!!
Shreya Srinivasan says
Nevada. Nevada. Mad Rogan. Nevada. The family. Nevada. Enough said.
Bettie Small says
One of My favorite things about this series is the family relationship and support. I love the sibling interactions, the quiet moments she has with her Mother and Grandmother and how they always stand together. It’s realistic, gritty and beautiful and I sometimes feel like that kinda love has a magic of its own.
Elizabeth says
Like all your books, the series is complex, detailed and downright funny. The characters are not perfect and feel completely real. I find something new and interesting even after re-reading them many, many times. I can’t wait for Wildfire to come out.
Jen says
Mad Rogan is one of my favorite things about Hidden Legacy. He’s flawed, but you can’t help loving the guy.
Sarah G says
I can’t pick just one thing – that’s impossible! I love Nevada and her whole family (apart from evil grandmother!), the way they bicker amongst each other is just so realistic to normal family life and so is the way they will fight to the death to protect each other! I love the magic system you’ve created, the way powerful families are above the law in a lot of ways and how they make their own rules. I love Cornelius and his animal sidekicks (ninja ferrets FTW!). But most of all I love Rogan (tactile, tactile, TACTILE!!!) and the way the relationship has developed between him and Nevada, they have fantastic chemistry but they also make a brilliant team. I love how he respects her abilities and is proud of the things she can do, he’s protective without smothering her and the way he’s honest about her options and willing to risk his heart to make sure she’s happy. I think it’s safe to say I love EVERYTHING about this series, something you can tell my my obsessive rereading LOL. I’m so glad that Wildfire isn’t going to be the end of their story!
Liz V says
My fav thing about Nevada and Rogan is their humor. 😀
Mara says
Nevada’s family and their hilarious and loving and realistic relationships! I love how they fight and bicker and tease but ultimately love and support each other. One line sticks out to me; when someone asks why Nevada and her youngest sister aren’t affected by their middle sisters magic “she’s our sister. We already love her as much as we can” awwwww
Kunle O says
I love Grandma Frida best of all
Melindam says
It is so hard to list/pinpoint what I love about this series, so I’ll stick to “I love everything about Hidden Kegacy”. 🙂
Morganarama says
I love THE POTENTIAL.
Stacy says
“Does anybody else find this whole idea of a ferret heist mildly absurd?” *Snort* While the ferret heist was one of my favorite scenes, plus being laugh out loud funny, the world and character building are what make the series.
Christina Morgan says
My favorite thing is the Baylor’s family dynamic. I want to sit down and have dinner with them because they seem so real. They argue, sulk, and support each other like a real family should.
Carol says
I certainly cannot pick one thing I love most but I did narrow it down to the things I keep telling other people about so they read the books too.
So here it goes! I really enjoy Nevada and her family! The honor and accept each other. They bond together and make sacrifices for each other and I TOTALLY love their banter! It’s so real!!!!
I enjoy the relationship evolution between Conner and Nevada. It’s fascinating watching how he lets her become part of his inner world. She’s not the only person that knows him well – which lends a realistic credibility to the story – but she is definitely the only one that has access to that level of intimacy with him! Totally awesome!
I also really enjoy the quirky stuff that have become some of my favorite moments in the books! I mean really!!! Where else are you going to get a stealth raid by two ferrets and a ferret badger?! And I love how Rogan and react to it!! A grandma mechanic that promises to help with the bad guys by getting her tank ready!! The ultimate in taking out a really bad person with RATS via a Pid Piper magic! Nevada gets a gift shop t-shirt for a spoiled brat slash sociopath! The list goes on!!
Then there is the risk to some of my favorite characters! I know that is a weird thing to like but if everything goes right all the time the work becomes plastic.
All of these things just come together to really make your work enjoyable for me! Thanks!!
Kristine M. says
I love how determined Nevada is. To care for her family. To do the right thing. To get Justice for people.
And the ferret heist. Wow, I loved that.
Anita K says
I love the whole world. A place where people are born with magical abilities. Where there is a war between good and evil. Where a guy like Mad Rogan ends up being the good guy.
Jen Zamboni says
I haven’t read it yet!
Megan Bridges says
I love the idea of the world and the dynamics between Nevada and Mad Rogan.
Humayra mayat says
I love seeing Nevada and Rogan’s growth. So cuteeee
Kyle Belliston says
Time moves so slowly when you want a new book to come out.
Mary Terry says
I’ve especially enjoyed learning more about Nevada’s truth seeker abilities
Ama says
Love the family dynamic and all the humor. Dry, clever, witty, and sarcastic all meant in love. ; ) I do love the world but you could set these characters up anywhere and I’d still read it.
Kam Yan says
I love all the different talents! It’s like X-men, only waaaaayyyy better!!!
Alice Mc says
I love Nevada’s family, they are one for all and all for one! They love each other unconditionally, all families should be like that!
Diana Hong says
I love the complex system of magic – the different types of magic (will, elemental, etc.) and the house system. It makes the world so tangible and believable. I’ve even had discussions with a friend on what magic we’d most like to have and most likely have, based on this system!
Colleen D says
Your ability to build a story and cast of characters that grab me, the reader, within the first paragraph or two and then ‘we’re off’ on an amazing reading adventure.
Mary says
The world build level of detail. I am really sad there are only three books here!
Christine McCann says
Favorite thing? There’s so much to choose from that my brain kind of locks up. I really appreciate the strong female leadership of the Baylor family.
Maggie Wright says
There are so many things I love about Hidden Legacy. One of my favorite things is learning about all of the different kinds of magic.
Cornelius has the most interesting magic talent. I would choose his talent for myself if I could.
My favorite scene thus far is when Nevada watches the playback of her cousins narration of the attack. (I’m trying to be vague on purpose, as I don’t want to post spoilers). I had too re-listen to that scene several times. I was cracking up each time! It was wonderfully written comedy gold!
Heather Griffiths says
With all Ilona Andrews books, including the Wildfire series: I love the strong heroine who faces up to every challenge thrown at her, but still manages to be kind, loving and supportive of others. I love that the relationship the heroine enters into takes its time to develop. She doesn’t have some eye-lock which magically tells her somehow this is her one and only forever and ever, before she knows anything about the guy’s character, ethics, sense of humour or personal hygiene:-) I love that the hero is strong enough to challenge the heroine but doesn’t dominate her. It is a balanced relationship. That seems to be pretty rare in fiction these days. Nevada and Rogan are a worthy Andrews couple, and says the world. Can’t wait to read the book, free copy or not.
Jim says
I love the crazy family dynamic… and my many theories of what is really going on.
Jodie Cooper says
I loved everything about the story, as I do for all your work!?
Apryle Swain says
I love the depth of Mad Rogan and how Nevada just gets him best. Plus when he and Augustine quickly get weight sensors in the dryer vent. Hilarious.
Avril says
I enjoyed the entire book but I love the idea of all the unique ways people’s abilities can be used. The a animal communication abilities with their natural instincts needing to be considered was completely hilarious to me!
Tana Reeve says
I love Nevada’s family and the way they both tease and annoy each other as well as care for and make sacrifices for the good of the whole family. I also love the humor.
Carol B. says
I love the characters and the story!
Rachael Duvall says
I love Nevada and Conner’s relationship!!
Layla Fletcher says
I have not read Hidden Legacy.
Kate (NB) says
I would love to be introduced to this series through the giveaway. I have not read Hidden Legacy yet.
Thanks for the giveaway!
D. Waller says
I want to be Grandma Frida! I love the family & relationship dynamics! It makes all of them “real” people with just a little bit extra! Love the humor and the plot twists.
amy brennan says
What I love about the Hidden Legacy world is exactly that…the world-building. It is layered, complicated, and engaging. The dialogue between characters feels real and it forces you to care about them and what is happening. I never feel that events and side characters are paper cutouts meant only to move the story in the desired direction. It has a feeling of gritty reality that is nearly addictive. As things in real life seem comically bad (really who is the damned script writer of the universe that decided to recycle old Simpson’s scripts into reality?!?) I find myself pathetically waiting and grateful for any escape from reality. Two of those (and among my favorites) have been your books, and even the snippets for them. I’m counting down this month’s pre-order of my digital copy. I’ve already told my hubby that on 7/25 don’t expect me to do anything other than hole up reading. For that I thank you.
Ismaha says
I love the worldbuilding. And the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. And the dynamic in all the other relationships. And I just love how this story grips me and lets me stay up even though I know I should have gone to bed hours ago…
Sharon says
I love the family…they are great and I love the chemistry between Nevada and Mad Rogan…you can feel it coming off the pages…i love these books but I love all your books…i started out with Kate Daniels then progressed to the hidden legacy and everything inbetween…i read the books then I buy the audio books and I get a whole new feel to books I love I have already pre ordered the kindle and audio books and can’t wait xx
Jll says
I think what I like the most is the ways the characters are very human, and believable. I particulary like that Nevada is torn between her moral rules and the length she’ll go to in order to protect her family. It makes her genuine.
Tazmin Baksu says
Definitely has to be Nevada’s fierceness and her witty banter. Also love how protective she is of her family.
K. McBey says
I love Nevada’s family. It’s been fun trying to figure out what all their talents are. The world building is amazing and the romance kept me on my toes. Top favourite series. 🙂
Anna says
I love the authors of the Hidden Legacy series *wink* wink*
Sandra says
I love seeing all their superhuman abilities being used and developing. Really looking forward to seeing Nevada’s sisters in action with their abilities. Love that Nevada is a new prime.
Darlene says
I love EVERYTHING about Hidden Legacy! However, if you twist my arm and demand an answer, I have to say it’s how real each character is portrayed. I feel I could sit down and talk to Grandma Frida, giggle with Arabella, and commiserate with Nevada. Being able to write like that is a gift you willing share with us, the Book Devouring Horde, and we love you for it!
By the by, will there be a meet and greet in Orlando???
Elizabeth Lyn Barbee says
My favorite thing is Nevada always putting the next foot forward. It might be hard, it can even be probable that she’ll fail, but she just keeps going to protect her family.
Barbara says
I loved the evolving romance, the humor, the interaction of the characters, etc….. I got Burn for Me so this one would be a nice addition.
Barb
Leonie Stellmann says
I just love the world you created and all the characters in it, good and bad. Even though I hate the bad also. But they are as much a part of a good story as the other characters we love so much!
Dana says
I love the different varieties of magic- and the slow unfolding of who can do what. Can’t wait to know what Arabella turns into! I hope it’s TERRIFYING!
Taxicab confession: I have read all the snippets MULTIPLE TIMES this week.
Vicki says
I love the fact that I am constantly surprised! The characters – the story line – what a fun ride it is!
David Kay says
I love all the family members (I’m a guy, so I’ll say I “like” Roman), but my favorite is Nevada. I love strong female characters like Nevada and Kate because they are smart and admirable people without being perfect – they struggle with doubts and uncertainties like real people. They aren’t fearless, but they don’t let their fears stop them from doing what needs to be done, and they risk their lives to not only protect the lives of people they love but also any innocent person in danger that they encounter. I hate perfect characters – to me, a hero is someone who overcomes their imperfections to make the world a better place.
MR says
I really enjoy how stubborn Nevada is about being independent when it would be so easy to just sit there and let Connor fix things – especially when it comes to her own principles.
Pamela Runyan says
I love the fast pace. You can’t wait to see what happens next.
Monica says
I like the humor of all your series and how engaging and ‘real’ the characters are even as they wield magic. It has also been fun seeing y’all do research on my native Houston for Hidden Legacies.
Monica says
Oh, and thanks for putting out Wildfire on my birthday!
CA says
The character development, the wit, the plot that has you wanting more and the Authors’ interaction with the readers make it a great ride.
Gaganpreet says
I love how the authors have eloquently written character dynamics (family relationships/ Nevada and Rogan’s romantic relationship) so that I can experience their emotions and be able to witness their struggles and triumphs as if I am part of their world.
Ultimately they make me feel emotions that I may not understand/comprehend in reality.
Lauren says
I love the contrast between Nevada’s inner thoughts and her no nonsense verbal dialogue.
Tara says
I love the dialogue between Rogan and Nevada. Your writing always makes me wish I was 1/2 as quick, sassy, witty as Nevada (or for that matter, Kate) when they interact with others.
Breanna Parker says
I love the development of Nevada’s awesome mad skills! Oh and how can you forget the witty dialogue b/w Nevada and Rogan:-)
Barbara Baker says
I like Nevada’s disrepectful comments to Rogan
francheska says
I love the characters. the world building is great and very detailed. very catchy but the characters set it over the top! Nevada has a great inner dialogue I feel like she could make anything interesting. She could talk about snails and make me laugh. Rogan is so complex I want to believe he has Nevada’s best interest at heart but I still feel like he is hiding something. I cannot wait to get more of them and see their story unfold and how they react to its unfolding is beyond amazing! Humorous and intense all in one.
Teresa Pederson says
I love the grandma! She’s a hoot!
Jo O says
I love that the secondary characters are fleshed out and are interesting in their own right.
Marinella Casadei says
Rogan is the best. And the powers, they remind me of the best fantasy books, Le Guin’s and Zimmer Bradley’s ones. Last but not least, the great family of Nevada.
Debbie says
I love Nevada’s close knit family! I got a kick out of Leon!
Rachel says
I love grandma! So funny.. pictures or it did not happen!
Lauren M says
The banter, the progression of the characters, especially Rogan and how his relationship with Nevada affects him. There is never a boring part where you feel you’re just reading until the next good place. These books keep moving and I immensely enjoy them…
Mary says
The fact that i actually laugh out loud from some of the remarks. My husband dows t read so i get funny looks but i love Nevada’s family. We are gonna need books for them as well!!! Im about th read them again so when this one is released its the whole story ?
Amber P says
Love the building of characters and personalities. The world gets more complex and the reader continues to find out new things about the characters and world they live in.
Stephanie F. says
The unique world that you’ve created and wonderful bonds between these different characters.
Nyimah says
I love how every character is so developed. I feel like there are no minor characters. I also feel like I can see ever scene written. It’s like I am there or watching it in a movie.
Anne B says
The fact that it’s a story with heat, not heat with a story attached. The world created with Houses and Primes and the power differentials could spawn a variety of books in a variety of genres because it’s fleshed out and tangible. When I wish for a book about a character who had less than a page of story time, that’s when I’m hooked.
Lizz D. says
The respect and compassion Nevada and Rogan have for each other. 🙂
Elaine Clifford says
I have only read book 1 so far when it first was released, I was waiting for the final two books so I can read them all together. I love everything in this series! The character development, the natural build of emotions, Nevada’s family. Book 1 had humor, angst, awesome sexual tension and the secondary characters were just as interesting as Rogan and Nevada. Can’t wait to finish this series. So excited!!!! Thank you for ALWAYS giving us the best stories.
Adelaide says
What I like most is how you keep us guessing, the books are full of twists and turns that take you on a seemingly crazy unconnected-this-makes-absolutel- no sense-ride then everything becomes clear and the true evil genius plot comes through. Hail to the author-lords.
Miriam says
I love creativity in it’s many forms. The world-building is great, thinking up so many types of magic and organizing a system of power. The characters are also unique and never miss a chance to make an awesome comeback. But my absolute favorite part of the series is Nevada with Rogan, her dragon comparisons, to be specific. I love how she can compare anything Rogan does or says with what a dragon would do. They always make me laugh. Long-live the Rogan-Dragon!!
Z. Alice Zhuang says
The worldbuilding is AMAZING and he character development is unique and <3. I especially like Nevada's family and the way Rogan and Nevada develop as they get to know each other…how they learn about themselves and each other etc.. <3 <3 I'm always looking forward to reading your books, and listening to the audiobooks. I especially like how they are given voice!
Anita LaRrett says
I love the characters and the dialogue. They are funny and they come across as real.
Diana says
I have always like the worlds Andrews built since Silent Blade Kinsmen. Hidden Legacy just took it to a whole new level. But what truly attracts me are the Baylor family bonds and chemistry between Nevada and Roan.
Marion Destounis says
Hard to believe but I like this series more than the Kate Daniels one..but not quite as much as the Innkeeper. That said, I happily read everything you offer!
Rachel says
I love that I can read and reread the same stories multiple times, and really enjoy each time. Trying to wait until next week to start rereading BFM & WH so that I will finish when WF is ready to download on my kindle!
Kendra Townsend says
I love the personal journey of Discovery for Nevada, the strength of character she has, the hunger Rogan had for her.
This series is great!
LBHG says
Just have to love the ferrets! Nevada’s family, Connor, awesome action scenes and of course the romance !! Really loved everything equally ?
Liza Roberts says
Grandma’s character and the family dynamic is great. The inner commentary of Nevada’s thoughts and her banter with Rogan are the best. I love it when a book makes me laugh and cry and go through all the emotions of the characters.
Beverly says
My favorite thing is that Regan has no real idea how different Nevada is when it comes to how she desires her life to be. He is rich , hugely talented, and he is just a man who is trying to figure out the woman he loves. Nevada is the puzzle that will keep.him fascinated for all.his days.
Cathy B. says
I can’t wait to read White Hot. I like reading about the Nevada’s family and backstory. We haven’t heard much about Rogan except him having to practice magic with a dead Grandfather in the room! But I like that he is honorable to the men and women who he employs.
pang says
I love the two sisters. They are so fun to read. Although I may not necessary want them as my own sisters.
Karri says
I am a character reader. If the characters aren’t strong and well written with distinct personalities then I’m out. Ilona always delivers and this series is no different. Thanks again guys!!!
Ridhi Chowdhary says
I love Nevada and Rogan. I love the fact Nevada is so headstrong and that she doesn’t take sh*t from anybody and knows how to stand up for herself. The thing that endears her to me, is her love and loyalty to her family.
Rogan..In the first book I sort of hated him for kidnapping her and for doing what he did but then he was way too charming in all his Mad-Rogan-take-charge glory ..that he won me over. And let’s forget about his feelings for Nevada.
These two have a chemistry that jumps of the pages of the book.
Rita says
So hard to decide. Although I love both Nevada and Rogan, I think the world itself has to be my favorite. I think it’s ingenious.
Cathy Buttner says
I love your characters and backstories. They add depth to the characters. How Nevada’s family came to be: her Mom, Grandma, two sisters and two cousins. I also think it is funny that Rogan thinks Nevada is going to let him go because their bloodlines don’t match!
CandaceB says
I like Nevada and her family – how they interact with each other and how they always have each other’s backs.
Signe says
I love the way Nevada “slowly, and realistically” moved from complete distrust of Rogan
to finally realizing how much she loved him. Great job!
Mari says
I love Grandma she’s funny. I see her so clearly in my mind.
Wendy says
I love how Nevada softens Rogan.
Elenini91 says
I love Nevada’s character and of course her relationship with mad Rogan! I really can’t wait for the third book!
Ruth Harder says
I really like the family dynamic among all of them, they way they argue but always have each other’s back, and the power interplays, like between Nevada and her Mom. It makes all your books seem more ‘real’ and is one reason why I can re-read them again and again… that and the great snark, of course!
VanessaC says
I like all of the moments of levity even when they are under fire or stressed. I love that Nevada isn’t afraid of Rogan and that they have Nevada and Connor moments. I like that at any point Rogan does what he feels that he needs to, to keep her family safe, and she does the same for him. The world building is outstanding, and the various characters really shine. I love the mystery that is Nevada, her abilities are just emerging.
I love that I am excited to read whatever comes next in this world, better yet, I am enthralled! :-}
Sheila Dayton says
I loved the character development – I loved that Nevada got over her conflicted feelings regarding a deeper relationship with Connor relatively quickly in the book. I also loved that Connor dropped his guard enough to let her do that quickly. I really dislike when a book draws out the “I feel this way, but I shouldn’t” dilemma too long. At some point romantic tension turns into reader torture!”
pet says
I like a lot of things .But my favorite is the level-headednes Nevada has.When reading IA books you never expect to find tstl heroes.Thank you for this.:-)
MEGAN W. says
My favorite thing is the chemistry between Mad Rogan and Nevada. That, and the fact that I just keep reading this books over and over again. Can’t wait for Wildfire!
Jaclynn Aricheta says
I love the World you created with these books. I just love how you create a new environment for the characters to interact in. Each new series is as wonderful as the last. That takes a great deal of skill and imagination. Thanks so much for your books!
Melinda Cook says
Love the characters. Each one is fully fleshed out and have their own arcs which make this so much more than the plot which is great as well – fast paced, logical in the unraveling, and seamless in the worldbuilding. At its heart, this is as much about family as it is about politics, powers, and romance. Who wouldn’t love that?
Estara Swanberg says
Congratulations, awesome review ^^ – great to see they are on to a good thing there. I’m not entering the contest, I want to pay you money, so your publisher lets you write more of whatever books you want to write. I pre-ordered.
Linda M Smith says
There are so many things about the series that I love. The relationship between Nevada and her family. The chemistry between Nevada and Rogan. Nevada is a strong woman and leader of her family. So far I have the first book in all three formats. I tend to get my favorite authors in all three formats. I already have the ebook for the second and preordered the 3rd. I plan to get audio for the last two books. So I just need the paper versions of the 2nd and 3rd books. Even if I don’t win I’m still buying it. Win win either way!
Patty says
Like all your other books, it has incredible world building, complex characters that you feels so emotionally invested in, and the laugh out loud humor that make your books truly wonderful! I can’t wait for Wildfire and to see how this journey ends!
Sabrina says
I love everything about the books! But the best is probably the chemistry between Nevada and Rogan! Can’t wait for Wildfire!
Dawn Roberto says
I just got the first book since this series has been onmy radar since it was released. I look forward to meeting the characters and enjoying the series as a whole.
Becky Campion says
I really like the unconventional pairing of Nevada and Rogan. I think they are a unique couple in the paranormal romance genre.
Eli says
Many things, but the Pied Piper side story was another example of the layering you do so well. More than one hidden legacy coming through from your characters. On surface I think people assume it is all about Nevada and her talent but the story was dense with others. One of the things that make your books wonderful to re-read.
ssdl says
Love the relationship Nevada has with her family. No matter what they always have each other’s backs. Can’t wait to see what some of the hidden/not explained yet talents are.
Jennifer Diliberto says
I love that Nevada didnt just fall for Rogan at first sight and she held her own against an alpha male 🙂 I love Kate and Curran but this series has my love too!
Deb says
I love how you give each of your supporting characters such full and distinct personalities. In this series, I especially love the family scenes. (Go grandma!) You totally nail how family members have many quirks but fierce support for each other.
Like many of your fans, I’ve read (and reread) everything you’ve written and so look forward to each new book! Thank you for sharing your stories!
Christine Cook says
I loved watching Nevada and Rogan’s relationship build. I hope they can keep what they have.
Maggie W says
I love how the world is like a precursor to the Kinsmen of Silent Blade and Silver Shark or an extension of Alphas. I’ve always loved those stories, so having full length novels with similar power dynamics has been fabulous!
Suzanne says
I love that although Nevada and Rogan seem to be totally opposite at their core they share similar traits. They are both protectors at heart . Nevads with her family and innocents and Rogan with yhe people he hires after the system fails them… his “family”. I also love the dragon references to Rogan and keep picturing him as a fierce dragon protecting his horde of people not gold.
Nanda says
WOOT!!! Congrats on the 5 stars – every one of them well deserved! My favourite part of this series as with your other series is how you portray the family interactions. Thanks for writing so we can read 🙂
Heidi u says
I love the family in hidden legacy – the relationships and how they’re there for each other. I also love how Nevada doesn’t taken Rogans shit at all.
Sarah says
I’m having a hard time choosing just one. I do like Nevada and Rogan’s relationship and the family dynamic, but I think my favorite part is the the legacy world with all its abilities. I think it’s fascinating and would love to read more in this world!
Ellen Solensky says
One of the best story arcs in YEARS ! I’m not surprised it got 5 stars from RT although that rating is very unusual, it proves the reviewers have high standards.
Katherine says
Favorite thing, huh? There are so many things I love about the series, but if I have to name my favorite, I’d have to say the chemistry and byplay between Nevada and Connor. It’s funny and touching and sexy all in one yummy tangle.
JL says
I love everything about the Hidden Legacy! The depth of the characters. The interactions. The creation of the complex relationship – romantically, friendships, family, employers, people…
Renee Womack says
I have only red Burn for Me so far, I have White Hot to pick up today so I can start reading it. I love Nevada’s character and the building relationship between she and Rogan, he is such an alpha man. Nevada’s commitment to family is absolutely one of my favs, her family is a hoot! For some reason, the scene I liked the most is the basement scene when Rogan had Nevada and he thought he had her at advantage and how wrong Nevada showed him to be. I loved the first book, can’t wait to read the second and then get my hands on the third.
Diana Gr says
I love the family relationships, Rogan, and most of all the unexpected humor! Keep on keepin on! !
Latifa Morrisette says
I haven’t read The Hidden Legacy yet. But It is on my list.
Miranda says
Everything! The new powers and magic that I’ve never even thought about. The relationships. Grandma! All of it.
Melisa says
I love this series because the characters are alive and so very human. There are too many books where the main character is indestructible or knows everything. Nevada Baylor allows us to learn and grow with her In this amazing world and throughout the series. I cannot wait for the third installment!
Debbie Rose says
I love that the relationship between the couple is so balanced, and it is great to read strong female characters, who can stand up to the alpha males
Tonya says
I have not read this series yet but its on my to read list. Im behind in reading for many books.
Amy Podejko says
I haven’t had read the Hidden Legacy yet. I have been getting caught up on other series but this one is one of the next ones I’m reading!
SDL says
The entire ferret break-in scene.
lisab says
I’ve been obsessively re-reading passages from the first two books. What I like best are those that show the developing rapport and intimacy between Rogan and Nevada. And I keep wondering why there are no healers in this world.
Mary Francois says
My favorite thing about this series is how unique the world is. I love learning about all the different powers, particularly the truth seeker ability and Catalina’s power.
Lisa Hampton says
Anything y’all write is a wonderful story. Great interaction between characters, non-stop action throughout and great endings that leave you wanting more, more, more!!!!!! I was getting tired of romance stories; but you integrate so much more into the story, that makes it all worthwhile. Nevada is just the woman who can hold her own with Rogan.
Karen Francois says
I like all the subtle hints and foreshadowing about Arabella’s power, like the mention that a 25 ft hole in the wall isn’t big enough, or the fact that she would be kept in a cage. I’m really looking forward to finally finding out what she can do.
Diana Yang says
I love the family dynamic of hidden legacy. They’re all strong in their own way and each contributes the the safety of the family. They provide hilarious comic relief but can also immediately get together in serious moments. I am as invested in Nevada’s siblings path and secret powers as I am in her and Rogan’s story.
Gail Kim says
My favorite things about Hidden Legacy are the family dynamics and the way each family member demonstrates their loyalty to each other.
Gloria says
I like how strong and determined Nevada is. She also has a great family she is devoted to.
Mary says
Reading the books is like visiting a near and dear family. The characters are good people with flaws just like a family. They learn and grow and love each other through it all. I can’t wait to read Wildfire and I hope the series continues. I would miss further adventures in this magical world that has been created.
Melisa says
Hands down my favourite part of the Hidden Legacy series has got to be the family dynamics. So often in novels the family relationships of the main characters don’t exist, or are used purely as a vehicle to move the plot. In the Hidden Legacy series family is an underlying point of the plot all the time. Nevada’s family isn’t a convenience, it’s her life. Her mom, grandma, sisters and cousins are part of what drives her. Rogan also acknowledges this, and the scene when she invited him to dinner in White Hot was the best!! That’s when I knew it was a done deal. 🙂
Desi says
I love that the core of the books are about family. From the start, Nevada may have been putzing around with her magic, but she still took any job, big or small, to keep her family safe and protected. As the story has progressed (I love the inner monologues, btw) and we see Nevada grow into her magic, we see the family develop and grow as a group as well. They may all work together on a job, but the job is a job, and family comes first.
Becca says
There a few things I love about the story: the family dynamic, Nevada and Rogan and how they simple get each other…But what I love the most is Nevada’s character: She stays true to what she believes in, even when she knows it’s going to be difficult and treats people the same no matter how powerful they are or what their social status is.
I think that’s so rare in this day and age, but so beautiful and needed 🙂
Nora says
Nevada stays “herself” throughout the stormy. She is a strong, independent female character despite what is happening in the story. Be she in love, heartbroken or having a meal with family, she is who she is. No simpering, no sudden dumbing down, it is brilliant writing.
Teressa Heafner says
What’s my favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series? There’s probably too much to list. The magic, the romance, the banter, the strong world building, the even stronger characters. It would be easier to list what I don’t like about it… that there’s only 3 books, and the 3rd isn’t out yet.
Sarah O. says
I love the characters so much!
Kathryn says
I love that having power doesn’t automatically make you powerful. It is a step, but politics, rules, and power games play a part too.
Lydia says
My favorite thing about the series is Nevada’s relationship with her family. They all work so hard to protect each other and truly love each other. I also love the way that Rogan reacts to Nevada and her relationship with her family. He is so distanced from everything and seeing her relationship with her different family members seems to confuse him so much. I can not wait for the third book and much like the RT reviewer I hope we continue to see Rogan and Nevada and the rest of the family in the future.
May says
I am tempted to say everything but if I have to narrow it down to just one thing… it would be the relationships. It’s a lot of fun and romantic.
nbravin says
So- it is never hard to be a fan of Ilona and Gordon because they are all about giving us great stories that are well written and conceived with wit, style, grace, fantastic fantasy and a large dollop of whimsy.
The most obvious, best favorite thing is that the team once again gave us all a NEW SERIES that is just incredible.
Kayla says
I love all your books and I’ve read Burn for Me multiple times. But I’ve been holding off on reading the rest of the trilogy until both books are out. Otherwise I’ll get sucked in and live in a constant state of frustrated impatience waiting for the Wildfire release. This will drive me to go reread all your other series (again) and then I will get nothing else done when I’m supposed to be preparing to move houses…
Jennifer says
I love the world building (and the fact that it is set in my hometown is fun). Most of all I love the characters. Mad Rogan, Nevada and her family are the best. Can’t wait to see how this ends!
(Kay) Karen Wagner says
Absolutely enticed and always in the grip of terror, anticipation, excitement, passion.
Need MORE! More Hidden legacy, more KINSMEN, more Innkeeper.
Hooked on Kate Daniels especially as I live near Atlanta.
Especially love the family in Hidden Legacy and the guy (Rogan) on the outside looking in!
Amanda Young says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the magic houses and abilities. I think it’s great world building – but I think you guys do that really well. Your series’ use so many different ideas and then make them completely yours and new. I love it.
Alex Pryor says
I love the intricacies of the family dynamic contrasted against the politics if the magic world.
Kelly says
What can I say I never though Kate would have competition for best female lead but Nevada has tied her in my heart.
I love that you have another strong woman who isn’t waiting to be saved but is all about saving herself and those she loves. If Rohan happens to be ultra sexy and tough enough to keep up with her all the better.
I also love that Rogab doesn’t want to cuddle her, though it would probably make his life easier. He lets her use her strengths and stand next to her. Not in front ( though you can see he wants to) and definitely not in back.
Ellen says
There are so many things I love. As usual the humour great and the heroes are sexy. But I especially am intrigued by the complex magical world you have created
Emily Rose says
My favourite part is the Baylor family! I love their distinct personalities and how they always have each other’s backs.
Lea Bourg' says
I love Hidden Legacy because I’m very fond of the villains =D I always have a soft spot for the villains, for me a good book is above a good villain and there, I found them awesome !! They’re very different and unique in their own way, they’re not evil just because they’re evil, they’re human too and that’s what I really appreciated (and yeah I found Adam really funny xD)
Rachel says
Oh so many things to love about the series but especially Rogan, Rogan, Rogan! The ways he’s developed into a man to stand beside Navada and help with her battles though he’s obviously dying to slay all her dragons for her – witness the buying up of the land around her warehouse/home and the not telling her part until he had no choice 🙂
Am actually planning my vacation around the kindle release cos there’s no way I’m going out/to bed until I’ve finshing reading it!
Fingers crossed…..
Latricia Markle says
I think my favorite part of Hidden Legacy is Nevada’s family. They are awesome and interesting. From Grandmother to younger sisters all the females are strong and independant, but the two boys are just as great. So many books either make the men villans or weak to prop up female characters or have the females always getting saved by males in family dynamics.
I hope in the future there are more books about the family. I’d be thrilled with a mystery/detective series based on their family’s company.
Katie says
Nevada manages to face her fears calmly and yet remain open to love.
Mercy says
Honestly I love just about everything about these books but my favorite would have to be the dynamic between Nevada and Rogan, the way they developed over the course of the first two books was epic and I can’t wait until the next one.
Brittany V. says
My favorite thing about the series is the “feud” between Rogan and Augustine. I lost it when Rogan called him pancakes; I seriously laughed for ten minutes.
Please pick me! *jumps up and down with puppy dog eyes*
Christina says
I love the whole world of magic you guys created for this series. The history, the houses and families, the types of magic. As world builders, you guys are just awesome!
Katie Adams says
I love how Nevada has a family that works and functions together to solve things!
Frances says
While I enjoy the interactions between Nevada and Rogan, I love her family. They are a stalwart loving bunch who are funny to boot. Although when Rogan figured it about the dragons was pretty hilarious. I think you are both great writers, when there is a collection of stories I have varying favorites, but yours are always solid and enjoyable. I read them multiple times and they are always funny, sweet, full of action, and overall moving.
Tess says
I love everything about the Hidden Legacy series – strong female heroine, quirky family, wonderful world building, Mad Rogan, amazing writing, latent talents, etc. I never thought a series could compete with Kate Daniels as my favorite. Please extend this series!!!!!
Carol says
Lots of things are great about the Hidden Legacy series. I’ve enjoyed the arc of slow reveal on just how powerful Nevada is.
Erin Thompson says
My favorite thing is Nevada’s family; you’ve got grandparents, parents, siblings and cousins all living and working together, and it seems natural. They don’t actively want to kill each other.
Tabi says
The dragon… Romeo… Napoleon… the flowers being donated to a hospital.. securing dryer vents.. ok, there are too many great things — loving the series.
Anjali Vijayran says
To be honest i love everything about these books but my fav is the relationship between Nevada and Rogan and Nevada’s family specifically her grandmother
Laura says
I haven’t read Hidden Legacy!
Teresa says
Two books that are do not put down until you are finished. Burn for me and White Hot. Read today. They are great.
Samantha says
You really wont regret the lost sleep.
strangejoyce says
And the re-reads never ever get old! For all their books and stories…
Annabelle says
I always, always love magic and I’m fascinated by the world created by magic in Hidden Legacy. I never thought about it before but somehow it makes perfect sense that people would value the genetic legacy of magic the same way physical attractiveness or intelligence is valued.
Also, I love how important family is to Nevada and how for a change, the main character isn’t an orphan. Family is wonderful and also wonderfully, terribly complicated. That Nevada has to consider the vulnerabilities of her young family members adds depth to the story.
Hidden Legacy is a wonderful read because it’s not just about action/adventure or just romance but also humor and everyday life that makes me laught and relate to it even though ‘real’ magic doesn’t exist in the world we live in (apart from books and imagination).
Sandy Nguyen says
The most captivating aspect of the Hidden Legacy Series, for me, are the characters you have created. They are so memorable, so unique, and such individuals that they connect to the reader in a very genuine way. Oftentimes, with large character panels and huge story backdrops, certain characters become overlapped or are difficult to discern without active reading. It is not that way with this series. Rogan, in all his dominance, stands out above other fictional alpha boyfriends. Nevada, Grandma Frida, and her mom are all strong women who protect their family in spite of and beyond that of their deceased patriarch. All the children add color to their developing House. I completely adore and eagerly anticipate each book release in this series. I will be hard pressed to let them go at the series’ end. Your writing prowess has astounded me completely. Thank you for bringing this cast and this story to life!
Sherry S. says
What do I love about the Hidden Legacy series? Well, just about everything but most of all the chemistry between Nevada & Rogan when alone or battling an opponent. Just simply, the Hidden Legacy books are an awesome series!
Kathy says
The thing I love most about The Hidden Legacy series is the banter between all the characters and it only took until book two for Nevada and Rogan to have “relations”. I hate the tension is drawn out and I kept yelling at Kate and Curren to get it over with. ?
Sadly, I must admit that I have never actually read any of the books. I started with the audio and fell in love.
Mimi says
I like everything and everyone in Hidden Legacy but I think I’ve lost my heart to Leon, just as I did to Jack several years ago.
Cecelia says
I agree! The cast of characters is so interesting and I am always left wanting to know more about some of them and hope they will work more details into later stories. I am going to be so bummed if they don’t let us know what happens with Leon, and Cornelius, and the bear on Rogan’s crew. Maybe a series of short stories?
sue says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series are the other characters – Grandma Frida, Bern, Leon and Augustine. I love that Grandma smells like machine oil and iron, how serious and consciencous Bern is. I love Leon’s dramatics and his sense of humor. And Augustine has made me curious – what face is behind the facade? He seemed pretty self assured and lost a bit of that in the last book – he seems more human.
Sue Knapper says
And that would be “sparks fly.” LOl..egads!
Sue Knapper says
Sorry replying to wrong post! First timer. I’ll stop now.
Samantha says
Welcome. It’s all in good fun and great books.
Andrea says
I love these characters. Love them. Usually I don’t jive with everything in a character’s head, but Nevada is just perfect. Also Rogan, sigh….so interesting. The world building would be a close second to the characters. I am amazed that the two of you can create more than one awesome world in which your stories exist. It boggles the mind how good you are. I can’t pick a favorite world. They are each wonderful and stand alone. Excellent!
Mary says
One thing!?! You want me to name just one thing? That’s akin to asking Rogan to exit his ascent at the apex of his power or Nevada to capture poser fire boy Adam Pierce. If I can only name one thing. I’ll have to say Nevada’s family. They rock. They have power but they haven’t let it consumer their lives. Can’t wait to see how they handle the challenge of becoming a capital-H House.
Mary says
Consume…LOL!
Andrea H says
I love the character development, the humour, and of course the romance. I think this is a rich world with lots of fascinating characters. Nevada’s family, Leon, her sisters, her mother and Grandma Frida all have wonderful depth. Great series!!
Kristina says
The thing I love most about your books is that they give me an escape. They make me happy and excited and they’re one of the few books I can reread multiple times.
Stephanie says
I love the whole world you have created; you certainly think outside the box. And the humor is wonderful and so needful in our world. Thanks.
Michelle Manus says
I love that “strong female heroine” doesn’t mean Nevada charging headfirst into dangerous situations without thinking. Nevada is smart and resourceful. She has the training to handle the situations she puts herself into, and she always knows when she’s in over her head. My favorite aspect of the romance between Nevada and Rogan is that Rogan is every bit aware of just how powerful and intelligent Nevada is, and he loves her for those qualities rather than being threatened by them. He can sometimes be an over-protective ass, but that impulse originates from his desire to protect the woman he loves, not from a belief that she is helpless and needs protecting. I love in turn that Nevada doesn’t let Rogan’s tendencies to bulldoze over everyone monopolize her life. She is still her own person, and maintains her independence rather than taking the easy route of letting Rogan try to solve all her problems. I love how much I laugh during these books – you wouldn’t think there would be a lot of room for humor with all the explosions and near-destruction of cities, but I’m always giggling maniacally every fourth or fifth page. I read the books and then turn around and listen to them on audio.
Vickie Lincoln says
I have read a butt ton of paranormal series and I want to thank the two of you for introducing something new into that world. I find the whole Prime family infrastructure to be fascinating and I am looking forward to the Baylor family forming their own house with Nevada leading them. I also am enjoying the ride Nevada is taking Mad Rogan on. He is fighting her all the way and it is fun to watch. Can’t wait to add this next book to my collections!
Joylyn says
I know my chances are slim and I am so happy that so many people want this book! May that please equal more amazing books in this world!
I LOVE the relationship that is between Nevada and Rogan. She is not a dominate alpha personality but he still respects her. I think she is one of the only people in his life that he really does care for on a deep level. He also truly likes her and wants to spend time with her outside of bed. She is the whole package for him and he wasn’t expecting that. Nevada is also coming to realize how much she wants Rogan in her life everyday. She doesn’t NEED him but WANTS him. That is big for her also.
Thank you for the giveaway!
Leah says
I love everything about Hidden Legacy because in is is everything that makes Ilona Andrews in my top 5 favorite authors regardless of genre. I like the world building, the characters, writing style, the humor, etc. World building is really important to me and I really appreciate how all of Ilona Andrews books have very comprehensive ‘rules’ that really allow the stories to be rich and full. I do really enjoy the Kate Daniels books but I love how the Hidden Legacy books have slightly more grounded characters. The world seems to be closer to ours and not quite as fanciful as the Kate books but still allow the characters to do amazing things. I was really captivated by the first book and eagerly awaited the next two, I lost track of how many times I re-read Burn for Me. I echo the review and hope that there will be more than three books.
Rukshala Illukkumbura says
The best thing? The covers 😀 Seeing a book with the traditional romance cover makes me cringe, but opening up that lovely book and burying myself in it is worth ALL the cringes in the world!
Jokes aside my favourite thing is your amazing world building skills. Houston, we definitely do not have a problem!
Nina says
I love Rogan’s vulnerability. He is in so many ways an archetypical hero – strong, ruthless, disciplined… he can seem all-powerful. I saw a tote bag today that said “Heroes never tire” – what a despicable sentiment! Heroes tire because they are human too. I love that Rogan is shown to be human and vulnerable – but in a subtle way.
Evelyn Farr says
I adore this trilogy and would love to see it expand with more books or stories. There are so many wonderful things about these books that make them such a joy to read. I wasn’t surprised at all with the gold star rating because you all are superb writers (plus it validated me as a discerning reader!). I love much about this series, but for me it is always the characters that make or break it. Nevada and Rogan are wonderful strong interesting characters. It has been fun watching them interact and fall in love. The other thing I so love are the Baylor family. The love and loyalty they show to each other is astounding. I can’t wait to read this book and see how things turn out!
Melliane says
thanks for the giveaway! I love that the story presents a family like that where they all present for the others in any case!
Felicia says
I love Nevada’s grandma and the teasing way she leads the charge in the family rumor mill.
Samantha says
*Head nod* yep that’s awesome.
Christy says
I am so appreciative of your ability to create characters and worlds that make sense, draw you in and leave you wanting more. Besides liking Nevada, her family (paternal Grandmother excluded…probably…if you can redeem Hugh you can undoubtedly redeem anyone…anyone fictional, that is) and Rogan as people, I’m happy that their story arc will be complete in three books. Wait…three books are not enough. Not nearly enough.
KCG says
I love the strong female lead-Nevada doesn’t wait for someone else to save her, but she isn’t a neurotic “I must do everything myself and never count on anyone” heroine, either.
I also really like the world you’ve created—it is unique and I look forward to discovering more about it.
Vas says
I love the strength of character Nevada shows, not crossing the lines of falling into power over or power for powers sake. I love that Rogen is trying to do what is his idea of what is best for Nevada. I love Nevada’s Mon telling the youngest cousin and 2 sisters what it is to be a man/ woman with strength of character, self respect, and conscious use of power (not misusing power). I love the intensity of emotion, the stubbornness, and the carrying for the less powerful, and the children. I love how the characters grow and evolve. I love the introduction of new characters and how interesting they are as well as the strong feelings they evoke! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Darlene Mckenzie says
Love Nevada and her family. Great story and dialogue.
Sue Knapper says
Always spot on!!! The supporting characters are as much fun as watching the protagonists’ slarks fly. There’s always an amazing amount of fun woven into the action. A new I. A. book is the best time, requiring an immediate second read and then the whole series from top to bottom. It’s a serious jones.
Sue Knapper says
Yeah…the “sparks” thing.
Cherry says
What do I like about Hidden Legacy? Where do I start… the unforgettable characters, the compelling story telling quality, the wonderful world building, the substantial plot, the masterful weaving of the story…. it is easier to tell you what I do not like, because that list is considerably a whole lot shorter… and that would be the waiting! 🙁
Donna says
Which am I more eager for, the return of GoT or Wildfire? Hard to say. Luckily, not much more time until both are here!
Fred Riley says
I love that Nevada doesn’t have that inner angst so many heroes have. The one where she’s so conflicted about using her powers or following her heart. Every decision isn’t an existential crisis for her. It doesn’t take chapters of angst and self-reflection to come to a decision. She is practical decisive and although powerful she hasn’t become so powerful she is God powerful, something that sadly happens as most series progress. And there haven’t been any of the tired and trite romance plotlines to advance their relationship. No sudden misunderstandings that do not fit the characters established characteristics just to advance the breakup and get back together storyline.
Racheal C. says
I love Nevada and Rogan. Their interactions just make me smile. I really enjoyed reading the Rogan POVs. It was really interesting to see what people thought about him vs. what was going on in his head. I reread the first book several times before the second one came out and now I’ve read that one twice. They are ridiculously good.
Sarah says
I love the world building, and how the overall story hasn’t stalled even though Rogan and Nevada got together. The magic systems are fascinating and quirky. I think my favorite thing are the espionage rodents and Sgt Teddy though. They made my day.
Alicia says
Nevada’s commitment to family and her willingness to protect those weaker than her make her a tremendous character and I’ve loved how her relationship with Rogan has grown.
Kelly says
I love this series! I love how strong Nevada has to be to keep her family safe and not homeless. I also love that she has found a man that loves her and can help her keep her family safe. Take a little stress off her shoulders. Rogan might be beating Curran for my book bf right now…
bungluna says
Ferret heist!
Marta M Cox says
Can’t wait to read this
Charlie Morgan says
Rogan. RoganRoganRogan… 😛
Patti Ruocco says
Once again you’ve created an unforgettable world that I can’t visit too often. Not only are Nevada & Rogan wonderful characters (with depth as well as hotness!) They are fun & have great dialog. And they are far from alone. The whole cast, whether secondary or opposing are folks I’d love to see more of. So hoping this series continues! If not as novels as shorter stories with other characters maybe? I’d love to get Nevada’s mother’s story, her siblings of course, and something fun with Augustine. I live the many sides you’ve shown he has, & would love to see more of him.
Grace Shelton says
the magic!
Lubna Al Mahbobi says
There are a lot of things I love about the Hidden Legacy trilogy; the fact that Nevada is a perfectly written character of what a twenty something woman would be is one, the way the Baylor family dynamic is unique and so similar to mine (my family is very close and we work hard to maintain that), or maybe romance (definitely the healthy dose of romance ;))
Needless to say it’s one of my favorite series and it helped brighten up some not so bright days 🙂
Elaina Roberts says
Rogan. Just Rogan. His and Nevada’s conversation after he killed Peaches in Burn for Me still makes me giggle. Every. Single. Time.
Joannah says
Mad Rogan is the best part of Hidden Legacy. The Baylor family is great, by without Mad Rogan, I would not be as drawn to this series.
Cora says
The romance between Nevada and Rogan is electric, the amount of love and respect each gives the other is satisfying on so many levels. The world of hidden legacy is so rich and detailed, heaven forbid but I might actually like these books more than Kate Daniels.
Mairi says
Bad Granny
Laura Engerer says
What I love is the interaction of multiple generations in the protagonist’s family and most notably a protagonist that has parents and grandparents active in her life. When her sisters teased Nevada with the bridal magazine pictures it really resonated with me because that same thing happened between two of my cousins at a family gathering. I love all of your books, but what I really hope to see more of in future books is the three generation interaction that happens throughout the entire book. What made me pick this book up for the second and third time is the loving teasing that happens in a family knows each other well. Seeing this family makes most other attempts that I see in books at family dynamics look wooden or contrived.
Meagan Watts says
I have to pick one favorite thing, so….I love the way I’m constantly being surprised with things I didn’t expect. EX: the way we didn’t know until book two that Nevada’s little sisters even had gifts, let alone the power and nature of just one of them, and then the tantalizing hints of what the other might be. And yet, I never feel like I’m being taunted as a reader, because there’s always something interesting going on. OK, I also love the way Nevada just wants to get on with her job and really does NOT want to kick ass, but she will if she has to.
Ashley says
The family dynamic within the Baylors and their awesome warehouse/office/armored vehicle garage!
Anna says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series (besides Mad Rogan of course) is how badass Nevada is and Grandma Frida!
Cecelia says
I have been trying to explain to friends why I like your writing in general, which applies to all your books, not just Hidden Legacy, and I realized my favorite aspect of your style is the seamless alternating POVs. Specifically for the Hidden Legacy series, it’s the well-paced humor and action and the way you tie in the sizzle of attraction throughout the story without being heavy handed about it.
Cecelia says
I had to add this, my favorite quote from White Hot, because I have 4 sisters: “We probably won’t need to besiege the fort. My sisters will be coming.” I laughed so hard, and I couldn’t even explain it to anyone because you’d have to both be familiar with Hidden Legacy and my sisters to get it.
strangejoyce says
I so get that! I have four older sisters and that’s how we roll. ?
Anne Macdermott says
I too adore this series. Nevada’s family are just so loving, and supportive. Grandma Frida stands out, certainly not your traditional grandma, with her fixing/improving tanks/armoured vehicles instead of the usual knitting/crochet hobbies!
Rogan and Nevada together as well are just so brilliant, my favourite aspect of the stories I think. You couldn’t have invented better characters than these. Rogan is so powerful, yet he doesn’t treat Nevada like a damsel in distress, recognising her strengths and abilities. There is always something different and quirky going on, I don’t know how you keep your stories so fresh and each one so very different. I just enjoy it all. Brilliant!! I first read “Of Swine and Roses” and was hooked with this very magic world.
Mickey says
The none stop action, humour, lust, and the ferret heist. Unbelievably good reading. Really really really hope this is not the last book in the series. totally addictive. More… want more…
Samantha says
What’s not to love? The perfectly written frustrations, “I’d pull his legs out.” I don’t even know what that means and I still know exactly what she’s talking about. 2 older brothers and no one ever induces violent urges like beloved family.
Myranda says
I love the characters! Nevada and her family, Rohan, everyone!
Shayla says
Nevada. She is such a strong woman, so realistic and pragmatic. I wish I could find more heroines like her out there in the literary world…
Judy says
Everything! Who can pick just one thing, but Cornelius and his animals are a fabulous addition.
Lorree says
I can hardly wait!
sosso victoire says
this serie is one of my favorite, the relationship between nevada and rogan is so spendid one feels that they are so perfect one for other. I am impatient to plunge back into their adventures and to review all their entourage
Sharon Moore says
I love Nevada’s loyalty to her family. Nevada and Rogan’s relationship is amazing.
Regina Ho says
OMG? what’s not to like about this series? Hot guy, steamy sex and romance ?..girl power! Throw in abit of paranomal to add spice to the mix and its a winner in my humble opinion! I especially like how the characters grow in each novel and the flow of the story is so smooth, be it from a male or femae pov! It can only be topped if there actually were real life Rogan & Nevada (& quirky family) with all their “super powers” for us to meet!!??Can’t wait for Wildfire!!
Lee Ann Gaddis says
I enjoy Nevada finding her way. Transcending beyond her beliefs in the name of family and love.
Merry Z. says
What is wrong with my parents? Why did they not name me Nevada when I was born? Why isn’t our last name Baylor? Nevada Baylor is my imaginary alter ego.
Anzbecks says
Baylor family dynamics!
Angela C. says
The unique magic abilities. It’s so diverse and Nevada. She is one strong women with a great head on her shoulders. Thank’s for the chance.
Bernadette Rainey says
I love the ensemble secondary characters, especially Grandma Frieda.
Anita Yancey says
I haven’t read Hidden Legacy, but I’m sure I would enjoy it. Thanks for this chance.
Hollie says
I agree with Ferret heist! And I love the strong family bond. Oh, and Mad Rogan!
Maggie Young says
Gran and her tank 🙂
Kirsten Young says
Anticipation!
I love being constantly entertained. From dialogue, to relationships, to next action scene, I’m always excited for the next page or the next sentence. Love this series!
Patricia says
I love everything in this series! The worldbuilding, the caracters and their development, the jokes, the family dynamics 😀 Looking forward to Wildfire!
Nancy C. says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy? How beautifully and realistically the dialogue flows. The interaction amongst characters is totally believable
Heidi says
Nevada!
Marna says
I love the world of Hidden Legacy, Nevada’s whole family dynamic, the way magic seems real, & Rogan’s apparently unlimited supply of money! LOL
Anna says
I love the story, the interaction between Rogan and Nevada and the sense of family! What is there not to love!
Michelle D says
It’s the world building, characters and chemistry
Natalia says
I actually just received White Hot and Burn For Me in the mail today! Reviews on Amazon sounded amazing so I went for it and bought both books knowing that I will love it and would hate to wait for second book to arrive 😉
Lee says
Your writing. I can picture what you write. Impress with the details and logic.
Laura says
I really love the family dynamics with the series and how each family member is there own character rather than just ‘the family’.
Jennifer Martinez says
I love how Nevada is a strong female lead going after what she wants!
Artstuff2 says
Love everything but Bunny sounds way cool!
Kent K says
The problem with any one favorite moments…are that you can’t acknowledge all of your favorite moments. So, I thought about the things I kept going back to re-read. I loved the flowers Rogan had set up outside of Nevada’s home. Nice touch! Or the way she says…”okaaayyyy, I’m not talking to you anymore”. Totally cracked me up. Or when grandma says…”why is baby hurt?”. So…can’t stay with just one moment.
Tiger Kite says
I love the world-building and characters and…JUST ALL OF IT!
I can’t wait to meet evil Grandmother (I’m thinking of a Caldania/Yevodkia F1 cross).
M says
My favorite thing is the dialogue between Nevada and Rogan. My 2nd favorite thing is the ferrets.
Dorothy Lounsbury says
I love the interactions between Nevada and her siblings! Not to mention Grandma… 🙂
Susan McKinney says
What’s not to love? I love everything about the books, from the Gun-wielding Mom to the sisters giving Nevada grief about her boyfriend.
mgoto says
How exquisitely nuanced each of the characters is–major or minor–in the storyline is my favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series, aside from the fact that the books come from my two favorite authors!
Jennifer says
My favorite part of the series is Nevada’s family.
Michael Copeland jr says
Nevada is not a damsel in distress but not so overly masculine that she loses her femininity. The family aspect is well entrenched and makes for a richer experience.
Tania says
Nevada’s family who might not understand her decisions sometimes but definitely support them, who don’t spend the next 20 years saying ‘I told you so’ without offering constructive solutions, who give her space and yet remain close
Vroni says
…that it does exist. Seriously, there is no best – it is the combination of only the best.
Nice weekend to everyone!
BR, Vroni
cin says
I love pretty much every aspect of the Hidden Legacy books, but what I like most are the family relationships.
NCliffer says
Family support, humor, romance, awesome people, world-building, and stories that are just as good on the 5th or more reading as they were on the first. This, and the Innkeeper series, are my favorites of Ilona and Gordon’s creations.
Fatima says
All your writing seems so realistic. Beautifully written scenery, great dialogue, and an interesting storyline that never fails to startle me. As in how did you guys think of that? What? No, that can’t be happening, kind of startled.
The way you guys pulled Indian mythology in Burn for Me, was brilliant. I love the magic in Nevada’s world. It so perfectly natural.
The contrast in the backgrounds between Rogan and Nevada seems insurmountable at first, but, then everything develops so realistically that nothing seems out of line. Their relationship is amazingly developed.
Their personality clashes are amazing, the romance (It may actually be white hot), the power difference or status difference and the way you guys handled it was perfect.
I love GrandMa Frida. Seriously, tank toting, the picture snapping; I-wont-believe-it-until-you-have-a-picture-of-it attitude is awesome.
Nevadas dynamic family is cool. The interactions, the sister battles, the computer genius, the mom, the secrets. It all seems as if i’m seeing my family in writing. It’s so real.
Arabella is so like my little sister.
But the best thing about the hidden legacy world is the natural incorporation of magic in it. The way it fringes every corner and lurks around everyone.
I lied. Another best thing is the duologue between Augustine and Rogan. It is hilarious. The oneupmanship games, the now-in-office-so-have-to-act-civil act. Awesome.
I do hope we get more of them.
Odile says
Nevada’s a heroine who has her head on her shoulders but doesn’t have a giant chip on them. She’s competent but willing to scream and run if it’s the most effective thing to do.
Cathleen Filan says
I love this series and I think Rogan is the perfect partner for Nevada. They are smart, funny and powerful!
Vicki Petticord says
I love them all. Strong main characters that balance each other is my favorite.
Kennedy says
The interplay between Nevada and Rogan is great. Rogan’s complexity and his gradual return to humanity and Nevada’s maturation into the magic world so they can eventually live in each other’s world is interesting to watch.
The family characters provide the right amount of humor and counter balance to the plot and main characters.
Thanks for writing the series!
Deborah C. says
What I love most about this series is how Nevada and her family rely on each other, and how they bring Rogan into their family.
Monica says
This series is awesome. I love how persistent Rogan was with having Nevada. He’s seriously hot and made me laugh a lot! Then there is her family who is a riot! There are other characters I really like as well. Thank you for the chance! XO
Alice Lee says
I love so much about the Hidden Legacy series, one of which is Navada and Conor Rogan’s slowly blossoming relationship. Nevada gets to know the the caring and honorable man beneath his cold and frightening demeanor. Rogan comes to respect and develop a fascination for Nevada…she’s also the only one not afraid to but heads with him, which must be refreshing for him. There’s no insta-love, but a realistic unfolding of fear-to respect-to interest, that I belive will result in an epic love story regardless of the roadblocks the will have to face.
Alice Lee says
I love so much about the Hidden Legacy series, one of which is Navada and Connor Rogan’s slowly blossoming relationship.

She’s also the only one not afraid to butt heads with him, which must be refreshing for him. There is no insta-love, but a realistic progression of feelings from fear/annoyance-to respect-to interest, that I belive will result in an epic love story, regardless of the hurdles that prevent them from being in a relationship at first
Carolin B. says
The best thing about the hidden legacy series is the grandma!!!!
Katrina Y. says
Nevada is such an amazingly independent and strong minded heroine who is willing to walk through hell itself to protect the people she cares about. She is also powerful but never conceited about it and improves herself through her own will. However Nevada’s strength doesn’t come without a downside, that being that she is too prejudiced against Primes to admit to her own abilities.
The dynamic she forms with Rogan is complex and compelling. I love how Rogan helps Nevada come into her own power. The characters balance one another out, Nevada’s compassion and Rogan’s ruthlessness. Neither one of them is perfect, both powerful and intrinsically flawed, but they do truly seem to bring out the best in one another.
The concept of the magic houses and the magic system is fascinating and a world I would love to live in. There is a huge potential for other interesting stories in the world of Hidden legacy.
Nevada’s family and the side characters are also great, Grandma Frida being one of my favorites followed closely by Leon, Bern, Augustine and Cornelius.
I’m just in LOVE with this entire series. I love the characters and setting. I Love how complex, compelling and sexy it is.
Betty says
As much as I love Rogan and how you really come to see how three dimensional and HUMAN he is, my favorite part of Hidden Legacies is a toss up between Nevada herself and the magical world Andrews has created.
Nevada, because she has a pretty clear opinion of herself and doesn’t dwell to much on what ifs and could haves. She doesn’t think she’s all that, but she’s a levelheaded honest person and has a strong work ethic. Even more than that she absolutely loves her family and does every thing she can to show her love and protect them. Her family is such a tight knit unit and they may argue and disagree but when trouble comes, that stays aside and they unite like a little army.
The world building because, I live about an hour from Houston and love imagining it as though it truly were full of magic. The idea that one could have even a small relatively insignificant power intrigues me to no end and leaves me yearning for it to be the truth.
Succotash says
I love that the characters are real people with real thoughts and emotions.
But really my favorite part is the ferrets breaking in and Bunny. Bunny rocks and acts like a dog with a 5 year old as a friend.
cheryl z says
I love the humor and devotion of Nevada’s family
Carla Emmons says
My favorite part is the Baylor family – their unique personalities, their relationships to each other, and how dedicated they are to their beliefs.
OvrDrv says
Grandma Frida for sure. Animal mage action is a clo
se second..
sarah k says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the relationship between Nevada & Rogan and also her whole family.
Melanie says
I like that Nevada takes risks, but she isn’t reckless. I can’t wait to see what happens when she goes toe to toe with House Tremaine.
Jessica Rock says
It’s hard to pick just one thing, but…
I love that the character exposition isn’t finished quickly – even after multiple reads of the first two books, I can’t wait to read the next, because I want to know more about Nevada’s family, including more details about their magical abilities. I also really like that Nevada can’t just “fix” Connor, and that the relationships in the book are very “real” – not simple to navigate.
Joanne says
I love how realistic the characters are. They are all consistent with their personalities and the interactions between them could have been taken from real life scenarios. If we had had the osiris serum amd magic in our world of course.
I love the pace of the books too. There is always something going on, it flows from one scenario to the next without having the characters up for a week without feeling tired. They seem real.
Thank you for writing and sharing your stories with the world, you make it a brighter place!
Katie says
Grandma Frida!
Anne Orens says
My absolute favorite is the Grandmother – mechanic grandma. Perfect. Well ok, the bridal note on the door was pretty good too.
Rachelle says
I love that Nevada can hold her own with someone so powerful, and she makes the most of her abilities.
I read “Hidden Legacy” but I haven’t read “White Hot” yet — my plan is to binge-read all three books one weekend, as soon as I get the third book!
Teresa says
I love everything about these characters, they are so real in their emotions and issues. Rogan with his control problems and Nevada with her protection issues. together they make a wonderful couple trying to compromise and not succeeding very well, and having great adventures while doing so. the humor is also very wonderful and sort of the snarky, sarcastic, tongue in check type I love to read.
have I mentioned I buy everything you write because I know I will NEVER be disappointed. here’s hoping you two live a long and productive life.
Tammy Fourre says
I love Nevada’s grandmother. She makes me laugh.
JanLo says
Love the family interactions. Especially love grandma and mom and their immediate readiness to deal with intruders. Want this series to continue. Fascinating world.
Shiuli says
Just need to say I loved the book…my favourite part was when she realised she loved Rogan and it hits her that he loves her too.
The scene in the underground canyon/cave/dark place? Was so intense that I felt Nevada stress.
Stephanie says
My absolute favorite thing is the characers and not just the main ones
That add depth to all of ur stories and this series is no exception
HopeT. says
Such a good book! I look forward to Wildfire.
Jenny Keck says
I haven’t started yet. I have to finish another series first. Looking forward to reading!!
Tola Ogidan says
I love the dialogue with the family.
Heather says
I love everything. My favorite though is Nevada and her family. Honestly, I wish I had her grandma!!?
Morgane C says
I absolutely love this series ! The romance, the magic and world-building, the good guys AND the bad guys, the “OMG I can’t believe this just happened” moments… But my favorite is the Baylor family : I love all the characters (Grandma Frida is awesome XD ) but most of all I love the way they interact with each other : love, care , respect, support… such a wonderful family !
And I can’t wait to see how they will deal with Leon’s magic and his reaction when he finds out !
Ericka says
I love your world-building in all your series, and in the ‘hidden legacy’ series, I think I love the characters the most. I love how Nevada’s family relates to each other, and the vividness (is that a word?) of each distinct character.
neurondoc says
It’s hard for me to choose between the clear and complex world-building and the well-drawn and human characters (even minor characters). So I’m going with both. 🙂
Grace says
I love the importance of family in this series. Each member has their own strength and a distinct personality. Also, the sass in the Baylor family is real, I love it.
Jacqueline Tran says
That Nevada has ended up being well-matched for Rogan, powerful in her own right and not a helpless damsel.
Travin says
Love the family, and enjoy the relationships between everyone. Just plain love everything I’ve read so far written by the author lords. (Though won’t mind a few more pov) thank you
Milly says
The Baylor family dynamics are my favorite part of the story. The way they joke and make fun of each other. Makes the story feel believe able. Makes you want to root for them.
Linda George says
I truly love the way Nevada is determined to keep the family business and the family together no matter what. She is so awesome at what she does, Amazing character.
Alex says
I love that it’s a romance, but with an actual plot that’s well thought out and engaging. You guys always deliver, so thanks for the fabulous books!
Stephanie Leif says
Grandma shooting the tank. I say the series must continue until Grandma has a good time
Laura says
It’s hard to pick one favorite thing, but I’m going to go with the family dynamics: how they all love and (mostly) support each other but also have such wacky relationships.
Terri koepke says
I love Nevada’s family. When I read those parts I feel like I’m a part of their chaos.
Alison Green says
I love everything, so my favorite thing is that you’ve said there will be at least one more. : )
Cheryl says
My favorite part is the anticipation of knowing I will be able to escape from life for a while with characters that feel as real as my neighbors and friends. I love the way you make them come alive!
Rae says
Ooh I literally just blogged about this:
‘This is the moment when Nevada realises that Rogan has combat-induced trauma, because she’s seen her mother dealing with the same thing.
One of the reasons I love Ilona Andrews’ books is that they always go right up to the edges of what I can put up with – in this case, the hero apparently being psychotic – and then flip it around with one ohhhh sentence.
Oh – I get it. Oh – that’s why he did that. Oh – if you look at it from that point of view…
And I love that mental illness and mental health are something the characters are aware of and work on.’
Ann says
Wonderful characters, cohesive world building, great pacing, and best of all the humor. You write books I keep re-reading!
Marisol says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the interactions between the Baylor family. They have such a close knit bond that I absolutely love! They seriously crack me up.
Christine says
It is hard to choose just one favourite thing, because I love everything. Nevertheless, the whole background and relationships in the Baylor family are adorable to read ?
Regina says
I love how close Nevada’s family is, and how they interact. Gotta love those constant pics for Grandma’s sake!
Nora-Adrienne Deret says
Totally enjoying the series. I finished yesterday afternoon and already started checking the nearby county libraries to see which one has this book on their order list. Of course I’d much rather own my own copy to share with my #1 son who enjoys this genre also. Nevada and her family are a true kick ass and take names group who totally rock their story.
Paula says
It’s quite simple really, you two are my favorite thing!
Andy Lawler says
The wit and the complexity.
Jolene H says
Family. It’s all about family – loving each other even when it gets tough. And I love seeing the family pull in Mad Rogan. Hope that continues!
MV Braverman says
The family dynamics! I rarely see multigenerational families living together, especially in UF.
Hayley F. says
I love the interactions between Rogan and Nevada. They have great chemistry. One of my favorite parts was when he sent her hundreds of flowers.
Sherri says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the world you have built: I look forward to learning more about the Houses, their strengths and weaknesses, and how we got to this point.
Hollie H says
I haven’t read the series yet! I’ve bought the first two and my binge is going to start the minute I’ve got the third!!! So excited for its release! 🙂
sarafina says
Wow, what self control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daniella Williams says
The slow-burn between Nevada and Rogan have me all In. Between their antics, and Neva’s family, I’m even more in if that was possible. I can’t wait to find out more details on Arabella’s power, and the main mystery is great as well.
Michelle Liechti says
My favorite thing is regardless of the tense situations Nevada is in, she still finds humor…taking pics on her cell phone for her grandma 🙂
Melissa Peterson says
I really can’t decide if it’s the world-building or the complexity with which you create your protagonists. I saw a quote somewhere that was attributed to Neil Gaiman: “Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes.” Looking through your characters’ eyes at the worlds you’ve built, well, it’s one hell of a ride!
Ara says
I love that they’re books I can reread…the world is super fun and it’s super that the magic follows complex, but reasonable, rules.
B4SunRyz says
I love the world-building and the dynamics between Nevada and Rogan
Colleen Keller says
I love the growth of the characters and the descriptions of the new social structure/world that helps make everything real.
Anne says
The same thing as your Kate Daniels series, besides having interesting main characters, there’s a great collection of interesting (and snarky) secondary characters.
Zuzana says
I love the the humor, the chemistry between main characters. You have an amazing writing style, it’s difficult to say what exactly I like because it’s everything.
Cat says
Grandma Frida. I love a series with a snarky grandma.
LauraR says
I love the strength of these characters, even the evil ones.
Carol says
I love how each person has their own magic, but is not all powerful. And that they are still family!
Michelle says
I love the magic/world building, it’s always an enjoyment to learn about Nevada’s powers!
Angela ReadingCa says
I love the supernatural element, and Rogan (can’t even lie…he is hot).
sakinah says
My favorite things is the family dynamic…specifaclly the dynamic that arises from all of them living together. We’re a big immigrant family, and so the conflicts that arise from multi-generational living are sooo funny to me. Interestingly enough, it really reminds me of my husband’s family. They were grandma, her daughter, and her 3 kids, and they actually had some cousins live with them from time to time! Anyways, really love that dynamic–the humor, loyalty, angst, love, annoyance, that all arises out of it. I also love that unlike so many worlds, this one shows the real price that is to be had from having money/power…too many books have the neat happy ending once you marry into power or wealth. Thank you fo this contest! Congrats on the review…I did not know that they awarded 5 stars lol
Jessica says
I love the sense of family in this series. It’s great to see families that work together to solve problems… and work on tanks.
Hannah says
I always love your books. But i especially love the strong females characters you always have in them. Too often books start their main female ladies strong but when a big alpha man walks into the picture the women turns into damsels in distress who forgot how to think for themselves. That doesn’t happen in your books. I love how your female characters are all strong, smart and independent to the end.
Kara says
The storytelling is my favorite. It appears effortless and yet the deeper you examine it, the clearer it is exactly how much work “effortless” really is.
OlderGeek says
I like the reslistic concerns and every-day details that make this story real. Mealtimes and homework give the story depth.
Terryl Johnson says
I love how you peel back the layers of each of your characters a bit at a time until we have intimate knowlege of their personalities, histories and motivations, which are always a nice shade of gray instead of being black and white caricatures. Your research and knowlege of areas as diverse as military weaponry and jargon to Houston streets and suburban areas make the books infinitely believable, and I look forward eagerly to each new book you publish!
Lisa Lenox says
I live that it’s written by my favorite writing team (*sucking sound*)! I love pretty much everything you guys write, but I love Nevada and Rogan. Their contentious relationship has grown very organically into something very special.
Lisa Lenox says
I would LOVE it if I could type LOVE instead of live. And FOR instead of fir.
Karen the Griffmom says
Gramma and the cousins.
Deepika says
I love all your books. Thank you so much for writing these books as they are a way for me to forget the sadness in my life. I love Nevada’s character since she is strong and I hope to be like her. Please continue writing more in all your series especially Kate Daniels, Innkeeper and ofcourse Hidden Legacy. Lots of love 🙂
Hilda says
I love that it destroys parts of Houston (I once lived there) and that the family is so close.
Alina says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is Nevada Baylor. In Burn for Me there she was fierce and independent and wasn’t afraid to stand up to people who wielded more power than her like Augustine, Rogan, and Adam Pierce. She didn’t let herself get relegated to the background even though she doesn’t wield power or have money, she stood up for her idea of justice and law and is rewarded for it at the end. Many PR books are written from the female’s perspective but the Hidden Legacy series’ is one of the only times that made me love the ‘voice’ of the book.
Payton says
My favorite things are how badass Nevada is and how flushed out the characters are!
Julie says
It’s hard to pick out any one thing. It’s really the whole package, from incredible chemistry, to mind blowing world building. I can’t wait to read Wildfire and hope I get to see you both at Comic-Con.
momcat says
I most enjoy the interplay and development of the family characters. The possible addition of a dragon to the family makes me laugh. They can handle it. Can he?
Xine says
My fave is the kooky family members. I especially love Nevada’s relationship with her gma.
Bridget Thompson says
I love the world building! I have spent a lot of time thinking about this universe. Nevada’s attitude about life and family really resonate with me. I really hope you guys write more books in this world. Thank you for such a great series☺
Maria Kneipple says
I haven’t started the stories yet,but will start the binge reading as soon as I get the next one!
Maria says
The fast pace of the story. It’s hard to stop reading!
Nisha says
I love Nevada’s family dynamic!
MamaOfThree says
There are many things I love about this series. My favorite is how well- fleshed out all the characters are, not just Nevada and Rogan. I love the vein of humor that runs through the books.
Please keep writing books that make me smile even on my worst of days!
Paula says
I love the Baylor family dynamic. The warmth, humor and love that is so readily apparent in all of their interactions is a delight to read.
Elaura says
I love the world that you have built! It has a wonderful and amazing background that shows the difference from our world. Lastly, much like your other stories the dialogue is beautiful and real.
Jen Kyle says
My favorite, is finding out how much he has done for her without her knowing. Buying the neighborhood to protect her. He is a great guy and she deserves him.
Liz says
I love her strength. I love a female character that can do things for herself.
Laila Granberg says
I have yet to read the hidden leagacy triology. Yay for that! I absolutely love the books about Kate Daniels and look forward to absolutely love hidden leagacy.
Deb says
Love Nevada’s strength, independence and commitment to her family and how she and Rogan work together and work through the obstacles (internal and external ) as they build a relationship.
Akansha says
I just really like the banter between Nevada and Mad Rogan. Also the world-building. And the family…
Stephanie says
I love the fact that the world is so realistic. Also love the family dynamics. So like mine it makes me laugh!
Shelia says
My favorite thing about the series is Nevada’s family. They make the story so much richer and let me more easily invest in her as a character.
Rachel says
I love Nevada’s family and the dialogue between them.
Lea Rose says
the banter definitely!
And the bit where Rogan got an odd expression on his face and called his security and told them to put pressure sensors in the laundry vents…. XD That whole ferret heist scene, it made me actually have to put the book down laughing…which I had to keep quiet as it was like 3am!
Jenny Hysaj says
I love Rogan’s character, he’s fun to watch and his dialogue cracks me up. However, my favorite thing about the the Hidden Legacy series is Nevada, her sisters, her grandma, and the relationships they share. I guess that’s more than one thing, but Nevada is a strong female, and I appreciate that so much. She’s kind, but she knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to say so. She’s not afraid to put Rogan in his place. Plus, she’s special. At first glance, she seems fairly average, but she’s truly not. It’s fun to watch her grow and change. Lastly, I love the relationship she has with her sisters and her grandma.
Diana Sanchez says
What i like most about the series is the family bond you can see between Nevada and her family. The way they interact & rely on each other & make decisions shows the love they have for each other. Also the humor through out the series makes it even a better read.
Angie Peeks says
My favorite thing is the wonderful dynamics between Rogan and Nevada. There are many interactions that make me laugh…..I really just love the entire story from beginning to end. I have read both stories many times and still love them each time.
Robert Redekop says
Generous and cruel at the same time! Having to pick a single aspect of the stories as my favorite? I loved the writing, the magic system, the characters, the moral compass that the baylor’s have. But I’m a sucker for any story with character growth and discovery – my favorite part was the gradual reveal that Nevada was a far stronger magic user than she ever suspected.
Deborah says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is that it got my non-reader fan (whose second language is English) to finish the second book in 2-3 days. And I’ve had a book loaned to her for the past 2 years which she’s only read a couple of chapters of during that time.
And why does the second book deserve so much praise? Because I had just finished reading it, and like an idiot, thought the title of the second book was the title of the first book…. so in fact, my friend read the second book first. (And there went my dreams of being my friend’s personal librarian.)
But the story was so good that not only did she love it (and then go back and read the first book) but know my friend got a kindle and is asking for all the book recommendations. Which is hard, because finding stories that have that magical something like any of the novels by you guys is hard.
Tanya says
Her Grandma… who doesn’t want a grandma who knows her way around a tank! Great story reveal about her sister’s talents, can’t wait to learn more.
Alexandra says
My favorite part would be the world-building. You guys are so good at creating immense worlds that all still fit together logically and make sense within the storyline. I also love the range of magical abilities in the Hidden Legacy world and how they evolve as the story progresses. I’m always amazed at the amount of forethought and planning that you guys put into your stories. It make them feel real and utterly captivating!
Janis Graham says
Glad we don’t have to pick just ONE thing! I love the interactions between the characters, especially Nevada and Rohan. I love the values they both have although in some areas they come from different worlds. And the different types of magic show amazing imagination, especially the “hopping”!
Jewls says
I love the relationship building in these books and how the details of whats happening come alive on the pages. The authorlords are true bards of our time.
Rachel says
My favorite part of the series is the magic. Everyone’s powers are so unique, and the way magic is integrated into society is both fascinating and terrifying lol.
Marjorie Consorte says
I have not read the series, but very much would like to read it.
Kathryn says
It’s hard to pick just one favorite thing- but one thing a bout your books that I really love is the banter. I love the banter between Nevada and Rogan. I love the intereactions between Nevada and the rest of her family- Her grandmother was especially charming/hilarious in this book. And your world building is fantastic/fascinating/wonderful- with it enhancing the plot it never distracting from the action.
Sheilagh Todd says
I haven’t read the Hidden Legacy yet, but I’m really looking forward to it.
Janeen Horne says
I love all of the characters, but Nevada and her family make the Hidden Legacy books wonderful!
(I love all the books written by “Gordon and Ilona”-I am working overtime this weekend so I can buy some more books for my collection!)
Roberta Rossely says
It’s a toss up between the relationship between Nevada and Rogan and learning about the way magic works in their world, you give us new information throughout each book which is fascinating. Of course there is also the fact that your books are so well written that I can keep rereading them until the next one comes out – White Hot is about to be read yet again:-)
Kelsey says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the loving relationship with Nevada and her family. I love how real the family dynamic feels, how families don’t always get along or agree or even like each other, but at the end of the day you love each other and have each other’s backs.
Eva R says
I love Nevada’s family so much. Individually, they’re great. When you put them all together, they’re even better… do you think they would adopt me?
Kathryn Young says
My favorite things are the little details that bring the family to life. Nevada’s desire for a window in her room. Bringing home the sushi. The family fight over bacon. Wiping the cats eyes. Cutouts from the bridal magazines posted on her office door. Grandma’s Instagram account. Each made me smile and say yep I know these folks. I believe in them.
As entry 1,248 my odds of winning are low so I guess I’ll be hitting refresh on my kindle at 12:01 am just to sneak in a chapter or two before work! Worth it!!
Claudina says
I love the banter between Nevada Baylor and Mad Rogan.
Suzanne Rothchild says
you deserve all the accolades and awards. Nevada & Rogan’s adventures have riveted me. The Burn For Me was my go to read anytime I needed a pick me up. I have read White Hot atleast once weekly since it came out. I am waiting anxiously for the next….. and I sincerely hope, not the last we will see of them and their friends & family.
PS I think I have figured out who Caesar is, and I won’t whisper his name, but does his last name begin with a D?
Hayley Flood says
My favourite part of the hidden legacy series is the strong family ties that Nevada has and how Rogan is becoming part of that family. Each family character is beautifully built and inherently as honest as Nevada is herself.
Katie says
There are a lot of characters and scenes to love, but I’m an animal person, I have to go with the ferret heist.
Marjorie Jolt says
When Nevada totally resisted his physic assault by strength and giving him a secret different than what he wanted. I knew she was going to be awesome- stong and smart!!!! I loved that scene.
Marjorie Holt says
Sorry, fat fingered that. It’s Marjorie HOLT
Alison says
I still think my favorite exchange is when Nevada buys Adam a T-shirt. It’s a great story and I’ve read them both multiple times.
Laura says
I love the way you portray the family dynamics. They are a real family. A lot of books I read it feels like the family is too perfect or just there to move the plot along. Y’all never do that.
Candice says
I love the analogy of the wealth gap as portrayed by Primes vs. non primes. It reminds me of what is really important in my life instead of what society often says I should be worried about.
Laura says
love this series! great character development and banter between nevada and mad rogan. great story line
Lisa says
My favorite part of Hidden Legacy is the world building. There are actual reasons for magic, and the stories show how magic changed the history we know. EX. Apparently the Russian tzars we never overthrown, which makes sense because the aristocracy would be the most obvious users of the Osiris serum.
Jill says
I love how the adult women in Nevada’s family are all such strong characters!
Lori koch says
I love the whole thing. I have been entranced since the first chapter. Nevada’s character is so much fun. I love her honesty and the inner dialogue with herself. Even got my husband into it with the audio book. Thanks for the great books!
Jillian says
I love how Nevada is such a strong character. The way the stories build and expand in both plot and character development is so engaging! I am consistently impressed with how the authors artfully bring us, the readers, on their adventures.
Emily says
In White Hot after the attack on Nevada’s home when Nevada uses her power to get the truth out of the remaining attacker and everyone recoils from Nevada, but Rogan is proud and understands.
Jana Leah says
I love the world that you’ve created.
Angel says
I absolutely love the humour and reality in all your stories.
This series in particular? I love how relatable Nevada and her family is.
Maxine says
I absolutely love the hidden legacy series. I appreciate a strong female character who can take care of herself but will accept help when needed. I like the magic angle and the fact that Nevada is studying to get better. Nevada also has a strong family to back her up. The hidden legacy series has the kind of dynamics I also loved in the kinsman books and the Edge series. Thank you for all of your great books and series.
Melissa B says
What a boon for the lucky winner! Thanks for offering it. What I love about this series is how committed Nevada is to her family and staying true to her moral compass. Plus, the way Nevada and Rogan have evolved as a couple is very believable and fun at the same time. Lastly well…I love it when in book two they keep telling Rogan he has to keep making the hole BIGGER for the two sisters to escape:)
Erica LeSaicherre says
I love the moments of humor that the books have. I love that Nevada is a strong female character. These are books that I can read over and over again.
Allie Bear says
I love how Nevada is so strong, keeps going despite the obstacles she has to overcome, and doesn’t hesitate about getting help if she needs it (this includes help from family).
Angelica Maria Serna Campuzano says
i have not read the book yet. But now I cant wait to do so
Katie Knudsen says
Picking out one favorite thing about the books is nearly impossible, but I think what I love most is Nevada’s integrity. She has definite ideas about what is important and what lines she won’t cross and she manages to maintain them in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Angelica Maria Serna Campuzano says
I have not read the book yet. But now I cant wait to do so
Erin Valentine says
I can’t decide. It’s either the way you (always) masterfully use your child characters, the romance, or the grandmother. I guess the multi-generational aspects win, but steamy romance is a close second.
Liesel says
I like the scene where Rogan has Nevada in the Acubens Exemplar. Love how he’s surprised when she is able to go toe to toe with him.?
La'Tasha says
I love them because they are hilarious!!!!!!! My favorite from y’all before were the Kate Daniels novels. But these had me cracking up even harder. My only disappointment is that when I discovered them (a month ago) there were only 2 out! Please keep them coming!!! Please.
Tina C. says
I love Rogan and Nevada’s relationship throughout the books. I love how much Nevada’s family means to her, and how strong she is because of them. I love the dialogue between all the characters.
Liz Petrash says
My favorite thing is that Nevada is a good person and will try to stay that way even though her world is changing and getting more complex. She stays grounded.
Katie Jones says
I love the humor in these books, the one liners kill me! “It was the splat”…
Margaret Efron says
I like how Rogan and Nevada are not introduced in Hidden Fire as your typical hero and heroine. Rogan is depicted as more of an anti-hero and Nevada isn’t a “Harry Potter” with crazy special skills.
Alisa Arthur says
I love the series… The tension and banter between Nevada and Rogan, the entire family and how realistic the interactions are between the members, and the MAGIC!
Brittany says
Nevada doesn’t compromise on her values-especially the rule about being able to live with herself at the end of the day. Love this series!
Monica says
I love the slow burn romance between Nevada and Rogan ♡♡ the conversation at the dinner table always has me cracking up, and the action scenes are so kick ass, it’s hard to say which is my favorite
Isabelle says
It’s the conclusion!!! *Sobs* I was really hoping this was the beginning of a long running series. I really enjoy the family relationships. Thank you so much for creating Nevada and her family.
Jeanne Goodman says
My favorite parts of Hidden Lagacy are Nevada’s relationship with her family, especially her siblings (I count the cousins in this group) and how she feeds her grandma’s social media addiction to Prime celebrities. …..also, the Hut of Evil. I want one.
Sam Dymond says
I love the slow unravelling of the powers that each family member has.
Sara says
I have only read the “Burn for Me” and that was when it was first published. I just got “White Hot” for my birthday earlier in the week. I would have to re-read the first one before I start on the second. Because it has been so long since I read it, I don’t really remember the finer points. I do know that I really enjoyed it though. Both are in mass market paperback.
Bryanna says
These books are so amazing!! Thank you for writing such wonderful stories.
S Sturgeon says
I love the complexity of each character. The light and shadow side of each personality is explored
Elizabeth Lopez says
I love that Nevada is a detective. She knows her strengths and when to call in the big guns.
Vickie says
I love Nevada’s snarky thoughts!
Celia Marsh says
It is definitely the humor that i love the most about these books. I’m a sucker for a sexy guy and a snarky quip.
Lena Ortega says
What I love most about Hidden Legacy are Nevada’s family’s interactions. I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite between her relatives, they’re all so hilarious and still so notably loving towards each other.
Sarah F. says
I love that I am willing to read it once and then immediately start re-reading it (and read it a third time later that week); I have a limited budget so I love buying books I know I will read multiple times. What I love most about the books is the realistic family dynamic and how they are always there for each other even when they are arguing.
Dana says
I love everything about this series. I just finished reading Burn for Me for the fourth time and White Hot for the second time, and I enjoyed them both as much as I did the first time I read them. I have found this to be true for all of your books though – they are just as satisfying when you read them multiple times.
Tracey says
I love it all. Nevada’s sense of right and wrong, Rogan’s immense power, the intense love of family and Nevada’s snarky thoughts – especially when she’s thinking of Rogan as a dragon. It’s another fantastic world that you’ve built.
Esyra says
Is everything count as a favorite thing? I can’t choose between the romance, the family ties or the magic system. Everything is just awesome!!!!
Love you guys and hope you’ll continue to write for a long time. I’ll read everything coming from you!!!
Merci pour tout ce que vous faites!!!!
Christine Lee says
I love everything about this series! I love the interactions between Nevada and Rogan! I can’t wait to read the next book! Thanks for giving me a chance to win the next book!
Valentina says
I love Nevada and rogan’s relationship – snarky comments and all. But what I love most is Nevada and her family- their dynamic. They are hilarious, loving, fierce, etc. It’s what makes the series I think – without that as a foundation there would be no story. I have read burn for me at minimum 3 times already. White hot twice. I cannot wait for Nevada and rogans conclusion but I hope you continue the series through her siblings. The hidden legacy world has more stories to tell.
Tatyana says
I love this series. The relationships between characters and the world it was created in. Thanks you so much for writing these books.
Nicky says
I love the interaction between Rogan and Nevada! Always twists to what you think is going to happen. I got White Hot right before memorial day weekend and I had Tree Town Festival to go to which is four days of concerts. In my little bag of stuff I put in White Hot, the security guys laughed at me bringing in a book, but I told them was my fav author and there would be time between sets to read. Little did I know that I would be parked by some other ladies who loved to read and would end up having them read over my shoulder. To funny and pretty cool to talk about these characters with others fans between the music. Don’t know which I loved better, the music or the book. Hmm maybe the book …………
Aviash says
I love the wit in the books , the way humor is Incorporated gives the story an authentic feel.
Also the shiv system is well thought out and explained.
Susan O'Connor says
I love how Nevada is a normal person who just happens to have mad magical power and is most likely the most powerful of anyone without even knowing it. Love how Rogan knows how powerful she is and isn’t threatened by her, he just sees the truly good person she is and wants to help her no matter the cost to him.
Brandie says
I love the Nevada’s interactions with her family, especially her grandma.
Pamk says
Love them because there is magic, strong heroines. And an amazing strength in the family unit
Tyler says
I love the romance and Nevada’s family.
Bens says
I loved the scene with all the carnations.
Lupe Lopez says
I love Nevada’s relationship with her family, her relationship with Mad Rogan and her sense of humor.
Red says
I think I’ve reread Burn for Me and White Hot almost once a month since their original release dates, there’s a siren that pulls me into the world over and over and always leaves me wishing for more. From Nevada’s can-do approach, protective instincts, and the journey she embarks on as she learns more about herself and the man she falls in love with, there’s a wonderful kinship I feel for her character.
Besides the character themselves in the series I find myself sinking into the world that you’ve built with the same ease as putting on my favorite old jacket. There’s a comfort to delving into the magic that is represented in the varying abilities each individual discovers and hones, I can respect the effort that it takes to learn about the craft of magic whilst also understanding that it manifests so uniquely in each individual. Not since I started the Harry Potter series as a child have I felt the wonderment in a new, but similar, magical world. The only series that you’ve written that might rival my love for Rogan’s Houston is the Innkeeper Series, but perhaps that’s due to my homebody nature with an adventurer’s heart.
Whether I win or not I appreciate all the efforts you both have made to provide your readers with multitudinous worlds that give us all a little respite from reality for a bit. Thank you for putting together a fun giveaway, looking forward to the “final” book in this series (but hopefully not in this world and not the last we’ll see of the characters!).
DeeAnn fuchs says
I love the slow burn and the snarky quips. Can’t wait for Wildfire!
Meg says
Such a great series. I love the twists of the plot, delightful and gut wrenching at every turn. I also love the hidden depths of Nevada’s powers.
Hannah says
I love this series because the family bond between the Baylors is rock solid and every relationship seems to have a life of its own. And because everyone needs a grandmother like Frida.
Jasmine says
I love Conner & Nevada’s relationship throughout the books. Their interactions can be really sweet, intense, romantic, extreme and sometimes downright funny.
Sena says
To tell the truth: I don’t exactly know.
I think its characterization. Good/bad/the gray ones all of them are interesting and I am obsessed with the ones I love
Kris says
Love Nevada’s mom and grandma and the relationships with all the family members.
Karen says
Um, duh this is an easy one. The best thing about The Hidden Legacy books is Rogan 🙂
Laura says
I love the family dynamics and the hilarious bickering between Nevada and her siblings. I also adore the fact that Nevada’s parents adopted her cousins.
Of course, Nevada is one bad**s strong woman! #rolemodel
Thank you so much for writing these books. They have definitely lifted me up during some tough times.
Ash says
I love the interactions between Nevada and Rogan. I also love the Baylor family dynamic and Nevada’s strength and independence.
Joanne oliver says
All the characters have such depth to them that you feel you know them intimately. All the adventures are journeys that you take with them. Just love them
Janice Little says
I loved the ferret ninja heist the most! So much that somehow I ended up adopting/saving 2 albino ferrets from our local animal shelter 🙂
Lupita M. says
I love Nevada’s attitude and way of approaching things. Her family is something I would also wish to have surrounding me one day.
David Kanevsky says
I like the bear, but my favorite thing is the warehouse!
Irishmadchen says
I love how all the characters are developed enough to be human with all the flaws we humans have. I adore poor Leon. Terrible mother, you tube video disaster, dreaming of magic (when he is probably a dual). The dinner table meet with Rogan was a picture perfect description of a 15 year old boy. Thank you for the laughs.
An says
I love the dialog, the relationships, and the actions. Had to laugh at the older sister snarks…
Tara says
I love this series! I love the idea of the magic houses, i love the family life of nevada and i love the writing style (but thats you guys i own all your work and love it all). I think the most satisfying part of these books for me is a) when Nevada rips into that child predator. Im married to a cop and we have little girls and as a mother and copwife that part of the book gave me immense satisfaction. And b) i appreciate how rogan has taken on military men and woman and gave them careers that gave them purpose. It just hit home for me.
So thanks guys!!! Love it all please dont stop lol!
k.hoang says
I love the chemistry between Rogan and Nevada and how the grandma is funny and into beefcake.
KelseyMx says
I love this series, love the world they’ve built and love all the characters, especially how they grow and change over time…
LK says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy? You mean besides the awesome blend of quirky characters, witty banter, exciting action, and tension-filled romance? The fact that all this is found in a creative, yet relatable, magical world run by the fascinating Houses.
Gayathri says
I love this series and the chemistry between Rohan and Nevada. I enjoy the world building and all the new kind of magics the authorlords come up with.. cannot wait to read Wildfire.
Talia says
I love Nevada’s family 😀 especially her grandmother.
Jasuchan says
I love the awesomeness of this series: the plot, the characters, the mayhem and chaos…. and angst! LOVE LOVE LOVE
cam says
I love the world building ,and the thought you guys out into interweaving magic into the everyday society of Nevadas’ world.
Rina says
I love the reliability of the characters in hidden legacy. I unfortunately don’t have any truth seeker abilities but I do love Nevada’s guts and determination and the love she has for her family. Also, ever since reading Narnia as a child I can’t help but love any book about magic!
Joshua Lonthair says
Hidden Legacy is filled with great dialogue. I love the way the characters interact with one another. It doesn’t feel staged or strained, instead the words flow. Plus who doesn’t enjoy a little strong brooding male syndrome.
Jill CD says
Love this series, can’t wait for release day
Tammy Harris says
I’ve listened to the first book and am about to listen to the 2nd one. They are Intriguing characters that I’m rooting for. I like their magical gifts. Nevada is terrific. Rogan needs to figure things out. . . Nevada’s Grandma is my Favorite!!! I really love this series, as I also have loved The Edge (I Still Want MORE. . . .) and of course Kate Daniels and crew!!! Thanks for sharing your heart talents and Imaginations with us!!!
Freya standing says
I love most things about ilona andrews duo but the thing I love most about the hidden legacy books is the way they create different, diverse characters and how they’re able to portray them as the humans they are, nothing is ever black and white.
Christa says
I like the way the Baylor’s actually act like a family
Teresa Ruch says
grandma!
@mdy says
I really like the nature of their relationship. Specifically:
* I like the way Connor counts on Nevada to handle things; the way he relies on her as an equal partner with her own strengths. The way he drew Vincent straight to her in the cistern is one example. Another example was when Nevada handled the interrogation of the mercenary (Mr. Mulaudzi) instead of Rogan or his people.
* I like the way he recognizes and appreciates what she is. For example, he tells her she’s “amazing” right at the moment when everyone else is recoiling from her in horror when they realize her power and see her as “the monster on the street.” He knows full well what she’s capable of, even more than she does. And he actually loves the very things that people fear about her.
* I like the way she makes him happy and gives him purpose. “He felt like an addict who, after abusing a narcotic for years, somehow found himself sober, wandered through his house, opened the front door, and saw a beautiful spring day.”
As to the world-building, I like the notion that the pursuit of magic has obliterated issues about race or nationality. For example, when Connor’s “father had to go all the way to Europe to find the right combination of genes,” he was looking for the right magic, not the right race. Granted, the dogged pursuit of magic for the sake of power isn’t all that fantastic, but it is consistent with human nature, and part of what makes that world believable.
Shamein Rai says
I love Nevada’s family, especially Leon!!
Colleen says
The chemistry between Nevada and Rogan are my favorite, but my favorite character is the bad ass grandma!!
Eleanor O'Reilly says
Love the series I hope Wildfire will not be the last Nevada Taylor book. The family dynamic is great and I love the fact that Mad Rogan thinks he is in charge when in fact Nevada is the boss of him.
Elena Kleanthous says
Hidden Legacy… Hmmm, let’s see…. I love the chemistry all the characters have with one another. And most of all I love the fact that Family is above all. Love the series ????
Alex says
Fav thing about hidden legacy… you keep me guessing about the sisters powers! Love how they’re all powerhouses, not just Nevada
Miriam says
Five stars! Yes! Congratulations!
Favorite thing – singular? Can’t seem to do just one.
I can almost boil it down to: The heart and the humor of the series, only it is also the whole delightful adventure that flows from that.
The interaction between Nevada and Rogan – frustration, anger, attraction, humor, growing respect, the struggle for balance, the growing knowledge of each other and thus the growing of the relationship.
The Baylor family unit, the interrelations, the conflicts, the support, the love, the humor, the strong moral compass that is part of the family’s foundation, the fact that Rogan is pulled/welcomed into the family – because he needs family. The fact that Cornelius and Matilda are welcomed into the family when they need family.
It is a world alien to us, yet the characters and situations ring true (just like in all of the Ilona Andrews books).
Teresa Cooch says
My favorite part of the hidden legacy is Nevada’s personal world – her family, her past and the business. You guys did a great job creating 3D characters that act and react as a real family would.
Nicoletta says
5 star!! Wow!! Congratulations!!!
I love all your book, but waiting to read the the second and third of this series was almost torture!! ?
I can’t wait to read this, I love nevada and mad, there so much chemistry there and they are soo funny together!! And of course, how can you no love Nevada’s family, they are so eccentric and loveable!
Please, perfavore, don’t stop writing now! Amo I vostri libri!!!!
Melissa says
I love the way the whole thing comes together. The interesting world of the Houses, Nevada’s family and their interactions , the plot that keeps you reading even when you should be going to bed because you have work the next day!
Moritz says
My favourite thing is Navadas family, the interaction between them and how they support each other.
Angelika Hoermann says
What I love about the Hidden Legacy books is Ilona Andrews writing and storytelling, it is amazing. I love the characters, the interactions and the progress these books show.
Laura says
Hi !
I love your books, but what I really like in this series is the connexions that the characters have between each others. Be it family, love, friendship… every time they interact I laugh, I panic, I’m really hyped…I just feel really invested in the story.
The universe you creat are so unique that it could feel unreal but it feels so real. I know that I wouldn’t want to be a part of a world were your magic decides your social status but I wouldn’t mind living in it if I would be with the characters you created.
Laura says
I’m these books I love that Rogan has fallen in love with Nevada’s strength and courage. She’s not a damsel in distress to be rescued but a partner to be respected. When there’s a crisis, they both literally have each others’ backs- often instinctively. Those parts are actually the ones I reread a lot. (Ok I also reread the entire books frequently, but you understand)
Stephanie says
Hmmmm so many things to choose from. I love these books. Probably Nevada’s family. Especially Grandma.
M Miller says
I love the world building! I think the magic combining with the houses and the modern day geography is very original. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Polina says
I love Nevada! She is a strong female lead that makes her own rules. In a world of magic where power is the key to social mobility she keeps her powers secret. She follows her own rules and has the strength to do what she considers right despite the risks and odds. I love this series and I can’t wait for the next book.
Sarah says
I love Hidden Legacy. I have re-read (or re-listened to) the first two books well over a dozen times each. It’s hard to pinpoint my favorite thing about them, but I love the relationships and development of them (slow burn between Rogan & Nevada, family relationships, friendships, etc). It’s all a wonderful journey. I am counting down until Wildfire is here. Thanks!
Michelle says
I just finished reading all the available Kate Daniels books, reading the first one at the recommendation of a friend, and then purchasing each subsequent book from Amazon immediately upon my completion of each book! I inhaled them and couldn’t get enough! Because I am most attracted to a writer’s style, I am loyal to authors rather than genres, and now having finished all the current Kate Daniels books, I am now eagerly anticipating starting in on something new (to me) from Ilona Andrews (although please keep Kate’s story coming!). I visited this website to see what might be available and stumbled here! So I am now about to explore the Hidden Legacy trilogy, and have high hopes and no hesitation!
Lauren Mc says
I love the world building and all the different magical abilities. Also, Nevada’s family is a riot!
Kenna says
I love the world they live in. And how adept they are at surviving. Nevada’s family are amazing, they’re all so funny and realistic. The whole series is a beautiful story.
Jen D says
The world building is one of my favorite aspects of your Hidden Legacy series. It’s so engaging and well planned! I am completely immersed while reading. Your humor, too, is absolutely perfect– in the past, I’ve had to set down the books just to laugh. I’m so excited about Wildfire!
Bobbie Frye says
I absolutely love the world building the way it’s put together is as if you’re stepping into another universe and peeking in at another person’s life the setting is so expansive and has so much to learn about
Padmini says
I loved Nevada and her family, especially granny. It was great to read about the family and how Nevada keeps it together and takes responsibility. Her fearlessness when facing Rogan for the first time and then working with him were great.
Virginie Bastida says
I love this serie. I love that Nevada can compete with Rogan. She’s smart. The world you create is always wonderful.
Amy says
I love your books because they make me dream, laugh and feel good about the world. It’s like a book high. The feeling of supercoolness. Your book inspire me to reach for great heights as your heroines. Both Nevada and Kate.
The funny conversations, I have laughed like a lunatic. You have made me rethink about my previous favourite heroines with your independent heroines.
Your hidden legacy series is addictive. It’s everything action, romance, twists, turns intrigue.
Meg says
Honestly, I love everything. EVERYTHING. And that never happens with books for me. But if I had to choose (and I do, because I want this book so bad I’m shaking like a heroin addict :D), I’d have to go with… well, probably the first thing that clicked with me in Burn for Me. And that was how logical and reasonable Nevada was. Now, maybe that sounds a bit boring and don’t get me wrong, I love love love Rogan and all of the other characters and the plot and the humour and EVERYTHING and I could talk and talk about how awesome everything is, but this was the first instance when I knew that these books would slay me. Nevada reasoned every plan out in a way that I just… got. And I was actually really interested in all of the options she considered. It sounds kind of weird, but I was so tired of heroines acting irrationally and making illogical decisions over and over again that Nevada was like a breath of fresh air. Seriously, as I was reading how she planned to get out of the tricky situation she found herself in, I felt like my eyes rounded, I grew giddy and started falling in love with her awesomeness. I even cried a little. I’ll never forget that feeling of discovering one of the most enjoyable series’ in my life.
And then her family… It really absolutely is better when there is a family. Even if it is a little bit dysfunctional — that’s honestly the best part.
Anyway, can’t wait for Wildfire. I know it will absolutely destroy me, but at least it’ll hurt oh so good! 😉
Jackie says
The best thing about Hidden Legacy, and Ilona Andrews novel’s in general, is that the female characters are amazing. Every character has a unique voice and history. It is difficult to find such female characters who are fully fleshed out, that have intelligence and passion, in any other form of media. I can’t see a movie where the heroine owns her own business, has supernatural powers, and takes care of her family. There are no television shows that depict female characters with strength that comes from within, as opposed to being a victim and surviving. Why do we have to see female characters get the crap beat out if them, far more than their male counterparts, before we believe that they can be just as tough or deadly? Having a vagina and boobs does not inherently make someone a victim. Nor do all men instinctively believe that a woman’s place is in the kitchen. Smart, intelligent, strong, female characters are hard to come by. Thank you for writing these stories with female characters, not female archetypes.
Elisabeth says
I like your way of writing in general, but I really enjoy the teasing between Rogan and Nevada. I like the fact that they don’t (and can’t) lie to each other.
Greetings from Germany 🙂
Marla says
Well, I love the series, so there’s a lot I like about the books, but one of my favorite aspects is Nevada’s love for and sense of responsibility towards her family (come to think of it, the importance of family connections is present in just about every Ilona Andrews story that I’ve read).
Carolyn C says
I love how Nevada will risk everything to do the right thing.
AnaS says
My favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is Rogan, closely followed by Nevada and the magic system. I just adored the idea of family gifts and systems set up for them.
Frontline327 says
I love watching Nevada grow into her powers and navigating house politics. In Wildfire, I am most looking forward to the creation of House Baylor. Magic informs all aspects of relationships including love, procreation, and friendships. I want to see how that will affect not only Nevada but everyone in the Baylor household. I think the Baylor “coming out” might be hardest on the teen Baylors. Up to now, they’ve led normal lives and attended a public school. How will the House status impact them? Who wants to befriend them or date them? And why? I hope that is touched on at some point, if not in Wildfire then maybe a novella? Anyway, July 25th cannot come soon enough. So excited!!!!!
Helen Cleary says
I love these books! My favourite episode is when Leon gives a voice over commentary to the video of the attack on Nevada’s house- really made me laugh out loud. He’s a great character and I hope he has at least his own short story somewhere down the line in the future…
ZZ says
I love the world-building! It’s so fascinating to read, and it’s clear that a lot of effort and thought has been put into it.
MaryElizabeth says
I love everything about the world of hidden legacy. I really enjoy the interactions between Nevada’s family, seeing the growth and heat in the relationship between Nevada and Rogan. The characters are soo interesting and believable that the books just suck you in and you become so immersed that you feel like you are a part of the story. You leave wishing that you had Nevada’s Quirky grandma who demands photo’s or it didn’t happen lol
it’s a great read and you walk away loving the characters an appreciating the people in your life who stand by you a little more.
Ivy montgomery says
My favorite part about hidden legacy is grandma Frieda, she helps keep the family together and she’s hilarious.
Mindy says
My favorite part of Hidden Legacy is how realistic all the magic seems. It’s not over the top even when it is over the top. There’s limitations and rules and it grounds the book in a reality that I can relate to. Plus I like the sense of family.
Brianna says
I love the witty banter you get from the characters.
kat says
I love the character of Bug and want to read more of him.
Liv says
I always enjoy world building and this is thoughtful and detailed.
I like that Nevada is confrontative and brave and is in charge of her own life.
I like that Rogan doesn’t try to wrest that away from her.
Isil says
I love how all the women in the Baylor family – starting with Nevada – are such strong women. There’s an incredible depth to them that seems centered in their high moral and ethical standards. And I think that (helps) lead to some awesome witty banter. The Nevada women wil never turn into “yes machines” just because of a hot guy……
Mila Nowak says
What I really like about the series is:
1) The twisted alternative history – a world which is almost the same, but there are hints about different outcomes of some events.
2) Your sense of humour and strong female characters. Believe me or not, but I have a grandma really similar to Frida.
3) Your crazy ideas about multi-faceted magic system in the modern, corporate world
Pri says
I think the core of Hidden Legacy is about family and magic, which in turn are my favorite things about Hidden Legacy! The magic always makes my imagination ignite and the family keeps me connected because I can see the relationship I have with my sister reflected within Nevada’s relationships with her siblings. This series is a wonderful read and encompasses all the things I love in a great story!
Niki Hawkes says
I haven’t read it yet, but I can’t wait to!! 😀
Rosa Rodriguez says
Haven’t read it yet but am a huge fan of ilona Andrews.
Kat W says
I love this series! It’s similar to our world, but with an interesting twist of magic! And she never ceases to come up with new hidden powers and abilities for each of the characters.
I really hope this series gets more than 3 books! I don’t want to stop reading!
Patricia Chandler says
Grandma is my favorite character…feisty and a skilled female in a non-traditional role.
Becky Wagner says
I love grandma and her mechanic shop!
Shnekiyea Phillips says
I havr not rrad any of these books but would love to! I love the Kate Daniels series and I know I will love these!!!
Shelley says
I love the world-building and the irreverence of the characters.
Brianna says
It is super hard to just pick one thing! There are a lot of great things that carry over all the books Ilona Andrews writes. I think that the quality and consistency of characterization, the tone, and the world building in every book is amazing. Specific to Hidden Leagecy, I would have to say that one of my favorite things is how everything is very real world. They developed this serum that changed everything, but so much is the same. I like that connection from their world to our world. I know that this is a similar concept to other books, but the magic is not hidden away like in the Edge or Inkeeper series and it is not destructive and extreme like Kate Daniels. Hidden Leagacy is very Our World + Magic. It is just so seamless and I love it.
Karen Williams says
I love how very real all of the characters feel. Nevada loves her family, and we can see why, as we come to love them, too. I like that while Nevada doesn’t always make the choices I might, that she has good reasons for the choices she makes. It’s been fascinating watching her evolve as she’s sucked deeper into Rogan’s world.
Ayana says
Favourite thing about Hidden Legacy? Just one?
Ok, probably the differences between Kate and Nevada’s characters. At first glance they aren’t similar – Kate is dark and borderline sociopathic while Nevada is light and so family-oriented.
And yet they both have people they want to keep safe and would be willing to do anything to achieve that. They would both kill to protect their loved ones (and have done so) and would happily cross any line to keep them safe. I feel like they’d be good friends 🙂
Also, I love how the worlds, characters and entire dynamic is different and yet, your writing still elicits the same feelings. I imagine it always will. Sorry if this was long. Thank you for everything you do.
liz says
Nevada’s inner voice is the best part. She’s got a brain, common sense, loyalty, and kindness. This all shows through in her thoughts. The rest is just icing on the cake, even if it’s super amazing icing. A lot of other books leave me feeling cold because the heroine’s inner voice was idiotic or unrealistic. Nevada is very relatable and her motivations and thoughts are what allows the reader to bond with her through the books. Thanks for entering me in the giveaway.
Smileygirl3090 says
Nevada’s interactions with her family and her sense of family loyalty really work for me and help to explain her motivation and code of honour. Mad Rogan is crazy hot but a lot of romance novels feature a crazy hot alpha male. I also love the character development, I get why Nevada said no to Rogan at the end of Burn for Me and why she said yes at the end of White Hot because we learnt so much more about him. It’s like Kate and Curran, when did I fall in love? Here kitty kitty, when he broke in and she kicked him in the head… the story arc means the romance has time to develop and it gains more depth through that.
L says
How totally kick-ass Nevada is.
Caroline Collins says
The main character Nevada has common sense. Thank goodness. It drives me crazy when book characters do dumb things repetitively, without either an emotional reason or a logic one…even if it is flawed. That said, it is your creativity, details, and warmth in each book that keeps me on pins and needles for the next. Thank you for making the career changes that led you both to become writers.
maya says
I love how rounded the characters are. With flaws and strengths, they come to life in a uniquely engaging way. We root for the good guys and hope for the bad guys to lose, but at the same time, every character is strong on his or her own. This is especially important because one of the best parts of the book is the interactions between characters, which is strong because of the strength of the characters. Nevada and her family. Rogan and Nevada. Rogan and his task force. Nevada and Augustine. Cornelius and his animals. They are just so believable and complex that no matter how mystical this world seems, it can be stripped down to what it is to navigate being human, which makes the magical world seem so REAL.
Beth M. says
I love the relationships in Nevada’s family. I like that it took a while for us to learn about all the familial talents. I like Nevada’s snarkiness and I like her interaction with Rogan. Can’t wait for the next book!
Jessica Bonds says
I love the variety of magical abilities.
Emily says
I enjoy the witty banter in the book and love Grandma’s garage!
Janaki says
I love the humor (particularly in the conversations between the Baylor family members) and the smart-ass comments 🙂 Some examples (stressing on SOME) :
1. The scene where Nevada deflects the attention from herself by saying “Grandma, why don’t you knit?”
2. Nevada’s reaction after Rogan “identified” himself. ““For my grandmother.” I put the phone on the table and smiled at the waiter. “He broke his chopstick. Could you get us another set?””
But more than the above, I love the bonds and interactions in the Baylor family:
The drama queens arguments followed by Nevada’s narration: “Figured. They never fought about anything important. They never stole from each other, they never tried to sabotage each other’s relationships, and if anyone dared to look at one of them the wrong way, the other one would be the first to charge to her sister’s defense. But if one of them took the other’s hairbrush and didn’t clean it, it was World War III.”
Both the books I have read are choc full of such scenes and make them 2 of the most enjoyable I have read. Eagerly waiting for the next!
Esther says
Like with must of your book you take us to different places, you make us cry and love this character I been reading your book after reading a little piece of Kate Daniels in jeanienne frost page and it for ever change me.
I actually haven’t read much lately and the Tuesday of this week I see one post and haven’t stop reading that what a love about this triology i know that is going to make, cry, love, hate and not sleep until I finish it ( I haven’t seek for like 3 days now reading) the character are amazing and Nevada is a super fun character that is making the best with the little that she has I like that she knows right or wrong but she also knows that there is a bit of grey area that it maybe conflicted with what she believe is right but she also knows that must be done. I love that she doesn’t let MAD ROGAN just been himself, she make him bring the best of him.
Can wait for the next book I need more
Heather Y. says
My favorite thing would be the humor.
Renee says
I love the very realistic family dynamics of this series. They aren’t a standard family setup, but they still interact in ways that show their strong bonds. I also love that not once does Nevada resent her family even though she is the main financial support for everyone. Instead she loves them, jokes with them, and would do anything to protect them.
M Lancer says
Dialog between all characters in this series is believable. (as in Kate Daniels series) The nuances are wonderfully done and not lonely build characters, but make the Hidden Legacy series a must read.
Muriel says
I love that ‘HiddenLegacy’ world takes me away from my every day life. It is a brilliant read, it stays with me for a while. I wish it were made a TV serie.
Katerina says
Woooo give away!
What is there not to love about Hidden Legacy? It’s hard to choose just one thing, but for me it is the family. Nevada’s family is wonderfully normal and not normal at the same time. I cant wait for Rogan to join it forever!
September G. says
The imagery that is evoked whenever I open any book always brings a smile to my face. Whether I’m laughing, sad, or crazy your books keep me coming back for more and are now a staple in my home. Hidden legacy has a mysterious depth to it that gives you just enough to keep you on the hook for more.
Doniki says
I love how real and relatable the characters are. How the have struggles. How they strive to be true to themselves despite the world trying to make them into something else. I love how the heroine can be both vulnerable and strong. How she is kickass, smartass, but still caring.
ekekella says
I love Nevada’s character. She tries so hard to take care of her family and those that she believes are in need of protection. Her family is so fun too! I can’t wait to find out more about their hidden powers!
Ginny Quesada says
I love how Rogan and Nevada’s relationship is developing. He was overpowering her, but now with her true power coming to light, they need to learn how to treat each other as equals. Interesting to discover.
Andrea A says
I love how strong the women characters are, that Nevada doesn’t just fall into bed with Rogan, that she says “No” to him and calls him on his cr*p, and doesn’t expect him to rescue her. I love how the characters make mistakes, apologize, grow, develop, and mature. I love watching how the challenging relationship between Rogan and Nevada grows, how they learn to talk to each other and read each other, and how they mature as a couple. I love how deep down both Rogan and Nevada try to do the right thing, even when its harder and more dangerous. And I love the humor. I just burst out laughing. And I love the spectacular scene writing that is so vivid that I can easily see this becoming a big screen movie (fingers crossed). Thank you so much for bringing these stories to us!!!
Dylan G says
I really enjoy both the humor and the character development that Ilona and Gordon always seem to bring to their work!
Charites says
I love Grandma. Her obsession with postings and pictures are hilarious! Connor continuing his fracture of the concrete barriers so Nevada can get a picture for Grandma is one of the funniest things ever.
Kelly Handrick says
I love the whole family, all of their interactions. The way y’all tell the story, I can see everyone’s facial expressions, and almost hear what they’re thinking as the story unfolds. And, I love how I feel like these are real people, that I know and care about. This is something that not all authors can truly achieve, but when it happens, well, that is magic! I love it when they get a picture for Grandma! And, how none of them (in Nevada’s family) are really afraid of Rogan, which is something that he didn’t even know how much he needed. I am so excited for this book to come out, but I’m afraid also, because I don’t want this story to end. I feel like I’ll be losing my friends.
Terrie says
The world building and the banter between characters.
Ramona Hall says
The best, the very best edge of my seat favorite in White Hot was the battle that took place in the attack on the warehouse. But, equally good, was the battle of wills between Mad Rogan and Nevada in Chap. 5 of Burn For Me. Seriously, tho’, I just flat out love this series. Going to be sad when it ends.
Nifty says
Favorite part is Nevada’s character: deep personal and professional integrity; courage and capability; self-awareness. She’s just good people, and I enjoy spending time with her.
Sofija Kapranova says
I like Hidden Legasy because of family relationships. Nevada’s family is great! They are all very interesting people and you can write a book about everyone of them.
Bin says
I love the fact that nevada sees things acutely, feels things wholeheartdly (even pain and fear), protects her loved ones visciously. That she will ill do the right thing at the expense of herself to an extent, but never to the detriment of her loved ones. That she can see past peoples outward projections to their inner beauties, without using her abilities. That she has grown and continues to grow as an individual and a partner (in business and in love, or even as a sister). Honestly I love strong women but I love the character growth of a strong woman finding love more. The struggles and the lessons Nevada learns and strenghtens from is amazing. It gives me personal strength and courage to face my oan demons. Usually books are an escape from reality for me… but I am forever grateful that they also inspire me to do better. As im in Australia not sure if this was in on time. But it doesnt matter… as long as tne authorlords read it and know I am forever grateful for their efforts!
Felicia says
I enjoy the series because it’s about family: the good, the bad, and the ugly but mostly on the importance of just being there for your loved ones.
I look forward to seeing and meeting you and Gordon in Los Angeles at the Bodice Ripper. I’ll be on vacation when you announce the winner and where we go, high in the Sierra, there’s no reception so I won’t be able to congratulate anyone until I return where’s there’s Wi-Fi. 😛
Ally says
Honestly, I love this series and my favourite thing is Nevada and Connor…..the development of their relationship from what seemed a shallow connection into the only connection that counts.
I adore their interactions and the unending talent it takes to create real kick-ass women! Nevada, Kate, Dina, Rose….the list continues and it is awesome.
The world building has to be the next best thing…..combining to mean that at midnight on the 24th I will be hitting refresh on amazon and I know I won’t be the only one!
Colleen Thorsen says
I like the character development. It has been lovely to see Nevada grow in her knowledge of her talent, and Rogan become more dimensional.
Katelynn says
My favorite part is the balance between the characters. Even more than Kate and Curran! Its an amazing relationship and I can’t wait to see how it progresses in Wildfire!
Shannon Gordon says
My favorite thing is that this new world of magic has been well thought out and not haphazardly put together.
Mike says
Its a fun story with good world building
Pam S says
I love the strong female lead that doesn’t give in to the pressures that seem to constantly confront her. I also like that the romance built over several books rather than right out of the gate.
Mary Cecilia says
What I love about the Hidden Legacy series is how grounded it feels in reality. Yes that sounds weird because it’s an urban fantasy but the struggles of Nevada, Connor, and the rest of the characters are very much relatable and very easy to empathize with. The writing style allows you to live these characters’ lives and feel their highs and their lows along with them. You learn with them, you laugh with them, you cry with them. Most importantly you feel for them and care about them. Whether it’s as small as Grandma Frida’s teasing or as bug as Nevada and Connor’s first time together, each moment of the book is held equal to one another in its clever and distinct writing style. Wow. Didn’t mean to write that much or get too deep. But we all know that’s what the Andrews’ do to you! ??
MA Ward says
I love that Nevada is so strong willed & so willing to take care of her family first! Too many wimps are in the romance genre & I love that you continue to have such KICK A$$ female leads in whatever book you are writing!
LC says
I like the setting and the world building of the Hidden Legacy series. Nevada is also a great character and she’s not a pushover.
Cheryl Welham says
The thing I enjoy most about Hidden Legacy so far is the strong family ties for the Baylor family. I like the rules for the Baylor Agency too!
Makaela says
I just finished reading White Hot last night. It was perfect, as I usually find your books! I love everything about this series. The magic family system, the politics, the magic itself, and of course the characters. I really hope you do spin-offs of this series. Nevada’s sisters would be great, or even Cornelius’ daughter or a relation. The ferrets and ferret-badger chapter was amazing. As good as watching cat videos online. Thanks for the chance to get a physical copy of the next book! <3
Other Barbara says
My favorite things..come on, just one? NEvada’s depth, Grandma’s attitude, Cornelious’s magic and his having my great grandfather from Ireland’s name and
Rogan.
anita martin says
I can read the books once quickly for the action and the second time ( and third) slowly to savor all that I missed.
And there will always be something more to discover and enjoy.
Tamara Fisher says
Love that Nevada starts off with very human flaws- she is not living to her highest potential and has been self deceiving – but once she realizes that flaw, she sets out to correct it and improve herself as much as she can.
Donna Austin says
Nevada seems a real person. Family first, hard worker, puts others before her self. This is an good example of a true good woman. We also see this in her mother and grandmother. So many women today have failed in these traits and are the lesser for it.
You have made her a very good example of a women to look up to.
You see the men in her life following along in the same way; Bernard, Leon, and even Mad Rogan. Very caring and men with honor.
Well done!
Ariel Vaughn says
I could go on forever about the reasons I adore Hidden Legacy, but I obviously don’t have the space, and they would all fall under these two primary reasons: the originality of the story and the sincerity of all of the characters.
And let’s not forget that y’all Authorlords rarely put anything in the books that is overly gratuitous. Everything happens for a reason, which results in a smooth story that unfolds organically.
*If this comment has been submitted twice, I apologize 🙂
deborah thompson says
I really, really love Nevada and Mad Rogan. I can’t wait to see how the relationship evolves.
Cori says
I really love the main characters. I’m left wanting more.
Laura says
My favorite thing is how important family is to the character, specifically Nevada, and that no matter how much power anyone in the family may have, that their love of family makes them all stronger and more stable than any House ever could be. Also at this point I’m honestly dying to know what Arabella does. Like what the heck is in the Baylor DNA?
StephMom says
First, I love the world you guys have built. The society of magic users, the rules and expectations that go along with that. Also how Nevada takes each problem that comes her way and subdues it into submission without mercy 🙂 Lastly, I like how the romance in your books take time to build and the characters experience setbacks. It’s more real and gives you more insight into the foundation of the relationship, rather than two people just falling into each other’s arms immediately and magically finding happily ever after (post mass amounts of copulation of course :p).
Colleen Whitley says
I enjoy the slow build of romance and the occasional sarcastic comment/internal snarkiness.
StoryReaderKJB says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy are the interactions between Nevada and her family: the diverse mix of powers are so much fun and I love their interpersonal relations. I’m also in love with their house!
Tara says
That it offers an escape from the stresses in my world.
Sonzaemon says
The humour is awesome! I wouldn’t be able to read the series without it… and frankly, I don’t think the series would exist without it. And then where would we all be? Much worse off!
Amy says
I really like Nevada’s interactions with her family, and how they work together to support each other.
Danielle Goodman says
I loved the reveal about the Pied Piper of Hamlin.
Laura Allen says
I love the characterizations of the Baylor family and how tight-knit they are. They are so unique and fleshed out. I really enjoy Grandma in particular. Those tanks of hers.
Yvette says
I love the dynamics between Nevada and Connor. Seeing Nevada change her view of Connor, then seeing more of what makes Connor tick, just adds depth. Thanks for the great story so far.
Aligator says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy were the changes between Nevada and Rogan. I love the tension!! And I’m glad they finally got together, but I’m very curious to see where they go from here. I can’t wait for the next book 🙂
Julie Dup says
I like the interaction between the sisters.
Allie L says
I love the characters! Nevada and her family, Bug, Cornelius, Augustine…. and of course, Mad Rogan. I want to know what happens to every single one of them!
Di says
I really adore the different types of magic in the world! I think being an illusion mage like Augustine would be so cool.
Judit says
My favourite thing is Nevada’s family! Love the family dynamics and love.
Johannah says
I love sexy action novels, but what I like most is that this book makes me laugh. I love the ferret heist and the teasing sisters! I love how Rogan seems to be slowly reminded what it is to be human and in a loving family.
Julie Buckner says
Hidden Legacy is like a home away from home- or close to home since I live in Houston. The characters are have a depth that make me feel like I know them personally. Nevada’s inner voice is hilarious and her actions brave and inspirational. My favorite is Mad Rogan. I love his hard outer edges of the alpha male combined with the pursuit of Nevada showing his emotional side twisting up in knots over her! I can’t get enough of their interaction. Finally a man who more of a man then Nevada .. Mad Rogan.
Cindy says
I love Nevada’s sassy snarkiness with Rogan and her strong sense of responsibiiity/duty
Josephine Martin says
I love the storyline it’s so complex and interesting.
J. Williams says
I really like that I feel so connected to the creation of this world, that I can see where elements came from as a long time reader.
Liessa S says
I have been hooked to this romance since early this year and find myself thinking about Mad Rogan, Nevada and what’s going to happen with her family. Her mom and grandmother crack me up too.
Phyllis says
Here are 2 things I love about the Hidden Legacy series: (1) Nevada is (no doubt intentionally) very different than Kate, yet still principled, funny, and kickass. I will confess that I find Rogan and Curran to be rather similar, lions and hurricanes aside. I think it must be hard for an author to take a totally different path with some one as key as a lead character and still keep the faith with readers. (2) I love the side characters. This is true for the magic series as well, but here I really like Grandma and Bug and even Pancakes. I can’t wait for Wildfire but I am getting hints from reviewers and even the Authorlords that something happens in the epilogue that will leave some sort of thread hanging and make us want to tear out our hair. Hmmm, anticipation and wariness at the same time.
Jane says
I love how tightknit Nevada’s family is – their love for each other is so strong and so real. It’s really easy to empathize with each character and it’s great seeing them progress. Nevada is inspirational – she’s not a damsel in need of rescuing and the slow simmer in her relationship with Mad Rogan is fantastic. I haven’t purchased a physical book in years, but I’m planning on buying all three when the last comes out.
Sally H says
I love that each member of Nevada’s family is celebrated by the other members. Would that all families support each other so enthusiastically.
Sarah M says
I love your characters! From Nevada and Rogan to Nevada’s family and Cornelius, they are just so fun. They are easy to get invested in and it makes me excited to see more of them soon!!
Judy K says
What I love about Hidden Legacy is that the heart of the story is so relatable. The way Nevada and Mad Rogan are together is so believable…just love the story line!!
AHC says
What I love about Hidden Legacy and this series as a whole is that it embodies the best qualities of Ilona Andrews writing: slow burn romance, action, humor, depth of characters, amazing world building, and just plain fun. What I love best with these books in particular is the family dynamic. I love the individual quirks. I love the surprise powers that pop up late in the game. I love how the family and business grows and how those new editions are just as crazy/witty/powerful/fun as everyone else in the family. I love the fierce loyalty of everyone involved and how nearly everyone has a dominant personality, yet manage to use their individual strengths to successfully work as a team. Oh, and I love grandma most of all. Go, Grandma!
Robyn Y. says
There are so many things to like about the hidden legacy series. I like the balance of mystery, action, fantasy, romance, humor, and every day life. Also I like the character development and unfolding background of the world of supernaturals.
Aja says
I love Nevada’s family. Their love and loyalty for each other fills me with an emotion I can’t quite put a name to. I also love the world building and learning about the different types of magic and the ways they manifest in different people. I can’t wait to discover Arabella’s magic!
Stephanie says
I like that Nevada’s character evolves as the books go on. She adapts to her life as the situation demands and reflects on the changes. She is uncompromising in her values but still flexible in her outlook on the world. I also like that she can fail. Its hard to relate to someone who is always perfect.
I also love that I’m reading a romance novel that has a plot with a strong female character. All too often I’ve seen books claim a strong female character who end up caving to the male protagonist or playing a meek second. Nevada can go toe to toe with Rogan and he respects her more for it! She doesn’t sit on the sidelines waiting for him to play hero.
Jessica Brown says
I love the close knit crazy family. The dynamics between everyone reminds me of my family
Claire says
I have not yet read the Hidden Legacy books.
I am impatiently waiting the release of Wildfire to begin the serie.
Thank you for the give away and good luck to us all.
Beth says
My favorite part of the Hidden Legacy series is that Nevada and Rogan talk through their problems instead of constantly having miscommunications and all of their problems resulting from that. (It’s actually a favorite part of a lot of your books! :D) Thank you for the giveaway! I can’t wait for the book to come out!
Janet says
I love the relationships, between Nevada and her family, Nevada and Rogan, how they continue to grow and mature.
Judy says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy series (and all the other series as well) is the intrinsic integrity built into the characters. Yes, life is tough and often times unfair, but the characters show us that as having a personal code of honor and sticking to it can be worth it in the end.
Plus you know, awesome world building and strong, female characters that speak to the bad-ass we all want to be.
Mairene says
I love Nevada’s family and watching this world unfold.
Brooke says
My absolute favorite part of this series is Nevada’s family and how they act like a real family with all the ups and downs, but I also love everything else about this series and everything written by these amazing authors
Chelsea says
What 1st made me love your new series was the description of Nevada’s family home. Also when she shouts Squirrel! and Rogan swerves to avoid hitting it.
Its all the little things you put into your books that just make me grin.
Kikki Felton says
I love the fact that in this family that has been written off there is great power. I love that they are a quirky family and make allowences for everybody’s crazy
Minna Swann says
I love that Nevada can hold her own against big bad Rogan, and THAT’S why they’re so good together! 😀
Patricia says
I absolutely adore the world building, reading the novel makes my imagination run wild and once I finish the book there’s a wide smile on my face. The plot is so intriguing, with strong characters that interact well with each other — not just the main couple, but Nevada’s family as well. Such great dynamics along with a solid plot line makes this one of my fave series. Can’t wait for this to be released and fingers crossed I can win it!
Jenette says
There are so many wonderful layers, it’s hard to choose just one. Perhaps my favorite is how supportive and unified Nevada’s family is. In a world where any one of them could go off on his or her own to make their fortune, or FORTUNE, they choose to stick together. Despite being made up of unique, strong-willed, and strong-minded individuals, they have each other’s backs. They’re not perfect–they argue and quibble like any family–but at the end of the day, there’s no question whose side they’re on. Even when Nevada and her mom butt heads, Penelope doesn’t suddenly become “the enemy”. They’re able to talk things through and in some cases, agree to disagree.
Even before acknowledging the full extent of their magical powers, the Baylor family was a force to be reckoned with. Now, watch out world! I think we’ve only just scraped the surface of what they have to offer.
Ginny says
Nevada’s grandmother. Although she is older, you didn’t marginalize her or her talents. And she is not sweet or sour but rather a real human being.
Lucinda says
I love the world building and I love our insecure, flawed heroine with heart and jaded innocence desperate to ‘do the right thing’. Thank you so much for hidden legacy – grateful, Lucinda of the BDHorde
Wes says
I love that they, the Baylor family, might drive each other crazy, but if anyone hurts one of them they band together and will kick some butt. But really I just love Bern….and I want my own Hut of Evil.
Kankan says
Too many faves able in this series…… Forced to pick one to list, I would say…….. HOUSTON, baby!! Born and bred!!!! Love reading about my hometown!!!
Peg says
I love how strong Nevada is even when she’s facing off with Rogan. I also love how close Nevada’s family is.
Kelly Tsang says
I love that all the characters are flawed but they work to accept each other and create a close relationship.
Theresa says
Hiyo Ilona and Gordon, what I love about the Hidden Legacy series is the wonderful sense of humour, and Nevada’s spunk!!
CyndiT says
Okay I have to be honest, I haven’t started this series yet. Burn For Me has been sitting on my nightstand calling my name for a while now. Why haven’t I started it you may or may not be asking? And the answer is because my poor heart could not handle another suspenseful wait as each book comes out like it has to deal with as I wait for the next Kate Daniels and Innkeeper Chronicles. It’s a given that I will fall in love with the characters and the world that you two have created.
Tracy W says
I love how Nevada is devoted to her family and how she will do anything for them
Monina Cabanada says
I love it that each member of the family respect each other’s abilities and support each other no matter what. All their disagreements are worked out and nothing changes about their regard for each other.
Jordan R. says
I love the world and the rules of the magic. I can’t wait to learn more about the Houses and see Nevada come into her full power!
Senona Macias says
Haven’t read it yet, but I LOVE the Kate Daniels series.
San Felicien says
I love this series. It works on so many levels. First- the world building and premise is so creative. Discovering more about the houses, the types of magic, the ninja ferrets is a delight. Second, the Baylor family dynamics- who doesn’t need a tank building grandma, a sniper mom, a hacker cousin, and some teenage drama in their life? Finally, a fiery chemistry between Nevada and Rogan with plenty of sass thrown in. Thank you both for a wonderfully entertaining read.
Adriana R. says
Ferret heist!
Candice says
NINJA ferret heist!!! ??
Barbara Davis says
It is so hard to pick one, but i really enjoy your character building. You start with interesting characters, and like pealing the layers of an onion, each book shows us more, and it is not just the main characters, but all of the secondary characters are just as interesting (plus the amazing Renee Raudman – she is one of the best!)
Amy K says
I like reading about the Babylon family dynamics. I like the three generations, the love and respect they have for each other, the irreverence. Glad to have a family at the center of a series.
Amy K says
Baylor, not Babylon
Brenda says
I love everything about this series!! I just might (gasp!) like it better than the Kate books, but I haven’t decided yet. My favorite things about these books are the relationships between the characters,:Nevada with Rogan, the Baylor family dynamics, and their individual relationships with Rogan, and Rogan himself. He is the best book boyfriend a reader could have! The humor and impossibly funny little things like the ferrets always make me smile. Can’t wait until July 25!!
Ella C says
I can’t really pinpoint what my favorite thing in Hidden Legacy is. All I know is that I’m fully immersed and invested in the story and the cast of characters. Whatever it is you’re doing to make this happen, please keep on doing it!
Rinib says
I love the house power system and the world it creates. The characters are great and the humor in the familial interaction is so funny. So basically, everything 🙂
Carolyn C. says
I love the relationships that play out in this book. The romantic tension between Nevada and Rogan. The caring and love among Nevada’s family is so visible you either laugh or cry for them.
Jasmine says
Wildfire! I love nevadas grandma!! But I love Nevadas and Connor most of all!!!
Megan says
I love how the Baylors always keep moving forward; they never give up.
Claudia says
First off, I love you guys.❤❤❤ and thank you.
What i love about Hidden Legacy?
It brought me back to my first love — reading.
Its been 5 years since i have gotten disenchanted with reading a book due to my busy schedule and stessful life. But Burn for Me is the first book ive read from start til end in the past 5 years. This series really made me love reading books and stories again. For that, I sincerely want to say thank you. I really hope this is not the last book. I need more of Hidden Legacy…
Kristen Randall says
I love the strong women in the book, and equally strong men. This is really important to me in books, and you NAIL it!
Kristen Randall says
I love the strong women throughout the whole story!
Emily says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legacy is the worldbuilding. There are other authors whose characters I like better (though don’t get me wrong, your characters are awesome and among my favorites as well) but your worlds are the best!
Carla says
My favorite thing about the hidden legacy series is all the fun characters that make up the Baylore family.
Bridget says
I love the magic system in hidden legacy series, it’s so unique and refreshing. It really drew me into the series.
Jennifer says
I have not read the Hidden Legacy series but will soon.
andrew allred says
i absolutely love everything about these books but especially the crazy animals that pop up like sgt teddy and ninja ferrets just makes my day
KC says
I love how the Baylor family sticks together – great to see the family bonds.
Linda says
I love Nevadas spunk! They’re just fun reads.
Tineke says
I like a lot of things, like your style of humor and the interaction between Nevada and her family.
(Ooh, and if I win, I would prefer a paperback, if possible.)
puggy02 says
I love that it’s an awesome series. Plain and simple. 😀 The Kate Daniels series is by far my #1 favorite (and I’m not just saying that) so I’m always leery when a new series is started. But you guys have hit it out of the park again with this one. I love the family dynamic, Connor (hot hot hot!) and this new world of magic. The way you create these worlds and characters and how you tell the stories is what makes your books so amazing. Thank you!
Jae says
My favorite thing in Hidden Legacy is definitely Nevada and her family and their wonderful, loving, hilarious dynamic.
Laurie Wojdyla says
My favorite thing is that the Baylor’s are a family that really love and sour each other. They have their issues, but in the end they all come together. A lot of books have those broken families, which doesn’t make them bad, but it’s nice to sometimes get those families that really represent what families should be.
Patti connelly says
The best thing is everything! From the characters, to the world building… I absolutely love this series. Ilona Andrews is brilliant at creating a world that a reader can totally immerse themselves in. Thank you both!
Sue Padgett says
I gotta say, love that grandma!
Ashe H. says
I love the characters and their interactions with each other in this series. Whether they get along with Nevada or not, the characters have their own fears and goals, as well as distinct personalities, which make for well-developed characters that are a joy to read about.
CharisN says
Hope Baybay (*and family) is doing well.
Martina D. says
I love many aspects of the hidden legency books so far. But the one thing that comes to my mind is the many talents Nevada and her family show. At the beginning you think they are minor talents comparing to Rogan. Now we see a development which brings them and especially Nevada on an equal basis with him.
Tiana says
Definitely the sense of humor and playful sarcasm prominent throughout your writing, but especially memorable in Burn for Me and White Hot
Thi P says
I love the characters. I really want to know what happens next! I think it’s cool how the bad aren’t really bad bc it’s all about which view you see them in.
Kim P says
I haven’t read them yet but my sister loves your books and has been on me to try out this series.
Lee Si Qiao says
I love Nevada’s loyalty and love for her family. Not only that, I’m excited to see how their romance will progress and the hopefully the final reveal of everybody’s power and endgame
F. K says
Hey all.
MY favourite thing about the series is the animals ???
I mean bears and ninja ferrets?
SQUEEEE
hope I get a book ???
Ana says
i love how the relationship between them develops!
Ashley L. says
I love the character building of the Baylor family. There’s a common thread about the importance of family sticking together, and how the Baylors are always ready to fight for and protect each other.
priscilla says
I like that it’s based in Houston.
IreneMBBT says
The world of Hidden Legacy is intriguing both in the environment that Nevada, Rogan & extended cast currently have to function in; but, as with the Smirnoff Rubber-band theory, you can’t help but wonder how this world will grow & evolve in future.
The Romantic Suspense genre of Hidden Legacy is a wonderful way of telling a story focused in love, courage, honor, integrity, compassion, protection, family – attributes that define the best human we can be. They lift us higher than just the limitations of our physical body.
The characters of Hidden Legacy are wonderfully human in their limitations and how they push each other to grow forward together, both personally & professionally. The Baylor-Afram family is made up of unique characters that are smart enough to value each other & being part of their family.
The love and humor of Hidden Legacy are what draws the whole story and series together and make it such a fun place to live in for the time allowed. Thanks for creating and sharing this world.

Tanya Nault says
Omg. I love how Nevada is such a product of her upbringing. She was taught to hide her magic and so she never fully tested it, but like with so many things, when push comes to shove she rose to the occaison only to discover her limits are much higher and her applications of it more multifaceted than she dared dream. As such she is having to face the repercussions that come with discover this truth and stretching her magically legs (so to speak).
Her sense of self and family values is something terribly lacking in so much of the media today, movies, games, books, comic books. There are so many attributes we all (hopefully) strive to teach our children and so often it seems doesn’t work out (if you watch the news). These values are, of course, confidence, sense of self, family first, honor, integrity, honesty, work hard for what you get, always be true to yourself and what you can live with, and do your due diligence because others are counting on you (not a value per sey but something more people should recall).
UschiK says
What I loved best was the title with a Hello Kitty t-shirt for Rogan. It sums up the feeling of the story: awesome powers, but don’t take yourself to serious. What ever happens, there is always time for a little fun and happiness.
(Same goes for the authors, who go out of their way to deliver better and better written stories, but also stay approachable and keep in touch with their fans by blog and promotion tours.)
Stephanie says
I really enjoy the Hidden Legacy series because of the character development. The characters such as Nevada are not unidimensional, even the side characters like Bug and her sisters are getting interesting. As a reader, you are really brought along for not just the ride through the explosions but also the character growth as they learn to make hard choices, cry and live with their choices. One also cannot forget the humour. I love the wit, the sarcasm, and the snarky tones. The world building is amazing. I mean, I’m also a fan of the Kate Daniel series but I really love the world that Hidden Legacy is built on. Lastly, there is just enough romance, mystery and adventure to keep a reader like me going. I cannot wait for more! Looking forward to the next book!
Alicia says
I love the family relationships, they’re true to real life and actually positive despite arguments, which makes a nice change in novels!
I cannot wait for the next book, thanks for the stellar writing!
Minna says
The Hidden legacy series has become one of my favorite book series and it started with me not being interested in Burn for me (mostly due to the cover) but I enjoyed the KD series and really liked the Innkeeper books so I picked it up and could not put it down! The world is so well thought out and Nevada is a great main character and Rogan a great dragon! I like that not everything is handed to you as a reader at once, it is a slow burn not only in the romance part but also in the story about the Baylor family and their magic and that is what keeps me interested and wanting more. I like that Nevada has been a bit of a magic outsider and we get to follow her and learning about the magic world when she does. It is just a really well written and thought out book series!
Cori Shaye says
I’m new to you and in the last two months, I’ve blazed through every single one of your books. Something I love love LOVE is your character development. I see very few authors who can achieve a complete change in character behavior, yet still capture audience attention. You two capture the essence of experience impacting decision making and beautifully execute that on paper in the Hidden Legacy series.
Nevada is a *prime* example of this.
I’m not sorry.
She is bold and brave, but naive. She’s ignorant and childish in book 1 and slowly but surely improves in book 2. As a young woman who kills for the first time, her reactions are appropriate and necessary. Almost every move she makes scares her, but she preservers because as she learns, she fears less and less.
It saddens me that only 3 books were contracted, but I can see the necessity; since most of her problems will disappear once she becomes a force to be reckoned with. But for now, she’s learning and we are learning with her.
I’m very grateful to have been able to read and enjoy this short series. It’s very different from your others, but so beautifully written. I needed a world to fall into and it was provided perfectly.
Thank you all for everything you do and all the hard work. It’s much appreciated.
Ashleigh says
My favorite thing about Hidden Legecy (and all of Ilona Andrews books) is the characters and world building. Everything is so well developed and explored without info dumping. Plus who couldn’t help but to love these characters!?
Jamie says
I love that the books are finally here! It has been a long wait but so worth it to hear the witty banter between Nevada and Rogan. They are great characters.
Heather says
Grandma Frida is pretty ridiculously awesome. I love to see a grandma character in a book who not only isn’t given the role of primary caregiver but who also gets to be the playfully irresponsible person in the room.
Laria says
I really enjoy the dynamics of Nevada’s family and their devotion to each other. I’m also super happy that it’s set in TX; it makes me homesick. 🙂
Jill says
My favorite thing is the human interaction between the characters, not just Rogan and Nevada. The whole family is gifted and the interaction between them and Nevada is wonderful. She has to “use” them to “protect” them. Exposing their talents to establish a house. The third book will be AWESOME!
Brian says
As with all your books, I enjoy the rich depth to the world and characters. With Hidden Legacy, I am also, intrigued by the magic system and look forward to learning more about it.
Rebecca Lam says
I love the Baylor family characters. Each one is so unique and their personalities so well crafted that I feel like I know them personally! My favorite is arabelle!
Love your books and counting down the days until the 25th!
Carolinareader says
So much to love but if I had to pick one I love that Nevada calls Rogan out when he does something over the line
Melisa says
I change my answer.
“You can’t let someone in the house because you think he’s pretty.”
That’s why I like the Hidden Legacy series, pretty men and snappy humor.
Also Nevada is right. 😀
Jennifer R. says
I love the universe you created for Hidden Legacy. Keeping track of all the politics is quite fun too. Thank you for the opportunity.
Lauren says
I love the characters Ilona Andrews create. Nevada and Rogan come alive for me. I also love how the world building in this book is related to the actual world but adds the magic!
Tiffany says
I love the family and the character relationships. LOVE Nevada’s family.
Alexis H. says
It’s hard to pick my favorite thing out of the entire Hidden Legacy series but…it’s got to be Mad Rogan. Who wouldn’t want to be his 😉 But seriously, I feel as if this world is a bit easier to digest than the world of Kate Daniels (which I also love). I’ve told my mom about both series and she’s about to understand the world of Hidden Legacy easier and is now loving the series as well. Can we also get more of Nevada’s grandmother! She’s my hero and I want to be her when I grow up.
Kimei J. says
I love how much of an Alphahole Rogan is. He embodies the role completely per descriptions in one of your previous blog posts on the subject – “He is arrogant and ruthless, sometimes cruel, seemingly unfeeling, and at the onset of the story, he often treats heroine with disdain and attempts to order her around. In most cases, the heroine reacts poorly to his attempts to control her, which puzzles, infuriates, and intrigues him.”
Aleja says
I love the world you’ve built. My favorite part in some ways is finding out more about the logic/science behind the different types of magic, who develops what magic and why.
Carla Twynam says
I love Hidden Legacy, particularly that regardless of what is happening the characters all have an underlying sense of humor, which make every page an enjoyable read.
Amy says
Favorite thing… too many. Great plotting, excellent world building, diverse cast of characters (though I think Kate’s world has this one beat in that regard), slow burn romance, I love the magic system and how you guys give them clear limits.. but I guess since I’m more into characters than plotting, I’ll have to go with the intricate characters you guys create. I legit can’t recall any one dimensional characters in this, or any, of your series.
It’s okay if I don’t win since I already have the audible version on preorder.
Ness says
Nevada is awesome. I love the interaction between her and Rogan, and between her and her family. But the humor throughout is probably my favorite element of the series. 🙂 Thanks for keeping us entertained with all your wonderful books!!
Camila says
I love Hidden Legacy, but I think my favourite part is the Baylor family dynamics and how they’re so accepting of one another. I love that Nevada’s in the middle of a dangerous case and still takes time to take pictures for her grandma’s vine, how right after being shot at she still thinks about getting her sister’s sushi, how considerate she is of her family’s opinion and always tries to keep them in the loop. I love that when they’re in danger because of a case that she ultimately chose to take, they all run to their stations to cover each other’s backs. That’s why I’m truly hoping she tells Leon the truth about his powers…
Thank you so much for writing such amazing stories and creating so many incredible universes. I love them all. And I reread them often. Thanks.
Taylor says
I think my favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the world building! I love Nevada/Rogan but I’d also be cool if there were more novels in the same world, with the same or different protagonists.
Hannah says
The Baylor family is my favorite part of the HIdden legacy series. I love how badass they get to protect one another.
Summer says
I love the world building.
Alex M says
I love the different classifications of magic in the book. I though you did a fantastic job coming up with the branches of magic used by different families. I have never seen this type of magical world before and I loved how unique it is. I also appreciated the rules of inheritence of magic.
Tori O says
The depth of both the worldbuilding and the characters is amazing and easily one of my favorite things about this series.
MP says
What I love most about the story are the characters. They interact and connect with each other well, and are complex, believable, imperfect, and likable. They really drive the story, sucking me in and creating an emotional investment that keeps me reading long after I should have gone to bed. So, not great for my focus at work the next day, but perfect for an enjoyable read!
Aarati says
YAY! I love, love the scenes when it talks about the Baylor family creating their own House. House politics is so cool!
Tanja says
I love the characters you created.
Ashley says
I love Nevada’s relationship with her family. Lots of love and humor
Maddox says
I love Nevada’s sisters and how they’re developing. They started out as these bratty little sisters but they’re turning into strong women aware of their power and responsibilities, but still occasionally act like the barely past teenagers they are, lol.
M says
One of my favorite things is Grandma being a matchmaker and her social media habit.
Meaghan says
I love the interaction between Nevada’s family and Rogan. Her sisters, cousins, and grandmother seem to completely ignore the level of threat he poses.
CChin says
I love the world that Ilona Andrews imagines (the Smirnoff Rubber Band Theory backwards!). It is well developed and makes sense and within that world, the events and the characters are “realistic.” I love the detail, both magical and mundane, as well as character development. The storytelling is enhanced by such, because I am not getting distracted by inconsistencies. Thank you.
Katie says
My favorite thing? I would have to be the fact that Nevada’s Family feel so real in their struggles, and the fact that they truly love each other, even with such different personalities
Vicki Wurgler says
I haven’t read the Hidden Legacy
Natalie says
I love that I have a new series from you to explore since I have only now started it.
Meryl says
I loved the Kinsmen stories and Of Swine and Roses, and was really excited to see where you would take the concept of hereditary specialized magic traits and families with Hidden Legacy. Not surprisingly, this world is fascinating and exciting. But like all of your works, I love that the world building is the perfect frame for the heart of your stories – the people and relationships, the relatable human interactions and motivations and growth. I’ve been counting down the days to Wildfire and have already read the first two multiple times. More please!!!
Colleen says
I love that the authorlords make me care about all of the characters. None are one-dimensional, toss off characters. I always want more of the authors’ work as soon as I complete the newest story, and usually go back and re-read them often. A book is a gift you can open over and over again.
Alicia says
I love Nevada’s interaction with her sisters. It reminds me of the bickering that I did with my own sister growing up. It’s also been a treat to see the younger Baylor’s grow-up a bit over the first two books. You get a real sense of them as people, not just side characters.
Jessica says
I absolutely love watching Nevada grow and see that the world and those who inhabit it don’t exactly fit in the boxes she’d picked for them.
Giuseppina DeDilectis says
I love the relationships within Nevada’s family! They bicker like typical families but they always have each other’s back.
Tannie says
I haven’t read any yet!! But I will! Thank you for this.
rdk says
Hidden Legacy is my favorite Ilona Andrews series. I love the world building, and how fantastic in Nevada’s universe seems so real. The characters are realistic and very likeable, the dialog is sparkling, the adventures are exciting. What’s not to love?
Pat says
What not to love. There is so much where to begin. I love love the fact that they stick together as a family face the problems at hand. That the family unit consist of more that mom and dad. (that’s how i grew up in house with my grandparents, aunts and cousins). I love the fact that Nevada and Rogan didn’t just fell in love like every other romance book. I love the fact that Nevada is a strong woman who follows her heart and her mind and makes her own decisions. And Grandma Frida who reminds me of my own grandma ready to give comfort and support.
Pat says
And the magic
Melissa Nedved says
I love how Nevada misinterprets Rogan’s actions. She makes mistakes and has insecurities like all of us. She’s relatable even though her circumstances are out of the ordinary.
Chelle says
What’s not to love??? I think my favorite thing is the relationships. I have loved watching Nevada and Rogan’s evolving relationship as well as Nevada’s relationship and interactions with her family. The books are such a delight to read!
Carrie C. says
The writing and humor is first class. I know it’s a great book when my family finds me laughing on the couch curled up with a book.
Patrick M. says
As with all your books, I’ve read Burn for Me several times, though White Hot only once and almost too fast to process, so that I am now starting again to savor it properly and prepare for Wildfire. All of your worlds are fun and engaging, but I particularly admire this time is the complex motivations of the characters, particularly the powerful primes you’ve dropped into, we surmise, an otherwise modern democracy. They have some of that superhero archetype, but because they head families they have a whole extra set of dynastic drives. Also, that they exist in sufficient numbers to be a force, but not dominate, drives them into a more objective distancing from the world compared to your standard charge-in and save-the-day superhero. It’s all very fascinating, and I thank you again for the delight you bring your readers.
Ree Moreau says
Wow – So my favorite thing about the Hidden Legacy series is the complexity of the world. I love the fact that there are so many options, yet it all ties together. So many ways this series can go in the future!
I also really like the Nevada stories, as she knows when to ask for help but also when to stand on her own. She doesn’t just run into a fight, she thinks logically about when to be alpha and when to ask for help. That is something you don’t always find, a smart female character who doesn’t just try to do everything on her own. LOVE THAT!!!
WendyK says
I love all your books and the worlds you create. In the Hidden Legacy series, I especially love Nevada’s strong family ties — she has their backs and they have hers, and while they may bicker and disagree, it is easy to see the love that grounds and surrounds them. Looking forward to next week and the Wildfire release! And thank you also for being such generous authors by sharing snippets and even whole books (Sweep in Peace, etc.) with your readers. It makes a visit to your website a must-do every day!
Meriem says
The thing I like the most about Hidden Legacy is probably the relationship Nevada has with her family. Their interactions are always hilarious, and I’d LOVE if all the members of her family got a book (or a spin-off). 😀
Paula says
I love the magic system and world building!
Christine says
These books are just so incredibly well-written! I love the way the characters are all so complex but so very human with both strength and vulnerability, good intentions and self-interest. The enemies are also well-rounded making them more interesting to read even if they are clearly bad characters. The authors trust in the intelligence of the readers and don’t vomit out information, but let the readers discover the details or work out the plot. Nevada and Conner’s relationship is my favorite part of this series…and I’m so excited to read the third installment of this series to see how it evolves from White Hot!
Katherine Buchanan says
I love Sargeant Teddy. So random. I’ve read the first 2 books over a dozen times. I can’t wait to read Wildfire!
Caroline says
How can I pick one favorite thing? I love
– how Nevada interacts with each family member
– Nevada’s developing relationship with Rogan
– the complex world building and learning about the characters and their magic (Bug, Cornelius)
Can’t wait for the next book!
Hong says
I love hte writing style, It’s fun but can be serious as well and it lightens my day.
Elizabeth R. says
I like that she rejected Rogan until she knew he had genuine compassion for others.
Amanda Jason says
Love the family dynamics- they feel very real, very lived in.
Hue says
I haven’t read it; would love to.
Becky Slemons says
I cannot WAIT to see how this wraps up. I was drawn in pretty quickly in Burn for Me – and I will be sad when I finish the last page. Thanks for this great story.
Michell says
Nevada’s character arc is amazing – her reactions to Mad Rogan are hilarious – love everything about this series
Kelly says
I adore how Rogan *tries* to be a better person for Nevada. It’s just that sometimes the road to get there is, you know, bumpy.
Jillian says
I love Rogan!
Stacy Sties says
I love that Nevada and Rogan are both very strong characters and that they make each other better people because of it.
Rochelle Frankson says
My favorite thing about the hidden legacy series is how it so seamlessly meshes real life Texas with the influence of so many different magical talents.
Jennifer Lin says
I love how the powers combine so-called “normal” abilities and then some super random ones, like pied piper!
Wilda Sowell says
I love the relationships and family dynamics. Also Mad. Rogan. Need I say more?
Sarah E says
Honestly, I love this series. I think what draws me the most is the family aspect. No matter how much families bicker amongst themselves, one word from an outsider and the family unites against them. That is so familiar and so resoundingly true that it draws me deeper into Nevada’s world.
Chris says
I’ve loved the first 2 books. Really love how Rogan’s character is developing from scary Mad Rogan. Also love Nevada’s character and how she stands up for herself against all of Rogan’s natural dominance. Interesting to see him negotiate.
Suzanne says
I love Nevada, she is strong and smart, but also kind and she puts others before herself. I also really love the world and the magic backstory. But most of all I just love the way Ilona and Gordon write, it just always draws me in and gives me the tingles and the feels!
Roz Heiko says
The magic…of relationship, of world-building, of craft.
Elizabeth Allen says
I love the interaction between Connor and Nevada. Seriously funny!!
Ruth Hangaly says
I really like the books because the characters seems so real and funny – i very mich enjoyed seeing the change and development of the characters over the course of the books – and can’t wait to see what will happen in the next book
Additionally- the books motivate me to improve my English
Kim Jones says
I love the family dynamic and how they tease each other, support each other and come together to solve the problem. Love all of the characters and animals. Can’t wait to learn more about The Nefarious Plot that’s slowly coming out in the story.
Zana says
Love that Rogan is a modern day hero…awesome and powerful in his own right but super supportive of Nevada’s independence….and this series is the best written with amazing characters!!
Tatianna says
For me it’s all about the Baylor’s. Grandma is a hoot, and a badass. Mom is broken but still mom, there is no way around this, Nevada is as strong as she is because the women before her laid a foundation of strength and compassion.
The family for me is the core of it all and I would so read stand alone granny stories!
FarSh says
Cannot wait for this book! Nevada is the best, love the family and of course the romance!!
Jenna Johnson says
The best part of Hidden Legacy??? What to chose! I think I like learning about all the different ways magic manifests in people, giving them each their own talents.
Laura Howell says
I love the verbial bantering between all the characters ☺
Willie Cowart says
Fantastic character development and situations. Especially the realistic comparison between privileged money and working class, even with magic. Can’t wait for more!
Jennifer Q. says
I love the interactions and the dialog that Nevada has in the series. She’s one smart, no-nonsense cookie with a sense of humor.
Joe says
You had a nice post on the different types of series (episodic vs. ongoing). I really like the character development; Nevada’s maturation, her family’s emergence, and Rogan adjusting to these things. Oh, and the action and romance aren’t too bad either!
Christian Chandler says
The give and take family dynamic. The crazy beauty of Nevada’s life and how fiercely she loves
Alicia Crider says
Haven’t read Hidden Legacy.
Jen Smith says
I love the family interactions. I’m an only child, so I love seeing big families and the interplay between them.
Donnis says
I love everything about this series. The relationship between Rogan & Nevada, and then Rogan &his people, and Nevada & her family

1) Banter! Good banter is one of the best things in life and you two give us that is spades through these characters. This is my favorite series because of your amazing dialogue.
2) Its my 30th birthday today! This would be the best present I’ve ever received!
Lauren Moser says
I love the character development and world building of all the books. This is a series where I would be happy to read the story of any character because they are all interesting and exciting!
Lisa says
I love the depth of each character and the way they interact, as well as the banter between Rogan and Nevada.
Janet says
Very enjoyable series, i love all the same things as everyone else, but i also like Nevada basic decency and the way she treats others.
Clarissa says
Who was the lucky winner ?
Laura Kenney says
My favorite part of the series, thus far, is watching Nevada’s internal struggles, and subsequent growth as a person. It makes her a very relatable character, even though the setting falls in an alternate reality.
Alana Davis says
I absolutely love the humour. There is nothing better than a book that makes to laugh yourself stupid in public and this series has done this multiple times.
Angela says
I love the dialogue and the humor ^_^
Sue Vincent says
Your books send me to a good place where I can drop off the worries and chaos of daily life and relax among friends knowing that good will triumph but with a twist.
I love Nevada’s grandmother and her ability to build anything while being the rock of the family. I am intrigued with the complications Nevada’s paternal family will bring to the mix.
Overall I have difficulty waiting patiently for the next story whether it is Kate’s, the Innkeeper’s, or Nevada’s. I want them all the app we the better!
Janis Graham says
Congrats to all of the winners. I went to the Ripped Bodice in Culver City, CA yesterday and got my books signed by Ilona and Gordon. I went home and read it – you have a real treat coming your way! Hope you all enjoy this one!
