Horde, horde, horde. We really have to work on sneakiness.
No sooner did I say to be cool and act like nothing happened, that I feel the Earth start to shake and a roaring squeee reaches me in London: KAAAAAAAAAAATE! I guess one could say you loved it hehe.
Ilona was so right when she wrote this (back by popular demand):
Fandom Tea Party
Hidden Legacy = HL Innkeeper Chronicles = IC Kate Daniels = KD
HL fans eating samoas and sipping tea.
HL 1: It is romance.
HL 2: I love it and I love you, but it’s not.
HL 1: I value your feelings but have to respectfully disagree. If you put all three books into one giant book…
HL 3: I think both of your arguments are solid, but I wanted to go into a different direction. I have this new theory. Listen, I think Grandma Frida is Caesar…
At the other side of the table IC fans are nibbling on thin mints
IC 1: Look at this rose made out of crepes I found on Pinterest. Doesn’t it look like something Orro would make?
IC 2: Did you know IA has a pinterest board for IC?
IC 3 and IC 1: Oooh.
IC 3: All I am saying is that they better put enough book out or there might be ripper cushions.
IC 2: Oh, hee-hee, you are too much.
The door bursts open and HL 4 runs in
HL 4: They’re coming!
IC 1: Grab the tea!
HL 2: Save the cookies.
IC 3: Shields up. Brace, brace, brace!
The horde of KD fans explodes through the door, wearing dirty armor, swinging blood-stained weapons, and screaming gibberish.
KD 1 roaring: The KD series is the best series! Amehe!
KD 2 bellowing: Kate and Curran are the BEST couple, the only couple, couple goals! Ranar kair! Join us!
KD 3: FUS RO DAH!
Everything stops.
KD 1: What is wrong with you, Steve?
KD 3: Um, sorry, I got excited.
KD 2: Go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.
HL 1: Would you like a cookie?
KD 4: We spit on your cookie! We take our cookies dipped in vampire blood! Give us Kate Daniels or give us death!
KD 5, headbutting the table: Sharratum! I pledge myself to you, now and for all eternity!
Kate is my fav kick ass heroine. Rogan is my fav flawed hero. Celino is the one who makes me tear up. My heart breaks for Hugh. Matias is my fav everything. Catalina is who I want to be. Maud is who I want to be my best friend. I want to live in New Delphi, vacation among the dahlias of the provinces, bargain hunt in Baha-char and hunt dangerous things in the swamps of the Broken. I want Orro to make me things whose taste will rock my world. I want to go adventuring with George and Jack, have movie and popcorn night with the lees, give Cookie the squeezies, debate the meaning of life with the First Scholar, see Meli and Rosie dance in a dojo, waltz with Gaston, see George get to go home and watch the stars of deepest space spin slide past House Krahr’s battle station. I want to be the anthropologist who writes the definitive book on the Holy Anocracy, sample ALL the coffee with Lady Ilemina, travel the world of the Weird to map all its faces and places and dream my way into all the undiscovered places that exist in the realms that exist under the aegis under House Andrews.
I am a purist BDH member. I want it all, whenever it gets here, no matter what its about. There isn’t even a single story I didn’t like. They have all been excellent, even as some have risen above for whatever reason.
My favorite book: the one I haven’t read yet. 🙂

You said it so beautifully.
Where’s the KM for Kinsmen?! 😀
KM: I am here too, being a wallflower at this party.
Omg yes. I love Kinsmen!
Ok, so I’m new to the BDH so I don’t know, whether it’s a thing or not…..
But I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see Grandma Frida as Caesar! It would be amazing, the thought is genius!!
Please tell me, that this is a legit theory with explanations and stuff. I would SO join the parade!
All theories are legit! Personally, my theories are never right. Lol
I really love this. Occasionally I revisit it because it is so lovely. This is a good time to share it with us while we are feeling bereft. Thank you.
I wouldn’t want to have to pick. And I love that tea party.
Hahahahaha accurate description of me and KD. The Amehe got me cackling
Is there a Pinterest Board for IC?!
WHHEEEEE! 🙂
Love this so much! Thank you for resurrecting it. Makes me laugh so hard – always a spit take.
BWAHAHAHA!!!
I just snort-laughed when I read that!
I am in the “I love everything Ilona Andrews” camp ????
I love everything that House Andrews writes 🙂
I think there’s just a lovely feeling when I get to read about Kate after she and Curran have their HEA, like they are sending us postcards from their HEA ????
OMG you made a Skyrim reference ????
HL Fan: Oh we will be very thankful if you can continue with Arabella’s story, too. And we’re very grateful that you have finished Catalina’s story.
IC Fan: Thank you very much for your hard work in continuing the Innkeeper Series. It’s okay if you can’t give it to us weekly. We will appreciate anything you have to offer.
KD Fans: (thrown a little snippet) WE WANT KD 11! (the poor bone of a snippet gnawed to the marrow) WE ARE HUNGRY FOR MORE! WE HAVE PLEDGED OUR LOYALTY TO SHARRATUM! WE WILL HONOR IT UNTIL OUR LAST BREATH! MORE! MORE! MORE!
???????? so funny but also so true!!!
lol… yep… that’s about right.
HAIL SHARRATUM!!!!!
The Tea Party is JUST PERFECT. Long live House Andrews! And the Horde of course
Loved the snippet- KD world is the best. The best. And I don’t think Kate and Curran want their HEA if it means no adventures to share with their fans.
Thank you Mod R for posting and thank you Andrews for writing!!
LOL!!! This made me guffaw so hard I got dizzy and saw stars! I love all three series, but I have to say… I align the most with the KD Horde, lol!
I’m not gonna lie. I was so excited about it but I was trying to be cool. I was having some serious KD withdrawals and it came right on time. I know what you are thinking…Time for a reread! But I would never finish before Ruby Fever and I want to be in the right mindset. And it’s not like I can wait to read Ruby Fever after it comes out. That’s just not going to happen.
Breing one of the people who asked for this immediately following you comment to be cool, let me just say: thank you so much Mod R!!!! You really do spoil us ❤️
I spent so many hours (fun hours, but still, hours) going through old posts – I now have it bookmarked ????
Also, had forgotten about FUS RO DAH – still makes me LOL
ROFL…..thank you. It just funnier, every time I read it . And TRUE!
And this right here is why we adore House Andrews!
Dear Mod R, I wanted to thank you for answering my question about Doolittle/Dr. Cole yesterday. I know how busy you must be, and I really appreciate it!
It’s what I’m here for ☺️
Hehe as a KD fan (it is THE BEST OF THE SERIES) I feel this is accurate.
Still makes me laugh ????????????
I’m a KD fan as well as IC, I find myself reasonable, I think ????????
Heh. If our rabid side gives the Authors a bit of amusement, great! And cookies are always appreciated, without blood. Julie’s book did have me thinking PTA with Conlan would be an adventure.
Oh yeah sneaky isn’t in me, sorry not sorry.
Go Kate!
LOL! So true…and yet I am at all 3 parties.
So funny because it’s true. I love all three series, but my favorite bounces between HL and IC and I feel this deeply.
I’m the one with my back to the wall and my favorite cookies on a plate. I’ll be warily watching the others and seeping my tea when it’s safe to move.There has to be a I like all the series table in here somewhere. If not I’ll start one.
This made me laugh. I started with HL and then read the Edge, IC, and finally all of KD. Rogan and Nevada are my favorite couple. But I love everything IA has written. HL and KD the most. They are tied for me. And I really really hope we get an Arabella trilogy! I’ve already got my pre-order in for Ruby Fever. Also very much looking forward to the next installment of Ryder whenever it comes. 🙂 In the meantime, I’m keeping up with IC and loving it! Thanks House Andrews for many happy hours of reading!
????????????????????????????
Thank you!
Oh, thank you! thank you! I have been curious, you are so modest—and after this. I will have a much more in-depth picture of Romania…thank you for this treat!
I laughed so hard at the opening lines of this post.
So Mod, the actual rescue for next week’s snippet, or KD burns London to the ground???
KKKKAAAAAAAATTTTEEE
Lol
Random question. I hope it will be answered ???? but I Know Subterranean Press did some special editions for IA books. Is there any talks for Hidden Legacy to get some love? I would throw money for that xD
I will ask if anything is in the cards there ????
KD5 is…not that far off ????
