Book Description:
Just when Nevada Baylor has finally come to accept the depths of her magical powers, she also realizes she’s fallen in love. Connor “Mad” Rogan is in many ways her equal when it comes to magic, but she’s completely out of her elements when it comes to her feelings for him. To make matters more complicated, an old flame comes back into Rogan’s life…
Rogan knows there’s nothing between him and his ex-fiance, Rynda Sherwood. But as Nevada begins to learn more about her past, her power, and her potential future, he knows she will be faced with choices she never dreamed of and the promise of a life spent without him.
As Nevada and Rogan race to discover the whereabouts of Rynda’s kidnapped husband and are forced to confront Nevada’s grandmother, who may or may not have evil motives, these two people must decide if they can trust in each other or allow everything to go up in smoke.
It is so hard going into what you know will be the last book in a series. You want to both devour the sucker and take your time and make it last forever.
This series was one that, from the moment I picked up book two, so was very thankful that I had book two and three, because I needed more. It was so addicting in all it's Rogan and Nevada goodness that I just couldn't help myself.
I don't want to go into any of the details but I will say that Nevada is even more kick butt as she slowly discovers what she can do and is capable of while still trying to stay the person that she is and being able to take care of her family and still have Rogan be a part of her's as well as dealing with all that her magic entails. She is one feisty kick butt heroine that is full of duty and full of heart and I adored her throughout this whole series. She has stayed constant and true to who she is no matter what the circumstances.
And Rogan has of course, continues to be, well Rogan with maybe just a little bit more softness around the edges but still as strong and tough as ever. I loved seeing a bit more of a softer side to him ever now and then, it was nice but still made him ever bit of the bad a$& that we've come to know and love.
I loved how this ended. That while it was a conclusion to the story line, it was also a new beginning and yes, there is a part of me, maybe even a big part of me, that hopes that slightly open new beginning ending, could lead somewhere down the road to a continuation of the series.
Wonderfully written, plotted, and executed, this was a series worth waiting for.

Oh Oh Oh Oh, this author team is so high on my wish list and reviews like this just push it higher. :) Thanks Kindlemom
ReplyDeleteYou definitely would like this one Debbie. ;)
DeleteI'm so happy you loved this ending. This series has been amazing and I'm sad that this is the last book in the series. I'm excited to see more of this softer Rogan, and of course, I go gaga over badass Nevada all the time!
ReplyDeleteLovely review, Ali!
I guess the authors posted that they might continue it in indie form so that is very exciting!
DeleteI loved this too Ali. They are saying they hope to continue and are working with pub. *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteI know I saw that Kim! I really hope it happens.
DeleteI need to start this series. I'm a massive Ilona Andrews fan so I'm not sure why I haven't read these ones yet.
ReplyDeleteSimply Angela
I am too and it took me awhile to read them as well as one of their others too. I don't know why I waited, I've loved them all so far. ;)
DeleteI hate seeing a series come to an end too. Glad to hear that you liked this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!
DeleteIt stinks seeing a great series end but glad it was a good ending!!
ReplyDeleteMe too even if they don't end up making more, I love how it ended so I'm okay with it. :D
DeleteOr write more, I know they are thinking of continuing it if they can get signed for more books. We can keep our fingers crossed that they will!
ReplyDeleteI read your review not the blurb. I know backwards, but that's because I have book one and didn't want to know anything from the future books. You did a great job of keeping it spoiler free! Thanks Ali!
ReplyDeleteI try my hardest too! You will love this trilogy, I just know you will. ;)
DeleteI loved this one as well
ReplyDeleteIt was hard not to love it. ;)
DeleteI'm so glad this ending didn't disappoint! I'm really excited to read it and, like you, I just adore these two characters. I do hope Ilona Andrews returns to this world because it's so fascinating and I just love it!! Great review, dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Keertana! I know you will love it as well and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they do decide to write more.
DeleteAnother Urban Fantasy goodie! I have to check this series out!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun one. ;)
DeleteGlad this series ended with a great read!
ReplyDeleteYou can't ask for much more than that. ;)
DeleteYes, yes, yes!! So excited to get to this! I'm glad you love! Definitely looking forward to the finale and more! Great review!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love it too. :D
DeleteThis one is coming up soon for me. I'm so sad this is only a trilogy. ðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteMe too but they did say they would write more of they could get the series picked back up for more books so there is hope that there could be more books someday.
DeleteWhat is up with this series?!?! the cover arts are so bad that I've ignored them thinking they're cheesy. Then again it's by IA so major mistake there for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the covers are just awful, especially book two but you're right, it is the Andrews team and they are pretty dynamite. ;)
DeleteBook 3 and still 5-star rated?! My! I can't wait to start the book 2
ReplyDeleteYep and it's so worth it. ;)
DeleteArg. I suck. I've still not managed to get these started. The covers were a bit of a turn off for me for sure. But I do love them. Awesome to hear it ended so strongly!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the covers are awful and why I didn't start the series until this year when I started seeing reviews for it.
DeleteIt's hard to see a favorite series wrap up, but glad to hear it ended well!
ReplyDeleteIt is but it does make it better when it all comes together well. ;)
DeleteEnding? I haven't started the first. Oh well at least I can read them back to back now! :D
ReplyDeleteThere might be more if they can get another contract for them but yeah, as of now this is only a trilogy.
DeleteI loved books 1and 2. I will be reading this one soon. Can't wait to start. I do hope there will be a spinoff.
ReplyDeleteOr just more books. ;)
DeleteI'm so excited for this book. I've already got the audio on preorder.
