Andrews serves up a refreshing new magical society, excellent world-building, beguiling characters, and strong storytelling...Romantic sparks and a tangled mystery make this a lively, impressive series debut. (Publishers Weekly on BURN FOR ME)
Intriguing, multilayered characters and a fresh, imaginative alternate reality based in Houston help round out the heart-stopping, kick-butt action. Seeing Andrews’ name on a book is an iron-clad guarantee of an outstanding reading adventure! (Romantic Times BOOKclub, Top Pick, 4 1/2 stars, BURN FOR ME)
The stakes are high throughout, the action is tight, and the romance steamy...Readers will burn for the next installment. (Booklist (starred review), BURN FOR ME)

About the Author
"Ilona Andrews" is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.) They have co-authored two New York Times and USA Today bestselling series—the urban fantasy of Kate Daniels and the romantic urban fantasy of The Edge—and are working on the next volumes for both. They live in Texas with their two children and many dogs and cats.

First off, I am a huge Ilona Andrews fan girl. I’ve read just about all they have published. Second, I’ve followed the progress of this book on their website and read the snippets and have been eagerly awaiting this book. I had pre-ordered this book, so I jumped at the chance to get it early.
Nevada Baylor is a small time PI strong-armed into solving a case she normally wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole. She is tasked with bringing in a fire mage who is accused of killing a cop. In a paranormal world just like ours, magic and family are power. Nevada has family, but is short on the magic. She does have the ability to know if someone is truthful or not. But when she is going up against a fire mage who can melt the skin off her bones, it doesn’t help her much. Her investigation draws the eye of another powerful man, Mad Rogen, who wants the fire mage for his own reasons and joins forces with Nevada.
What I liked:
1. Nevada—Weird name, but awesome girl. It amazes me how unique and different she is than any other heroine Ilona Andrews has written before. She has common sense, is pretty intelligent, is incredibly loyal, and well rounded.
2. The World Building—everything about this world made sense and was easily understood. As a bonus, there was no huge info dump trying to explain it nor was left vague and open with little clues to figure out on my own.
3. Family—Nevada’s family is hilarious, but they also felt so real! Their conversations and actions felt like real life. (You can tell the authors have a house full of teenagers.)
4. Mad Rogen—what a conundrum. I loved trying to figure out Mad. He is incredibly powerful and used to things his way. The fact he can’t seem to crack Nevada has him scratching his head.Read more ›

Between the cover art and the title and the quote praising the book you would expect several graphic adult scenes. Calling it Paranormal Romance makes you think the female character is going to be obsessed with shoes or quoting Sex In The City.
Then the following lines come along:
"Is that a tank?"
"Technically that is a gun on tracks. Mobile field artillery. That's a tank in the corner. His name is Romeo."
This is not the paranormal romance you thought you were getting. (Weapons don't play that big a role; I just thought that was a good sample of the humor laced throughout the novel)
Nevada is just a small talent PI who has been supporting her family since the death of her father. The company is mortgaged to a larger firm and she is forced to take a case that will either kill her or she will fail and lose the company and family home and everything they own.
Mad Rogan is capable of knocking down a city and may be a sociopath. He is also a billionaire and a highly trained combat vet.
(Full disclosure: I own and have read everything Ilona Andrews has published, including the serial being posted to their website currently. I am amazed at the depth of their world construction and the sheer ingenuity they bring to each series.)
There are one or two sensual scenes, but not much in the way of the more usual soft-core porn.
Best of all...NO VAMPIRES!!! No werewolves or zombies. This is a bit more towards the superhuman genre than full paranormal. The one instance in which the word demon appears seems more descriptive than a reference to hellspawn.
I can hardly wait to see what they come up with next.

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy the Kate Daniels series. In 1863 scientists discovered a serum that brought forth latent, specific magical abilities in people and it was given to soldiers to give them an edge in fighting their enemies. They hadn't realized at the time that their offspring would also carry these abilities and stopped using the serum. Now, in today's world, families with powerful magic dominate. Other than the magic, this is the world we know with cell phones, laptops and mentions of Facebook and YouTube.
Nevada Baylor runs a family PI firm that is mortgaged to a much larger firm that has left them alone in the past. But when a very powerful fire mage kills someone while using his magic, his influential family wants him brought in before the police find him. She can't refuse, even knowing she's not capable of bringing him in, or her family would lose both the business and their home. Mad Rogan, the head of another rich and powerful house, has another reason for needing to find this guy and Nevada is his best chance of finding him.
This is nothing like the Kate series. The storyline, situations, philosophies and long term goals are vastly different. But I did recognize a couple of familiar traits between Kate/Curran and Nevada/Mad Rogan that I really enjoyed. There's a mystery, a great deal of action, and steamy sexual tension in small spurts that while important, don't overwhelm the story. Like Kate's series, the humor comes in the form of conversations, sarcastic thoughts and the sexual tension. It's listed as a romance because both are very attracted to the other, but don't expect an HEA at this point. More along the lines of the Kate series, expect a slow build up on the romance.Read more ›
