I was like "ohhh, this would fit Roman's book perfectly, and isn't that a quote from it?" and it was, indeed, made for Roman's book, perfectly 😌

So two of the things I like to do to center myself are journaling (though I need to work on consistency) and turning back to House Andrews work for comfort.

They never fail to make me feel better and I have controlled some pretty bad anxiety or panic attacks by going back to their books.

One of their quotes that makes me feel most poetic is this one: "If the sky could dream, it would dream of dragons" and inspiration hit me to try and incorporate it into one of my doodles.

All of this to say thanks. Thank you so much for the work you do Ilona and Gordon. Your words have given wings to my imagination and transported me to many many worlds and close to the characters I love so much.

What's the series???? *very curious*

I guess I should have told!

The series is Kate Daniels, by Ilona Andrews. The author is actually the husband and wife team of Ilona and Gordon Andrews, and I more or less recommend all their books. 

Kate Daniels is strict Urban Fantasy, with romance - magic has returned to the world, but it’s a cyclical process between tech and magic, and they don’t work at the same time. The books takes place (mostly) in post-apocaplyptic Atlanta, and the world building is wonderful and unique. Gods and myths and magic come alive - and they play with that a lot. It a shape-shifter focused series, but the main the character is not a shape shifter. 

They also have the (complete) The Edge series which is almost slip stream more than urban fantasy? Our world borders a magical world and all sort of things happen. Its a loosely connected series with strong romance. 

Then they have a paranormal/urban fantasy romance, which is stronger in romance than the Kate Daniels series, Hidden Legacy. I love that one too!

Ilona Andrews Emerald Blaze: Cover Reveal & Author Interview

https://ift.tt/35IKsaF

We have an exclusive first look at the cover for Emerald Blaze, the lastest in the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews.

What if a serum could change humanity, giving some super-human magical powers while turning others into monsters? What if it were locked away so keep everyone safe, but someone opened the box, changing and distorting humanity for their own reasons? A protector would rise to stop them: and in the newest installment of the Hidden Legacy series, that protector is Catalina Baylor, Prime Siren, Head of House Baylor, and an unstoppable force when it comes to doing what she believes is right—and protecting her family.

Emerald Blaze, the second novel in Catalina’s story arc, is due to hit shelves in August 2020, but Den of Geek got exclusive access to reveal its gorgeous cover. Check it out...

The Ilona Andrews author team—husband and wife Ilona and Gordon—gave Den of Geek some excellent insider information about how the cover came to be, and about the future of the series.

Unlike the case for most authors, for Catalina’s Hidden Legacy novels, the authors had a huge amount of input. When they negotiated the contract for the books, they requested that Gene Mollica, who did the cover for the book Iron and Magic, be the artist for all the covers. When Avon agreed, they started the process of working with Gene on the covers.

The initial cover for Sapphire Flames was completely in the wrong tone: “It was very urban fantasy. Black leather. It was a beautiful cover,” Ilona said, but it just wasn’t suited to the story. They asked to have it reshot, and Gene asked them to let him know what they wanted instead. The worked with their agent and the art team at Avon, and Gene gave them a tremendous series of shots to look through, and they got to choose their favorites.

They give feedback from everything from poses to dress color to how Catalina’s partner (and the man who broke her heart), Alessandro, holds his gun. The color of Catalina’s dress—and the magic swirls in the background—match the title’s gemstone in all the books in the series (even novella prequel, Diamond Fire, features some of the same color coding), and those choices do have some significance for the series.

But the way the theme came about was more outside of the box. The team was in New York, discussing the series with their editor, agent, and publicist, brainstorming title ideas. Since they’d already done Diamond Fire, they decided to go with gems and flames.

“I think it was written on a cocktail napkin,” Gordon joked. Savvy readers can definitely expect to see a reference in each book to the title, however: “We always have to put the title somewhere” in the book, Ilona added.

The Hidden Legacy series is on its second narrator, as Catalina became the point of view character starting with Diamond Fire, and some readers struggled to adjust to losing the viewpoint of Catalina’s older sister, Nevada, who launched the series. In Sapphire Flames, readers learn that because Nevada was overworking herself to the point of endangering her health, the Baylor family decided Catalina should become the Head of the House, removing that pressure from Nevada, but—so it appeared—ousting her from her position.

“Fans were livid,” Ilona confessed. (In our review at Den of Geek, we praised Catalina as “strikingly different” and a “fresh new voice.” Some readers have also thanked Team Andrews for writing a character who has anxiety and questions herself, rather than always being strong.) Those concerned readers may be relieved, however, to know there was more to what happened than meets the eye—there are even clues in Sapphire Flames that they might have missed—and more will be revealed in Emerald Blaze. Readers are given insight into what Nevada looks like to others, including her younger sister, who finds her a little bit scary.

“She’s older. She knows when you’re lying,” Ilona explained, which Catalina views in a far different way from Nevada herself, who thinks she’s all “sunshine and rainbows.” Changing narrators also gave the authors a chance to explore different themes. “The first arc was very much about solving murders, yes, but [it was] also politically motivated,” Ilona explained. “This one is more [about] what happens if the science goes wrong.”

Catalina’s decision to get to the bottom of the reemergence of the serum puts her back in the path of Alessandro Sagredo, whose own secrets intertwine with Catalina’s quest. Sapphire Flames left readers on a cliffhanger with Alessandro; readers got a glimpse into his perspective, revealing his true feelings for Catalina and giving the barest peek into the dangerous revenge mission that drives him.

The truth behind his back story “all comes out” in Emerald Blaze, Gordon promised—so readers can rest assured that Catalina won’t trust a man she believes toyed with her emotions without discovering his motives. As the story follows Catalina embracing her role as Head of the House, as well as the secret Deputy Warden enforcing order in the magical community, it doesn’t leave the roots of solving a murder mystery behind—the mystery just becomes more of a subplot.

Catalina’s arc will continue beyond Emerald Blaze into a third and final book, but readers who love the Hidden Legacy world are sure to hope for more books, perhaps from the perspective of another major character. On their website, the Andrews team revealed that they’d love to do a story from the perspective of Catalina’s cousin Leon; fans have also wondered if Nevada and Catalina’s younger sister, Arabella, will star in her own trilogy.

“If this goes well, and if Avon wants to continue, I really think the next three would be Arabella,” Gordon agreed. The Andrews team also shared that the personalities of Catalina and Arabella are loosely based on their own daughters. The younger daughter, on whom Arabella is based, has said to her parents, “Everybody wants me,” Gordon shared. (Ilona, quoting her daughter, continued: “The public wants what the public wants.”)

Arabella, who is “often wrong, but never in doubt,” according to Gordon, would be a totally different character to write for the authors, but would grant an entirely new lens into the world for devoted readers. Fans of Ilona Andrews, especially those who have enjoyed delving into the alternate Hidden Legacy world, are sure to hope the series will continue—and will be eagerly awaiting Emerald Blaze’s publication next summer.

In the meantime, here's the official synopsis:

Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author, continues her spellbinding series set in the Hidden Legacy world where magic controls everything…except the hearts of those who wield it.

As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers—powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control. Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart.

The nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every battle could be his last. Because Catalina won't rest until she stops the use of the illicit, power-granting serum that's tearing their world apart.

Emerald Blaze is scheduled to be released on August 25th. You can pre-order it now.

She glared at me. Well, she had guts and as much as I might have admired her courage it meant that we weren’t going to do this the nice and easy way.  Pity. “I don’t want to hurt you,” I explained. “I want the information. Forcing you gives me no pleasure.”

Mad Rogan-Burn for me

So one of my fav UF/Paranormal? authors Ilona and Gordon Andrews have this other series ,Hidden Legacy, and book 2 is coming out end of this month.The authors are so very nice and though the books are from the female protagonists pov, they often write some scenes from the male love interest’s pov and share it on thier site.This is a scene from book 1 from Rogan’s pov just published on their site and it immediately hit me with the Reylo interrogation scene feels

Here is the goodreads description ,don’t let it fool you though.The story is far more fun than the run-of-the-mill synopsis.

Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile case. Nevada isn’t sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire. Then she’s kidnapped by Connor “Mad” Rogan—a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive. Rogan’s after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she’s getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world

Novel review - Magic Triumphs

Novel review – Magic Triumphs

It’s been a while since I’ve touched on this book series. In fact it’s been a while since I’ve found the time to read any novel because of my new job. It doesn’t help that I’m falling behind on comics. But with NaNoWriMo less than a week away, reading a novel is part of my warm up. I’m glad to finally finish this series after the first entry is one of the books that helped me get back into…

Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews

As Halloween2017 neared, I was kind of bummed because I haven’t read even one fantasy book I planned to read (Gregory Maguire’s Wicked, Eliza Victoria’s Wounded Little Gods and of course, Stephen King’s Carrie, were among them) so what did I do? I READ A NEW BOOK OUT OF THE BLUE! LOL

Nah, I was actually planning to give up fantasy reading for Halloween but my good friend Chachic recommended one of her favorite books and now I am an Ilona Andrews fan!

Burn for Me is the first book in the Hidden Legacy series featuring and alternate history US where powers and magic is the norm and is embedded deep into society and culture. Nevada Baylor is a private investigator forced to track and bring home an out of control pyrokinetic (a pyromanianc, really). One of the most dangerous magical people in their world, Mad Rogan, is out to get him, too, and things get even more complicated when a hot romance blossoms between Nevada and Rogan.

This is quite different from the books I’ve been reading because it’s contemporary romance but the world building is that of a tight fantasy novel. I love that the magic was dealt with the same importance as the love parts and there was a perfect balance between them. It is also important to point out how diverse the characters are in this universe and that they had huge roles to the advancement of the plot, however small their parts were.

Nevada’s POV was fantastic, I loved knowing what went on in her head especially when it came to her relationship with her family. I especially loved her motivations for every action and the personal rules they followed in running their family business.  Nevada is such an amazing heroine!

What really got me hooked was the sexual tension between Nevada and Rogan and how their magic played in the flirting and avoiding of it all. I didn’t think a book could be so hot without, you know, the hot parts but this was indeed BURNING! The characters are also well-rounded, complementing the compelling writing making reading it so much fun! No wonder Ilona Andrews are popular, I’ve known of them even before I read this book, and now I’m set to get the other two books in the series.

5 of 5 Stars. Awesome worldbulding, awesome magic powers, awesome romance! My Halloween reads were saved at the last minute! Haha!

So two of the things I like to do to center myself are journaling (though I need to work on consistency) and turning back to House Andrews work for comfort.

They never fail to make me feel better and I have controlled some pretty bad anxiety or panic attacks by going back to their books.

One of their quotes that makes me feel most poetic is this one: "If the sky could dream, it would dream of dragons" and inspiration hit me to try and incorporate it into one of my doodles.

All of this to say thanks. Thank you so much for the work you do Ilona and Gordon. Your words have given wings to my imagination and transported me to many many worlds and close to the characters I love so much.

Ok, so these guys are writing some of my favorite urban fantasy books, and I really, really wish this interview was published in its full length, but it is a short good read. 

I could not imagine writing anything with my husband (there would definitely be more than angry dishwasher loading involved), but it is really cool it works. 

Really short, as I said, but I really loved this:

We treat sex scenes kind of the way that we treat fight scenes. Fight scenes work best when they make sense and when they’re emotional — there has to be an emotional current in the scene. Something has to change. 

Something has to change. I like that a lot. 

In any case, I recommend ALL their books :)
