Review
I can't harp on how much I loved this book. This is the first book by Ilona Andrews that I've read but it will not be the first or the last. Amazing world building doesn't really describe the easy word flow and scenery of this husband and wife duo. You live it, you breath it and you become part of this world that they have built. When I say that you can all but smell it, I'm not kidding. I was tellaported into the Andrea/Kate Daniels world. Now that's a cool ride!
Andrea was kick ass, and even though at first she didn't want to embrace her true Bouda nature, I loved it when she did. Ever here of the phase "Go Big or Go Home"? Well that is the Bouda that comes out of Andrea and once released she's not looking back or hesitating.
This to me is a true UF book and though there was a small amount of romance in it, our H/H moments were perfect and only added to the story.
Yes read this book and enjoy every moment of this rip roaring fun ride. I loved it and I'm sure that you will too.
