This is where the romance comes into the story. Nevada and Rogan have very combatative and tumultuous type of relationship. He respects Nevada’s strengths and doesn’t hesitate to trust her to do what she does best. However, he is not so alpha male that he is blind to the abilities of those around him.
He has got this “more powerful than god” type of magic going on and is definitely alpha male.
Mad Rogan was another intriguing character. Her grandma is a crazy mechanic of sorts, her mother is a tough as nails war-vet, and her brother is a super computer genius. She is in a tough situation trying to provide for some younger siblings and dealing with her disabled mother. She has worked hard not to develop her magic any further since she doesn’t want to become a tool for the military or government to use in questioning people. Nevada is a passive truthseeker, which means she can passively tell if someone is lying or not. We are only introduced to some of the variations in magic ability in this book. Many of these magic powers breed stronger with each generation, but some of them die out. There is an interesting new magic system as well. This means that the powerful have been divided into Families with magical abilities and the Families do whatever they have to to keep this power. There is some excellent back story here as we learn how people got these crazy magical abilities through the Osiris vaccine. This was a very well done urban fantasy/paranormal romance novel. Then Nevada is kidnapped by the crazy dangerous Conner “Mad” Rogan, despite a tumultuous meeting Nevada realizes that working with Mad Rogan might be the only to accomplish her mission and come out alive. Adam is a Prime of the pyrokinetic kind, Primes are incredibly powerful magic users and Adam has gone rogue. Their agency is owned by a parent agency that blackmails Nevada into taking case in which she has to hunt down and bring back Adam Price. Nevada is working as an investigator and just barely keeping her family afloat.
This was a very well done book, with an excellent new magic system and world and very engaging characters. I love their Kate Daniels series and also really enjoyed The Edge series. I got a copy of this book to review through the Amazon Vine program (and I was super excited to get it). This is the first book in the Hidden Legacy series by husband and wife writing team Ilona Andrews. Stand Alone or Series: 1st book in the Hidden Legacy series
