Wildfire by Ilona Andrews

Wildfire (Hidden Legacy, #3)

by Ilona Andrews

From Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author, the thrilling conclusion to her Hidden Legacy series, as Nevada and Rogan grapple with a power beyond even their imagination...Nevada Baylor can't decide which is more frustrating-harnessing her truthseeker abilities or dealing with Connor "Mad" Rogan and their evolving relationship. Yes, the billionaire Prime is helping her navigate the complex magical world in which she's become a crucial player-and sometimes a pawn-but she also has to deal with his ex-fiancee, whose husband has disappeared, and whose damsel-in-distress act is wearing very, very thin. Rogan faces his own challenges, too, as Nevada's magical rank has made her a desirable match for other Primes. Controlling his immense powers is child's play next to controlling his conflicting emotions. And now he and Nevada are confronted by a new threat within her own family. Can they face this together? Or is their world about to go up in smoke?

Having magic isn't all it's cracked up to be...

While I still really liked Wildfire, I felt like it was missing a little bit of the gut-wrenching, heart-pounding excitement that the first two instalments had. I think my biggest problem was that Connor was being too nice...thoughtful...considerate. (THE HORROR!!) I don't mind a little bit of nice, thoughtful and considerate from my favourite heroes, but when they're normally all gruff and grumpy, it's weird. Connor even seemed to step back a bit which I didn't like one bit at all.

I understand the why of it all and to some degree, I appreciated that he wanted Nevada to be strong and independent. It's just that I wanted Nevada to be strong and independent, with Connor always at her back. Not, at the back of his ex-fiance.

Yes, I get it. Deep down, I just didn't like Connor spending so much time with his ex... who's married... to a douchewaffle.

In the end, it's all good and Nevada and Connor walk off into the sunset hand in hand, and I'm happy. It just took too long for them to get to the *I can't live without you* stage.

The storyline was it's usual captivating and engrossing and the characters, new and old, were engaging and fantastic. I loved that Leon knows his magic power now but I also hated how much it messed with his head. He's just a little kid. Arabella's magic is quite funny and I loved that everyone is petrified of it.

I will definitely be going on in the series and I can't wait to get to know Catalina a bit more. Will I be paying $6.00 for a novella? I'm not sure. While Ilona Andrews tells an engaging story, I find it hard to pay the same amount (or more) for a novella as I would for a whole story. One day...soon...ish.
