Sapphire Flames (Hidden Legacy, #4)

by Ilona Andrews

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes an enthralling new trilogy set in the Hidden Legacy world, where magic means power, and family bloodlines are the new currency of society…

In a world where magic is the key to power and wealth, Catalina Baylor is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, and the Head of her House. Catalina has always been afraid to use her unique powers, but when her friend’s mother and sister are murdered, Catalina risks her reputation and safety to unravel the mystery.

But behind the scenes powerful forces are at work, and one of them is Alessandro Sagredo, the Italian Prime who was once Catalina’s teenage crush. Dangerous and unpredictable, Alessandro’s true motives are unclear, but he’s drawn to Catalina like a moth to a flame.

To help her friend, Catalina must test the limits of her extraordinary powers, but doing so may cost her both her House–and her heart.

Wow. I had some predictions going in to the book (based on Nevada's trilogy and the three chapter sample), and while some were correct, Grandma Frida drove one of her tanks over the rest of my expectations. The last chunk of the book had me biting my nails, and there's new plot threads that I cannot wait to see where they lead. That's pretty much all I can really say without going into mad spoilers!

As for the characters, Catalina is AMAZING, Alessandro is a badass, and Grandma Frida continues to rock. Lots of cameos from old friends (including one "close family friend"
