3.5 stars This is book four in an ongoing series. It is not the place to start. This review will contain mild spoilers for things that happened in previous books.

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is book 8 in the series, and some really big stuff happened in the last book. Seriously, if you haven’t read Magic Breaks yet, there will be spoilers, so return once you’re caught up. If you haven’t read any Ilona Andrews books yet, you should do your very best to change that as soon as possible. They write among the best paranormal books out there, you won’t be sorry. After a period of adjustment after the confrontation in the previous […]
