Shelves: urban-fantasy

3.5 stars. Catalina's 'voice' is the same as Nevada's. Her youth meant that I didn't buy her as a powerful head of house taking on all comers. That blink and you'll miss it explanation about why Nevada was no longer head of Baylor Investigations was lame. No real explanation as to why Alessandro was in love with her. Otherwise entertaining but once I got over the excitement of a new IA release, the flaws in the story became more apparent. ...more

It is 3 years later and Catalina in now head of House Baylor, they are about to lose the protection given to newly formed houses and she has to decide whether or not to help Runa.

What I enjoyed:
* I love the Baylors, so I'm always happy to read more. I actually wish the rest of the family had been a bit more involved in this story.
* Catalina is learning to ropes and keeping to their rules when she agrees to help Runa find out who killed her mother and sister. Which of course unravels into a much ...more

I was swimming through the warm water of the Gulf when someone knocked on the sky.

Catalina Baylor is awakened in the middle of the night to rescue a suicidal prime. Being the head of the Baylor House is a tremendous task for a 21 year old. She discovers that another house has been attacked, leaving two burned bodies. The surviving children become clients of Baylor investigations.

Wow! Ilona Andrews never disappoints. I wasn't sure where the story would go without Nevada and my favorite bad boy, C ...more

Don't get me wrong, I love Nevada but one of my frequent complaints throughout the first three books was that she didn't trust/use her family's strengths to the best of their abilities. I'm so glad that the Andrews' finally picked up on this because Catalina is just what House Baylor needs. I am really looking forward to seeing how she evolves under the pressure/tutelage of the two major deals she made during this book.

A few things:
