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 truth seeker 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-fiancée, 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? AMAZON LINK

Love this series and the Baylor family. And this story was another good addition. It was so good I hardly know where to start. I don't know where the authors get their ideas from but wow. Wow, to the world building, the depth of the characters, the depth of the plots and evil doers and also the created creatures and magic.
There are several issues going on in this story which kept me involved without overwhelming me. I really enjoyed the relationship between Rogan and Nevada. Also the fact that Rogan is trying to help Nevada make her own free choices without trying to pressure her into doing everything his way. He's protecting her freedom of choice even if it's almost killing him. His real desire to protect her all wrapped up, safe and sound far from anything that could hurt her. To say that their romance was a strong one is putting it mildly. Sure, they also butted heads but at the end of the day, it was them having each other's backs. And any other part of each other's body.
Victoria Tremaine is one of the Baylor's grandmother's and she is a Truthseeker just like Nevada. She's also causing a major, dangerous threat to the family. By trying to force her and her family to be part of House Tremaine she's pushed Nevada into a different path. Even though Nevada hasn't wanted to register to establish a House Baylor, and be it's Head of House but there really isn't any other choice. There are risks if they register and go through the Trials but there are plenty of risks if they don't.
The Baylor family has a moral code for their family business. Something that their father had run things by and it continues to this day. A moral code of sorts that they applied in their business. Victoria was ruthless without seeming to have any moral code at all. The three rules were:#1 When someone became a client, they stayed loyal to that client. #2 They try not to be anything illegal. And #3 At the end of the day they have to be able to look their reflection in the eye.
If you're looking for a story with a lot of action and surprises, this book has it. Looking for a story with strong, interesting characters? This book has it. Along with strong female people as well? Yes, well except for Rogan's ex-fiancee. Time for her to develop a backbone and Nevada is all in when it comes to helping her with that. Looking for a story that has a strong family connections? Yes, again.
By the time some of the Baylor family finally make it to the Trials, they had been through so much that it was ALMOST a cakewalk. It was a surprise though that even there, a twist or two is waiting.
I liked how the story ended although it left one more plot that hasn't finished and a villain or two that needs to be exposed and overcome. Yay, that's okay with me because it's an opening for another story. I can hardly wait.
