From The Publisher:
Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author, continues her spellbinding series set in the Hidden Legacy world where magic controls everything…except the hearts of those who wield it.
As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers-powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control. Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart.
The nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every battle could be his last. Because Catalina won't rest until she stops the use of the illicit, power-granting serum that's tearing their world apart.

So so so so good, as always.
And the end... oh the end...
I read this book just after finishing the previous one, which is clearly my pattern for this series. And finally I got what I expected.
Catalina and Alessandro's relationship is finally going in the direction I was expecting. I also liked what we learned about Alessandro at the end of the book and Catalina's reaction to this information.
Alessandro seems to fit in better and better with Catalina's family. I also found his transformation very interesting. I see it as a very good thing, previously Alessandro was a bit irritating at times. I like this new, quieter and more serious Alessandro. I was very curious about his meeting with Connor, and I'm still waiting for their scene together. I think these two can work together quite well and be the source of some fun dialogue.
As always, the plot is very good. I was invested in the story the whole time.
Now I am really looking forward to the next book in this series, which will probably close this mini trilogy about Catalina and Alessandro.
My favorite in the series so far.
