The mystery element is not especially mysterious. This book is fun and incredibly fast-paced. Of course, Alessandro ends up also being involved in the investigation and so Catalina has to manage her feelings as well as the various threats to her and the Baylor family’s well-being that come with her dangerous job. Now, in her capacity as Deputy Warden of Texas, she gets called in to investigate a murder with four Prime suspects (pun intended) who were working on a land development project together in The Pit, the magical swamp that featured heavily in the first trilogy. In the second installment of Catalina’s trilogy, six months have passed since Alessandro broke her heart by peacing out just as she was going to confess her love to him. I truly enjoyed every moment of the reading experience, which is more than I can say for many, many books. Emerald Blaze gives us everything we expect from an Andrews book: a competent heroine facing an unusual supernatural threat, an alpha-esque love interest with whom she has scorching chemistry, a great secondary cast, exciting action, strong world-building and sense of place, and jokes on jokes on jokes.
If you are an Ilona Andrews fan (and if you aren’t, why not?) I have good news for you.
