And although Nevada was hired to stop an arsonist from going on a murderous rampage, something else is going on underneath, and she will definitely need Mad Rogan’s help to stop it. Quite possibly the world’s most powerful Prime, Mad Rogan may be a bit insane, but he is willing to work with Nevada to bring in Pierce, so he can get his cousin out of trouble. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) Connor Rogan, also known as Mad Rogan, has also been asked by his family to look into the matter (apparently a cousin has gotten himself mixed up with Pierce). Now Nevada is left with no choice but to agree to a suicide mission – bring in (alive) Adam Pierce, a firestarter with incredible power. After her father was diagnosed with cancer, her family mortgaged everything, their home and their business, to get him treatment, but were left owing their basic survival to Montgomery International Investigations, owned by one of the powerful aristocratic houses. Nevada Baylor is in more than a bit of a pickle.
Fast forward 150-ish years, and you have the almost dystopian world of a magical Houston found in Andrews’ new Hidden Legacy series. The unlocked magical abilities were passed down within the families, creating an extremely insular community of power and powers.
Originally given to soldiers, it wasn’t long before the aristocracy bought their way into the ranks. For some quick background, in 1863, scientists discovered a serum that unlocked special powers in human beings. A combination of urban fantasy, alternate history, and paranormal romance (minus the werewolves or vampires), Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews marks the first in a new series following an in-debt private investigator attempting to negotiate a world where her targets possess magical powers.
