On the Edge

Well, it's official. I hereby declare my loyalty to the Ilona Andrews fan club. Those of you who follow my blog know that I loved the Kate Daniels series. Characters, plot, all of it was perfection. So of course when I ran out of those books I ran to get my hands on more Ilona Andrews goodness. I can honestly say that On The Edge totally sated my need for more. Another awesome series to get hooked on? Yes please.

As you might imagine, there are a lot of similarities between the two series. However what I loved about Rose, our heroine in this book, was that she is much more fragile than I expected. What sets Rose apart from the others in the Edge is her magical ability. Other than that she's a normal girl. Someone whose biggest concern is making sure her two younger brothers are well taken care of. I think that's what I loved most about Rose actually. She is so human, and it makes her that much easier to love.

Speaking of the Edge, Ilona Andrews has created an amazing world for Rose and her brothers to inhabit. A world that is in between. A magical world with a mix of normal people, evil beasts, and (of course) shape shifters. I have to tell you that I loved the story line that this took as well. On The Edge follows a much more romantic story line. It's almost like a fairy tale. Guy wants girl, works to gain her adoration, and cue a happy ending. Can I please have a Declan of my very own? Hot, dangerous, yum.

Ahem. Anyway as you can probably tell I wholly enjoyed On The Edge! My one qualm was that it ended much too soon, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book to find out more about the Edge and everyone in it. This is pure, delicious, urban fantasy. The kind that promises the world and follows through with that promise. Long story short? Read it. You won't be sorry.

Purchased it at a discount, didn't like it well enough to bother with the next book in the series.
