Everyone who encounters the artifact is brutally murdered. The mysterious dealer of artifacts was not exactly unespected. Nicholas Feldman has undergone some changes too. What has happened to him now? It’s no surprise Ascanio is still an ass. I was happy to see Conlan and Christopher. I enjoyed everything from learning about Julie’s growth and changes to seeing many beloved characters again. She’s also spent a lot of time with Erra developing her skills.

It seems appropriate for her to become close with “Uncle Hugh” since he lost his tie to Roland and felt something similar. I didn’t really consider it before, but we find out what happened to her when Kate “died.” They shared a blood connection so she felt that loss.

I loved learning what happened to Julie after she left Atlanta. Julie has become Aurelia Ryder and is visiting Atlanta for the first time since she left. (Added – I did not read Robin’s review until I had written mine) The Aurelia Ryder series is a spin-off from the Kate Daniels series, almost a decade into the future. I was ecstatic to get an ARC to review it because Ilona Andrews is my favorite author. I pre-ordered Blood Heir on July 17, 2020. But for Aurelia, facing disaster is easy it’s relationships that are hard. One small misstep could lead to disaster. She expected danger, but she never anticipated that the only man she'd ever loved could threaten everything. So her plan is simple: get in, solve the murders, prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, and get out without being recognized.

If Aurelia’s true identity is discovered, those closest to her will die. An ancient power is stalking her adopted mother, Kate Daniels, an enemy unlike any other, and a string of horrifying murders is its opening gambit. Now she’s back with a new face, a new magic, and a new name-Aurelia Ryder-drawn by the urgent need to protect the family she left behind. Now, as waves of magic and technology compete for supremacy, it’s a place caught in a slow apocalypse, where monsters spawn among the crumbling skyscrapers and supernatural factions struggle for power and survival.Įight years ago, Julie Lennart left Atlanta to find out who she was.
