Letter To The Readers

September 2, 2014 by Ilona 154 Comments

I feel like we’ve been building toward this idea for a really long time.

It began years ago with a short story called Of Swine and Roses.  It’s a story of girl from a world where magic is a normal, every-day thing and her disastrous date.  There was something oddly compelling about the worldbuilding we did for that short.  Magic exists in the world, magic is hereditary, and family business often revolves around the family magic.  Imagine that you a pyrokinetic, a fire mage who can create heat and flame out of nothing.  Let’s say you become a glass maker.  You’re able to precisely apply just enough of the right kind of heat to create beautiful glass pieces.  Your children are pyrokinetics too.  Perhaps they follow in your footsteps or perhaps they choose to go into metallurgy or enlist in military forces and become a combat operative.

It’s such a simple idea but it allows for so much flexibility and conflict.  It lends itself to a vibrant, fresh world.

We left the story alone and moved on to other ideas.  Then came the world of Kinsmen, two science fiction stories that combined romance and enhanced human beings.  They lived on a different planet and their families ran it, the way mafia families had once ran New York.

Now we finally come to BURN FOR ME.  It grew out of those previous stories and we can’t wait to share it with you.  It’s a story of a woman who exists in a world very much like our own, except this world revolves around Houses, magic dynasties.  They own corporations, they dominate politics, and they feud to each other.  It’s a story of over the top adventure, flashy magic, and unlikely romance between Nevada Baylor, who knows when people lie to her and Mad Rogan, the billionaire-mage who wields almost god-like power.

It’s funny and and romantic and it was so much fun to write.  We’re thrilled to work with Avon on it and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

        I love everything these guys write. I get mad when they pause writing one series because I want to see what happens next…then I get hooked on whatever new idea they come up with and I’m distressed when they switch back to the first series I wanted them to continue!

    I came across a coupon for Samhain but instead of taking the savings and running, I looked for more books to buy. One of those free books was Silent Blade – Kinsmen #1. I just read it last night.. and re-read it. And then re-read the ending this morning. And now have tracked down and purchased the 2nd Kinsmen book which I’ll be reading it tomorrow (or maybe I’ll just look at the first chapter tonight, yeah, I’ll stop before 1am).
    Needless to say, your new book is on my “buy when it comes out list”.

    I loved the book and am reading it for the second time. I read too fast the first time through trying to get to the end and missed some details. I loved the first cover better, much more in line with the story. The one they published looks too much like a Harliquin story and would have turned me off if I didn’t know the authors. Thanks for another great storyline!

    I put off buying this new book because Kenyon commented and that with the title and picture made me think it was a book going down the downward spiral like Kenyon and Moning have gone with their writing…explicit sex with same o plot development. I quit buying their books when everything became to explicit and S&M. But I broke down and took the chance and I enjoyed your new book and well developed plotting. I loved the Edge(and miss it) and Daniels series so much and am glad to see you continue with wonderful stories like your Inn Keeper stories and now the Hidden Legacy series. I look forward to the next book of each series and will surely buy them. (:

    This is going to be an amazing series. I’m going to have a hard time deciding which is my new favorite. Clean Sweep or Hidden Legacy. Tough choice, but I think it’s going to be Hidden Legacy. I cannot wait for next one. I absolutely love the concept. The character Nevada reminds me a lot of Kate Daniels.
    The only thing that bothered me was a tiny design flaw-the dots used as ellipses. I wish the designer would have used ellipses, or periods with non-breaking spaces so the book didn’t end up with a dot on a line all by itself. Those made me wince a little. Please have them do your words justice when they design the next ebook.
    More Mad Rogan please.

The characters were real, the plot seems flaw free, and there is a potential for character and plot development. I loved the characters, the flow, and the story (but I really didn’t like the cover art). I hope that my impression that you two are really finding your grove is accurate, because I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the continuation of Nevada’s viewpoint, this universe and this story. Great job, thanks so much.

    I just finished Burn for Me and can’t wait for the next in the series. I think Mad is a product of his genetics and upbringing, and isn’t nearly as unfeeling as he is being painted. Nevada will save him and support him just like she does with the rest of her family. How long it will take is the question.

After seeing the two previous comments about pre orders being cancelled by amazon of the next book in the series I am a bit concerned I won’t get to read what happens to the wonderful characters you have created I hope it’s only a minor problem or delay.

    Just loved the story and the concept behind it! I wasn’t aware at the time of purchase that it was a new set, I can’t stand waiting for the story to continue, even worse it seems the next book was cancelled. I hope what ever is wrong works itself out, it would be a terrible shame for a great story with so much potential to go unfinished. Thanks for such an entertaining read, my fingers are crossed that it’s not the last.

    I read Of Swine and Roses and Grace of Small Magics and fell in love with this world. I was so excited when a friend told me about Burn For Me. It’s such a great story with action and humor (my husband thinks I’m crazy because I kept laughing out load while reading it.) I love Nevada and Rogan’s story and am looking forward to White Hot coming out. Thank you for creating this world for us to read!

    OMG-I am a Kate Daniels diehard fan since 2010. I have re-read all thier stores at least 3 times. Of Swine and Roses is the cutest story ever. I laughed so hard when she came in the house at dinner time with the pig. Mad Rogan and Nevada this is just caught me and I couldn’t stop reading until I finished the book. The characters were great and the author’s trademark humor just made the book a joy to read. I am waiting on Magic Rises and White Hot.

    I just finished BFM and I have to say, I absolutely could not put it down. I don’t find many books like that (and I read A LOT). The action was great with just enough sexual attraction to keep it interesting but not so much that that was all it was about. I really loved the characters (even the bad guys). When I was reading this book I felt like I was there, seeing what they were seeing, doing what they were doing. I love that feeling in a story. I really hope there is another in this series and I can’t wait to read it.

    This book read well–you’re a great storyteller. But the hero was a complete loser. There’s going to have to be a major turnaround in the next one to explain his extremely poor behavior. Alpha males are all very well, but he was an a-hole.

    BFR is the first Ilona book I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. The characters are interesting and I loved Nevada. She’s kick ass and stays that way, working with Rogan as a partner in truth and not just name. I also liked that she stuck to her guns/beliefs and didn’t give in to Rogan. As for Mad Rogan, (lol, I must admit I think of the movie Willow and Mad Martigan 🙂 I like the hints of humanity we see. I don’t like the idea of him reforming/changing solely for Nevada so I hope the second book explores his point of view more and we see him tapping into his innate goodness because he wants to, not because he thinks it’ll get him the girl. The only thing that struck me as off in the novel was the mom performing CPR on the grandma after she detects a pulse. Artificial respirations yes but I wouldn’t think full CPR? Anyway I’m looking forward to Oct/Nov for the next installment and also to reading the Kate Daniels series.

    This comment is for all the last few comments with questions about White Hot release date, as it appears they have not updated the site FAQ yet.

    http://www.ilona-andrews.com/blog/2015/11/03/white-hot-release-date/

    I stalk the blog almost everyday, but many of you might have missed it. To summarize, book 2 is done and turned it, but was done late. Avon (the publisher) liked how well the first book did and want to really market the series so they are going to do a relaunch in 2017 with all three books coming about a month apart. So sad news is waiting for books, but good news is we will get them back to back and it should be good for the Ilona Andrews team.

    I love ALL your books and am collecting everything I can in one form or another, but some stories seem to vanish into the ether e.g. one of my favorites is ‘ A Mere Formality’ which I downloaded and have reread so often my pages are falling apart. Why don’t you collect up all the odd ball tales that have escaped and give us a nice big volume of undefinables.
    At last I have found out why my frustration level with White Hot is so high and if I go and drop dead before it and its mate is finally published , I will come back and haunt you with cold drips of water in the middle of the night.

It’s very hard to find writers of his caliber and others, such Silverberg, Clark, Zenna Henderson, Frederic Brown, Sturgeon, and more currently, Lackey, Hobb, McCaffreys, Anne and Todd, Weber Lindskold, et al., you two are right up there with them all. I have read most of your different series, Kate Daniels, The Edge, the Magic etc. series. My latest was the “Clean Sweep” series. I am had not yet had the pleasure of the Kinsmen and Hidden series, but I’m about to do that and I’m looking forward to it with a great deal of anticipatory relish. Never stop.

    I would also love to see more books and stories in this unique world. One of my problems with paranormal suspense (and even romance) is that it can often feel cold. But your world is warm and full of intriguing, real people I want to know more about. (And I’m not sure I could get enough of how the lives of Connor and Nevada play out 🙂 )

    The story isn’t finished. More Please (said with my husband’s best Oliver Twist face).

    I’ve read your Kate Daniels books a few years ago. Did not read the last few, am downloading them now. I also read your edge books and Inn keeper books am looking in anticipation of your next books in each series. But, I can’t find any mention of you writing any more legacy books. It is obvious that the series is not complete from the last page. Can you please say something about if more legacy books will be forthcoming.

    These are my favorite! (as well as the Innkeeper series). I’ve read the kinsmen books also more than once as well.
    Thank you for writing them and I can’t wait until the next one!
