By: Ilona Andrews

Narrated by: Julian Dailey, LaMont Ridgell, Marissa Clay, Wyn Delano, Eva Wilhelm, Zura Johnson, Peter Stanley, Henry W. Kramer, Ian Putnam, Nanette Savard, Ryan Haugen, full cast

In this spellbinding first dramatized audiobook in #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews’ urban fantasy Hidden Legacy series, private detective Nevada Baylor navigates her way through an alternate world where dynasties, built on inherited wealth and magic, guide the course of humanity.

Nevada Baylor runs a small-time detective agency in Houston, Texas, busting scammers, exposing cheaters, and dealing with petty criminals. She’s very good at her job–helped by a magical ability to sense when someone tells the truth or lies. But when she’s forced into accepting a case to find a radical pyrotechnic who can conjure heat and fire at will, Nevada knows she’s out of her league. To bring him to justice, she’ll have to join forces with someone who wields an even more dangerous power.

Connor “Mad” Rogan is a former combat mage, a telekinetic singularly responsible for mass destruction in war-torn countries, and a member of one of the most powerful magic families in the world. His nephew has been kidnapped by the fugitive pyromaniac, and Nevada is his best chance at finding them both. But unlike Nevada, Connor could care less about societal law and order, and has no qualms about extinguishing his family’s enemy.

Bound by their mission, Nevada and Connor clash over their tactics and moral beliefs, even as things undeniably heat up between them. But the man they’re chasing is involved in a darker conspiracy that threatens to destroy the city–and destabilize the balance of power the elite magical families use to influence every nation on Earth.

Fair Production, Poor Narration

I was so looking forward to the graphic audio version of this book so I had it preordered. I loved the standard version because Renee Raudman did a great job with narration, but her voice for Rogan sounded a little too old for me. So I was looking forward to an actual male voice for Rogan from Graphic Audio. This production is okay, both main narrators have good voices, but the main female narrator is trying way too hard, she talks like she's singing or in a high school drama club, and it gets cringy at times. The male narrator on the other hand doesn't get Rogan's emotion right. Everyone sounds amateur. Overall it felt like the production team didn't treat it as seriously as the Kate Daniels series. I rarely regret buying an audiobook due to poor narration, because usually the narrators adds to the story, but this is the case where the audiobook actually damages the story...

Strong woman.

I loved her determination to do what was hardest. I love Graphic Audio. I can't wait for the next one.

As always, great story...

I was a bit disappointed with this narration, I felt it lacking in sounds, this word has a lot of potential for this kind of narration to go a bit wild, they didn't deliver. The all Prime voice in Neva wasn't as "punchY" as I expected. Is inevitable to compare previous narrations and narrators and their interpretations. Also MR sounded way to young, great voice just the wrong one imo. I did liked the lady that played Neva. Really fit her. Cornelius voice actor would have been great as a MR now that I think about it...hmm.

Anyway, as always, great story. Ilona Andrews make everything engaging and memorable.

Love this series and Author(s)

I have re-read this book several times. When it came out from Graphic Audio, I was 'heck yeah! I am in'.
Narration - Its a movie in your mind. I love Graphic Audio. I thought the lead voices fit what I had in minds for them
Story - I love this series,

Really good dramatization

This story was better than I anticipated and I loved the growing relationship. The idea of the powers was so different than most stories, I found that intriguing. I am almost finished with the second book and will wait for the others to come out on dramatized adaptation.
