by Ilona Andrews
The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is a fairy tale—and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny…
Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come, a blueblood straight out of the Weird. But even though she possesses rare magical healing abilities, her life has brought her nothing but pain. After her marriage crumbles, she flees to the Edge to build a new home for herself. Until Richard Mar is brought to her for treatment, and Charlotte’s life is turned upside down once again.
Richard is a swordsman without peer, future head of his large and rambunctious Edger clan—and he’s on a clandestine quest to wipe out slavers trafficking humans in the Weird. So when his presence leads his very dangerous enemies to Charlotte, she vows to help Richard destroy them. The slavers’ operation, however, goes deeper than Richard knows, and even working together, Charlotte and Richard may not survive...

This last book in \"The Edge\" series was, in a word, wonderful. Five stars no doubt. Very well written, exciting plot, romantic and just plain excellent. As usual when it comes to this series and these authors, I read the book in one sitting. I thought the book was just as good as the three that came before it and yet was truly different in its own right. I loved how so many loose ends from the arc of the total series were tied up dramatically at the end, and yet fit into the tight plot of...

Although I have made numerous attempts to become a beta reader for these two I keep getting thwarted at every turn so while I wish I could start out this review by saying, \"I was provided with an ARC copy for an honest review,\" alas I can't say that. But I can say that I bought this book the day it came out and I have been waiting anxiously (note I did not say patiently) for eons and eons (does 364 days count as \"eons and eons\"?) This is the last book in this series although I strongly...

I may have a vague spoiler or two in here but I'll keep it vague and I'll mark it. This was a genuinely fun read- absolutely worth your time and money. I think the Andrews writing team is pretty spectacular, even their so-so books are way above average, so my \"issues\" may have been personal preferences and may not detract from your own reading enjoyment. The good: The plot was pretty busy. They had a lot of action but the book takes its time to fully introduce the main characters, their...

I read a few reviews before purchasing this book, and was expecting something that did not meet the level of the previous Edge novels. I was extremely surprised, and happy, that this was not true! If you have not read the previous Edge novels, I suggest you do, as a lot of previous characters take part in this story. It makes the series all the more enjoyable as each novel focuses on a different set of characters, yet brings back old favorites so you can see what is going on with old friends....

Of all the authors I've read in the past and currently follow, none surpass the sheer brilliance that is Ilona Andrews. The work put out by this literary duo is pure gold -- it's almost like they have novel-writing superpowers or something. Without exaggeration, this series is awesome. For one thing, there's my girly side thrilled by a successful blending of fantasy and romance -- something I've often searched for and rarely found. Then there's the flashes of humor that always came flying in...
