Description
From Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author, the thrilling conclusion to her Hidden Legacy series, as Nevada and Rogan grapple with a power beyond even their imagination...Nevada Baylor can't decide which is more frustrating-harnessing her truth seeker abilities or dealing with Connor "Mad" Rogan and their evolving relationship. Yes, the billionaire Prime is helping her navigate the complex magical world in which she's become a crucial player-and sometimes a pawn-but she also has to deal with his ex-fiancée, whose husband has disappeared, and whose damsel-in-distress act is wearing very, very thin. Rogan faces his own challenges, too, as Nevada's magical rank has made her a desirable match for other Primes. Controlling his immense powers is child's play next to controlling his conflicting emotions. And now he and Nevada are confronted by a new threat within her own family. Can they face this together? Or is their world about to go up in smok… (more)

In a world in which a person's social, financial and personal status is determined by the level of their magical power, Nevada Baylor is coming to terms with the fact that she is a force to be reckoned with and that the man she loves, Connor Rogan, might not be the most suitable
This series is one of the best the Urban Fantasy genre has to offer. The world building, plotting, characterization and romance are spellbinding.
Nevada and Rogan's dynamic is amazing. The intensity of their chemistry is felt not only during their intimate scenes together, but in virtually every shared encounter and conversation. Thankfully, the minor conflict involving his ex never really gains momentum and is resolved with very little angst.
The secondary characters, especially Nevada's family, are fleshed out well and add an extra layer of humor and enjoyment to the storyline. It is particularly interesting to learn of the Baylor sisters' genetic origins as well as their individual powers.
While Nevada and Rogan's relationship and the majority of events in the trilogy come to a more than satisfactory conclusion, several loose ends remain. Consequently, one can only hope that the Ilona Andrews duo has a fourth book in the works.
In sum, the Hidden Legacy books are exceedingly well written and entertaining. Highly recommended for both fans of Andrews' work and newbies to the genre as well.
All of these various plot threads twisted and intertwined in an action-packed story that I couldn't put down. Nevada is a strong, smart woman who knows what she wants out of life. She is fiercely protective of her family and those she loves. Rogan is a wonderfully tortured hero who frightens and overwhelms most people by Nevada can stand up to him. I liked the way they tried to take care of each other and especially that they were sensitive to each others' feelings and needs.
I liked learning more about what powers Nevada's younger sisters and cousins have and how they came to get them. I also liked the strong relationships in Nevada's family.
I liked the world building in this book. Both the magical powers and political maneuvering were well-developed. The ending leaves room for another book and I would love it if the author's were able to continue writing stories in this world.
This is the third book in the Hidden Legacy series which really does need to be read in order. The whole series is amazing so you won't want to miss the earlier books anyway. Nevada and Rogan have been through a lot together by the time this book starts and things have changed drastically for Nevada and her family. Nevada and her family can no longer stay hidden so they must decide how to safely move forward. Their agency has taken on a case for Rogan's ex, Rynda. Rynda's husband is missing and nobody seems to want to look for him.
As we have come to expect, Nevada and Rogan will work together through some pretty tense situations in this novel. The action gets pretty intense and is really quite exciting to read. This book is so much more than a romance story but the romance is really well done. Nevada and Rogan belong with each other. I love every time they are on the page with each other. Their chemistry is off the charts and their banter is a lot of fun. Add a few magical elements into the mix and you have a story you can't quit thinking about.
The secondary characters are so well done. I think that every character in this series has something to add to the story. Nevada's family are so much fun and their feelings for each other are really genuine. Rogan's people are loyal and a force on their own. Cornelius and Matilda have almost become an extended part of the Baylor family and I really like the perspective that Cornelius brings to the agency. There is even a pacifist Kodiak bear and a blue tiger that is literally out of this world.
I highly recommend this series to everyone. I love the world that the writing pair of Ilona Andrews has crafted in this series and am in awe at the characters that live in that world. I will keep my fingers crossed that there might eventually be a few more novels in this wonderful series.
I received an advanced reader edition of this book from Avon Books via Edelweiss.
There is just so much to like with this series--the world is imaginative, the story is a great blend of mystery and action, and the characters are awesome. The relationships are great--not only Nevada and Ronan, but also Nevada and her whole family, Nevada and Cornelius--I could go on and on. The threads of humor that hold it all together (I love, love, love the giant, especially bred-for-war, pacifist bear Sgt. Teddy!) make this one series I'm going to go back to read again and again.
Wildfire has been touted as the final book in the trilogy, but there's definitely room for continuation with that ending. Fingers crossed that there is more to come, because I still have questions (and want to see more of...well, pretty much everyone!)
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Oh well -the fact is there was a lot crammed into this book and I loved every minute of it. I adore Cornelius and his daughter, the new tiger/dog, finding out what exactly Arabella and Catalina can do. And my I say wow! Leon? Nevada's father-yikes! And, well, her Grandmother (you know, the OTHER one!)
There is just too much in this series, and particularly this book that I love that I can't list them all here.
This was a wonderfully complex read, sometimes difficult to keep all of the character's straight but well worth the effort. I love how everyone grew and took responsibility for themselves and what they can do. I really love how Conner is somewhat tamed by the love of a good woman (cliched, I know, but perfect for this type of character and what he has gone through).
This is a trilogy that I have been reading often and is now going to be shelved on my
'comfort read' shelf.

My feelings are a tangled mess. It was brilliant, full of surprises… another masterpiece by the Queen of Urban Fantasy. And now… it’s over? Forever?
At first, things appear to be going well for Nevada and Connor. She’s finally recognizing her magical capabilities, the Baylor family business is continuing to grow, and our delightful power couple is closer to happily ever after than ever before… That is, until Connor’s old flame shows up. And as per usual for the Baylors, when it rains, it pours.
Rynda Sherwood’s husband is missing and she needs Nevada’s help. She’s also Connor’s ex-fiance and has decided she can’t survive without him. *rolls eyes* And if the situation wasn’t ridiculous enough, our kick ass couple with the shady Prime organization out to destabilize the Houston power base.
Yet again.
Oh, and Victoria Tremaine, the Baylor’s scary unwanted grandmother just will not take no for an answer.
So yeah. Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot going on in this novel. Andrews has always flourished with complex plot lines and a large cast of loveable characters. WILDFIRE delivers kick ass crime fighting, humor in the darkest of moments, and enough sexual tension to feast your eyes on…AND FINALLY THE HIDDEN LEGACY IS REVEALED. Boy was it a shocker!
While I am overjoyed with WILDFIRE, I’m having a hard time parting ways. Andrews has me puzzled. Is the Hidden Legacy series over? Does it end here? Will there be more Baylor family adventures? These cliffhanger epilogues (oxymoron much?) are becoming a signature of Andrews will be the death of me. All I can say is WILDFIRE has left me hankering for a fourth Hidden Legacy novel and I have no idea if our UF Queen plans to offer us more.
If you haven’t started this series or read Ilona Andrews, seriously, what are you waiting for? Then you can join me in pleading for more from the Hidden Legacy!
Wildfire is the third book in the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews. This was one wild ride! It's 400 pages of action, mystery, crazy magical abilities, more layering of the world building, memorable characters and a hefty dose of romance. And I loved every minute of it.
These characters are just so much fun. Both main characters, Nevada and Rogan, are very well crafted. By this point we understand their motivations behind most of their actions. The whole ex-fiancee thing can be a sticky subject to attempt and I think it's handled very well.
The world building continues as even more powers are explored. We're given some origins into the powers themselves and a little bit behind how the powers are passed from generation to generation, really emphasizing why it's so important for Primes to be genetically compatible. It's fascinating. Also great is watching the conspiracy between Houses unfold layer by layer.
As before, this book plants its feet firmly on the romance side of urban fantasy with a couple of explicit sex scenes. They are very steamy and well written. And I'm not normally a romance fan!
That was a satisfying end to Nevada's trilogy. I was excited to read that the author plans to continue the series from Catalina's point of view as the very end of the epilogue left a nice hook. Can't wait to see what they come up with.
I can’t wait for the Catolina novels
Progress is finally being made towards Nevada's family having their own house. I also like that Rogan and Nevada have
There are a lot of interesting politics going on in here with more talk of a big conspiracy that will hopefully develop more in future books. There are also a lot of excellent action scenes that are well written. I think my only disappointment was that the trials Nevada and family had to undergo to become a House ended up being very rushed, trivial, and kind of squeezed in right at the end. I was hoping this was going to be a bigger part of the story.
I continue to enjoy the characters and am finally starting to enjoy the world as well (if took me awhile to warm up to this world...I just don't think it's quite as interesting as worlds in other Andrews' series).
Overall this was the best book in this series yet. I am really loving some of the plot developments that are happening and continue to enjoy the characters. I am also slowly warming up to this world. I would definitely recommend to fans of action-packed urban fantasy.
Also review being held until two weeks prior to publication per publisher request.
Edited to add the review since we are closer to the pub date.
Wildfire starts right after the previous book with Rogan’s former
By the end of the book you find out about her sister’s powers and why her father ran from his mother. The ending of the book written in such a way that there can be more books and you are left with wanting more stories set in this universe.

Mad Rogan AKA Connor and Nevada Baylor are in my top of perfectly matched couples list. The
The villains turned out to not be my most hated characters. That was a client. A back stabbing I'm going to steal your man while using you type of woman. Her picture is on my imaginary dart board and I hit a bullseye- bam.
I adore the new creatures, people and powers, each fits so well into the world and builds up the story for future books. Oh Andrews can you hear my chanting "write, write, write, write..." So, there is a new creature that won my heart, it is amazing and rides well in the back of a truck. See where I'm going with this ? I drive a truck !
I already make apple pies regularly thanks to the Andrews now I'll be making chocolate mouse too.
Rumors are that the publisher may not pick up more in this series, are they stupid ? Best seller top of the charts and extreme fan base ? hello wake up
Nevada is still trying to keep her family safe while trying to keep secrets
I love, love, love the chemistry between Rogan and Nevada. They are both so strong and stubborn, but they love each other so much. They are determined to make it work no matter what.
I love Ilona Andrews and this is no exception. I know that they only contracted for 3 books, but I really hope that there is enough popularity for another book.
Of course, there would have to be a fourth book
There's a lot going on in this book - it's action packed and there are revelations galore, including finding out what Arabella actually is. But even though it's a neck-and-neck race, I think I liked the second book better (White Hot). The narrative felt smoother, more coherent. Wildfire was just... chaotic. Fun, highly entertaining chaos, but chaos. And I really didn't like all that nonsense with Rynda, and I'm not convinced it was in any way necessary. But I loved Zeus. I'd have liked to have seen a lot more Zeus - and (Sergeant?) Teddy. But mostly Zeus.
Here's hoping Avon will wake up and smell the coffee and a fourth book is just around the corner.
The relationship tensions continue, and are resolved/dealt with/exploded
Loved it. What happens next?

A private kidnapping investigation leads to wizard warfare.
B (Good).
The series keeps getting better, building on the fantasy stuff and all but sidelining the forced conflict of Bad Romance Tropes. The series is too military-obsessed for me to ever
(Feb. 2023)
I hope this series continues, there is a lot more story left!
Thank goodness they are prolific.
I understood that this would be a trilogy but the ending sets it up perfectly for more in the series. I enjoyed this book a lot but couldn't help seeing the similarities in the personalities of Nevada and Conner and Kate and Currin. I didn't mind it but they do
