Fantasy Dreamer's Ramblings

I so agree! Loved that one too! And believe me all their books are that funny and witty! One of the reasons I love these books so much!
Great review hon!
And thanks for the link!

I have both her series on the shelves but with each review read I think I'm going to start with ON THE EDGE ;)

I love to explore worlds but to have great characters to experience it with is a must and the humor an added bonus. I am creating piles of books and this one is on my UF/PNR pile. Thanks for yourr eview Donna!


My word verification; magick lol

I also really enjoyed this book though I have to say that I don't think Andrews' world-building is particularly creative compared to those of other fantasy books that I've recently read. The character development is great though, particularly with the kids.

Oh the series so great :D Well the first book lol.
And the kids were great, I can't wait to see what they come up with next

*adds to to-read list*

Donna,

Glad to know you enjoyed this one...I have it on my Christmas wish list. :)

Susi - I loved the humor, it was definitely one of the highlights in reading On the Edge. I really need to read the Magic series too.

Leontine - I think you would like this one, it'll satisfy the romance you like to see in your reading. Ha! Perfect word for this review: magick!

Simcha - The characters certainly made this novel, great personalities. Which books are you talking about? I'm curious. :)

Blodeuedd - I can't wait for the next either! 10 more months to wait though. :(

Chris - I hope you do read it!!!

Michelle - Great book! I hope Santa brings you a copy of On the Edge. :)

I'm the opposite. I've read all the Kate Daniels books but this one is still sitting in my TBR stack. Glad to see you liked it.

Thanks for a wonderful review Donna!
I am glad I have OTE on my shelves. As I am hesitant with UF I never got the Kate Daniels books despite the raving reviews and praises for Ilona Andrews' writing. When I heard about On the Edge I took the plunge because it was said to be more romance-oriented.

I liked the Edge world quite a lot and I'm curious to see where the next decides to go. :)

Donna I just finished this one, It was a great read!!!

Great concise review Donna. I really like the way you summed up your feelings about this book.

I've read so many good things about this author, I'll have to look her up soon.

Thanks for sharing.

Best

aww your first Ilona Andrews huh? I hope now you'll want to read her other series too. Ilona and Gordon are one (well two) of my favorite authors.
I have yet to be disappointed in their books. I love their humour too, i was often giggling.This is gonna be a long long wait until Bayou Moon

I've read nothing but great praise for this author and I already have their Kate Daniels series so I should really dive in. What am I waiting for? I don't know. Time maybe. *wink*

Thanks for the great review Donna. Glad you enjoyed it!

Happy Holidays, VFG

Wait til you try Kate Daniels. In a word: Awesome.

I usually like to wait till there are 3 or 4 out in a series before starting it. But every review I read is pushing me to go ahead and read it now!

Doug - I plan on reading the Kate Daniels series too. You should give On the Edge a try when you get a chance, I'm so glad I read it.

Pearl - I hope you get to read On the Edge soon, I'd love to see what you think. :)

TJ - Same here! I know the Gordons have been posting some excerpt on their blog for Bayou Moon but I've stayed away from reading them. Because I know I'll want to read the whole shebang!

KC - Yes it was. I hope to see your thoughts on it. :)

Lea - Thanks, I'm going shorter on my reviews. It's easier for me to them since I tend to be short and to the point in RL.

Caroline - Oh, yes I will be reading the Kate Daniels series. I'm trying not to think about how long until Bayou Moon...*pouts*

VFG - Funny you say that, because I had the Kate Daniels books before On the Edge but I ready it first. I think it's the time factor like you said.

Abigail - Thanks! That's what everyone keeps telling me. :)

Alterlist - Same here! But there was sooo much hype for On the Edge, I couldn't wait.

I just loved this one almost more than Kate and Curran. The world building was terrific and I loved Georgie and Jack too!

Tricia - I really need to read the Kate Daniels series, especially if their world building is just as wonderful in that series too. I'm starting to excited about reading them even more now.

I haven't read anything by her, I like the blurb of this one, but I always hesitate when it comes to UF, it is not my favorite genre. Great review!

Marissa - On the Edge was a very fun and exciting read also it's more of a Paranormal Romance than an UF read. So you might like this one. :)

I've got this one hanging out by my desk to start when I get some spare time. I really like the premise too! I'm glad to hear it played out so well. I have not read her Kate Daniels books, though my husband has read the first couple, I think.

I can't wait to read this one. I like the idea of The Edge and Rose sounds like the type of character I love.

By the way, I have an award for you.

Bree - On the Edge really was a fantastical read, I'd love to know what you think of it after you read it.

Carol - Hope you do read On the Edge. Thank you!! I'm going over now. :)
