It's been ages since I read a paranormal romance and actually finished it. I know some people don't like this one and while I have some things that bothers me, I also really enjoyed this read. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator wasn't awesome, but I still managed to like this book, which is saying something.
Nevada is P.I. in an alternative Huston, Texas, where people has developed magical powers after injecting a serum and now, hundreds of years later, people are born with them instead. Power houses breed for power while regular people live their lives regardless of being magic or not. In either case, magic is a natural state of life in this world. Nevada is forced by the company that owns her family's business to find and bring in a powerful fire mage - something she's not so happy about. To the rescue comes Connor "Mad" Rogan, powerful, dangerous. Or, like, first he tortures her and then they strike an agreement.
This doesn't sound like the type of relationship one should root for, given my recent reads? But this is how it's done! Nevada is a strong, independent, loving, loyal, kickass woman whom I want to throw more adjectives at, because she's just great. She handles life like a boss, even though it kicks her in the face on multiple occasions. Rogan is a huge, rich, powerful - both in magic and influence - dude who's not used to take no for an answer.
So, what I liked about this book - the premise and the backstory made me intrigued, even though I wasn't really in the loop all the time (which is my feeble brain's fault, most likely, and not the book), the characters, the type of magic people could do, the multiple layers of feelings, people and moments.
I know what I'm listening to next - White hot!
