So this is the thirdish story set in this universe and I have to say you can tell the authors leveled up between this and the previous installments. Silent Blade holds a special place in my heart but this is probably the best of the bunch. I love a good rivals forced to work together story and this one delivers.

I thought this was the first book but it‘s the second, but it didn‘t slow me down any. It‘s action-filled space opera (?) romance and it reads like most IA - enjoyable. Not my favorite book ever but still good.

Ramona and Matias are rivals who find themselves thrown together to save their family businesses from their cheating spouses. Forced to work together, they turn out to be perfectly matched.

Set in the Kinsmen universe, though I haven't read any of them and jumped into this as a standalone, I really enjoyed it.

The story is told in third person dual, which I'm beginning to get used to in books, and the plot was an action packed filled adventure. I really liked the world building too, it was complex and descriptive. I really enjoyed the whole deadly Romeo and Juliet vibe and their romance. The ending had a nice, ironic HEA.

This was a fun quick Sci-fi read. Ilona Andrews is a favorite and this is no exception. It is part of a series but does work as a standalone. Also, this cover is so pretty!! 4⭐️

I finished these two. The 1st is a novella/short story collection and the 2nd is an ARC. They both take place in the same science fiction world. The Kinsmen are humans with advanced powers. Great worldbuilding and characters. I liked Fated Blades a little more just because it was novel length and we got to delve into the story and characters more. Fated Blades is out 2/22.
