Breach Wars #1
The Inheritance
We are at war. The interdimensional invasion brought us unimaginable suffering, but it also awoke talents slumbering deep within us, a means to repel and destroy our enemy. Every day new gates open, leading to breaches filled with monsters and valuable resources. If you are a Talent, your country needs you. The world needs you. Be the hero you were born to be.
Adaline is a Talent. Ten years ago, she had a happy marriage and a job she loved. The invasion shattered both. Now she works for the government, searching the breaches for magic metals and medicine to help Earth repel an interdimensional enemy. Two kids, one cat, bills, benefits, mortgage and school tuition...Risking her life became routine.
She had gone into the dimensional gates hundreds of times. She was always well protected. This time everything goes wrong. Now Ada is trapped in the labyrinth of alien caves unlike any other. Her only companion is a scared German Shepherd named Bear. Together they must uncover the breach's secrets and escape, because Ada promised her children that she will come home.
The future of humanity depends on it.

I've been going through a book slump for the last six months. My work schedule is crazy, I'm dead on my feet, and fall asleep the second I pick up a book. And yet I stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish this one. Wheeeee!
Ada! Bear! Jovo! Elias! That world! That link to the Innkeeper series!Ancient 40+ years old MCs! Those exotic pets creatures! That punch! (The bastard SO had it coming!) That cast of characters! That slightly oversized kitty! That ending! That everything! I want more!
P.S. This is SO much better than the serial version! (In case you were wondering and stuff.)
P.P.S. If we don't get the second installment by the end of the month, I'm unleashing the crustaceans on IA. But hey, no pressure and stuff.
To be published August 11, 2025! It should be available for download on IA's brand new online store on release day! Take that, Amazon!

I want to shout it from the rooftops: Ilona Andrews has done it again.
Every time I think Ilona Andrews can't possibly world-build up to their previous standards, they surprise me and blow my socks off. Considered my socks blown.
The Inheritance was the kind of book that got better and better as it went on. It was such an adventure. This book definitely takes place in the same general ecosystem as Clean Sweep, as you might pick up on from little tidbits of the characters the MCs meet along the way, but the story feels wholly its own.
Ilona Andrews always manages to take a female MC and make her such a bad ass without it feeling done. As a middle-aged mom, I appreciated the middle-aged mom as the main character, and I admired her strength, resilience, and perseverance.
I'm obsessed with the enemies and allies that Ada made along the way in her journey. I was so enthralled reading that I devoured it in one sitting. It was that good.
Ilona Andrews, take my money. All of my money. I'm ready to pre-order the next bagillion in the series.

I cannot wait to dive into this gem!! I have been so patient, I honestly deserve a medal for waiting months. Temptation was real—always lurking—but I never once succumbed to the serial. Nope, I knew I wanted to read it all in one glorious swoop, soaking in every bit without the torture of waiting for the next instalment.
So this week, it’s finally happening. Tuesday is the day I cherish this book… until I'm halfway through and wishing it would never end. :D
Just finished and… WOW!!!
I’m completely obsessed with Ada & Bear—and I can already see a re-read in my future. Honestly, the only thing keeping me sane right now is knowing there’s a second book on the way

The IA duo have again delivered something marvelous, something immersive and intensely captivating. The worldbuilding is wonderfully creative and imaginative – just as we are used to by everything IA have given us. Orginally released as a serial on their blog/newsletter, I still opted to wait to read the short novel in its entirety. And it was worth the wait.
Much time is spent accompanying our protagonist and narrator Adaline Moore in the so-called breach – a miniature dimension filled with extremely dangerous creatures (and profitable resources) that bridges the alternate Earth and a largely unknown hostile world. In this breach, accessed through randomly appearing gates that can ultimately be collapsed by destroying a so-called anchor in the dimension, Adaline, orginally part of a mining crew, needs to survive. She has the Talent of being an Assessor, locating profitable resources that are needed in the fight against the alien creatures; creatures that will be released to Earth under certain conditions and without intervention, murdering everyone they come across. As for Talents, those have appeared in some of the human population after the first gates ruptured and spewed forth creatures; they are manifold and can be combat or non-combat classes (like an Assessor), for example. Traveling in the breach with Adaline and Bear, a German shepherd, we get to see a strange, colorful habitat with strange colorfol creatures, showcasing the Andrews‘ unparalleled imagination of anything alien.
But worldbuilding is not the only thing IA do exceptionally well; their characters are always well developed and manage to draw me in completely. Our protagonist and narrator Adaline, badass single mom of two, is yet another great character. I really enjoyed seeing a MC in her forties, which made her especially relatable to me.
We also follow Elias McFeron and Leo Martinez, who are called in to figure out what went wrong in the latest snafu involving Adaline, her mining team with escorts, and the assault team. I was extremely satisfied that the two men didn’t blindly believe the tale of one of the few survivors of the former crew. I just hate it when misrepresentation leads to misconceptions. In case you were wondering why I’m being so cryptic: I‘m deliberately keeping most of this vague so I‘m not revealing too much. That’s also why I‘m stopping here; I hope I whetted your appetite enough! Also, if you’re not yet an IA fan, this novel can be read as a standalone. (There is a link to the Innkeeper Chronicles though.)
All in all, I can‘t wait to read the sequel! The ending promised so much more.

Stars: 5 out of 5
I am not ashamed to say that the writing duo behind Ilona Andrews books is my favorite contemporary writers. Seriously, I don't think there is a book by them that I read (and I read almost all of them) that I didn't love. This one is no exception.
The Inheritance takes place in the same universe as Innkeeper and the Edge series, though on a parallel Earth that is, it seems, loosely attached to Dina's world (at least to Baha-Char).
And it stars an absolutely badass female protagonist. Ada isn't a fighter. In fact, as Ellias would say, she is the definition of a non-combatant. Her talent is to come into a breach once the fighting has been done, determine what rare minerals or biologicals are there, and tell the mining crew where to dig (or what to pick up). But boy does she get an upgrade in this particular breach...
I won't touch any more on that, because that would spoil the story, but let's just say she is a different person when she comes out, all the while staying true to what has always driven all her actions - keep her children safe and ensure that they inherit a better world than the one she has to live in.
And all through this story, Ada is absolutely human and relatable. I understood her reactions and her motivations, and I admired her determination to push ahead to matter what, even though she had to make some hard choices. The presence of Bear, the ever-awesome German Shepherd turned killing machine also helped.
Ellias is just as interesting a character, though we got less of him in this book, which was understandable. This is Ada's story. Ellias mostly had to sit on his butt and fume about the delay of getting back into the breach (and destroy a desk or two in his impatience). I can't wait to see how their relationship evolves in book two. Once they overcome their suspicions, they could be unstoppable.
It was also so satisfying to see London get a good portion of karma by the end. I reread that passage several times just for the pleasure of seeing him fly 20 feet backwards.
All in all, the House Andrews delivers yet another fantastic book in an original and interesting world... And now we have to wait a couple years before we get the sequel.

Well, today I am a sleep-deprived mess because I stayed up until 3am finishing this book. I tried to make myself quit around midnight, but it was a complete fail. Anyway!
This is one of my favorite authors (or I guess I should say two of my favorite authors), so it isn't a huge surprise that I loved it. I held off on reading the serial version they released of this story on their website because I'm just horribly impatient once I start a thing and know the characters. After their first Innkeeper serial, which I both loved and died a bit inside weekly at having to pause after just one chapter each week, I decided to just hold off for the whole thing to land and get published. (Though my sleep schedule would probably be happier if I read the serial version, ha!)
I really loved it. It is a fun mash-up of UF and sci-fi, with a some flavors of dystopia (not entirely - society didn't collapse, but the whole world was changed by these gates) and even some of the dungeon crawl RPG tone at times.
The basic set-up is that one day these holes/gates popped up all over the globe. They were kind of freaky but didn't seem to do much - you could see inside them and they were a gate to a different landscape, something alien. The world panicked at first, but then a month went by and nothing happened...so everyone just went about life as usual, slightly annoyed at the new traffic hazard but otherwise unimpacted. Until about 8 weeks after the gates appeared, when suddenly monsters started spewing out of them. Basically, the gates are the launch of an invasion. The attackers have created these kinds of pocket spaces, and filled them with monsters. There's an anchor inside that seems to gather energy for however long it takes (depending on the size of the pocket space, or something like that), and then opens the Earth-side gate so all the monsters can pour out. The monsters seem to be the first wave of invasion, softening up the planet before the aliens arrive to conquer. At the start of the book, this has been going on for 10 years, with humanity fighting to stop the incursions. They're stopped by sending a team into the gate and destroying the anchor before it can finish charging, so the monsters never get released onto Earth. Though the team has to fight through said monsters to get to the anchor, so it isn't exactly a walk in an alien park.
Two other things have kept humanity from outright losing this war.
1 - After those first gates popped open, some humans spontaneously developed superpowers. The world now calls those people Talents. Talents are widely varied - some people have combat talents, some have healing talents, some have cool utility talents like the ability to dowse for useful ores, etc. Which leads us to ...
2 - We realized these pocket spaces are filled with useful things that can really up our game, stuff like rare metals, plants that have advanced our healing, etc.
So now the mission each time a gate appears is two-fold. Mission 1 is sending a combat team in to shatter the anchor, and mission 2 is sending a foraging team in to grab up whatever good things are in the pocket space before it folds.
Our FMC Ada is an Assessor Talent - she can look around a space and spot the usefulness of everything in it (like, she sees them glow in colors - yellow is dangerous, red is useful), and additionally she can look at a thing and immediately know its use (like, this plant will make a super advanced medicine, this ore is unbreakable). She's part of the foraging mission, obviously.
Anyway, things go to shit in the current gate dive, and the book is Ada and her dog (Bear) trying to survive in this alien cave system and find the way out, even as the whole experience is changing them on a fundamental level.
At first I thought Ada had a kind of lame superpower, but let me tell you, in a survival situation, that's the best power to have. She could instantly know that this is safe to eat, this plant has pollen that will kill us if we breathe it, etc. Of course, she'd still die without some combat ability, but as I said, their time in this gate - their exposure to things - evolves both Ada and Bear pretty dramatically.
I really loved the book, and I'm so thrilled that the authors have said there will definitely be a sequel - there's so much left to do and explore in this world, it feels like we've barely gotten started! Also, Ada barely gets to meet the person I assume is the MMC (Elias), so there's that to look forward to. And I can't wait to see how Ada keeps all the ways she has changed secret. It would also be a shame for her to go back to a simple government Assessor job - I want to see her be the badass she has become!
However, this book has a satisfying ending, so even though it will likely be a long wait to book 2, we're not left dangling.

Sometimes when your favorite authors branch out and stretch out their creative juices you get something unexpectedly wonderful. Ada lives in/on an Earth dimension that is being slowly invaded. Ten years ago portals known as breaches started opening on earth, little pocket dimensions that if you did nothing build up energy until they burst spewing monsters out. Human's being humans decided why wait until it builds and bursts? They decided to go in and kill everything and mine the portal for material in it and get out before it collapses. Ada is supposed to be protected at all costs. She has a rare talent to assess the worth of the portal making them extremely profitable. But now everything has gone wrong and she is trapped in a portal with only a canine companion trying to survive before a new team shows up.
This was a departure for my favorite writing duo. They thought they'd be writing a small novella serial style, a one and done single player leveling adventure. Hahahah...I don't think they really know how to do that. The Inheritance has turned into a two book series much like the other books they started as serials have.
Ada is great! She is a mother of two who promised she would get back to her kids and she has decided to do whatever it takes to make that happen. I was happy to see a MC heroine in her forties work her way through issues and have grown up problems and reasons for putting in the effort. Her transformation on page from the non-combatant to a bad ass was great especially seeing at the end how much she has changed. The flip backs to her past to a time with her husband made my heart just hurt for her and her children.
I liked that in the final novella version of the book IA was able to flesh out the story just a little more, add a few more Elias scenes and a few of her children as well. It made the story better as a whole. If you read the online serial then you know they didn't give away the ending so this was my first time reading the last few chapters and I LOVED the resolution of the conflict with Ada and London along with what Elias found in the portal, I think that will be a lot of fun to play with.
Overall I had a great time with this almost LiTRPG novella and seeing what cool things my favorite dynamic writing duo could come up with. I 'm excited for audio to experience it all again.
After the first gates burst, some people gained strange abilities that couldn’t be explained by science. To be fair, science tried its hardest, but if it walked like magic and talked like magic, most people decided it was magic.

“Promises must be kept, Bear. Especially to children. I promised Tia I wouldn’t die in this hellhole and I meant it. We are going to survive. We will get out of here if I have to crawl on my hands and knees all the way to that damn gate.”

A new series by Ilona Andrews. Sure, sure, the authors keep swearing it's only gonna be a duology but considering the worldbuilding, that can't be true (also, this was supposed to only be a short story, novelly at most, and now look *lol*). They simply might not have admitted it to themselves yet. ;P
The setting is our world in the not too distant future. Suddenly, a portal opens.
It's weird and unsettling but not an immediate problem ... until monsters come pouring forth and nothing is ever the same again.
10 years later, some people have developed "talents", a supposedly natural reaction to the gates and the creatures on the other side that humanity is now at war with. Some are combat talents, others healers or assessors and whatnot.
Why assessors? Because humanity discovered that the enemy doesn't live directly on the other side of the gates but that the so-called breach is somewhere in the middle - and it has resources. Finding the biggest deposits requires people sensing what is in the ground, so to speak. Sounds like an arms race? Ayup.
The problem is that despite it having been 10 years, humans know so little.
Rich worldbuilding, right?
In this first of (supposedly) only 2 books, Ada is our MC. A surveyor, slightly older than the usual females in such books, a single mother of two because her ex husband showed his true (ugly) face after the breaches appeared. She's sent through a gate with miners and a protection force. Routine.
Until the shit hits the fan and she's left behind with only a dog for company.
Despite me giving quite a detailed idea of the worldbuilding, none of the above is a spoiler, really. The juicy bits happen later / in between and shall remain unnamed.
Suffice it to say that the male MC, Elias, is swoon-worthy (it doesn't hurt that he got a ) - and the dog, Bear, is THE BEST. *lol*
(I, personally, identified most with Samatha in the end. Bwahahahahahahahaha.)
Personally, I've been listening to the audiobook, which might have been a mistake. The male narrator (reading Elias' parts) was pretty good, but the woman reading Ada's parts annoyed me. Maybe it wasn't 100% her fault and Ada herself would have annoyed me up to a point, dunno.
In any case, since I only read the audio version, I didn't know this was illustrated! A few buddy-readers pointed it out so I've included some of the artwork in this review and here is the link to the rest of the (absolutely gorgeous) illustrations: https://candiceslater.art/concept-ske...
Absolutely fantastic artwork in my opinion that reminded me of the Avatar movies ()!
So while this wasn't as good as other IA books for me, it did pick up significantly and I will absolutely read the next once it is published.

Finding the biggest deposits requires people sensing what is in the ground, so to speak. Sounds like an arms race? Ayup.
The problem is that despite it having been 10 years, humans know so little.
Rich worldbuilding, right?
In this first of (supposedly) only 2 books, Ada is our MC. A surveyor, slightly older than the usual females in such books, a single mother of two because her ex husband showed his true (ugly) face after the breaches appeared. She's sent through a gate with miners and a protection force. Routine.
Until the shit hits the fan and she's left behind with only a dog for company.
Despite me giving quite a detailed idea of the worldbuilding, none of the above is a spoiler, really. The juicy bits happen later / in between and shall remain unnamed.
Suffice it to say that the male MC, Elias, is swoon-worthy (it doesn't hurt that he got a ) - and the dog, Bear, is THE BEST. *lol*
(I, personally, identified most with Samatha in the end. Bwahahahahahahahaha.)
Personally, I've been listening to the audiobook, which might have been a mistake. The male narrator (reading Elias' parts) was pretty good, but the woman reading Ada's parts annoyed me. Maybe it wasn't 100% her fault and Ada herself would have annoyed me up to a point, dunno.
In any case, since I only read the audio version, I didn't know this was illustrated! A few buddy-readers pointed it out so I've included some of the artwork in this review and here is the link to the rest of the (absolutely gorgeous) illustrations: https://candiceslater.art/concept-ske...
Absolutely fantastic artwork in my opinion that reminded me of the Avatar movies ()!
So while this wasn't as good as other IA books for me, it did pick up significantly and I will absolutely read the next once it is published.

I love this writing duo so it was no surprise that I devoured this book. I somehow had checked out and had missed this one so it was a more than pleasant surprise for my August. The main character was really interesting and I was relieved to read that this will be at least the first of two books. I really loved the dog and aliens characters as well. The world building was good and I would like to see more in this world. Ada works with a guild to enter the gates and mine them for important resources. She has a helpful talent and is doing her part. When everything goes wrong on one expedition she is left behind and has to fight and explore her way home with only a dog as an ally.

This is like the most positive 3 star review ever I swear. It’s like a rly good 3.5 maybe. It’s just that this book is 90% badass mom goes alien monster smashing with a giant german shepherd animal companion. That’s really it. It is also, exactly what I was looking for.
I wanted a pedal to the metal Ilona Andrews palette cleanser after my last book (the jasad crown) ruined my life. A world where Earth experiences random alien portals that open up and spew monsters if not infiltrated and closed promptly? Perfect.
The short length of this story (almost novella?) was ideal and the non stop action well paced… but my favorite part of Ilona Andrews has always been 50% the nonstop monster mayhem and 50% the fun characters and delightful dynamics between them. We only got half of that formula here. You’re in 2 POVs the entire story (that you know are for sure going to meet eventually) (when they do meet eventually at the very last 10% I was satttt). But the main POV (badass mom) really only talks to her dog throughout her journey (Bear is a very good boy). So just not much to sink my teeth into as fun as all the alien vanquishing and level upping was.
This also kinda had litrpg vibes? I don’t think it actually is but I was getting Dungeon Crawler Carl flashbacks.
Anyway I think this series is going to be super fun. I see the vision and will definitely read more when it comes out.

4.25 ★— I have never read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series in my entire life, but this is a lot of what I imagine a female-led version of that could be.
As a longtime fan of Ilona Andrews, this release has been on my radar for some time, and hearing that this is going to be a two-book series with a predetermined ending, especially while I am actively waiting for them to conclude two of their other book series, was enticing to me.
This didn’t disappoint!
In this book's sub-300-page length, it threw me into the action almost immediately, barely giving me as a reader breathing room as I got to follow Adaline fight her way through this world she finds herself in. I loved that she was an older protagonist at 40! Her identity as a mother to two kids was something that I felt the book fleshed out well, and the fact that this unconditional love was shown through her determination to survive her harsh environment was just so perfectly illustrated.
Generally, the worldbuilding here was nothing special, but it was serviceable for the type of book this was: an action-filled, sci-fi survival story.
The story's other POV was the MMC’s, who, in typical Andrews fashion, is battle-hardened and a little world-weary. We get enough buildup that I think seeing a romantic connection between him and Adaline will be a lot of fun!

Ilona’s done it again! And Easter Eggs/crossovers! Loved this one
August 18, 2025
Yes, I did indeed finish this in one day. Their writing just WORKS for my brain.
(Also was that an easter egg link to Innkeeper Chronicles???)
There's a good content warning page in the book itself, but for those who need it here and now: the dog lives.

Halloween Bingo 2025
Ilona Andrews is one of my favourite authors, so when my bookshop emailed to say that this book was waiting for me, I abandoned my adult responsibilities and headed out to claim it. The Andrews started this story on their blog as a serial, doling the words out each Friday. I read it regularly and enjoyed it a lot. But, being smart business people, they didn't provide the ending. For that, purchasing the title was necessary.
Although I had read the available blog chapters (several times, actually), I started over from the beginning. It was lovely torture, but a good refresher. There are two sides to the story: Ada, the Assessor, who is trapped in a breach, a portal to a place with strange, dangerous creatures, poisonous plants, and very valuable resources. Her team is dead, as their protectors abandoned them. Outside the breach, we follow Elias, the head of the company responsible for collecting the resources and protecting the recovery team. He suspects that the snafu is caused by one of his staff—he must find a way to prove it and to recover the bodies of his team.
Ada’s situation is serious, but she has received an unusual gift from a dying woman of an unknown species encountered during the event that caused the disaster. Now she has only the team’s German Shepherd for company. Ada must rely on her Assessor talent, her dog, and her determination to get back to her children to get her back to Earth.
As usual, Ilona and Gordon have polished their prose for the final version. Finding the new bits is always fun. And then that ending! It's not a cliffhanger exactly, but it definitely leaves unanswered questions. The authors have indicated that this is a duology, so eventually I expect to learn where things will go from here. I know, however, that they have a lot of irons in the fire, so I will not hold my breath for the second half of the story. Since I want their other books too, this is win-win waiting as far as I'm concerned.
I read this book for the Urban Decay square of my Halloween Bingo card.

I loved this so much, I did a 2nd re-listen to the audiobook. I really cannot wait until we get the second book!
1st review: Finally! Another series starter that has me absolutely excited. I loved this and now I’m left wanting more. It’s not a standalone. There will be more in the series and this is just the beginning. But what a beginning it is! I’m left craving for the next book. I feel like this is going to build and build just like the Kate Daniel’s series did for me. There’s so much potential. The only negative for me is not knowing when the second book will be released.

Ten years ago, interdimensional gates opened up all over the world and monsters spilled out. The Earth paid a heavy price, but when those gates opened some humans started registering magical gifts called “Talents”. Now these Talents go into the gates into the “Breach” to mine out special resources to help in the fight against these alien forces.
Ada Moore is a Talent working for the government as an Assessor, going down into the gates to look for valuable resources before they shut the gate down. As a single mother of two, she needs the health insurance and other benefits, so she braves the danger and so far, it’s paid off. However, her mission with combat team Cold Chaos, something goes horribly wrong, and she’s stuck with only the team’s German Shepherd, Bear. Ada’s determined to get out and back to her kids, though. Her time in the breach is filled with danger, discovery and change! I loved Bear, her sweet and fierce companion!
Right away I was rooting for Ada! She’s a relatable, normal mom, trying to get by and do the best for her two kids, but she’s also resourceful and smart! Her Talent is a special, complex one! I won’t say more.
Back up top, the leader of Cold Chaos, Elias McFeron, a powerful combat Talent, is trying to find out what happened after the news of the mission gets back to him. Going back down to retrieve the fallen is his priority.
I was so excited to pick up The Inheritance, but I waited until I had a chunk of uninterrupted time because I knew I’d want to read it straight through once starting! Ilona Andrews never fails to deliver an exciting, page-turning adventure with complex, relatable characters! While this storyline does wrap up, there’s so much more to come and I’m eager for the next book!

How would you change if life as we know it no longer exists? A portal has opened up in Chicago, and monsters pour forth. Our heroine’s life changes in a blink, and she becomes one of the brave souls who help humanity by braving the breaches to mine them for valuables and close them before too much damage is done. I won’t give away too much, but our heroine’s journey is filled with monsters, wonders, and her faithful dog.
This was such a fantastic read. I’m biased because Ilona Andrews fed it to their adoring fans bit by bit on their blog, but it really shines as a whole, fascinating story. Do yourself a favor and read it now!

The Andrews could write the yellow pages and I would love reading them. They’re absolute urban fantasy legends in my book (heh, heh)! This specific story is just as creative, fun, nuanced and wonderful as ever. There is a lot of set up, world-building, character introducing and plot understanding throughout, which is SO lovely. IF (I can’t capitalize that enough) this story continues and builds upon everything we learn and discover in this book. And, it leaves so many thing open to future possibilities that It would be such a waste if it doesn’t evolve into a series. (Hint, hint)

Sox weeks later and I needed a reread.
No one and I mean literally no one does it better than House Andrews!
The world building, the characters, the action and Bear made this book awesome.
I wanted more after Ada came back from the Breach. More interaction with Elias. Plain and simple I need the next book now.

Not calling this a romance because although I think there's an excellent romance in the offing, they don't meet until the end of the book. Great survival story and loved the crossover potential with Innkeeper. Still wish they'd written something else instead of this.

IN A NUTSHELL
Ilona Andrews has done it again! 'The Inheritance' is a fun mix of Fantasy and Science Fiction that opens up a a whole univers of possiblities. It was a light, fast read with a lot of action, a relatable main character and a survival against the odds plot. I hope it becomes a series.
‘‘The Inheritance’ was a fast, tense, exciting read, packed with intriguing puzzles that hooked my curiosity and peppered with vivid action scenes.
I loved that Adeline, the main character, is a single mom who took a job risking her life going into pandimensional ‘Gates’ that can let hordes of deadly creatures through to our world, not because she’s a hero, but because she wanted the security of good medical benefits and a top school for her kids. Even when she's about to enter a Gate about which she has a bad feeling, her main priority is taking a call from her daughter's school, who claim to be concerned about her daughter's attitude to death. Adeline is a non-combatant, there to supervise a team of paramilitary contractors whose job is to raid the Gate for resources and then shut it down. She's not the person you'd expect to end up fighting her way through caves and tunnels filled with monstrous predators with only a dog for company.
I’m in awe at Ilona Andrews’ ability to have a whole new universe in their imagination – with a history of major events, a new magic system, a set of rules around portals and details of multiple alien races, including their conflicts and cultures – and yet the focus remained on the struggle of one woman and her dog to survive.
The combat scenes in the tunnels are vivid and exciting. But it's Adeline's personal journey from shocked, betrayed noncombatant to fiersome fighter, newly_gifted with skills and memories that are not her own and determined to cut her way through anything that stands in the way of her getting back to her kids, that powers the story.
The ending caught me by surprise. It was deeply satisfying and brought the story to a conclusion that had me applauding Adeline, but it went beyong survival and sowed the seeds for a much bigger plot.
I’m hoping that Ilona Andrews continues with this series soon. I want to see what Adeline does next.

Easy 5 stars! I don’t know how IA does it, but they’ve created another incredibly intricate and fascinating world and magic system. I started this and couldn’t put it down. I fell for Ada and Bear immediately and then Elias and Leo were the icing on the cake! I definitely get potential Kate and Curran vibes from Ada and Elias, but readers should know that there is no romance in this book (unless you count the romance between Bear and Ada lol) Kudos also to IA for having two MC’s who are in their 40’s!
The story is action packed and the included illustrations were such a fun bonus. (Note: I wanted to see them in color (and be able to zoom in), so I viewed them in the kindle app instead of my paperwhite.) There’s a lot to unpack in this book and I will admit that some of the details confused me, but I know all the threads will come together beautifully the end. The book ends with the main conflict of the novel resolved (yay for no terrible cliffy!), but the larger plot and some loose ends are left for future books. I really, really hope we don’t have to wait too long for book 2 because I can’t wait for more!

A new adventure from an established author.
I have been a long-time fan of this author and love most of their work.
At first, I was a bit hesitant about this book since the premise was so different from what I normally read. I shouldn't have doubted. Yes, it is different from Ilona Andrews' other series, but this story is fantastic and still contains much of what makes them such an amazing author. The characters all feel so real, and the story is very engaging.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next in this series.

Read the free online serial. Can’t wait to read the edited version and the ending!
For millennia, humans were terrified of being eaten. It was the most primal of our fears. It drove our progress and our relentless pursuit of technology. We conquered the planet to keep our children safe from the predators that roamed in the night. We thought we put this anachronistic horror behind us. And then the gates appeared, and the ancient fear came roaring back. Once again, we were scared that monsters would attack and devour our children, and all our weapons and our progress would do nothing to stop it.
Sooo good (as always)!
“Promises must be kept, Bear. Especially to children. I promised Tia I wouldn’t die in this hellhole and I meant it. We are going to survive. We will get out of here if I have to crawl on my hands and knees all the way to that damn gate.”
I was sure it wasn’t normal, but nothing had been since I walked into this breach. Normal had packed its bags and left the building.

3.5 It's an Ilona Andrews book. What's not to like?
Love, though, just a thread. I am not a video game player, so this book didn't really work for me. I enjoyed reading it but - as I said-I didn't love it. There's potential, that's the best I can say.

SO GOOD!!!! I love them your honor. I’m so glad we got to see Elias even though the characters barely met. We love a doggy character and Bear was everything. Love that our MC is an older, divorced, mom. And a badass. I can not wait for book two.
