On The Story & Writing:

This is my first experience with the husband and wife writing team of Ilona Andrews. I have heard great things about their Kate Daniels series which I plan on reading soon, but I stumbled upon this series in audio at the library one day while I was browsing the stacks and decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the writing flows well in spite of this being a writing partnership. There are no awkward moments where the two styles do not flow. Its all quite seamless.
