[littlehermitvamp]

There are some books that make me so happy no matter how many times I read it I am in awe

I present Actual dialog from this book

Grandma: How was your day?

Protagonist: I discovered a ginormous indestructible entity and have to kill it and it's creator or it will destroy the world

Grandma: *waves hand* not that. I want to know what's happening with your hot Italian boyfriend

Protag: not my boyfriend

Grandma: and that's the problem

Ive read this book 6 times before and I'm dying

read in 2022 📖 Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews

“Don’t you get it? Right here, right now, you are everything I ever wanted. I don’t care about money, connections, or reputation. We can earn all these things, together. I just want you. You’re so much more than I hoped for. If you come home with me, I’ll be the luckiest person alive.”

I read all the Hidden Legacy books in 5 days and my fingers slipped

It was a sad day when your safest way home was a rabid killer who broke your heart and you were getting into his car to prove to yourself that you weren't a coward.

Ilona Andrews: French covers

I was browsing my local bookstore when I saw it: hidden legacy got a shiny new edition in French!

Now, you guys are probably familiar with the American covers. They're... Well... They exist. And for a long time, the French covers were Just As Bad

Exhibit A: French cover for Burn for Me

Exhibit B: French cover for White Hot

Exhibit C: French cover for Wildfire

But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked they decided to actually Do A Decent Job for once! Behold, the new edition, an omnibus for Hidden Legacy 1, 2, 3 and 3.5 (with a new translator for some reason I guess):

Look at this! No photoshopped woman or couple in an awkward pose! The other covers put the bar so low that I'm so fucking happy with this one, even though it's completely average!

I was going to end this post on a happy note with the fact that I can now recommend this series to my French friends, but while making this post I discovered that The Inkeeper Chronicles just got published in French too and, well, I have to share it with you

It's ... Bad. Dina looks 15??? The Inn looks like the manor in the Turn of the Screw?? And they named the book The Keeper of the Doors???? Whyyyyy

It was an ancient song, full of promises and whispers of bliss, the kind of song that caused seasoned sailors to hurl themselves into raging seas just to get closer.
