As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers—powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control. Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart.
The nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every battle could be his last. Because Catalina won't rest until she stops the use of the illicit, power-granting serum that's tearing their world apart.
Emerald Blaze is the 5th book in the Hidden Legacy series and the second to feature Catalina and Alesandro. I absolutely loved this series. It has great characters, lots of great humor, magic and romance. This time around, Alesandro is back and is tasked with keeping Catalina safe from an assassin as well as helping her figure out what is going on in "The Pit". The Pit is a place where magical remnants have been discarded and something inside is killing people.
I definitely enjoyed this one more than Sapphire Flames. I felt like Catalina and Alesandro had a LOT more chemistry this time around. I ended up loving their banter and that ending was so sweet. Alesandro definitely grew up. Catalina has also matured a lot. I was also happy that the angst didn't last too long. I enjoyed the mystery. The monsters were pretty cool as well as what the creature was in the pit. The last battle scene was really fun.
Of course, we get to see the other members of House Baylor. They just add so much to the series. Grandma Frida is my favorite. As in the last one, the epilogue was kind of a cliffhanger. I am so sad that I have to wait until next year to read the conclusion to Catalina's trilogy. I highly recommend this one as well as the series.
