So that was good to see Richard's story and more of Sophie/Lark and The boys.

You can see how much of a control freak George is. ( )

If this series had to come to an end, Steel’s Edge was a fine way to end it. In past books, Richard seemed stiff and boring, and I wasn’t sure how excited I was about a star-crossed romance between a blueblood lady from the Weird and him. But as they always do, the Ilona Andrews writing team developed two unique characters that I was rooting for right away. In fact, I think Richard and Charlotte are my favorite pairing of the series.
In each of these books, the main characters have to wade through a lot of violence and destruction before they can be together, and they usually start out at odds with each other. I liked that Richard and Charlotte’s attraction was rooted in admiration and respect. And it was refreshing that all their cards were on the table once they consummated the relationship. The tension in their relationship wasn’t based on fear of secrets coming out, one character finding out something that might (but won’t be) a deal-breaker, because they both told each other about the baggage they were bringing to the relationship.
I loved Charlotte, with her no-nonsense, we’re-too-old-for-this attitude, and her healing power had an interesting twist. The authors’ characterization of Richard perfectly portrayed why he is always so serious and driven. It was also great to see characters from past books, especially Jack and George, but I also enjoyed seeing more of Sophie and Lady Olivia. I really hope this is just the end of this particular arc, and that maybe the Jack and George generation will get their own series.
It’s been so fun to blow through these books. I haven’t chain-smoked a series in a long time, and this one was definitely worthy. ( )

I truly enjoyed this series. I can't wait for book #5. Hopefully I wont have to wait to long.

Sad Note! I just saw where the author said this is the last book in this series and there won't be a 5th book. Now I feel let down and disappointed. I really loved reading this series. It was just that fantastic. Wonder if there is a way to possibly change Ilona Andrews mind?

Filled with Adventure, Danger and a whole lot of 'Kick A## & Take Names Later'. Constant action that held me spellbound.

In this one Richard Mar is the Hunter. It is his goal to hunt down and destroy the Slavers and those who run it. He wants to get to whoever it is at the Top and bring them down, HARD! He wont let anything or anyone get in his way of that goal. It is what he lives for and what drives him forward.

Charlotte de Ney is a Healer and highly respected in her world. Then something happens that sends her to The Edge. She is making a new life for herself when slavers come to her front door and destroy everything she cares about. She refuses to do nothing. She goes on the war path and WOW! She kicks some major butt!!

Richard and Charlotte make a terrifying team! And I loved every second of reading their story.

Characters that you met in previous books are involved and some new characters appear. Some are good some are evil. They all come together to make the world that Ilona Andrews has created in The Edge series come Alive! ( )

I adore this serious. This arc is finished, how long am I going to have to wait for George and Jack and Sophie's stories?? ( )

This book/series was just as good as the author's previous series about Kate Daniels. It is a paranormal romance/fantasy novel and a fun read. The characters were understandable and human while still being fantastical. I quite liked the world that this story inhabited. ( )
