“Andrews takes dysfunctional family stories to a new level in this engaging urban fantasy series opener. . . . Andrews has created a complex plot and convincing characters that will keep the pages turning.” –Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Cementing her position as a rising star of supernatural fiction, Andrews launches a vibrant new series filled with magic and menace. Since worldbuilding, as well as characterization, are two of the author’s strengths, readers are quickly drawn into her distinctive vision. The enormous social gulf between the story’s protagonists makes their romantic-relationship dance all the more captivating. Packed with action, yet focused on the impact of relationships, this is pure reading pleasure! – Romantic Times, 4 1/2 Stars, TOP PICK
On the Edge is going down on my 2009 reading list as a top ten favorite. When I’d like nothing better than to reread it immediately, I know I’ve read a winner. – Lurv A La Mode
I’m not sure what genre you can label it, but it [On The Edge] has a deep core of magic, world building and romance that made this book a delight. – Bookpushers.com
Bottom line is that On the Edge proves that Kate Daniels wasn’t some fluke. It’s fun, it’s gritty, it’s darkly humorous and leaves me wanting more. - Poisoned Rationality
I will tell you this – I loved it. I could go on and say that Andrews creates a fascinating world that survives in between two different, yet similar, realities; that the characters are amazing and the chemistry they exhibit keeps the reader completely entertained; and that the plot keeps you guessing while not leaving you completely clueless. I could say all this, but if you’re a fan of Andrew’s Kate Daniels series, then you probably already know these qualities are going to be there. Ilona Andrews has an amazing way with words and she totally delivers with On the Edge. – Literary Escapism
Totally loved it, go buy and read it. Caution: you might want to choose a day when getting up the next morning is optional, cuz there’s a good chance you’re going to want to read it straight through. - Alpha Heroes
Andrews creates a fascinating universe where three distinct, individual worlds literally exist side by side. Peopled with unique characters in a richly- layered text laden with imagery, this highly improbable place feels completely real. Written with generous doses of humor and heart underscoring the imaginative narrative, the authors ensure that readers will relish their visit with Rose, Declan, the boys, and the townspeople of LaPorte. This reviewer very much looks forward to the next trip to the Edge in book two. – Bitten by Books
Ilona Andrews has started this series off with a bang! – Howling Good Books
If you enjoy fantasy with romance or romance with fantasy, you’ll love ON THE EDGE. The world Ilona Andrews has created is believable and vivid. I feel as though I know how to get there. I don’t even need my GPS. - Mean Marie
