Ilona Andrews never fails to deliver a compelling story! It's my second reading of Sapphire Flames and yet I was just as glued to the pages as the first time. 

Catalina's a very different person from her sister, but that's to be expected because House Andrews are very good at establishing human-like characters with all their strengths and weaknesses. It was interesting to see the world from her head, especially with that comparison that her grandmother makes towards the end -- who Catalina might become as the head of house. 

A mysterious action-packed story that is 200% worth reading. Drop everything and jump in.

The boy at the beginning does not complete the suicide attempt

Many of these are facets to describe a book that has a more war like focus, there is a lot of horror, and it is treated as such.
