The third book in Ilona Andrews' The Edge series in Fate's Edge. This book follows the previously introduced Kaldar Mar and the debut of Audrey Callahan.
Audrey is a from a family of grifters, but several years ago she left and now is living a straight life. That is until her father shows up and pulls her back in, promising it will be their last score. Audrey agrees with one condition, she no longer has contact with the family when this is done. The score ends up leading to big trouble and soon she finds out that the cost is more than she could have imagined.
Kaldar is the jack of all trades, and for years he help his family survive on the Edge. Now living in the Weird, he is working for the Mirror, in hopes of one day getting his revenge against the Hand. He is sent on mission, in which the Hand has dealing with, and gets more than he bargained for with two stowaways and Audrey, a woman after his own heart.
I really liked Kaldar as a character in Bayou Moon. He was charming and smart, and the way he goads William is hilarious at times. I was so glad he got his own book, which was fantastic. Plus the cons they run together fix a need that has been empty since TNT cancelled Leverage.
Kaldar and Audrey fit so well together as a couple. She can see through his BS and he helps her to for fill her potential and talents. Of course, they have their rough spots, like her in decision what to do about him because she is unsure if he is running a con on her or not.
One of my favorite things about this book is that Andrews brings back George and Jack as major players in the book. We get to see how they are doing, and how becoming Weird Bluebloods has effected them. I love these two characters, especially Jack. George has really grown into his power, and he is incredibly smart and perceptive. Jack embraces his changling nature, and at times pretends to be less human than he really is to get away with things.
This was a wonderful addition to the series. I cannot wait to see where the last books goes with Richard Mar as the lead.
