Atlanta was always a dangerous city. Now, as waves of magic and technology compete for supremacy, it’s a place caught in a slow apocalypse, where monsters spawn among the crumbling skyscrapers and supernatural factions struggle for power and survival.
Eight years ago, Julie Lennart left Atlanta to find out who she was. Now she’s back with a new face, a new magic, and a new name—Aurelia Ryder—drawn by the urgent need to protect the family she left behind. An ancient power is stalking her adopted mother, Kate Daniels, an enemy unlike any other, and a string of horrifying murders is its opening gambit.
If Aurelia’s true identity is discovered, those closest to her will die. So her plan is simple: get in, solve the murders, prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, and get out without being recognized. She expected danger, but she never anticipated that the only man she’d ever loved could threaten everything.
One small misstep could lead to disaster. But for Aurelia, facing disaster is easy; it’s relationships that are hard.

MY THOUGHTS & REVIEW
This book is a dream come true.
After I read the last book of Kate Daniels, I was CRUSHED, DESTROYED and HEARTBROKEN. I couldn’t believe that my favorite UF series was coming to an end. I read this series more than any other, and I’ve fallen in love with the world and all of the characters.
Getting Blood Heir was something I didn’t dare to hope for.
And now, after reading it, I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that we’ll be getting a full series. Because I NEED MORE!!!!
All throughout the Kate Daniels series, I have been on team Julie and Derek. Although young Ascanio was hilarious and Julie and him had fun, I still hoped for a Julie and Derek romance. Now, after reading Blood Heir, I have high hopes that we are finally getting it.
Aurelia (former Julie) reminded me a lot of Kate, which makes sense after reading the book. But she also was very much her own person. Witty, smart, and quick on her feet. She had all the traits I love in a kick-ass heroine.
I also loved the many cameos of old favorite characters. It just confirmed how much I missed this world, and that we are getting a continuation, is the best thing that happened this year. My face actually had a permanent smile attached to it because the book gave me all the feels, and made me one happy reader.
In the end, anyone who loves this series, who is a fan of Julie (and Derek) will have fun and adore this book. My expectations were exceeded. I got everything I was hoping for out of this novel. I just need more.
My passion and love for this author couple knows no bounds, but I also must say, that they are the ONLY authors who never dissapoint. Their storytelling sucks me in every single time. Their books are on my re-read shelf every time I’m in a slump or need a pick me up.
What can I say, I’m on team Ilona Andrews and I can’t see it ever changing.
Read it, enjoy it, have fun and let’s all cross fingers and hope that there will be more to come.
FOUR AND A HALF STARS

I am so excited to read Blood Heir! I love Ilona Andrews and loooved Julie and Derek! Can’t wait to fall in love with them again!
Nick, you’ll love the book 😁 and afterwards you will want to read more.
This book sounds so cool! I’m definitely gonna be adding it to my TBR
Aww it just makes me so happy to see you enjoying this one so much here. I love the Kate Daniels series as well, so I am eager for this one.
I was so sad when they announced right after the last KD that they wouldn’t write a Julie book. Now, getting a Julie book is the best thing ever.
Great review Corina! I haven’t read Andrews before, so I’ll have to check it out!
Start with her Hidden Legacy series, it’s romance heavy 😊
I should love that so will do! Thanks hon! 💖
This is one of those authors that I’m sure I’ll love, but just haven’t managed to pick up a book of hers yet. Hopefully this will be the year!
Of you having read any of her books yet and you would like to start with something that is romance heavy, grab her Hidden Legacy trilogy, I’m sure you’ll have a blast with it.
Omgosh! I didn’t realize Julie’s story’s out. I kinda left the urban fantasy world once I started reading MM. I so wanna read her story and Derek. I miss Kate and the gang. Thanks for this.
You must!!! It’s such a great book, and honestly anything that’s set in the Kate Daniels world and will allow me too revisit old favourite characters is a must read for me 😀
