Kinsmen Series by Ilona Andrews #1

Welcome to the 1st Kinsmen series thread by Ilona Andrews

01. Silent Blade
Old hatreds die hard. Old love dies harder.

On Meli Galdes’ home planet, the struggle for power is a bloody, full-contact sport—in business and on the battlefield. For years her lethal skills have been a valuable asset in advancing her family’s interests. She’s more than earned her right to retire, but her kinsmen have one last favor to ask.

Kill the man who ruined her life.

Celino Carvanna’s razor-sharp business acumen—and skills with a blade—won him the freedom to do as he pleases. There’s only one thing he can’t seem to control—his reaction to the mysterious woman who tantalizes his senses. Her eyes alone set his blood simmering, stirring ridiculous adolescent fantasies about breasts and honey. With a few words she dissects his soul. Who is she? And how does she slide so easily under his well-guarded skin?

It’s almost too easy to draw Celino within the kill zone. Meli plans to revel in him. Drink him in. Wring every drop of pleasure out of every moment.

And when she’s sure he belongs to her, she will finally repay a decade’s worth of pain—in a single, brutal dose of reality.
02. Silver Shark
Claire Shannon is a Kinsman, a woman gifted with enhanced mental capabilities. Her skills and her life were taken over by the military to fight in war that has raged on her home planet for decades. But as the war ends, she is forced to hide her abilities in order to make a new life for herself as a civilian. It’s a new persona, a new planet and new job that has her crossing paths with the powerful and alluring Venturo Escana. Is she strong enough to hide her true nature from her perceptive new boss? And as they grow closer, will she even still want to try?
Have you read the books?

I haven't read any other books besides Kate Daniels. I'm sure I'll get around to them eventually.

All finished with the second book and I want mooooore

Really enjoy this series, but why does those books have to be so short? Oh well, I'll take what we get, so no real complaints from me.

With the second book, it was interesting to get some background infos about who things work on the planet, with the different families and such. Also nice to learn how things developed between Meli and Celino.

Sadly those are just novellas

Agreed about Meli&Celino - liked that she made a quick apperance.

What did you think about the development of the relationship between boss/PA?
