    "Ruby Fever: A Hidden Legacy Novel (7) by Ilona Andrews
    https://www.amazon.com/Ruby-Fever-Hidden-Legacy-Novel/dp/0062878395/

    Book number seven of a six book and one novella (seven books total)
    paranormal romance fantasy series. I reread the well printed and well
    bound novella MMPB published by Avon in 2022 that I bought new from
    Amazon in 2024. This is the last book in the series and I doubt that
    there will be more but, hope springs eternal.

    Totally cool series for me. This makes the fourth series that I have
    read from Ilona Andrews, a husband and wife writing team based here in
    Texas. The Innkeeper, Kate Daniels, and The Edge are the other series
    of books. They are now starting a couple of new series of books.

    The Hidden Legacy Universe is a complex place. The Osiris serum that
    induced magical powers in humans was released to the general public in
    1863 and the world was never the same. The Osiris serum has three
    results: death, paranormal powers, or paranormal powers with a warped
    human body. The serum was banned after a while but the world was
    irreparably changed since the paranormal powers are inheritable.
    Families starting breeding children for strength in magical powers with breathtaking results. Magic users are segregated into five ranks:
    Minor, Average, Notable, Significant, and Prime. The Prime families
    operate mostly outside the Federal and State laws since they are so
    powerful and incredibly dangerous.

    Catalina Baylor is Nevada Baylor's younger sister and a Prime Siren.
    Nevada is wed and gone so now Catalina is running the show. And now
    Linus, the long term friend of the House Baylor and former speaker of
    the Assemblies of Magic, revealed himself to be the Warden for the State
    of Texas and has made Catalina his only Deputy Warden.

    Arabella Baylor is Catalina Baylor's younger sister and a Prime Beast
    that is unknown to the general populace. She can transform to a 65 foot
    tall beast but, she has trouble controlling when to transform. The only
    other recorded person who had this power could never control their transformations or reason while in beast form so the populace is
    incredibly scared of her.

    Alessandro Sagredo is a Prime Weapons Teleporter, a retired assassin,
    and an exiled Italian count. He is staying with the Baylor family now
    since his family exiled him for turning down the three rich heiresses
    that they set him up with to refinance his family with their dowries.

    Catalina and her family have tracked down the Osiris serum to a
    international assassin building the ultimate assassin for hire firm. And
    he wants to assassinate the Baylor family. And their friends.

    My rating: 6 out of 5 stars
    Amazon rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (6,908 reviews)
