You know that feeling when something is too good to actually talk about? This series is like that for me. I have no words because I feel like if I tried, an unintelligible gush of everything would just pour out along with wild gesticulations, an overabundance of exclamations, and maybe even googly eyes. 
 I ADORE this husband and wife writing team. When you read as many books as I do, everything tends to blur together into the same kinds of tropes and formulas. Over and over again I find myself rereading both this series and the rest of Ilona Andrews' books because I just haven't found many other authors who are able to balance so much and so skillfully. There's always intelligent, interesting mythology/concepts that other authors haven't explored before. I can always expect incredible characterization and worldbuilding. 
 I guess the craziest part is that my expectations are always so high and yet I have never been disappointed. Every other author I adore has at least a few books that quite frankly just aren't that great or become somewhat formulaic. I don't know what magic goes on behind the scenes, but I can hope that it never ends.
