This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic.
For the next year, I am going to try a different format. I’ll come back to the previous format in 2026.
My favorite Ilona Andrews series are all of them I have read. I like all the genres. Ilona Andrews is really my favorite author.

Let me know if you have read these series. Please share your favorites with me in the comments, also.
About Ilona Andrews
“Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.)
Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Texas with their two children and many dogs and cats.
They have co-authored several bestselling series, including the #1 NYT bestselling urban fantasy of Kate Daniels, rustic fantasy of the Edge, paranormal romance of Hidden Legacy, and Innkeeper Chronicles, which they post as a free weekly serial.
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

I agree they are all fabulous. I haven’t read a book by them yet that wasn’t terrific!
They are my favorites. Are you going to try the Read-along next year or part of it? It’s the Edge series, followed by the Innkeeper Chronicles. We read one book a month and discuss. The publishers have put up some great prizes.
I made it pretty far into the Kate Daniels series and loved them all.
It’s a favorite series of all time.
Also a huge Ilona Andrews fan! The Kate Daniels are my favs by just a smidge, but mostly because it’s nice to read your own name doing something bada$$! 😀
I mean to do the read-alongs, but I’ll probably get distracted midway through and forget.
Kate we would love to have you join us! This is my favorite author. We are really reading 2 series so hopefully you can read at least one with us?
Of their series, I suppose I love the Innkeeper Chronicles best, but I’ve always preferred Sci-fi elements so no surprise there. That said, they are all really good. Still need to read those two side stories in the Kate Daniels’ world. I’m dragging my heels on the Julie book b/c I’ve never cottoned to that character much, but I suspect its still pretty good.
All their books are excellent, but you could easily wait because the Julie books and the Hugh books are only 1 book into each series. Not that I can wait one minute after I get one of their books.
I love them all except the Kinsmen series. I’ve read it, but not my favorite. All the others I’ll read over and over again.
Me too! I own them in multiple formats giving me different options each time I read.
I haven’t read this author yet but one day I will.
You’re welcome to join us on all or part of the Read-along for 2025. They’re my favorite!
I’ve read them all with the exception of Kinsmen, but I own them on audiobook. I’ll get to them eventually. My favorite may be Innkeeper, but it’s too hard to pick!
I love and have read them all in at least one format. I tend to own them in multiple formats so I have options when I read again.
I’ve read and loved them all! They’re my favorite authors along with Patricia Briggs. Tied for #1!
Exactly right, same for me.
Kate Daniels!!!!!!!!!!!!
