The world in this book is divided into 3 - The Weird, The Edge and The Broken and yep, the world we live in (as we know it) is The Broken. The Edge is where there is some magic but not usually that much and The Weird is where there is loads of magic all the time. To be able to enter The Weird you need to have magic, to be able to enter The Broken you need to be able to survive without any, Edgers can usually go to The Broken but not many can go to The Weird - ok, now that's sorted.
The story mainly focuses on Rose, her Grandma and her two brothers who all live in The Edge, barely making ends meet. Along come a pure-blood from The Weird who succeeds in turning their lives upside down. Throw in some horrible 'beasts' that no one really knows about, a madman, magic and a big fight and there we go.
I enjoyed this book and have read it a few times as it's one that I can read without having to concentrate too much about it. It is the only Ilona Andrews book that I have at the moment but I would like to get some more of hers in the future.

Basically, she went there with a friend, got tangled up with a creature, and ended up being 'married' to two men, brothers. She goes back to their planet, to find out everything has changed, and they are shipped off to a different planet. There they have to learn how to live and work together, as well as deal with dangers on the way.
This is an easy to read book, with no great depth to it, or twists and turns. However, what is here is excellently written, and provides enough story for a nice, lighthearted, read. The characters all work together, and help to round each other out. The scenery is easy to see, and the pacing is smooth. There were not editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow.
A great read, perfect for what I wanted, and thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely recommended by me.
