Breach Wars Book 1: The Inheritance by Ilona Andrews

Breach Wars Book 1

We are at war. The interdimensional invasion brought us unimaginable suffering, but it also awoke talents slumbering deep within us, a means to repel and destroy our enemy. Every day new gates open, leading to breaches filled with monsters and valuable resources. If you are a Talent, your country needs you. The world needs you. Be the hero you were born to be.


Adaline is a Talent. Ten years ago, she had a happy marriage and a job she loved. The invasion shattered both. Now she works for the government, searching the breaches for magic metals and medicine to help Earth repel an interdimensional enemy. Two kids, one cat, bills, benefits, mortgage and school tuition...Risking her life became routine.

She had gone into the dimensional gates hundreds of times. She was always well protected. This time everything goes wrong. Now Ada is trapped in the labyrinth of alien caves unlike any other. Her only companion is a scared German Shepherd named Bear. Together they must uncover the breach's secrets and escape, because Ada promised her children that she will come home.

The future of humanity depends on it.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

A new series by these authors and it is a very promising start! An interdimensional invasion ten years earlier sparked not only breaches opening where monsters and valuable resources await, but igniting abilities in humans. Ada is a Talent. And hers leads her to being in breaches more often than not. But one her own with two kids and bills to pay, she’ll take the risk. But this latest mission does not go to plan. Resulting in a lot of dead bodies and Ada being abandoned in a labyrinth of alien caves trying to survive and get back to her kids. Her only companion is a dog named Bear. Together, they face quite a lot of different things, changing themselves in the process, and learning way more about breaches and what is out there. Like any new series, you have a lot to learn when it starts off. And I’ll admit to took me a minute to figure out this new world and get into the story. But once I was in, I was hooked. This is the beginning of what I think is going to be a really great series. I loved our heroine, Ada! She was so strong and determined and refused to give up without a fight. We have so much left to explore and I can’t wait to see where this series takes us!
