The Legacy is a engrossing paranormal thriller that I could not put down till it was finished. Well written and interesting characters.

This was a promising book until the end, when I discovered it was only a prequel. That was annoying. I don't always mind reading prequels, but I do when it's unexpected.

That being said, it is a great premise for what I hope will be a full story with real conclusions. The author is a good writer.

Thankyou to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and the author, S P Brown, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of The Legacy in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I thought this book provided a good read. I was hooked from the start. Absolutely great read with well drawn characters and imaginative storyline.
Well worth a read

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the ARC.

I loved the concept of this when I first read the synopsis and requested it on Netgalley. This did not let me down. I did read this back in 20018 and forgot to post my review.

It was a dark paranormal with lots of thrilling aspects in the book. It would love to read again but the only thing about rereads is that you already know what is going to happen so you don't hold your breath because you already know. The fun part of a mystery is not knowing until the end.

loved this book, I love that it was different from any others that i have read but i like it worth reading it , thank you for the great book

A well plotted and suspenseful supernatural thriller. While I don't usually read these type of books,I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more

It deserves every star i gave, the story was well constructed, flowed with ease and kept me reading to find out more.
the story had enough information to entertain me and didn't linger on extending the plot, it was fast and to the point.
can't wait for the continuation of it.

Typically, I am wary of fantasy/paranormal books. So, I approached The Legacy with some reluctance. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed this book quite a bit.

Harry Black is an interesting character. He finds himself the recipient of a curse and a legacy. After spending much of his life rejecting his grandmother and her stories, Harry reluctantly accepts this burden in order remain his grandmother’s heir. From then on, it’s a roller coaster ride, as Harry begins the journey to save the country, claim his inheritance and stay alive all at the same time.

There is plenty of action in The Legacy, the writing is uncomplicated but well-done, the characters are varied and interesting and the plot is solid. It kept my attention to the very end. All in all, I enjoyed this book and it has encouraged me to dip into more fantasy in the future. And, without a doubt, I will be on the lookout for more books by S.P. Brown.

Many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

Harry Black has spent his entire childhood being brainwashed by his eccentric Grandmother, Agnes. His whole life he has had horror stories of the Black Legacy thrown at him with no regard for his feelings, or what he wants for his own life. As Agnes edges closer and closer to death, harry is angered to find out that his inheritance will be delayed, he will not receive a single thing entitled to him until such time as he accept the legacy. As Harry believes it to be nothing but stories and the ramblings of an old woman, he doesn't understand how he is ever supposed to receive what is rightfully his. Until he realises that the recurring nightmare he's been having is more than just a nightmare. After witnessing an unexplainable situation, he starts to wonder whether all the stories Agnes told him really ARE just stories. What follows is a man unsure of his role in a war that has been raging for centuries, and the big bad that he believed to be nothing but myth turning it's sights onto the American Government in a bid to further their plans. Will Harry be able to rise to the challenge before him? Will he finally accept his legacy?

The concept of this story was very intriguing. A man who has no idea what he really comes from, believing it all to be nothing but childish stories and the end of life ramblings of his dying Grandmother, having his mind changed through out of this world situations that he realises he has no control over. The supernatural elements of this story were well thought out and connect flawlessly, the small twists and turns were executed brilliantly and I applaud Brown for this.

The characters were great. I especially liked Agnes and Boone, I loved their involvement in the overall story and that ending was bittersweet. Boone was probably my favourite character if I'm honest. Harry was likable and I feel that he portrayed the skeptic turned believer very well. It annoys me in stories when these absolutely fantastical things are happening, the main character is a skeptic, and then is suddenly turned into a complete believer with no questions. This isn't how it happens with Harry, he fights it until he's blue in the face before being confronted with irrefutable evidence to the contrary, making his transition believable.

I loved the addition of the Grigori, I thought they were an awesome aspect of the story as well as the safe haven that is Black Manor. One thing this author does well, is sow the seeds of doubt with certain characters. I actually felt how Harry must have, I didn't know who to trust, I didn't know if I could actually trust anyone, and that is a mark of a great writer. Being able to instill the reader with the feelings of the characters.

I felt the beginning third of the book was very slow. I understand that there was a lot of information needed to be able to understand what was going on, but I found the focus on the political aspect to be a bit boring. Yes, I'm aware that this was basically the whole purpose of the bad guys in this story, getting a political hold on the US, but I felt that maybe there was too much time given to this portion of the story? I'm not too sure. It just dragged for me. Once things started happening the pacing picked up considerably. This only took me four days to read, but it felt like it took so much longer. I almost considered DNFing this story but decided to stick with it as I hate not finishing books, especially those that I requested for reviewing purposes. I'm glad that I stuck with it, but the story overall didn't have that WOW factor that I look for in books. It was an entertaining enough story, the characters were likable, it was well written and thought out, it just came out as a mediocre read for me.

Excellent reading material that kept me awake deep into the night. I enjoyed reading every single page. The story was well plotted, it has nice flow and the characters are wonderfully built. I haven't read paranormal for some time and I had nice time with it. I can't wait to read the next book by this author.

This book's description made me request it although I was not short of thrillers. I went in with no expectations, but it was a quite nice surprise. It was a solid, entertaining paranormal thriller.
I really liked the pace, it didn't bore me at all. It was nice to try to guess what's happening. The writing was simple, but engaging.
Overall, a very pleasant experience. In its genre, it's a very good option.
Thanks a lot to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a fun read. It was well crafted and suspenseful. I don’t generally read paranormal thrillers but I was quite drawn to this book after reading it's description and actually enjoyed it. It was quite a page turner and managed to keep my attention to the very end. It is fast-paced and had me guessing ‘til the very end. Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the providing me ARC in exchange of my honest review.
