Legacy (Anna Strong, Vampire Chronicles, Book 4) by Jeanne C. Stein


Anna Strong is still coming to terms with being a vampire. Turned against her will, she wishes to live among humans, despite her new restrictions. Granted, she takes care of her bloodlust inconspiciously, but she still hasn't let her family know about her nightlife.

Anna is also a bounty hunter, but in this installation, she isn't hunting. Instead, her partner David's ex-girlfriend Gloria needs her help. Gloria is being framed for murder and she wants Anna to figure out who actually did the crime so she can be released.

Meanwhile, Anna's family suddenly inherits a wine chateau in France and wants to move their immediately. Anna isn't sure how to break the news to them that she won't be going with them. Anna is also meeting with a werewolf who wants the property that Anna's sire Avery left her. Even though she has no desire to keep the property, she can't stay away from the beautiful Sandra when she requests to meet. Something isn't right with the situation, and Anna will need all of her wits if she wants to remain in her current lifestyle.

After reading the first three books in this series, I was really looking forward to Legacy. Even though Anna is slowly evolving into a strong character, the plot was thin and weak in this installation. But that won't deter me from reading the next in the series! I love watching how Anna acts and reacts in her world.

  1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Wendy!

    Sorry the book didn't hold up to the previous installments. However, hopefully it was a one off sort of thing and the next one will be a better read for you. ;)

    Best

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
