Legacy of Shadows Series, Book 1

De: Jen Karner

Narrado por: Amy Landon

Paranormal Hunter Dani Black wants nothing more ardently than she does revenge. A year ago, the rogue Necromancer Spectre murdered her partner during a hunt gone wrong, and she's been looking for a way to kill him - and keep him dead - ever since. When rumors of a weapon capable of killing anything surfaces in Dawson, Maryland, she sets out on a mission to get her hands on it. While unraveling a web of clues about her own past, Dani runs into the alluring Emilie Lockgrove, eldest daughter of a magical family who are inexplicably tied to Spectre.

Emilie Lockgrove survived the catastrophic fire that killed her mother and hospitalized both her and her sister. Ten years later, she has returned to Dawson, expecting to confront the trauma of her past and move on. Instead, she discovers magic is real and encounters actual ghosts, namely the necromancer who has been hunting her family for 200 years.

Dani intends to kill Spectre, or die trying. Emilie wants to reclaim her life and her memories of the magic protecting her from Spectre. To survive, they'll need to work together to confront their past, break the spell holding back Emilie's magic, and destroy Spectre once and for all.

good story, great characters, on point dialog

A good modern supernatural fantasy brought to life in an entertaining way. Great world building presented through the lens of the characters. Love how realistic the dialog, external and internal, is and how it plays out in an informal fashion.

A good start to a paranormal series.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were well thought out and the story flowed at a decent pace. I like the magical mechanics of the world and am ready to see the sequel to know more of how everything works.

I really enjoyed this book!!!

Very well written, good characters, excellent storyline. The narration was pretty good as well! Can't wait to see what else this Author has in store!!

Great!

The author gets her hooks in deep early on. i literally could not stop listening, putting it on every chance I had. Then she leaves you yearning for more of this world's lore and hope for more adventures of the heroines to come.

wow

so much to say but let me start by recommending this action packed story. There is so much left untold and I'm excited to see what becomes of Emily. Lots of power and potential there from both sides of her family. Also more on valkyrie. If you know... you know! Great Narrator, too. 5 stars all round.
