LEGACY (ANNA STRONG VAMPIRE CHRONICLES, BOOK 4

i JUST RECENTLY BEGAN READING BOOKS WITH VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES. LEGACY IS NUMBER ONE IN MY OPINION AND I LOVED IT, COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN HAD TO READ IT IN ONE NIGHT AND THAN WAS UPSET AT MYSELF BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER TO START RIGHT AWAY. BUT I WAS RIGHT IN THERE FANTASIZING THAT I WAS ANNA AND THE HARDSHIP SHE HAD TO ENDURE WHEN HER FAMILY WAS LEAVING AND HER KNOWING SHE COULDN'T GO WITH THEM. GLAD SHE WANTED TO STAY "HUMAN" EVEN THOUGH SHE NEVER WOULD BE AGAIN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ANNA, I'LL BE SEEING YOU IN THE FUTURE.

excellent urban fantasy

Bounty hunter Anna Strong has been a vampire for six months since she was attacked and changed against her will by the evil vampire Avery, who obsessed over her. She killed him and struggles to adapt to being a creature of the night in a human world especially since she refuses to kill for her sustenance. As a bounty hunter her partner is the mortal David, who remains blissfully ignorant of her supernatural world. Anna finds herself willing to help his girlfriend Gloria beat a murder rap in exchange for her keeping away from David. With the help of Gloria's stepson who hates his stepmother, he allows Anna access to his home where she finds evidence to give to the police so they can capture the real killer. Anna meets and is attracted to werewolf Sandra, who asserts she is Avery's widow. She is contesting Anna's claim to his estate. Anna is uninterested in Avery's estate but Sandra warns Anna that the holdings belong to her and her pack. Anna realizes those she cares about like David could be in danger from an apparent scorned female demanding her blood as much as the estate. Readers will enjoy the latest Anna Strong urban fantasy in which the paranormal world and its species seem natural especially living alongside humans. Anna is a ferociously independent individual used to fighting her own battles even when she was a mortal and with her vampiric skills more so. Even she knows life as she knew it is dramatically changing and her loved ones are in danger from whom and what she is. Fans of Kelly Armstrong and Kim Harrison will appreciate Anna's dispute with a female werewolf as alpha as she is. Harriet Klausner

Anna is still going Strong!

Legacy is the 4th book in the Anna Strong Vampire series, and she is still one tough chick - and she isn't afraid to let you know it. Anna, a bounty hunter, and vampire has only a few soft spots that are reserved for her family and her friendship with her bounty hunter partner David. She will go to the ends of the earth to protect those she loves, without ever letting them know her secret. The book starts out with Anna being emotionally defenseless when she accidentally meets up with Max her DEA ex boyfriend. It's not often we see her in this vulnerable situation, but from that point on she is determined to move on, only to find out that she is being targeted by the wife of the vampire who made her, a vampire she killed not all that long ago, and is probably the only one she is actually afraid of. Anna is not alone in her paranormal world either, she has an uneasy alliance with other vampires, shape shifters, and supernaturals, and although there are very few she trusts she has managed to make a few friends such as Daniel Frey, a teacher by day, and shape shifter by night. Each character is developed in a way that makes you actually feel as if you know them. The relationship between Anna and Chief Williams is so on edge you can almost feel the tension in the air and after four books you don't quite know if he's trustworthy or not, and neither does she. I have devoured each Anna Strong book as it came out and this one was no different. True to her name, Anna is a strong and compelling character, and you get the feeling that even if she weren't a vampire she could still kick some serious butt. I had a hard time putting this one down, yet didn't want it to end too soon. I finished it in less than a day, and it left me wanting more. I'm anxiously awaiting the 5th book in the series.
