Summary

True Blood meets Heroes.

My name is Sierra Reeves, and my life is built on lies. I’m not a regular girl. My telekinetic powers can flip the precarious balance between good and evil.

On the run from those that seek to use me as a weapon, I seek protection from the magic-bearing marshal Gavin McLoughlin. If anyone can teach me how to stay alive, it’s Gavin, a well-connected supernatural who hums with authority.

Too bad Gavin has no interest in training me. He doesn’t trust me and wants me to stay far away from him and his city.

I can’t. I need him, and I’m driven to him like a moth to the flame.

I don’t care how hard I’ll have to fight to get into his inner circle, I won’t give up. But just as I make the tiniest bit of progress with Mr. Stubborn, corpses sprout like mushrooms all over Savannah. If I’m not careful, I will be next....

Dive into Dark Legacy, the first book in a new YA paranormal series filled with magic, mystery, and romance.

If you enjoyed Shadowhunters, True Blood, and Vampire Diaries, you’ll love this YA urban fantasy!

hooked

Wow. This book had me hooked. When it first started I was a bit like right ok let see
Then it went straight into it without really giving anything way. I loved how Gran was described and how the love between them didn’t have to be over explained but you knew.
From there it just went from strength to strength
Well done can’t wait to read the next chapter

Great story

This was an unusual world with interesting new paranormal, A coming of age romantic adventure.
Fast paced, often dark storyline but with some intruiging characters.
I look forward 2 seeing where this story goes in the next book.
Great narration.

your life is not how you know it

Sierra grew up not knowing anything about her life. She must trust people that don't trust her. Gavin is the one person to help keep her safe but does not want to be in the same place as her.This book has it all loss and danger in the first page till the last.Margo Ryerkerk is a great story teller and I can't wait to see how the story ends

good story

I liked the story line so far and the characters with the world build but I had a hard time listening to the narration. Can't place my finger on it but her voice made it hard to keep up with what she was saying. still a good story though.

Great start to the series.

Sierra was at her graduation when her Grandmother said they had to leave and to pack what things she needed. When someone tried to kill them Sierra realised what she had just been told might be true and her life really was in danger. Really enjoyed listening to this the story was great and the characters drew me in and I’m looking forward to book 2.

Good start

I enjoyed Dark Legacy. I thought the mystery, the world building and writing style were all good and entertaining. Future books promise to be interesting and action packed. I do think book 1 was like a lot of first books in a series in that a lot of time is spent on less answers and more building to the next level. Not a bad thing really just typical of book 1.

I will say the narrators delivery of the book wasn't quite there for me. I don't know if its the way she stresses things or what. I'm not saying its bad per se just didn't reel me in by the voice alone. But I do think that's just as easily in the ear of the beholder than anything else.

A quite interesting story let down by narration

There were good parts to this audiobook - interesting characters, and a mystery to ponder, but I found it hard to sink into and really enjoy it. There were details about some of the characters that were hinted at but never really explained. This may come in a future book, but it was a shame not to give more information in this one. There were bits of the story I found frustrating as well. The narration let the book down for me too. The different accents required for some side characters would challenge any narrator I think, but even with the main characters the story wasn't read smoothly and I couldn't relax into it. It wasn't necessarily a bad book and I'm sorry I didn't enjoy it more, hopefully things might improve in the rest of the series.

Shadowhunters.... But better😉

This is the first book in a new YA paranormal series filled with magic, mystery, and romance.

Sierra Reeves's life is built on a house of lies.

Gavin McLoughlin is a well-connected supernatural who hums with authority.

Sierra and Gavin are opposites in every way but their paths can't help but enterwine and bring these two together!!

If you loved Shadowhunters you will definitely love this one!


The narration was enjoyable.

Dark Legacy

okay this book started off really good and then it just gets better from there. A girl loses her family and she's being Hunted by other super natural. some want her dead and some want her for her power and what she can do for them. but of course she just found out herself that she was a super natural and really doesn't know how to use her power so there's this one guy that can help her in a way but he's also her Protector. as time goes by he starts to have feelings for her. but he fights the feelings and pushes her away. but anyways you guys have to read /listen to this book it's really good that I think your going to love it. I know I did. the narrator did an amazing job too.

Drew me in from the start!

Dark Legacy by Margo Ryerkerk and narrated by Winona Owen is the first book in The Dark Legacy Series. We meet Sierra at her high school graduation, at which her entire life is turned upside down. On the run from those who want to use her, she meets Gavin, a marshal for the magic community. Left under his protection, Sierras' life becomes out of control, and people around her are being killed. Finding out she isn't who she has always been told, and trying to get her magical powers under control, her life is no longer what she expected it to be.
I was drawn in immediately. The world building is amazing, the characters are vivacious and full of personality, and the narration is well done, with each character having their own voice.
Would I listen to this book again? Yes
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes

Excellent paranormal (YA great)

I received this audiobook free for an honest review as a member of Pink Flamingo Productions Review Team. The author brings you in and doesn't let you go. This a very complex paranormal. I love a young woman finding out she has power and discovers the extent. There is still more to the story that I assume will be revealed in future books. Loved the characters in this book. The romance of Sierra and Gavin is touch and go. Very exciting. The narrator does an excellent job with the characters, their personalities and the overall story. Looking forward to more books in this series.

Such a fun ride!

This was such a fast pace read for me. The beginning of the story certainly grabs your attention and the mystery of who can be trusted is great. If you enjoy a slow burn romance and a fantasy story with a bit of mystery then consider picking this one up.
