Out of the wholes series A Cold Legacy is my favorite. Megan Shepherd created and amazing story full of horror, action and romance that kept me wishing for more.

Juliet, Montgomery, Balthazar, Lucy, and Edward have escaped London after killing three of the men who were going to steal her father's research. But not only do they have to worry about Lucy's father hunting them down, Edward is deathly ill and if you doesn't get the medical attention he desperately needs he won't make it. Soon after arriving at Elizabeth's manor in Scotland. Juliet learns things about herself, as well as the inhabitants of the house that will change her life forever.

In my review of Her Dark Curiosity I mentioned how I felt Juliet made horrible decisions and she wasn't the kick ass heroine that she was in the first book. I take that back. In A Cold Legacy Juliet totally becomes that heroine that I knew she could be. Of course, she still makes stupid decisions with out thinking them through, but I figured out that that is her character. Over all though I am happy with Juliet turns out to be, how she has grown and changed since the first book.

A Cold Legacy has an interesting mix of characters, some of which I enjoyed. Others annoyed the hell out of me. I liked Valentina's character at first, I was curious of her past, why her hands were a different color from the rest of her body and why she was so desperate to become the heir of the manor. Then she took a turn and became frustrating. Balthazar is a character that will always hold a place in my heart. I loved every scene he was in, his loyalty, his kindness. If anything good came out of that island it was Balthazar.

The love triangle is solved, finally! The whole thing was so sweet and cute. There are so many feels involved though, so don't say I didn't warn you before hand. A Cold Legacy was just a book that did nothing but evoke a ton of feels.

I have nothing bad to say. I loved everything about this book, as well as this series. The ending of A Cold Legacy was bitter sweet, I finished the last page with tears in my eyes. Good or bad? I won't say, let me leave it at that. I am really looking forward to future books by Megan Shepherd.

This Series was absolutely beautiful, I couldn't complain about the characters and the plot. I only have one more book by Megan Shepherd left to read I've read everything by her though I read The Cage series first! I absolutely LOVE this author I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

I loved this book so much! Especially since Juliet is now married to Montgomery. I felt bad for Edward though, because Juliet brought him back because she was helping Lucy but then when Lucy died, Edward didn't really have anyone. I cried so hard when Lucy died that i thought I was going to burst from anger and sadness. This was definitely one of my favorites of the series and I will totally marathon this series again sometime.

I didn't love this book that much, but I didn't really hate this book either.

What bothered me the most was Juliet's character. She is so selfish. I didn't understand some of her decisions. A little bit silly and stupid sometimes. I didn't like Lucy too. All she is thinking about is Edward. And when Lucy suggested Juliet to
Spoilerbring back Edward from death
, Juliet accepted it with ridiculous rationalizations that really piss me off *deep sigh*
