I didn't want to end this book.
Simply because I knew I'd then have to wait a while for the final instalment, and frankly, I can't get enough of these characters. Nicola Rose does one awesome job of twisting your head and your impressions of the storyline and characters with this one. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but boy!! Are you in for a ride, if you've read Taste the Dark and area about to get started on Burn. It is amazing the way she directs us towards the truth, simply by letting us inside the heads of her characters. It is also amazing the way these same characters evolve and grow before our eyes, and if once before you hated some, you'll be finding yourself swooning over them now. The author manipulates us as the vamps manipulate Jess, and we do feel a bit like her, being played around by these hot, hot, dangerous messes that are the Elwood twins. Seriously, you don't even realise you're being led, such is the masterful way in which Nicola guides you through the story, until you reach the end with a clamouring doubt in your head, much like Jess should: who do you trust?
Honestly cannot wait for the final book! More and more Nicola Rose is becoming one of my fave authors on the indie scene.

*This is book 2 in the Legacy trilogy and Taste the Dark book 1 must be read first.
When Jess is taken by the Bael, it forces Zac to finally go through with the Elwood Legacy for himself and his brother. Doing so frees the beast that he tried to keep locked up all his years. A beast that wants Jess's blood more than ever. And the only one left to protect her, is Alex, Zac's twin brother. Jess should hate him, but she needs him. And they need to work together to stop the Bael and save Zac. But the vampires aren't the only ones with something dark running through their veins. Will Jess be able to tap into her powers, to save Zac and Alex, and humanity as we know it, or will she doom them all?
I am still so enraptured with these books. There is a slow burn romance, hot vampires, powerful witches, a love triangle and the end of humanity hanging in the balance. I love seeing the characters in a new light- and from a different perspective. I loved watching these characters grow and the battle that they faced. And I loved learning more about Alex since he was def a favorite in the first book. This book had action, suspense, danger, the sizzle of slow burning romance, and power. If you are looking for paranormal romances then I def recommend the Elwood Legacy trilogy! I cannot wait to find out what happens next to Jess, Alex, and Zac and the rest of the characters in the final installment.
