Legacy of Lies by Jillian David
5.0
Sara Lopez has gone back to her hometown to work. And her job puts her into the same space as an adolescent crush. Garrison Taggart is a single dad trying to do the best he can. He owns his own business but there seems to be a mystery that I find myself wanting to solve. One character to watch out for is Hank Brands. He was creepy and an odd duck to say the least. The scene-stealer of the story is Garrison’s son Zach. You won’t see him much but he leaves an impact.
The author has weaved a great story but she also takes the time to broach the subject of bullying. And Ms. David went beyond just child bullying but we have the adults getting into the act as well. This was listed under the paranormal category but the tone in the story was very subtle. Don’t get me wrong, you will know that it’s there but for me it was all about watching Sara fight the stigma of her childhood and using that to help a little boy and his father. It was an all around story to enjoy. Our author creates a world that sucks the reader in and you end up with a vested interest in her characters. It’s a roller coaster ride that you will not want to get off.
My disappointment came when I ask myself “why have I never heard of this author before?” Then I realize that this has now changed and I’m interested in seeing where this series is going to go. This is a spinoff of another series so I’ll have to make sure to check that one out as well. The good news is that if this is the first book you’ve read from this author, you can enjoy that series at another time. It’s not needed to understand what is taking place between the Taggart’s and the Brand’s.
