I wasn't sure what to expect when I downloaded this but I had just finished reading 'Twisted' by the same author and loved her writing style and narrative so kind of bought this on auto pilot. I was happy to find that I was quickly pulled into the story. The characters were well fleshed out and the plot was really good. Although a simple plot about evil trying to corrupt and snuff out good, the manner in which it was executed was new and refreshing. I loved the fact that the author took her time building up the relationship between Gabe and Ava, it made the finale all the more heart wrenching. I eagerly await the next installment. I liked this book and look forward to reading the next installment. The book throws some twists into the plot both expected and unexpected. And honestly I didn't see the end coming.Ava is a good character not to weak as you get with some female protagonists and not so strong as to be unrealistic. She's relatable.Gabe's character makes a nice foil for Ava's everyday girl personality. He's the dark tortured soul burden by his own past, but you like him because even in all the bad he does you can see the glimmers at the beginning of the anti-hero.Also, as I saw in another review, thank goodness there is no love triangle. Honestly, the plot of this paranormal romance is so strong on its on that it didn't need one.
What do You think about Tainted Legacy (2000)?
I'm so glad the sequel was already out when I read this or I would've been dying waiting for it!
