Really good read! Loved that even though legacy was a “good girl” she was still a BA and could hold her own in a fight and win. Love that even though the moon goddess chose someone for her she made her our fate and chose different after the first one.

Great start, disappointing in the final third.
Started out so well, even with the younger sounding feel to it.
Was well written, with an interesting plot, good dialogue, and just enough description, without it distracting from the pace.
Then approx in the last 1/3, it started shifting.
First it was an issue of repetition, both in word use, and information. There was also some small issues with story continuity, where previous conditions and rules seemed to be forgotten or ignored. This continued to worsen as the story progressed. We went from creative storytelling, to numerous classic mistakes-tropes.
Such as; serious injures miraculously disappearing from one moment to the next; villains swinging from being brilliant and superb strategists, to crazy, predictable, and unintelligent; further, who can’t be defeated and repeatedly and miraculously escaping (while all the red-shirts are killed or caught); to being effortlessly overcome by the hero’s at the appropriate moment; fighting skills that improved or disappeared according to the plot direction; and dialogue that became stilted and cringeworthy.
By the end, it was all schmaltzy and very predictable, with the conflict resolutions suddenly all too easy and simplistic. Solutions so straight forward, you have to wonder why they weren’t attempted sooner?
A sad way to finish a story that started out with such strong promise.
I have to wonder if the author was on a tightening deadline, or just in a hurry to finish? It read as if that last section was still an early draft awaiting editing…
Regardless, it’s still worth reading, and has more than enough early on, to make the effort of skimming or filling in where required, to be an acceptable compromise in order to reach its conclusion.

Got a love a good stand alone
Legacy is an 18-year-old Wolf. Who has found her made in the pack leader son Lucas. However, she is being stocked and targeted by a vampire with who she comes to blows. Our girl Legacy is no punk in stands up; however, she breaks the pack rules of secrecy. And is exiled from the pack along with three other wolves who broke the rules years ago. Now she’s at a haunted island with three crazy wolves, and no one believes her about the vampire stalking her. maybe that’s all she needs anyway!
This was an excellent standalone. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good ghost story with shifters, vampires, and rejected mates!

A very enjoyable rejected mates wolf shifter standalone! I REALLY loved the FMC and Rhett. They felt like such refreshing, light-hearted characters despite the circumstances.

Needs some editing and readers to catch the many inconsistencies that appeared throughout the book. I stopped keeping track of them after a while, but the most egregious was the FMC somehow (off page) developing a connection with the ghosts of the manor and vowing to come back to help them, and then later swearing that she didn't ever want to go back to the island and only going back because she was forced to. She said and did whatever was needed when it was needed, and then it was like it was forgotten later. Or like how one neither comments that the woman at the bar they often went to was supposedly into his brother, but when they later actually went there with the FMC, she had her own harem of men and she only barely tolerated the MMCs.
This storyline was so, so, so good, but the execution left a lot to be desired. Everything emotional happens off the page so I have idea how a relationship developed between not only the FMC and her guys, but also how or when the guys forgave each other, or even when they decided to share, because it all just sort of happened whenever it was most convenient for the story, no matter what had previously happened in the pages just before.
Things are just rushed through so by the end of the book it still felt like only a few days had passed, but it was actually weeks. One relationship is severely underdeveloped while the majority of the time is spent on the other two relationships. The ending didn't give us much, and we barely got a few sentences about how things were wrapped up, and nothing about how they were settling into their new roles and lives together. I really just wish we had gotten more from this story than we did because it's one of my favorite tropes.
Spoilery edit: I forgot to mention how sis went from being a virgin to riding on top her first time with zero instruction and was *good* at it (because of course), to having sex again a few hours later with another virgin in the exact same way, to MINUTES later becoming a double stuffed oreo with both men, with the newly non-virgin taking her ass. I just--what in the Wattpad is this??

This was an OK read, nothing too thrilling and it did seem to move very fast but that’s because it is a stand alone book.
Plot was intriguing but the whole Ghost thing kind of put me off a bit. I felt like the end was a cop out, they should have taken Lucas and Cyrus back to the pack and showed them for what they are.
There could have been a lot more to do with the vampires in this as they were obviously a huge part of this book but appeared for only a short amount of time.
It was ok but it won’t be a re read for me.
