Legacy

My thoughts

Cover: This cover is one of my favorites, the color scheme. The fog in the upper right corner and Peter and Katy coming down the stairs, dunno put I think it depicts a scene.

Book: I saw this earlier in the year , added it to read and forgot totally about it. In a Simon Shuster galley grab [what???s that ?info galley grab] it felt familiar . Downloaded and forgot it again. Time past and there were only 12 hours left to read it, I challenged myself and read it nonstop with small breaks in 10 hours. Proud of myself , don???t get worried I???m in my winter break now. School work has not been affected.


Katherine Jessivar gets dumped at a boarding school in Whitfield, Massachusetts by her father, Harrison Jessivar, and his new girlfriend. . To burden her more every kid at her new school hates her. Because she???s an Ainsworth. Takes in the start of the school year.

Katy felt flat for me bu after the 200 mark started to care a bit by bit. At the moment when she admitted her real name I really liked her.

Peter is tortured, I can???t spoil but what a tortured boy he was, his heritage was a contributor. He was not the swooniest male protagonist, somewhat charming but liked him. I did not know why there were attracted to each other after disliking each other for a while there in love; a minor insta- love. I said a minor. There was love and less lust, said less. That does not mean not existed. They almost di??????

Heck I had them around me for 1 to 400 pages, they grow on you. That was less positive for me.

There were no real parental figures present. They tried their best to be that but a couple characters came close. Her dad, he himself detaches from her emotionally but progressed but not enough for me.

Whitfield is strange and weird, the people seem olden time like and frequently mysterious fog appears in the meadow. This is a paranormal Young Adult. It???s about witches not harry potter's secret world . Just a normal town where a large part is descended from the them. I liked the world building. Everything is nature based. Everywhere there???s magic they reminded me a lot of druids

The chapters look like a old book and are in time slots in coordination with wiccan holidays. A thing I disliked was the 200 pages of not a lot of action Because It took 200 pages before the real peril appeared. Named the Darkness, a entity not to be fooled with. I almost quit two times but now looking back for me at least those 200 pages were needed. Back-story, anecdotes type things, getting two no more about the characters.

There???s turmoil between families, in her family and mistrust. I liked how Miss Cochran did that. The digging and bringing secrets to light of her mom???s life, the town and prominent ancestors of Whitfield that where linked back Katy.

The Darkness was a great bad ‘‘guy''.

I have to say there are mixed review mine is more on the positive side It was pretty decent . I liked it and glad I had this experience. Have this left t say “Magic lies within”

Such a beautiful story. Even with the heartbreak... it was so powerful and I loved every second of it.

Amazing characters and brilliant storyline

Short review: The main story of this book is the story of the author. She started it at 13, had it published at 16, Amazon picked it up last fall as their first Encore book and she will turn 18 in Oct 2010. The story line is pretty standard. A 17 year old princess is being forced to marry a guy she doesn't like if she can't find a guy she does like. She finds a guy she likes, but her father objects for reasons I won't get into. It is a traditional fantasy romance. But it is well written. It ends on a cliff hanger and the second book is not out yet. I haven't been able to find a date for release, but every thing I see says it is written and ready for publication.
