Book Description
The legacy continues…
It’s a gritty new world.
Three decades after the events of REAPER, the world is a different place. The secret is out. The existence of demons, vampires, shapeshifters, and angels has been revealed, and humans are struggling to adapt. Out of the chaos, The Aegis has risen to global power on the promise of containing or exterminating all underworlders, even if that means ushering in the End of Days.
Standing in their way is the next generation of warriors, the children of demons and angels and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
See how they become legends in their own right.
Legacy of Desire
Scotland, daughter of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as War and a formidable warrior in her own right, has dedicated her life to fighting evil with her two demon best friends, Mace and Blade. Their extraordinary bond and uncanny ability to operate in perfect unison has made them legends as special operators with the Demonic Activity Response Team.
Afraid of ruining a good thing, the three teammates swore a pact to protect their friendship by declaring romantic involvement off-limits. But a recent near-tragedy changed things, and it’s getting harder for Mace and Blade to ignore their long suppressed feelings for Scotty. Especially after she announced her intention of losing her virginity and enlisted their help to find the right guy for the task.
So when a routine assignment goes wrong, landing one teammate in the hospital and the other in Scotty’s arms, the fallout puts their team, their reputations, and complete innocents, at risk. Scotty will need to make a choice, but how can she possibly decide between two males she loves equally? All the while, an enemy lurks in the shadows, poised to strike, and an angel finds himself at a crossroads that will test his faith and, perhaps, determine the very future of Heaven and all mankind.
My Review
I read the Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series and loved it, so I was really looking forward to reading this book as well as the others in this series since this contains some of the kids of the characters from those series. This sounded like it would be fun and I was right. This is the 3rd book in this series, and I did read the first book, Legacy of Temptation but I still need to read the 2nd book.
Scotty, Blade and Mace are friends, and this book is about them. They grew up together and all wanted to be a part of DART. I liked getting a bit of a backstory as to how they became friends and what's been going on since the last book in the Demonica series I read. It was nice seeing some of the old characters as well.
As with most of Larissa Ione's books, this has quite a bit of action and romance and I expected that, but it also has a lot of world building into what's going on in this world now. They are a part of DART which is the Demonic Activity Response Team.
Because demons were set free years ago, there's a chance that the horsemen's mother, Lilith was also free and if that were the case, the offspring of the horsemen were in danger. Mother dearest was not maternal at all and would want her children to suffer.
Scotty and some others were searching for Harvester's blood so they could bring back her grandma. There was a lot going on with this and a lot of secrets were revealed as the story unfolded as to what happened to Harvester.
But when the 3 of them get sent on a mission to hunt down a Wendigo, things don't go as planned. And the three of them will never be the same. Between the angels, demons, and trying to bring Harvester back from the dead, there's so much going on. Mace, Scotty and Blade have to find a way to get through what is happening between them and fix things but they have no idea how to do that.
Having read the Lords of Deliverance series and getting to know the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it was fun to see their kids getting their own stories.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Disclosure: I was given an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
