Since the death of her parents, Madeleine Niteclif's grief was unbearable until she felt compelled to travel to England and find Stonehenge, a place where wishes come true. Too bad she didn't pay attention to the old adage to be careful what you wish for. Maddy's wish for an alternate reality reveals her inheritance. She is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes, but not the fictional detective, but a man of living flesh. Maddy comes from a long line of detectives who investigate and bring justice to the supernatural community. With the acceptance of her family duty, Maddy inherits certain abilities that will help with the bizarre and exciting investigations.

To discover her sidekick, her Watson, is Bahlin, a shapeshifting dragon, can't be worse than learning that there are all manner of supernatural beings inhabiting the human realm. For years Bahlin has waited for his partner and mate. Gaining her trust is not an easy task, especially since he's holding back important information for her own safety. Being in the middle of both a dragon and a royal fae vying for her attention takes a backseat to the fact that one of the supernaturals wants Maddy dead. Topping it off, there is an enraged wizard who is stalking her. Pretty soon Maddy doesn't know who to trust and must rely on her own wits and the help of her dead ancestor to stay alive. Maddy is the most imperfect heroine I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She made me laugh and cry while her counterpart is a charming bad boy.

A perfect blend of humor, suspense, and nonstop action kept me glued to the pages of LEGACY. The intricate plotting made it hard to detect the villain which made for a surprise ending. I hated for this book to end and for a debut book, that is saying a lot. I urge paranormal lovers to run out and purchase this book. You won't be sorry except for having to wait for the next chapter in the life of Maddy Niteclif.
