     I am Levy Michaels. Once my kind were the hunters—now we are the hunted

     Supernaturals are out of the closet but I have to stay hidden because of the type of magic I possess. I’m a Legacy. It sounds like the title should come with reverence, a trust fund, or at the very least a cool backstory—instead it comes with a death sentence. 

     I have to hide in plain sight and pretend to be just human. I’m pretty good at it. I live a simple and somewhat normal life, and I work in antique acquisitions. Everything’s going fine until a dangerous and enchanted dagger that was once in my possession is stolen. I didn’t think things could get any worse until I woke up next to a dead shifter, fae, and mage, without any memory of the past twenty-four hours. 

     Considered guilty of murder by most of the magical community and humans, I must work with Gareth, the sexy and dangerous leader of the Supernatural Guild. If he’s as good as rumored, it’s only a matter of time until he discovers the truth about me—then being found guilty of murder is the least of my worries.

     First person POV is not my thing and I find myself dreading it when I want to read a book so badly because of the cover or the description only to find out is in first person. But there are some times when it has paid off my taking the risk since I am a person that cannot not finish a book even if it's horrible. I am glad I did take a risk with this book.

     Levy Michaels is being hunted because of who she is and not what she has done. She is in hiding and staying away from anything or anyone that can figure out who she is. Even when people try to kill her she deals with them without resorting to killing.

     After she is found at the site a a triple murder with no memory of what happened she must find out what happened to her and why. She must do this at the same time as she has to dodge the incessant questioning from the head of the Guild a shapeshifter that can smell the magic on her.

     From the moment I opened this book I was hooked. Levy is quirky and strong and I just loved her. There were some parts where I found things repetitive but it wasn't something big. I was left with some questions that I hope are answered in one of the following books but this one ended great. It just left you with enough unanswered questions to pike your interest to keep reading the series.
