Dark Legacy Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 471 ratings

"Oh, my gosh, the opening pages of Dark Legacy are some of the most riveting I’ve read. The setup of the multifaceted conflict is haunting, grisly and wonderfully thrilling, and the slow, solid build of excited dread will absolutely keep your pages turning." --Kathy Altman, USA Today Happy Ever After Blog.Rhys EvansFourteen years…For fourteen years he’d lived with the certainty that they’d caught the right guy…convicted the right guy…punished the right guy. While life behind bars didn’t make up for what the bastard had done, the families he’d destroyed, or the lives he’d stolen, the fact he’d died a broken, lonely man locked in a cell had been a small comfort. But now Ariel Hamilton was back—the onetime love of his life and the daughter of Dark Fall’s infamous serial killer. She rolled into town with her snarky smile, furious eyes and baseless accusations of police corruption. Damn it to hell, Hamilton had been the X-factor killer, Rhys was certain of that—no matter how desperately Ariel was trying to prove him wrong. Ariel HamiltonFourteen years… For fourteen years she’d lived with the knowledge her father had been framed, and watched him waste away in prison for crimes he hadn’t committed. Nobody had believed her back then. Even Rhys, the boy she’d loved with all her heart, had walked away. It had been a hard lesson, but she’d learned it well—count on no one. Well she finally had proof of her dad’s innocence. Proof that Dark Falls police department had framed an innocent man and covered it up…were still covering it up. She wasn’t nineteen anymore, she wouldn’t be cowed and ran out of town. She’d stay and fight to clear her father’s name. Even if that meant drawing the real killer out…even if that meant making herself a target and losing a second chance with the only man she’d ever loved.Review Snippets!"Trish McCallan excels at giving you exactly what you’re not expecting. She doesn’t keep coy about the likeliest revelations, but puts that information right out there and chooses other avenues for amping up the mystery, and the stakes. Everything is at risk for Rhys and Ariel — their livelihoods, their self-respect, their entire belief system and their resurrected feelings for each other. And you know their lives are on the line, too....the author makes it completely believable that despite the fact that Rhys is part of a police department Ariel considers corrupt, and Rhys can’t comprehend Ariel’s refusal to accept her father’s guilt, these two are still seriously attracted to each other. Their desire heightens the tense and desperate tone of the story in a big way. But McCallan also puts to deft use some lighter, amusing moments to alleviate the tension when the reader needs a break — and a reminder of why this couple is so worth rooting for. They are both incredibly determined and loyal to the causes and people they love. ." --Kathy Altman, USA Today Happy Ever After blog."I loved this book, it was action packed and Ariel was so kick ass. She is extremely smart and funny, especially with Rhys. Although they had some difficulties and conflict throughout they managed to come together at the end. The twists and turns of the book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time."

4 Star Legacy
This romantic suspense is a mind blowing and thrilling read that readers can really sink their teeth into. Ariel and Rhys are strong, captivating characters that make it easy for readers to connect which in turn makes it easy for them to become completely caught up in the story. The chemistry between Rhys and Ariel sizzling with lots of electrical intensity that readers can feel leaping off the pages but it also has some strong emotional vibes flowing from the characters as well, which isn’t really surprising considering the situation these two are in. The past relationship between the hero and heroine play an integral part in the story and is the cause of a lot of the emotional turbulence which keeps the outcome of their relationship in question. The plot is steady to fast paced and steadily builds the suspense throughout which keeps readers glued to the pages as a sixteen year old crime begins to unravel and truths are revealed. Ariel was always convinced of her dad’s innocence while others including Rhys were sure that he was the infamous serial killer. This keeps emotions in constant turmoil while surprising twists and betrayals keep readers on the edge of their seat. The story takes place in an intriguing small town which adds ambiance to the story and as more information and evidence comes to light, everyone starts to realize the far reaching consequences of ‘what if they were wrong’ which ensures that there is never a dull moment to be found in this thrilling romantic suspense.

    I love second chances and reading about the one that got away. And the reason that Rhys and Ariel need a second chance is one of the most tragic I’ve come across. The story sucked me in and pulled me along for the ride. I didn’t want to put it down when distractions like my day job interrupted me. I can’t say that the true villain in this story was a big surprise to me, but I’m going to blame that on my own overly suspicious nature. I enjoyed this and look forward to reading the next in the series.

    I don't like to give negative reviews, but I'm not sure what happened to this story. It just stops at Chapter 9. Really would like to know how it ends. Not sure how it could be published this way and not caught. Don't like spending money for a book that's not complete. I feel sorry for the author if it's a publishing problem. IF they update the complete book, I will be happy to come back and alter the rating.

    UPDATE: I noticed one reviewer said they downloaded the book again. So I tried it and it worked for me. So, I altered the rating to 5 stars.

    This was a wonderful book and the people who got the wrong file should go back and download again. Ariel was a strong woman and was intelligent and definitely loyal. I loved her character as she gave as good as she got. She defended her father all the way and believed in him. Rhys was also a great character as a detective. Lots of action and a touch of steam. The two had great chemistry and the book was great. Loved this addition to Dark Falls.

    So I originally didn't get the full file and was upset about it, but the author contacted me and I got the full version. I was so happy with her response to the issue, she was great. I changed my review to accurately reflect my thoughts on the full version of the book.
    I loved this book, it was action packed and Ariel was so kick ass. She is extremely smart and funny, especially with Rhys. Although they had some difficulties and conflict throughout they managed to come together at the end. The twists and turns of the book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The only thing I would have liked to see, was what happened with her sister Ashley after her betrayal, and also if they confirm that her father was innocent or not. I was kind of waiting for that conclusion the whole time, I wanted her to be right, but there was no word on that so I was slightly disappointing with that. But overall, the book was great, as usual for Trish's books

    Author did a fantastic job of creating the characters and dialog for this thriller. There was enough misdirection thrown in to keep a reader totally entertained and wanting more with the turn of each page. This is a very emotional reader. And once the killer is revealed, the reader will wonder why they hadn't seen it sooner.

    A break up over one of their worst moments and now back together to see if they did not have all the facts right before. A detective and a crime writer with a past…can they work together to solve the crime and answer unresolved questions. Well written and fast paced this story was entertaining. The villain was predictable and so was the outcome, but the buildup of scenes and the gotcha moments were fun to read. Good characters and story. Looking forward to more from this series and the Ashley book from (sister) from this author.

    A 5 Star Book for Sure! The Suspence kept me turning page after page. The attraction and stress between the two main characters was great. I would have liked to have seen more between the two sisters, gone deeper into why the one turned in her father. I would have liked to see the antagonist portrayed as a darker sociopath with darker and deeper reasons for the killings. I would recommend this book as a good read!
