Book Review: Legacy by Kate Kaynak


Summary (taken from Goodreads): 

Maddie has more problems than the average seventeen-year-old:
A psychotic killer with superpowers wants her dead.
A serious medical issue makes a "normal" life impossible for her.
And she's about to be introduced to Trevor's grandparents.
Guess which one freaks her out the most? The Ganzfield series continues in this third instalment.
My Review: 
Ok, this review is going to be a bit spoilerish this time, so if you haven't read the book keep reading at your own risk!
Did I say that the series gets better & better? By the time of Soulmate the Ganzfield series is going to be a masterpiece! 
I have to say, the cover might trick you into something that technically hasn't happened... to her. Kate made me read the teaser way before I started the book and I was like: "Are you kidding me? This can't be happening!" This time I will go into some details as there are opinions I would like to share for certain happened facts. 
For starters, I didn't realize Maddie couldn't talk anymore. I mean, I knew Isaiah damaged her but I didn't understand the damage was permanent. It was so heartbreaking, but at least she can still talk into people's heads. 
Rachel's pregnant (you're not fooling me, I know everyone who read the teaser thought it was Maddie!). How sweet, and I liked that now she's good friends with Maddie. 
The part with Trevor's family was really sad. I felt sorry that Archer died, it was really unexpected. But sadder is the fact that Trevor's family doesn't love/want him. Also, it was pretty predictable that they would blame him. 
Let's see... what's next? Oh yes, Zack & Ann. I didn't particularly enjoy this new romance. But then, these are characters I'm not interested in that much, so never mind. Uhm... And then there's Belinda... There is so much I could say about her but it's all made by swearwords so I don't think I'll post them here :P 
The last part of the book, where all the action took place, was amazing, so breathtaking I couldn't keep my eyes off of the book!
I found only one negative note in all of this: Maddie's mom. She lives in Ganzfield now as in Adversary we found out that she's a G-positive too. I really can't stand when parents are not involved in the kid's life and then, when they suddenly become, they start bossing around. It really felt like reading about Clary's mom (The  Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare). 
I now can't wait to get my hands on Accused... I'm pretty sure it's gonna be fun!

  3. That's exactly what I thought when Kate made me read the teaser... I was like: "Ok, when did they have sex????"
