The Legacies

Product Information

The Legacies is a twisty YA thriller that strikes an addictive balance between glitz and darkness. Think The Inheritance Games meets Gossip Girl with a dash of Euphoria. Goodman introduces us to the Legacy Club, a secret society for New York's richest elite. Every year, prospective members are tapped for an initiation week culminating in the glamorous Legacy Ball. Most new members are shoe-ins, children of existing Legacies and powerful families. But this year, the nomination of scholarship student Tori Tasso threatens to expose the dangerous secrets protected by the Club's elite, and not everyone will make it out alive... There's no such thing as 'one, true way'; the only answers worth having are the ones you find for yourself; leave the world better than you found it. Love, freedom, and the chance to do some good -- they're the things worth living and dying for, and if you aren't willing to die for the things worth living for, you might as well turn in your membership in the human race."

Spirit would have moments with Burke, like they’d be practicing together, walking alone together or dancing, but we got absolutely NOTHING. There were the barest of suggestions to some tension, but nothing came of it. There was really no indication that they liked each other, and one of them, usually Spirit, brought up the bad stuff they had to deal with to completely ruin the moment. They couldn’t go one conversation without bringing up that drama. Mercedes entered this world on June 24, 1950, in Chicago, had a normal childhood and graduated from Purdue University in 1972. During the late 70's she worked as an artist's model and then went into the computer programming field, ending up with American Airlines in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In addition to her fantasy writing, she has written lyrics for and recorded nearly fifty songs for Firebird Arts & Music, a small recording company specializing in science fiction folk music. Miss Corby, I have to say that these young persons have acted in the finest tradition of Oakhurst….And certainly there will be no demerits for any of you. Quite the contrary. Commendations all around, I should say. Yes indeed. Commendations. Splendid work. Excellent work…I’m sure I don’t need to tell you not to gossip about this. It would only upset your classmates. We wish them to think of Oakhurst as a place of safety. Of refuge. If you five have been forced to discover far too soon how fragile a refuge that is…I can only hope that strengthens your resolve to defend it on behalf of your friends. The day is coming, young warriors, when you will be called to a greater battlefield.” Legacies is a testament to the enduring power of the supernatural genre, offering a compelling and captivating story that has captured the hearts and imaginations of viewers around the world. From its origins as a book series by L. J. Smith to its successful TV adaptation, Legacies has continued to evolve and grow, building upon the rich history and mythology of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals while also forging its own unique path.

Success!

The characters themselves are... inoffensive. That's all. There isn't a real standout in the bunch. None of them annoyed me, but none of them were interesting enough that I could care about them beyond this book. Spirit's perspective was fine, but ultimately less than compelling. So no more Shadow Grail series for me. (While I'm on it, there's absolutely nothing about a grail, shadow or otherwise, anywhere in the book. I assume that will be important in later books, but it's a confusing title to slap on the whole series when it's completely irrelevent to everything that happens here.) The first season follows the events from February 25, 2028 til April 19, 2028, the second season follows the events from June 2028 til March 2029 and the third and fourth seasons follow the events of that spring. a lineage of secrets / a scholarship receiver / a high society secret / break ups / a missing mom / a mysterious murder / sabotage and manipulation

When Dr. Ambrosius has them all tell him about what happened, he’s pleased at their services to school exactly like Dumbledore was with Harry, Ron and Hermione. They’re talking about the Scryer, Edgar Abbott. ”His visions were as real to him as what was actually around him and nobody understood that he wasn’t crazy. The ‘drugs’ he’s on is just Ativan, and he doesn’t take it all the time.”Kids have been disappearing for 40 years, which sets the stage for a drawn out mystery at the school that took place in a time frame short enough for one of the staff to have witnessed it. Guess what that reminds me of. You got it folks, Harry Potter! The Chamber of Secrets . . . and the kids have to find the monster before any more kids are petrified. In this case, the kids have to find out what the Whatever is in time to prevent any more deaths from happening.
