Emily is a strong, feisty young lady who needs help navigating her current crazy situation. She doesn’t know who or where she is. She thinks, “I don’t even know what I’m running from. What propels a person to leave her life, fake her death, and start over in a tiny-town in Maine? And if it’s that bad, why didn’t I relocate to Greenland or better yet Fiji? The packet with my driver’s license and letter to myself contained 18 thousand dollars. A person can do a lot of disappearing with money like that.”
She’s stumped. Someone is out to kill her. Two men want to protect her. She has to trust somebody and quick. But who?
Tosca Lee pulls out all the stops in this captivating, suspenseful story filled with rich historical detail, in a modern setting that blasts off in Maine then takes readers to Europe and introduces them to a secret society, layered with people who have paranormal gifts. I was drawn into this believable Progeny culture hook-line and sinker.
Just when Audra (and the reader) think things are figured out something happens that shakes up her circumstances and brings about a new reality. This is a riveting tale that makes for an amazing ride, filled with drama, action, and a splash of romance. Warning - you’ll be up late reading this one. This is a novel with a cliff hanger, but good news -- book two of the series Descendants of the House of Bathory, titled Firstborn, is already out!
