Legacy of Succession by Anna Edwards
Review by Amy W. I have no doubt my gravestone will read, 'Here lies, the honorable Victoria Hamilton. She died of boredom, but at least, her reputation was intact.' I had never read any of Anna Edwards work prior to this, but I just had to get my hands on this book. The synopsis, the cover, I was drawn in.Legacy of Succession promised to be my kind of read, and it did not disappoint. No man will dare go against the society. Nobody of rank within it ever has, and nobody ever will. Money, it's the one thing we all crave, and we'd even sell our daughters just to get it or, in this case, to keep it. Victoria was raised in seclusion. Her only friend has been away at university and is due to come back soon. Victoria has just turned 21 and can't wait to, with daddy's permission, have a little fun. But all her dreams go up in smoke when she arrives at Oakfield Hall and realizes joining society may be the death of her. "You may have known you would become a monster, but I had no idea I would become your victim." Lord above, this is one dark and twisted book. I absolutely love the idea of the society, I do not love the society calm your tits! I just like the idea behind it. This story was unique and I enjoyed meeting each character along the way. There were a few unexpected moments where I was surprised so and so did what they did, but also greatly relieved because yeah it needed to happen. Victoria was not a shy and meek character like you would expect from her background, she was unapologetic and stood up for what she believed in. Nicholas, what to say about Nicholas. He is a grade A a hole to the highest degree. But oh so hot! Plus, he can be sweet when he wants. I was a fool to believe he might have kindness in him. He's lost--lost to the devil that is his father. I'm going to die. I'm twenty-one years old, a baby, and my life's over. I fell in love with a few of these characters, Nicholas of course, Victoria most definitely, but also Reggie and William. I am hoping that at some point we get to know what happened to Joanna and get to finally meet Theo. But before any of that we get book two and it is William's book and OMG I am so excited!!! From the first mention of William I was praying that he would be a character I would get more of, but really Anna, December???? I don't know if I can wait that long! If you like dark and dirty romances then you need to pick this one up!! **ARC provided by author for honest review**
