I didn‘t know exactly where our paths would lead. I might study botany, or animal husbandry, or meteorology, or even take up the piano again. I wasn‘t sure what what I wanted in life, but I knew now that it was my choice, and as I grinned against Montgomery‘s face, I knew that there really was only one life, and I intended to live mine as richly as any person could.

The Last Travelers‘ Inn on the road from Inverness was no place to die.
Freezing rain lashed the windowpanes as I huddled over a warm bowl of soup in a corner of the inn‘s ground floor tavern.

A Cold Legacy continues the saga of Juliet Moreau, this time incorporating elements of Mary Shelley's classic novel, Frankenstein. On the run, after killing three members of the King's Club who intended to use her father's research for evil, Juliet seeks shelter at Elizabeth Von Stein's estate, Ballentyne Manor.

Book 9

It was a mistake to listen to A Cold Legacy immediately after Her Dark Curiosity. Not only did I need a break from the story (and narration), but it was impossible to not compare the two. For example, Juliet's love life, which was so conflicted in book two, was a non-issue in book three. The trilogy wrapped up satisfactorily, but I think the original novel would have been better as a stand-alone, even though it had a lot of loose ends. ⭐⭐⭐

So sad to finally finish such a dark, gothic, gruesome, heartbreakingly beautiful series. This book really was the perfect way to end a trilogy, the atmosphere was so eerily perfect, the romance was so sweet even when put to the test, and I loved the way Juliet discovered who she was and who she wanted to be. This book was such a good spin on Frankenstein, and I really loved it. I truly loved every page of this maddeningly amazing trilogy!

Third book in The Madman's Daughter Trilogy, and the second-best. All in all the trilogy is worth your time; I'm not usually into this kind of genre but it worked for me.

My mom's 4 year old car just overheated 40 mins from home (😁) so I'm reading while waiting for the tow truck.

MrBook Oh maaaan. Good job in having a back-up time mobilizer! 8y

I had a hard time with this book vs the others in the series. Maybe because I had just finished listening to a book with a fantastic ending, but I didn't feel as though this book was as good as the others.
