from 890 reviewsI really enjoyed this intro to the Skye O'Shea Series. I found Skye interesting and relatable having started over myself after divorce without an inheritance to whisk me away. I'm excitedto see what hernew beginning brings.

Delightful story!

I really enjoyed this first in the Skye O’Shea series. I liked that the storyline was different and lots of Irish lore. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I ventured Into a new realm of Irish historical fiction, and was not disappointed. Book 1 in a series of 5 will keep me cozy for a few days. Looking forward to seeing what else the author has in store for me.

What an engaging and entertaining book! Plenty of twists and turns and wonderfully crafted red herrings! You never know whether your instinct as to who the killer could be is right or not, and juuuust when you think you’ve got it, there ar little seeds of doubt. LOVE IT. Great characters, thrilling and exciting series of events. Highly recommend if you like murder mysteries, Ireland, and more than a wee bit it the woogety woo!

This one really gets into the rituals of the fae, history of her Gran's life and who she was. People arrive that cause a whole of trouble and a death.

A fun read. I like the Ireland location and the references to old Irish folk lore. Characters interesting, more fleshed out than in many books. I'm moving on to the next one.

Not what I expected. The book is fresh with mystery and Irish folk lore. One I started reading it. I didn't want to stop until the end.

I received this book by the author with no compensation or conditions to write a review. I found this storyline to be quite interesting & plan to read more books in this series. I enjoy the paranormal genre & this prequel checked the boxes for me. If you enjoy this genre, I suggest you give it a try.

Read the prequel a few days ago and was hooked. Troubles between exes lead Skye into a world in Ireland she doesn't yet understand. Leaving problems behind in the states, she sets off for Ireland and an unexpected inheritance from her grandmother.Problems arise as son as Skye sets foot in Irish soil. Mysterious death, suspicions about Skye's family and unexpected behavior from the people.Add to that mystical happenings, noises in the night, A talking cat, and many other beings from Irish folklore make for an entertaining read. Ready for the next.

Excellent book. The characters where outstanding! Keep you guessing to the end.can't wait to continue the story! Gram is my favorite character.

I am enjoying the Irish story setting. Hope the series continues past book three.

This is a nice read! Interesting and imagination capturing. Great to read a fantasy that's not full of angst but mature life issues.

Really good read. Not too predictable, has enough twists to maintain interest. The kind of.escape.you want tomread.straight thru, cover to cover

Legacy of Truth picks up the legend of the Druid Brooch by looking backwards in time (this is consistent throughout the series).Esme is a simple Irish peasant, with a failure for a father and a twin sibling (among her other siblings) who can only be called evil. Eithne and Esme are the yin and yang, with Esme kind, gentle, and a good soul.Her parents migrate to America, while Eithne marries for social elevation, while Esme falls for a Traveler. Life is hard and painful for her, especially as the brooch enhances her ability to see the truth, and through these disappointments and tragedies, Esme tries to endure.It is a story of a caring, sympathetic character who struggles both in her time (the life and expectations for women) and against the crises she faces.
I have never heard such a sad story in my life and I hope to never read one that sad again !!! What's the use of it being fiction if you can't give the poor girl a happy ending . ICouldn't believe you couldn't write in happier circumstances.😥😭
This was a wonderful read. I have never read a fictional historical Irish story and I truly enjoyed the comradery and real life examples.
In all its pathos and glory. I love the heart of the Irish people..I hate those mean charactersSuch description. Such great storytelling. Love both this one and "hunger"
Good, entertaining read. Seemed like a background book to get deeper understanding of the first in the series or a bridge to the third. Enjoyed the story.
