The Dark Gifts: Inheritance, is the second book in the series. I had been waiting ever so patiently (*cough cough*) for this book to reach my possession. By patiently, I mean not at all. I was highly anticipating reading this book as I had absolutely loved the first book in the series.
Firstly, I knew beforehand that it would not directly link to the previous book, and consequently it was not an overall surprise when I started reading it that it did not follow on. This, I feel, was a very clever...more

Their aunt had left them a home with many secrets from their past they were unaware of. Jason has noticed a change in himself that scares him and wants Sarah in on it so he can find out what is happening. He’s changing into something he knows nothing about. They stumble across something in the attic that tells them they own another house and go to check it out. They meet their Aunt...more

Jason is so protective and will do anything to keep her safe. I love to see ama...more
I recently purchased a Willow Cross book and was asked to review one of her books as well. I opened up my Kindle and started reading the Willow Cross book for review, not realizing that it was the second book in the series. The absolutely amazing thing, aside from the writing, was that I thought it was the first in the series, not the second, all the way up until the end. The book could be a stand-alone book! I immediately picked up, and started, book one. So far it's as good as book 2, and jus...more
Willow Cross’s “Inheritance” is the first book ever I’ve read of this author, and I can assure you it won’t be the last! I was always wondering why other readers were gushing about her books, until I read “Inheritance” - and I was blown away, to say the least.
First off, I need to mention here, that I don’t usually read werewolf-themed books or anything related to werewolves. I find werewolves dreary and the theme repetitive; but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is not the case with “...more

Willow is an Amazing Author ... her characters and storylines are solid and seductive
"Inheritance" is book 2 in the "Dark Gift" series but stands out on its own and is unlike any sequeal i have ever read .. at first i was a little confused because i couldnt find the link between this book and the first book in the series "Birthright" but towards the end of the book the stories merged and the link became obvious and i was thrilled with the genius of how the story stood all on its own then meshed...more

I don't even know where to start! I love the authors type of writing, it is way different than others in her genre. This book is the 2nd book in the series, but don't worry, it could stand alone. If you haven't read the 1st book "Birthright", you will not be lost. This book revolves more around the werewolves and the hunters, but still includes other paranormal beings, including some from "Birthright". Sarah and her brother Jason have had their share of ups and downs, but they have no clue what...more
MY REVIEW
I was gifted this book on smashwords in exchange for my honest opinion and review of it.
The cover....hmmm to be totally honest I am not sure I would pick this one up in a book store. The blurb would attract me but the cover I didn't find it as attractive and it didn't draw me in like some covers have done. Having said that the cover does represent what Sarah and Jason are very well, they are shifter's.
So Sara and Jason never knew their true heritage, so when Jason begins changing, it i...more

Ok...I just have to say...this book is Greatness!!! She's done it again!! I absolutely LOVED this book! I could not put it down! I started out reading Birthright (The Dark Gifts Vol. 1) & was just awed! LOVED it!!! I wanted more, so I downloaded the sample of this one. It took me a few days to decide to buy the full version. I have to admit at first how bummed I was after finishing the sample of Inheritance (The Dark Gifts Vol. 2), because it seemed like a whole new storyline.....UNTIL I pur...more

After Jason turned 21 he thought he was losing his mind. During the three full nights of the full moon strange things were happening to him and he had no memory of what he did. He was terrified at the thought of what could be happening to him. His sister, Sara was beginning to think he needed a shrink as well.

This is book 2 in The Dark Gifts series. First being Birthright. This isn't exactly a "sequel" more of a sister. About 2/3 of the way thru, you start to hear more about some of the characters from Birthright. This book is about Sarah and Jason who were always being bounced around in foster homes, until an Aunt passes and leaves them her home. While there, they learn a secret about their family. They are truly werewolves. And Sarah is the rarest of them all. Not just a werewolf, but also a seer....more

The Dark Gifts Inheritance is the fourth book I've read by Willow Cross and once again...it didn't disappoint me. One aspect I love about Willow's style is - I wind up feeling emotionally attached to most of the characters. Love it. I also enjoyed the travel to far-away places in this book, plus the fact that our heroes can't quite seem to get on solid ground before - bam! - the next calamity happens.

Werewolves like you've never known before. This captivating story will pull you into a supernatural world that is so detailed and unique...you'll wonder if it's real! Highly recommended! Don't forget to enjoy Birthright by Willow Cross to enhance your experience in the supernatural world!

5 out of 5* and all I can say is WOW, I cried alot in this book! All the things that happened to these kids were.....WOW!! I love how the end tied together with Birthright, but the funny thing was I didnt tie it all together until the old medicine man came into the book, then things started clicking!!! I absolutely LOVED it Willow!! The friendships between the girls was awesome!! I was making myself a pbj sandwhich and thats when I realized that the girls were friends before! Hahaha, man, I woul...more
A great YA book that offers great character development and an engaging plot. I like the fact Willow Cross has blended the bravado of teenagers with the reality of adult responsibility. So many YA books will focus on the teen angst and high school drama without examining that edge of adulthood where young people learn that its not all about them, and they need to make choices that effect those around them. Jacob and his sister Sarah still have that sense of teen rebellion, but its tempered with...more
(Slightly Spoilery) After reading Birthright the first book in this series I was already hooked on the story. At first when I started reading this one I was like "Where are the characters I fell in love with in book one?" but I kept reading. Willows way with words and flawless story telling had me caring about this whole new set of characters before too long. What was even better was that you do get to tie in to back to book one and meet up with everyone you already knew. All I can say is you ha...more
Willow Cross has out done herself again! I fell in love with the characters! Willow Cross is a genius when she writes!
The Dark Gifts Inheritance is the second book in the series, and I thought book one was amazing, book 2 just amazed me even more. She went from witches and vampires in one book to werewolves in another. I see them all being combined soon! And all that paranormal romance is just wow!
I can not wait to read book 3 in this amazing series! Because now I am hooked on "The Dark Gifts"...more

The second book in Willow Cross's Dark Gifts series is just as compelling as the first. Two orphans find they have a family with a dark secret after they come of age. At first I thought this first book was completely unrelated to the first, only linked by the fact that the characters have a dark gift. I was well into the story before I realized that instead of this plot merely being a continuation of the first story, it was a separate thread that Willow was expertly weaving into the whole saga....more

First, Thank you SO much Ms. Willow Cross, for giving me a copy to read and put up on my blog... I was so intrigued by the cover, but I am thrilled to say I LOVED it when I opened it and started reading...
This story is literally about tragedy and what you do to pick yourself up and keep on surviving after those brutal happenings. This is Sarah and Jason's story, who are siblings, who lost their parents at a very young age, and grew up in foster care. They then inherit their long lost aunt's home...more

Good story - the version I got on Amazon REALLY needs some editing, but not for the usual reasons. There are wrong words used that are similar to the appropriate words, but not quite right. There are some sentences that don't flow right; it basically just needs a good reader edit. This isn't the usually typo-laden self-published read that you find; it's a different kind of edit that seems to be lacking. Author has a lot of promise... I'd like to see more from her.
I read this book without reading the first book. I just want to let everyone know- this is part of a series but completely able to stand alone. You don’t need to read he first one to find this a great read. This is a great book because of that and I applaud Cross for such good writing. So the basic plot is that Sarah and her brother find they don’t exactly know their past every well. In fact they were actually hidden by their past and do not know about their family history of werewolves and have...more
Willow Cross has out done her self with this one. I am a huge fan of Willows & love all her books, but Inheritance is by far my favorite book yet. From the very start I was drawn into the world of Inheritance. I love all the different point of views, you get so much more story that way & they are wrote in a way that you don't get confused. After the death of their aunt, Sarah & Jason inherited her house. It is there they begin to discover their family secret. Which leads them on an a...more
I bought this book on Amazon.
I loved this book! Sarah and Jason made wonderful main characters... Their childhood was so sad, then when they actually found someone in their family, all hell breaks loose. I loved how the story is wound into the first book of this series Birthright. At first I thought "How is this book 2?" LOL I am used to when a book ends, then the next book in the series startes right where the other left off. But in the end I was really really happy about this book! And the mor...more

I loved this story! Willow`s story just keeps getting better!Brother & sister spent most of their lives alone till they received their Inheritance. After that life changes as they know it. They finally inherite the family they always dreamt of. Willow has created a world where you feel like you`re really there & don`t want to leave.The Dark Gift series grabs ahold of you & won`t let you put it down.
Oh my goodness!! Where to start?! Willow has done it again! Not only is her writing style completely addictive, her descriptions of scenes were, again, so intense that I had dreams about this book. The Werewolf/Hunter/Druid combo is just something you wouldn't expect. The character development for this book was off the charts incredible! Following Sarah and Jason through this book and seeing characters from book 1, Birthright, was amazing! I recommend this action packed book to all Paranormal lo...more
My Review: First off, can we say; My god, Willow Cross is a genius! Inheritance is part of The Dark Gifts series and this little gem is a SERIOUS gift to any avid reader of the paranormal genre! I absolutely thought that Michael from the first book Birthright had me hook, line and sinker, but oh, Jason is a dish as well. I love the effortless flow with which all of Willow's book are written. But this one is absolutely my favorite right now! This book is #2 in the series but could so be a stand a...more
This is an amazingly unigue werewolf paranormal romance. It has so many amazing characters, not only will you remember those who are good and wonderful, but you will also remember the evil ones that try to tear them apart. A fight for life, freedom and love has just begun. I love how you brought the vamps, witches and druid from part one into this one :) So can't wait to read part 3 :)
