Why do I like Anna so much? "Legacy" is Jeanne C. Stein's fourth book in her Anna Strong series and I'm still asking myself that question. Anna's not overly nice, she denies what she is, and trouble follows her like white on a skunk. But every time I open the next book, by the end of the first chapter I'm sucked into Anna's life. She's not stupid. She's trying to do what she believes is best for herself and those she loves...yet some of her decisions make me want to shake her into More...

This is the fourth book in the Anna Strong Chronicles by Stein. I think the best thing this book has going for it is that it is a quick read.

Anna finds herself in the middle of a soap opera in this book. David's girlfriend Gloria has contacted Anna for help. Gloria's business relationship with the co-owner of her restaurant has gone south and Gloria wants Anna to help we sort it out. Shortly after this things really get out of hand for Gloria. Other than that there is a pack of werewol More...

Es ist Weihnachten (14. Dezember , also 6 Monate nach Band 1), Anna versucht ein so normales, menschliches Leben wie möglich zu führen, was ihr auch halbwegs gelingt, mit Ausnahme der Einladungen zum Essen ,die sie immer irgendwie umgehen muss. Insgesamt ist sie mir in diesem Teil zu menschlich, sogar der Fall ist menschlich: Gloria hat Mist gebaut und gerade Anna soll ihr aus der Patsche helfen.
Die Übernatürliche Welt kommt zu kurz, kaum Chief Williams, fast kein Max aber dafür ein paar We More...

I was almost disappointed by this one, on second thought, maybe I was disappointed by this installment in the Anna Strong series.

Stein introduces us to her version of werewolves (different, a la Meyer, than the shapechangers we've already met). Her take on the species isn't my favorite, but I dig what she's doing with them and the backstory for vamps/werewolves/demons she worked up.

I wasn't crazy about how Anna "solved" the real world job (which she really di More...

This is the fourth Anna Strong book. Man, do I love this series! It's totally engrossing and kick ass. Anna's one tough vamp. I love her cocky attitude - with a little thread of fear and vulnerability beneath it all.

A lot has changed for her in this book, and she gets herself caught up in an ordeal she never expected - helping Gloria. David's girlfriend and Anna have never seen eye-to-eye, but now she needs Anna's help to prove her innocence. And boy, what a ride!

Loved i More...

I so so wanted to give this book five stars! I just couldn't bring myself to do it though. It started off with lots of promise. The sexual tension between Sandra and Anna was great, David finally seeing Gloria for who she really is, and Trish becoming a part of Anna's family. I just hate how the author leaves me hanging! One minute you are wrapped up in the plot then the next everything is over! Wrapped up in nice neat little package and I'm left scratching my head. And what's up with David's ba More...

This is an urban fantasy series featuring Anna Strong, a bounty-hunter, recently turned vampire.

<Note: possibly spoilers to earlier books in the series>
In this book, Anna is stretched pretty thin. She's hired to help one of her worst enemies in a murder investigation, a werewolf is in town claiming to be Avery's wife, she discovers that her so-called "friends" in the paranormal world are keeping secrets from her, and she's under pressure from her family to be More...

I wanted so bad to really like this book but in the end I was disapointed. I was hoping that we would finally see Anna maybe settle down or at least choose someone or maybe Max would come back to her. I was really rooting for that, but in the end nothing happened there.
We hear nothing if Avery is really gone, there is no end. So does that mean the author is going to write another book letting us know what happens.
I am not sure about the rest of you but I would like to know what ha More...

I really like this series. This is the 4th book. Anna is still struggling, not with being a vampire, she's accepted that. But she hasn't accepted that she has to give up her family. She loves them. Which is why she's very suspicious when her family receives a windfall that will take them far away from her. Little did she realize how suspicious she should be. This wasn't as good as the previous novels but I couldn't have started the new year with a more enjoyable book. They are light (but not flu More...

It has been awhile since I read this Anna Strong Vampire Bounty Hunter series so I can't go into detail. I read the first 5 books while on summer vacation traveling in the car. They were quick easy reads and interesting enough to keep me wanting to keep going. However, I was repeatedly irritated with the main character Anna Strong. I felt she was repeatedly making stupid mistakes due to her pride. She was always out to prove how she could do it on her own, never accepting help, and of course alw More...

The Anna Strong series is a lot like the Mercy Thompson series, fun, light reading with characters that I just hadn’t found myself fully invested in until late in the series. It wasn’t until book six, Chosen, that I finally found myself carrying about Anna and the people around her (a lot like with the Mercy series where I didn’t feel like I cared much until book five, Silver Borne). It seems like the first 5 books were filled with world building and situations that finally got Anna to where the More...

Each Anna Strong books gets even better. I started to read this one last month, found that it takes place over Christmas, so held off until December for my Holiday reading. Granted, not exactly 'Peace Love Dove' Christmas, but I rarely read the PLD Christmas books during December. No, I meander off and read mysteries of all nature..paranormals prevail...set in December.
Anna is still dealing with her vampire-ness and that includes keeping it from her family and friends. It gets difficult ho More...

This series is okay but it just doesn't do enough for me. The best one so far was Watcher, so I had hopes that the series was finally starting to take off and things were really going to start happening in Anna Strong's world. This book left me disappointed. The author just seems to have no direction for the series, or is trying to draw out revelations and relationships and storylines so long that I am just losing interest. I want to know the other characters better. I want more significant thin More...

Sho rated it:

This book felt more like a filler than the other books, I suppose this is where Anna starts to separate from her "human world" as Williams put it. I just don't get why Anna's partner David is soooo in love with this Gloria bitch. Sigh.. I feel pain right along with Anna.

Since it was just Halloween the books' surprising villain fits right in. I wish we got to know about the weres better though,
Still a nice addition to a solid series.

Enter a bounty hunter who have turned into a vampire some months ago.

After killing Avery, a vampire who turned her into one of them, a wolf claims to be the widow of the deceased and desire his fortune. Although, Anna does not want it due to the painful memories, there more to the money...there is also revenge.

Anna Strong, a bounty hunter and newly formed vampire with attitude, is back. The more she comes into her own as a vampire, the more she resists the expectations being placed upon her to fully embrace her vampiric side. For Anna is not like any other vampire.

In the meantime, Gloria Estrella, a successful model/actress/co-owner of a high class restaurant in San Diego (who is also the girlfriend of her colleague) is implicated in a murder and enliste Anna's help to find the real More...

this series has been pretty consistent sadly. the books don't get any better as they do. thankfully they don't get any worse either. they are a very fast read which is a point in the plus column. like i have said before they are decent, but i cant see them being anyone's fave series.

I finished this morning after a night of drinking. So I guess that means something, huh? This had a couple of unexpected twists that didn't have any closure. So I am assuming we will learn more about that in the next one. God, I love a series.

This is the 4th book in the series & I have the 5th whenever I get to it. This isn't my favorite paranormal series, but it's a good enough read; entertaining & quick. I liked this book a bit better than the previous two. Werewolves are introduced & the mystery is pretty well done.

Okay, read Becoming and this one, the recap at the beginning will save the boredom and brattiness in the two books in between. Now that the setting is there, maybe we can start speeding up?

This series is an easy read that doesn't cling so tightly to the vampire and were mythology that other authors are using today. But Jeanne Stein has a bad habit of a lot of build up with a very quick wrap up that just isn't as satisfying as it should be.

Cameron rated it:

Another solid entry into the Anna Strong mythos. With less than eighty pages left in the book, I wondered how the wrap up could possibly happen in this book, and the fact that, though things are not perfectly tied off, the conclusion I thought to expect in a cliff-hanging successor actually gets resolved more or less leaves me feeling like it all happened too fast. I can't believe I am actually wishing for a book that left me hanging! Despite this ending however, I continue to relish spending More...

I am still loving Anna Strong. I still want to smack her sometimes with her decisions, but she is a wonderful character. Here is where we meet Avery's wife and still hating Dave's ex, Gloria. Max is still a loser, I really wanted their relationship to work out. We meet some bad ass witches. My favorite part of this book is the return of a surprise guest.
