Blood Legacy: Origin of Species

Blood Legacy #4

by Kerri Hawkins

Ryan Alexander has been left physically and mentally battered from contact with the species that spawned her Kind. Although her power has increased exponentially, she has little control over her new abilities. Worse, as memories of the origins of the Old Ones surface, her own memory begins to suffer. Those closest to Ryan watch her internal battle with growing unease as she herself wonders if she has become a threat to all that she loves. When she begins seeing creatures that no one else sees, she wonders if her guilt is manifesting as illusion, or if she is simply losing her mind.

Dr. Susan Ryerson monitors her friend’s increasing instability. She is not certain if Ryan has been sickened by blood contact with the parent species, or if this is simply the aftermath of Ryan’s torture and captivity. But it was a blood mutation that created Ryan and her Kind, giving rise to the myth of the vampire, and now Susan wonders if a second transition is occurring, if in fact Ryan is undergoing a second Change. Which brings to her mind a most terrifying question…into what?

I hate you Kerri Hawkins, for being such a great writer. It puts all I've written to great shame. I hate you because even though his wasn't my favorite in the series, it kept me furiously turning pages. I hate you because I finally understand that a great story can be a bad book based on how it ends, and an ok story can be a great book by the same vein. Yeah... So, that's why I hate you and this book. (who am I kidding)

And who is Abigail!?!
