Nora’s FB page put out a sweepstakes for the ARC of Legacy. Here is the linkhttp://bit.ly/LegacySweepstakes
Update: I could not get this link to work on the mobile app, but it immediately worked on the webpage.

Okay. I wasn’t sure where to put it

Yup. I just keep opening the darn thing up. Maybe I should take the icon off lol.
Mod
The app is very frustrating!
Yes, yes it is. Maybe Amazon could actually get it to be functional one of these days

Drat, drat, double drat. I should have checked my e-mail this morning instead of reading. NetGalley sent an e-mail for the first 1000 responders to get a copy of

Started this morning.
Almost halfway through. This book is so good so far!
Love it and on many scenes, I cry by eye out. The best book I have read in along time. Even though I figured out who was killing the women and sending poetry to Adrian, I love it
I agree, Barbara. I cried a few times too.
I cried too. Yes, I figured out early on who the killer was but that didn't take away from the story at all.

Just finished it!! A fantastic read!! Some tears too but the ending was great!! The whole book was amazing really!
I enjoyed it. I can't say I loved it as much as I love most of Nora's books, but there's no denying she's one of the best storytellers out there. I think my problem with it was I found it hard to like Adrian. She was too pushy and controlling, and what seemed like she was "helping" (recruiting the high school nerds to produce her first video, creating a workout plan for Raylan then just showing up with equipment for him) came across, to me, as not really giving them much of a choice. But...there was a lot to like, as well, though there wasn't much mystery/suspense as to who the author of the poems was.

I listened to the book, which was narrated by January LaVoy, who’s on my top five list of favorites. She performs so well that it sounds like there are multiple narrators! The storytelling was just wonderful, elevated by her performance.

I got teary, too.
Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her grandparents’ house in Maryland, where she spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with dogs, making a new best friend—and developing the stirrings of a crush on her friend’s ten-year-old brother. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the country promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar business. There was no point in dwelling on the past.
A decade later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout videos, following in Lina’s footsteps but intent on maintaining creative control. And she’s just as cool-headed and ambitious as her mother. They aren’t close, but they’re cordial—as long as neither crosses the other.
But while Lina dismisses the death threats that Adrian starts getting as a routine part of her daughter’s growing celebrity, Adrian can’t help but find the vicious rhymes unsettling. Year after year, they keep arriving—the postmarks changing, but the menacing tone the same. They continue after she returns to Maryland and becomes reacquainted with Raylan, her childhood crush, all grown up and as gorgeously green-eyed as ever. Sometimes it even seems like the terrifying messages are indeed routine, like nothing will come of them. Until the murders start, and the escalation begins…
