Legacy of Kilkenny

review 1: I must admit that it took me two tries to read this book. I was a little annoyed by the narrating way this story was told and it put me off the first time. The second time I was obviously in a different mood so I wasn’t annoyed as much but I still wished there were more dialogues as the story tends to lose suspense if you’re only told about it and you’re not witnessing it yourself.The book is told from Pru’s and Abel’s perspective. Pru is a strong character but not that in your face as some author’s like to portray their heroines. I liked her personality and how she feels responsible but I did feel like she may have had a little too much on her shoulders for her age even though she was special.I liked how Abel grew up through the story. I was really pleased wi... moreth the character development. I’m interested to see what the next book brings. Simon Cowell is a were? Really? That made me laugh.
review 2: Well let's try this again shall we? Stinking computer decided to malfunction and not save my review. So anyways...I thought this book was a good read and is one of the few werewolf themed books that I've read. Although it was a little slow for me at the beginning, it progressed as I read on. I like the fact that it is written in two perspectives, Pru's and Abel's. The reader gets insight into what the two main characters are thinking. What I also greatly enjoyed about the book was the fact the main characters didn't fall into the cliche of ending up together. I like that Abel was pining after Pru, but recognized that she only had eyes for someone else. Pru tries to keep her emotions in check, but it's rather hard to do that when her object of affection is her bodyguard. And most of all, what I loved about this book was the underlying message that had nothing to do with romance. It emphasized the importance of cherishing the bonds between family and friends. So here we have Abel who has just been informed that he is the alpha among alphas in the wolf world. In order for him to be fully incorporated into the supernatural world, he has to die. Of course he is skeptical and there is no way in hell he wants to put his family in that position. Despite being friends and training with Pru's pack, he still holds out some sort of hope that he isn't the Great Wolf and that he doesn't have to die. Pru, on the other hand, is the princess of the Oklahoma wolf pack. She is Abel's mentor and a great believer that he is the alpha wolf. After all, she is the one who had the vision. Like Abel, she greatly cares for her family and would do pretty much anything for them. So when danger literally throws arrows into the heart of her family, she makes the most painful decision to hunt down the murderer all the while not knowing if she will make it back alive.There are a number of things that go on and a lot of crap that hits the fans. Vampires make an appearance and of course the feud between leeches and dogs is ever present. Throw in unsuspecting human family members, rogue wolves, innocent victims, hormones, and everything is in complete and utter chaos. Bonds between family and friends are tested and who knows who will come out alive, dead, or undead.I will say though that for all my liking of this book, I wasn't sure about the writing style when I first started it. I honestly thought that the beginning chapters were written by a wannabe author that hadn't quite grasped the ease dialogue. It seemed a bit choppy to me, but it got better as the book went on. I liked this book and finished it with a lot of questions in mind. Like, what is Parker's back story? Why is Shaynie really trying to get into the Oklahoma pack? What is Arien's deal concerning Pru and is he the vamp she met those many years ago? And what in the hell is going to happen with Allie? Hopefully the next book will hold some answers. less
