Publisher Description

Legacies, the first book in the exciting new Shadow Grail series from Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill

Who--or what--is stalking the students at Oakhurst Academy?

In the wake of the accident that killed her family, Spirit White is spirited away to Oakhurst Academy, a combination school and orphanage in the middle of Montana. There she learns she is a legacy--not only to the school, which her parents also attended, but to magic.

All the students at Oakhurst have magical powers, and although Spirit's hasn't manifested itself yet, the administrators insist she has one. Spirit isn't sure she cares. Devastated by the loss of her family, she finds comfort with a group of friends: Burke Hallows, Lachlann Spears, Muirin Shae, and Adelaide Lake.

But something strange is going on at Oakhurst. Students start disappearing under mysterious circumstances, and the school seems to be trying to cover it up. Spirit and her friends must find out what's happening--before one of them becomes the next victim...

Not bad

Not a bad story overall. At first I thought it was a Harry potter novel but it was different enough to make it interesting. The very end could have been a little more unpredictable.

Don't bother - the magic fizzles

The plot is very weak and convoluted. Relies a lot on other works of fiction, trying to be tongue-in-cheek but leaning heavily on references to Harry Potter. Caveat: NOTHING like Harry Potter.

Tries to be thrilling but it is just a plot device to get you to read the next installment. There have been other similar books that are more successful in drawing you in without resorting to a cheapened "keep reading and you'll find out" strategy.

All in all, very underwhelming, languid and definitely not the best use of your time.
