I had a problem with this story and that was so many scenes were written on a knife-edge for the reader as well as Emelyn. it was impossible to find a place to put it down! Chapters didn’t help, you know how you just have to finish the chapter? Each one made you want to just continue reading all the time.
Emlynn’s mother comes back into the story and she does not know anything about her daughter’s being able to fly and let alone Ghost. As they are living together in Emlynn’s beautiful penthouse, the lies and secrets keep mounting up until it is impossible to keep them. Emlynn is put into a very difficult situation as her mother more than suspects something is going on that she is not privy to.
James is not in this book much as he goes missing, and then there is the relationship between Stuart and Mason, who are part of the once hated Tribunal Noverm, become more like family members.
There are some great characters whom you know you like even before Emlynn has come to her decision.
There is not much more to say except I love, love, love this series. I am almost sad to pick up the next one at is the last of the series.
Sky can fly and she has agreed to help solve crimes. This lasted one strikes at her heart strings when a baby goes missing and a flyer is caught on tape. Then her boyfriend disappears making this situation have much bigger implications. Finding out who she can trust is proving to be difficult as she finds herself surrounded by lies and deceit. There is a race against time to find out who the new enemy is and how to protect the entire flyer race.
This is another great addition to the series. It is a paranormal contemporary mystery/thriller with great characters. The characters are well known from previous books. They are well written, full of personality With strengths and flaws. The mystery was interesting and full of suspense, surprises, dangerous twists and unexpected turns that keep you interested until the climax. There is drama and excitement mixed into a great mystery. I am looking forward to the ne t book in the series.

This is book 5 in the series and there is one more book to go. I recommend starting this series if you can from the start as some of the characters from other books are in this one. Also, you would follow the evolution of Emelynn. These books flow very nicely and are all a wonderful read with plenty of suspense and mystery.

This is book five of The Gift Legacy. Em is after another Flier who has kidnapped a baby then vanishes into vapor. There are many obstacles put in the way that Em has to sort out. Not only that but her own family has some important issues going on. A good mystery story, more so than the others. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book from Booksprout
Secret Sky #1 – This is my first read by this author and I like it. The story’s beginning was slow where the author tried to make a mystery of what happened to Emelynn. The story is interesting, but too wordy, needs editing. The storylines are good with good characters, several of which were likeable. The author does well with her descriptions, adding to the interest of the story. There is infrequent usage of vulgar language. Ms. McLean shows a complete disregard for the proper usage of God and expressions concerning God, which shows me an intolerance and prejudice against Christians. There are plenty of inoffensive expressions that will work in place of God. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 3.5*
Lover Betrayed (Companion Book or #1.5) – I recommend reading this book after Secret Sky since there are parts that explain some things that were not discussed in detail in SS. Of course, there will be redundancies, which I skipped. I found this book too wordy with a good viewpoint from him, but not really a need to read book. It is largely about him, his father and his brother. The event of her kidnapping is detailed. Again, the author shows her prejudice against Christians with her word choices. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
Hidden Enemy #2 – I find this is a better book than the previous two I have read so far. This will be a hard review to write without turning it into a book report. This story picks up three months after Secret Sky ends. I like that there is so much going on with the old and new storylines. While there is a lot of intrigue, Emeline is evolving. She has growth and changes in her makeup making her a more developed person. There are some mysteries to add even more interest and intrigue to the good storylines, with a good blend of the old and present storylines. Although I keep a good reading pace with the first two books, I had a hard time putting the book down. Hopefully, the rest of the books will increase or keep pace with the continued growth in characters and storylines. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
Burning Lies #3 – This book begins one month after Hidden Enemy ends. OK, I am not bored yet with reading this series. Each book gets better and has quite a few twists and turns that bring back old storylines to mesh with the present and future plots. There is plenty of intrigue, action and other interests to keep the reader immersed in the pages. While the beginning is a bit slow with the author’s usual way of adding mystery before diving into the story. Emelynn has a new job and it is rather interesting, but not without strife and bother. There is an overview and glossary as with the other books. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
Lethal Waters #4 – This book begins three months after Burning Lies ends. I am still not bored with reading this series; they are a bit wordy and start off with the author’s style of trying to be mysterious. The pace always picks up and there is a good blending of all storylines; past, present and future. Ms. McLean does not disappoint, she adds plenty of intrigue, twists and vivid descriptions. I have a problem with writing reviews for series since I want to write a book report of why this addition was a good read, too. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing about a book before I read it, and there is a glossary. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
Deadly Deception #5 – This book picks up where Lethal Waters stops. What an interesting series this has been and I only have one book remaining: Wings of Prey #6. I found this book interesting and intriguing. The characters still run the gamut and since this is a series, only the new ones appear. The rest come and go as the storylines require, which the author does a good job blending all the storylines from book one to present. While a bit wordy, the author does well with her storylines, characters and descriptions, and she keeps the pace moving. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing about a book before I read it, and there is a glossary. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
Wings of Prey #6 – This book picks up about three weeks after Deadly Deception ends. I have enjoyed this series by Ms. McLean. All her books have been wordy and a tad slow from the start with her writing style of trying to create a mysterious beginning. Then the stories kick into gear and the pace never slows down. There are plenty of twists and kinks added to the storylines started with the first book and added on to with each addition. There may be a storyline that appeared in one book only to conclude or build upon the present or future storylines. The characters run the gamut and none stand out as particularly stupid, but have depths of their own. Ms. McLean does a wonderful job with her storytelling, placing the reader in the midst of everything, big and small. I like the originality of the subject, flying people with unique skills. The author takes common subject matter and makes them her own. There are no repeats of someone else’s work or a Hollywood product. Intrigue, deception, romance, vengeance, honor, mystery, love and hate; this series has it all. 4*
