Dark Legacy (Crawford Investigations, Book 7) : JC McKenzie

There’s no such thing as a quiet life for the Queen of Corvids. 


This is the seventh book in the Crawford Investigations series.The book is Urban Fantasy with some level of romance. There are mentions of sexual activity but no descriptive scenes.This book once again focuses on Raven Crawford and is set six years after the first book and follows on directly from the books about Raven’s sister, Juni. 


There’s no such thing as a quiet life for the Queen of Corvids. It seems that everyone needs Raven’s attention: the young Troll Prince is missing and the Trolls are requesting her help to find him; her brother, Mike, is investigating another case of a missing boy and needs her help to find him; yet another Roller group is causing problems, attempting to link their souls to the Realm of Light; to top it all off, Juni has been coerced into binding herself to the Lord of War and Raven is forced to look for a way to break the binding. 


As ever, JC McKenzie’s style of writing is fluid and easy to read. The story is well paced and although there is a lot going on, we don’t lose track of it. The world building is very good. We get more of a glimpse into the Realm of Light in this book. The characters are well developed and interact with each other in a believable and relatable way. The story is increasingly complex; the big shiny hook at the end has definitely reeled me in and I want to know more.


I’m enjoying this series. If you like to read predominantly Urban Fantasy with a touch of Paranormal Romance and worldbuilding which takes you beyond the mortal realm, then this is the series for you.


Available from Amazon
