Book: Legacy (Sociopath #2)
Author: Lime Craven
Genre: dark romance/psychological thriller
Synopsis
Reach for the scars...
Remember me? Aeron Lore: happy and humble. A people person. All around nice guy.
Even I can't say that with a straight face.
But seriously, things are going great. Leo's behaving herself; I'm enjoying making sure she behaves. We're a great team. SilentWitn3ss, our live-streaming news project, has launched to my favorite things ever: controversy and profit.
So when the FBI comes to me and wants to use SilentWitn3ss footage to trace a serial killer named Blood Honey, I'm only too happy to be superior—I mean, to help. And if Leo thinks the brutal Blood Honey and I have a few things in common, I guess that's to be expected, given my rather unique preferences in the bedroom. My...condition.
But I'm not like him. I can't stand that she would even think it.
If his actions threaten my relationship with Leo, I'll hunt that fucker down myself.
If he gets too close for comfort, I will make him bleed—and trust me, he's closer than I ever anticipated.
There's a food chain, grasshoppers. The buck doesn't stop with him. It stops with me. Blood Honey is a nasty son of a bitch, but I can be a lot worse. Question is...do I want to be?
Legacy is book 2. Please read Lime Craven's Sociopath first (I guarantee you'll love this crazy, dark, totally effed up book)and don't read this review since there are references to Sociopath and I definitely DON'T wanna give anything away! Legacy starts off after Sociopath ends, Aeron's healed basically and Leo is still around. Still wondering just WHY she actually stays around...it must be Lime Cravens way with words... **They say you can do anything if you have enough money, bit it's not supposed to be true. It's just there to give us a little ambition, right? Assuming we want to become the next generation of doctors and teachers and Nobel Peace Prize winners. Not matricidal monsters. That's what they tell us. The world's your frickin' oyster. Turns out it's not always oyster season, and before you can blink, the shell snaps shut and it's just you and a pearl in the ebbing throes of decay, seeping putrid, losing lustre, until you forget that it was ever beautiful at all.** I had a hard time getting into Legacy and I was so damned excited to get it because I freaking LOVED Sociopath...but eventually I DID get into it and by half way through I just couldn't put it down. By the time I was 2/3 in...I was reading voraciously, so excited to be reading Leo and Aeron's story..and Oh My Freaking God...it was fabulous. The last third was TO DIE FOR..literally. Amazing. so many questions left over from Sociopath were answered. I was just in awe...really. The writing style is the same, the sardonic wit, and oh yes, sports fans, did I mention that Lime Craven has such a way with words...understand this well, grasshopers... because what the Lore's do is **We cut. We slash. We put the scar in scarlet" just amazing really.. 5 Stars |

Author Bio
I like dysfunction. Broken people who can't fix each other, but fit together because they're missing the same pieces. One of my favourite songs declares, "take the sinner down to feed desire," and that's my MO. I write dirty psychological thrillers with strong elements of dark romance.
I love antiheroes. Female characters who don't just accept their faults, but downright exploit them. No nice boys. No shame. Mindfuckery for all.

Synopsis
The name's Aeron Lore. And you are...? Such a pleasure to meet you, sweetheart. Is that a southern accent? Gorgeous.
You fucking bitch.
Why so surprised? I control a billion dollar fortune. I control the news. Give me five minutes and I'll control you, too. If you could read my mind, you'd probably call me perverted. Unnatural. Manipulative. But I've learned to blend in, to be funny and charming. A predator in a designer suit.
I have no conscience. No shame in taking the things I want. And what I wanted was for Leontine Reeves to sell me her boutique tech firm so I could exploit the fuck out of it. Maybe exploit the fuck out of her, too, because desire haunts me in shades of scarlet, and I desire Leo most of all.
I never meant for this to be a love story. I fought it kicking and screaming, the same way Leo fought me. Now we're bleeding into each other, making a mess. A chaos. There's no control here. And what do monsters like me do when control leaves the building?
We attack.
