It would be impossible for me to be more biased... but I think it's a great book all about found family, first gay love, overcoming grief, family secrets, and brotherly bickering from the twins.
I hope you all love it as much as I loved writing it x

Once again, Patrick has floored me with an amazing fairytale retelling. The worldbuilding and vibes of this Robin Hood story are absolutely flawless and remind me so strongly of going on hunting and camping trips as a child. I really felt like I was in the forest shooting bows at targets with my dad.

I'm always so impressed by Patrick's characterization as well, each one manages to be unique and well-rounded even comparing to her other works and each female protagonist feels like she has her own personality.

STOLEN LEGACY such a great, well-paced adventure and I'm so excited it's finally out in the world, I've been waiting for it for years!

Another incredible book, managing stunningly to balance themes of found family, first love (especially gay first love!), loss, legacy, and power struggles, all while keeping the visceral, tight storytelling I've come to expect from the author, even managing to surprise me with a few plot twists!

Abby's writing has never failed to impress and engage me, and I can't wait to read any books she comes out with in the future! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another instalment in this wonderful deadly ever after series!
