VIRUS: Gray Wolf LEGACY: Book One

by Mary Kennedy

With their parents fully retired now, the LEGACY team is taking over Gray Wolf. Thinking this was going to be an easy gig was their first mistake. Believing they knew all the secrets of Belle Fleur was the second mistake. But encountering more ghosts and having to chase down a murderess ghost whose machinations are killing people in the twenty-first century, was definitely not on the semi-retired agenda.

Come along with Luke, Cam, Eric, and Hex as they lead their new team in and out of history to find the mysterious source of the virus that's killing the locals. Things are definitely getting weird-er.

It was fun to see the new set of seniors take over Gray Wolf. Their first case was a doozy! So many getting sick and dying and no connections of why or where to find the person at the center. With a little help from Matthew and Mama Irene, with a secret they kept from most, they were able to figure things out. It was crazy the why, so glad that things there were cleared up and put to rest. Now they can settle in and do what needs to be done, something they will excel at, as this group always does.

I thought the end of Grey Wolf was beautiful, but ...

I am amazed Ms. Kennedy by the beginning of the legacy series. Overlooking, the ghosts, miracles, etc, (yet I believe we have these wonders in life, if blessed to see, hear, even just know about them), your ability to take real life happenings and turn them into an entire novel completely astounds me.
The research you do is obviously painstaking. Most would never understand how soil can change so much with weather patterns.
I was thinking how apropos this book was so recently after New Orleans experienced their snowfall of over a foot for the first time in 100 years, give or take, and it's help with effects from Katrina, et al.
Once again, Ms. Kennedy you made my day with your written words. I feel better, more optimistic, and frankly less alone.
This novel, though fiction, categorized as fantasy, spiritually filled my soul. So few authors have such an ability, yours has existed for me since the very first novel I read. I will read your works till you stop writing, or my time is done.
As an author, Ms Kennedy, you are a true wordsmith!
Blessings.

Always. An Adventure!

I love when she brings in new ghosts like it's the most natural thing. I am a paranormal fan. I love everything like that. Her books are a welcome site to me. Her writing is adventurous, loving and funny. I love the animals and the new adventure for Gaspar. Can't wait for the next one.❤

The new senior team takes on its first case as the new Gray Wolf team. A mysterious virus is affecting hundreds of people around the New Orleans area, snd no one can figure out where it came from or why it is so deadly. Finding patient zero proves to be difficult, but as always, all the Belle Fleur teams have fingers in all. Worlds, ghosts, spirits and voodoo.
