The Cahills are the most powerful family the world has ever known—a family so influential, they've shaped the course of human history. The source of their power has been hidden around the world in the form of 39 Clues. But the Cahills have shadow enemies, the Vespers, and they’re closer than the Cahills know. Will the power of the 39 Clues be used for good…or for the darkest evil?
Seven stories reveal their never-before-told secrets of the Cahill family. Follow the Cahills from the chilling attack that caused Grace Cahill to launch an all-out hunt for the 39 Clues, to the rise of Vesper One and the first step in his terrifying plan for world domination. The Cahills are counting on you to keep their secrets. Remember: Trust no one.

These were cute little supplements to the original series. Some were better than others, but overall, I still love all of the characters and their very different personalities.

A compilation of seven short stories, this book keeps switching between the characters and their personal struggles and action packed chases.
Spanning from the start of the Clue Hunt to before the Vesper Attacks, it provides some insight into the activities of the Vespers observed, planned, and executed various moves against the Cahills and it all ends on a nice little note.
While it does fill in a few gaps here and there, it takes some liberty on the storyline by making some essential and borderline major changes here and there which mess with the consistency of the same.
As far as the short stories, they're written relatively well for their length and would be better to considered as one contiguous collection instead. It was better than the bigger names that wrote Vespers Rising anyway.
However, they promised one explosive secret which they never revealed. Everything written here has already been established beforehand in previous titles.

Meh. The skydiving thing really irked me, and I really don't think Ian was that wishy washy. Also, mention of the watcher, then nothing? It was just disconjointed all over. Looking forward to getting back to the original writers, not this new one. Skipping Cahill Files cuz I just didn't enjoy this.

This was a combo of all 7 ebooks from Rapid Fire spin off. My favorite are the ones that center around Grace followed by Amy and Dan. I think Legacy was my absolute favorite and I would give that one 5 stars for sure.

I really liked this mini series. I liked seeing closer into the life of the Cahills. It was very interesting and I suggested this to my friend Audrey.
