Bequest

The Birthright #1.5

by Amy Saunders

A short story featuring characters from The Birthright series. Being a descendent of aliens seemed complicated enough to Rosamund Brandt, but after events in Inborn, she’s left with plenty of questions and concerns about her family history–and their future. But after another trip to the Lockewood mansion, she may have more to add to the list.

About the author

Hello! And thanks for checking out my books! I've written two mystery novels so far. My first, Dead Locked, is about Imogen Bell who works for a team of underwater archaeologists and ends up embroiled in a deadly treasure hunt. My second mystery, The Jester's Apprentice, is about Philippa, a woman caught between her new husband Edric and his smoky past - and hers.

I've always loved mysteries, even in elementary school. My mother raised me on TV show reruns like Murder, She Wrote, Matlock, and Magnum, P.I, and later I picked up her Agatha Christie addiction.

However, sometimes I just want a hot (but intelligent) guy and a strong woman bantering for pages. Or a gripping action sequence. Or some fun sci-fi/fantasy elements. And sometimes I want it all in the same book. So with mystery as the backbone of my stories, I blend in romance, action, adventure, and soon sci-fi to keep it fresh and exciting.

Why should you take a chance on my books? Well, I write what I'm passionate about, and I'm passionate about people and mysteries. I make my characters passionate too: about each other, about what they're hunting, fixing, or piecing together. Above all, I want my readers to have fun, and leave happy!

Enjoy!
Amy

This was an okay short story, but it seemed like a bit of a recap book one in the series, so I'm guessing this is full of spoilers for that book?? Not sure!

A Birthright Story: Book #0 - This is a quick read, but very detailed and atmospheric. Even though I've not read the rest of the series, I still knew what was going on which makes me want to read more. Rosamund Brandt, it seems, is left with plenty of questions and concerns after events which occurred in the Lockewood mansion from Book #1 and she is on a mission to find out what they are. Little hints and clues of what awaits a reader in book #1 is left throughout this story. I enjoyed reading it. It's well written.
