Blog Tour + Review + #Giveaway: Legacy Strain by Taylor Brooke @taysalion @XpressoTours



Legacy Strain
Taylor Brooke
(Isolation #3)
Published by: Limitless Publishing
Publication date: June 6th 2017
Genres: Post-Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Young Adult

Brooklyn Harper’s friends have betrayed her, her heart is broken, and all of humanity is at risk.

After Kirin’s unannounced arrival in Louisiana, Brooklyn finds herself scrambling for a way out of an impossible situation. Kirin is creating the deadly Genesis Cull, and Brooklyn doesn’t know who to turn to for help.

With no other options, she’s forced to trust her nemesis, Juneau Malloy. His support allows the group of Special Omen Operatives to gear up, form a plan of action, and train for the day when they come face-to-face with their worst fear—going to war with their friends.

There is a divide in the once inseparable group of Omens, and their only hope is to put the pieces back together.

Julian Yu Matsumoto agonizes over the difference between right and wrong, love and sacrifice, genocide and revolution. While he struggles with his feelings for Kirin, his moral compass is spinning round and round, his heart is being pulled in different directions, and Julian is desperate to answer questions he never thought he would have to ask.

Is Kirin’s Genesis Cull a revolution or genocide?

Could there be another way to save themselves and humanity as they know it?

Will Julian pay the ultimate price for loving a monster?

Their only hope for redemption is—the Legacy Strain.



My Review:
  
Wow! Legacy Stain just blew me away with all the lies, secrets, betrayal, sacrifices and redemption. Were the lies only secrets to keep everyone you love safe? Were the betrayals only sacrifices to keep the ones you love safe? I think all the characters, Brooklyn, Porter, Gabriel, Dawson, Amber, Julian were all very strong people to be able to do what they did in the end. The love they have for each other was just amazing. Will they redeem their selves in the end?

I loved how the author would keep you in the dark about what was going on and then slam you in the face with it right out of the blue. I would be like whoa I didn’t see that one coming. In my opinion when an author can keep you guessing just for a little while that is great but when she can keep you guessing right up until the end now that is astronomical.

A virus is set to be released on the world and if it is released then hundreds of thousands of people will die. Can Brooklyn and the Omens stop the release of the virus in time to save the lives of all these people? Or is it too late? Come join Brooklyn, Porter and Gabriel on their adventures to save the world and their friends.


If you have not read Legacy Strain then let me suggest that you do. It will blow your mind. Have you read the first book Omen Operation or the second book Echo Campaign? If you have not read these two books then I would suggest that you start with them first as you don’t want to miss out on the Omen’s journeys. Well and so you won’t get confused and will know what is going on.
