One battle, one outcome. Who will win? Good or evil?

When a wild mustang is shot in Montana, renowned horse whisperer and telepath, Emma Horserider, is called in to calm the herd and find out what happened. Once on scene she is almost killed by a bullet-spewing drone, and calls her black ops brother for back-up.

Emma's help roars into her life covered in tattoos and riding a Harley. Remote viewer Bronco Winchester takes the assignment because he is ordered to, but he wonders what type of assistance, his boss's sister needs. That is until he sees Emma, a valiant Warrior Woman proud of her Crow heritage.

Posing as a married couple, Emma and Bronco go undercover to infiltrate and stop a hate group. Both are anxious enough without the now growing attachment they feel for one another. When the lives of many are on the line, they are not sure if they will live or die—let alone have a chance at love.

I've only ever read about Native American characters in historical fiction, hence to read it in a contemporary setting, albeit with paranormal stuff like ghosts and psychic abilities, is a real treat. Legacy of Evil has a great plot and conflict mixed in with the romance between Emma Horserider and Bronco Winchester. Not only that but Emma and Bronco are strong, likeable characters that make the reader root for them to find their HEA.

From the first page, Sharon Buchbinder captivated me with the intelligent and loyal equines and the horrendous murder being committed. She went on to hold my interest with intriguing characters in Emma and Bronco, Lucius and Tallulah, Beautiful Blackfeather, Stephanie, Tommy Otterlegs, and Gaucho. There are some serious themes being explored here, including white supremacy, LGBTQ causes and the prejudices they face, making this a novel that's up to the times in terms of the issues facing us today.

Plot-wise, there's enough suspense and action to satisfy adrenaline junkies, and the plot moves the story forward, although I thought the thing with the accountants could be removed. I don't think that sub-plot did anything for the story, and if it were deleted, it wouldn't have affected the main plot. If it was supposed to be a red herring, it didn't do a good enough job.

A truly satisfying read, and perhaps one of the main reasons that kept me reading non-stop page after page was the superb writing of Ms. Buchbinder.
