“Family
may be the ties that bind, but When Empires Fall, they are the ties that kill…”
Truer words have never been spoken…especially if
you’re a member of the prestigious Vasser Hotel family. For them, murder runs
in the blood; ambitious and cold, and oh so cruel.
Step inside a world where champagne flows freely,
luxury comes standard, and glorious Manhattan pulsates all around you with the
rich, the famous, and the damned. Amidst it all, the illustrious Vasser Hotel
stands as a beacon of extravagance, a century old and a staple to the Upper
East Side.
In When
Empires Fall, meet the Vasser family. On the outside, they appear
untouchable. Nothing and no one can tarnish the prestige they have spent over a
hundred years cementing into the very fabric of their infamous name.
That is, until a horrific event from their past, a
suspected suicide of one of their own, is revealed to have been cold-blooded
murder. What’s a family to do but get justice?
Alas, rarely is such a thing so easy.
They will have to fight tooth and nail against
accusations that the killer is one of their own, not some outsider intent on hurting
the family. And when they find out that this isn’t the killer’s first murder,
things really get interesting.
But who are the Vassers, and what makes their story,
one of fiery passion, scandal, and deception, so unique?
The three main characters are siblings, Grant, Linc,
and Madison, who run the New York Vasser Hotel. Meet them, and the rest of the
family, below:
“Finish, good lady; the bright day is done,
and we are for the dark.”
The Vasser family’s story continues on in the
sequel, Rise of the Notorious. Theirs
was a story much too elaborate to confine to just one novel…and the killer
drama only heats up ten-fold in the sequel.
After dealing with attacks on their good name,
business, and personal reputations, Grant, Linc, and Madison now find
themselves in a war against not only the hungry and insatiable press, but
several key enemies hell bent on ruining the family. 
Only, the enemies they know about are nothing
compared to the enemies waiting in the shadows. What will become of the Vasser
family as they struggle to rise from the ashes of their own destruction? They
may just learn some valuable lessons on who to trust, and who to destroy.
Madison takes the forefront, placing herself in the
public eye in an attempt to showcase the Vasser family’s graciousness and
strength. It’ll take every last innovative and courageous bone in her body to
make sure her family’s legacy survives.
That is, if she and her family members can survive
themselves, first.
Praise
for The Vasser Legacy:
“A modern day
epic in the tradition of Gone With The Wind…” -J.L. Firestone, author
“Exhilarating
and fresh… Jennings masterfully weaves an intricate web of deception and lies…When
Empires Fall is not as much a story about
the rich as it is a story about human character.” -Cristian Mihai, author/blogger
“Deliciously
distracting! A complex tale of family betrayal and false appearances.” -Elizabeth
Wright, reviewer with BestChickLit.com
“The story is
well developed and moves at a great pace but Katie Jennings' real talent lies
in her ability to develop fascinating and compelling characters.” -Martha
Bryce, book blogger

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS TO KATIE JENNINGS. I am honored to have talked to her previously and to have her Vasser Legacy books on my Kindle. Congratulations, Katie. We need more romantics in this world, and I'm not saying I'm a romantic, but you're to be admired. Right now the snow is falling softly in Edmonton, Alberta, they say our weather system has come from California. Is that true, Katie? I find that hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again. You deserve all the success you are presently enjoying, and more. Be true to yourself, and if you're a romantic, be true to that. Many will benefit. Regards to your cat and husband.
Thank you Kenna! I appreciate your compliments :) You are such a sweetheart! We've been having beautiful weather here in SoCal, don't know if you got anything from us!
