Winner of "Best in Drama" 2013 Turning the Pages Book Awards
When their empire fell, darkness descended upon the Vasser Hotel family and shrouded them in chaos. It was a darkness layered in violent sins and staggering deception, made only more potent by a haunting truth. Murder, it seemed, was a burden they couldn't escape.

With a scandal plaguing the family's reputation, the Vasser heirs must rise to the occasion and utilize a killer's advice to turn bad publicity into good, and tradition into innovation.

If only it was that easy.

In an elaborate game of hidden motives and sinister agendas, more dirty truths from the past will resurface, truths that could bring about victory or bloodshed. But how will the Vasser siblings react when the real threat to their family not only has power and control on the mind, but assassination as well? What will they do when it becomes clear that someone out there wants them destroyed, no matter the price?

The Vassers may have fallen from grace, but now they will rise as notorious.
Available Now - the third book in The Vasser Legacy series, Rulers of Deception.

Review

"Katie Jennings has written a story that is real and containing all of the good and bad of life in a large and influential family. She made the characters come alive and I laughed and cried along with them. "Rise of the Notorious" will quickly find its way to the top of the best seller list and remain there for many weeks and could easily become the best book of the year. If you are a fan of a saga with strong family bonds, romance, suspense, passion, deception, betrayal and so on you must read this book. "Rise of the Notorious" is a hands down winner and a must read book." -Reviewed by Trudi LoPreto for Readers' Favorite

Interesting plot twist, could have moved along a little faster. Dwelled too long on small stuff. It was otherwise a good read

Great second book of this wonderful series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

Rise of the Notorious by Katie Jennings is her second and final book in her Vassar Legacy series. I enjoyed the first book, When Empires Fall, and found this book to be even better.

This book continues the Vassar family saga story; about their elite Hotel chain, and the family we became totally invested in. When we last left off in When Empires Fall, the Vassar family was heading towards hard times with their hotel, after a major scandal. Madison was chosen to be the heir apparent to run the hotel, bypassing others in the family, thereby creating much dissention. Other then the youngest sister, Kennedy, the immediate family, Grant & Linc, and their loves Quinn and Lynette, stood by Madison to continue to work together, no matter what to save the hotel.

Madison was the heroine in this story. In the first book, she was a pivotal character, but not as likable as she is in this book. I really liked Madison's growth, her ability to stand up to fire, as everything around her was falling apart; with scandals, jealousy, betrayals, threats to her and her family. She had many people against her, who were willing to do anything to make sure she would lose the hotel. Katie Jennings did a masterful job showing Madison rise up, as she faces each threat, as well as the false accusations against her. Rise up she did, surprising many, as she became a public figure, with the majority of the people identifying with her, as she became the respected and admired Vassar family leader.

Her romance with Wyatt, played an important part in this book, as she knew she still loved him, and needed to learn to trust him again. What I love about family sagas is that we get to spent time with the family through these hard times. It was great to see them bond together to join forces to find who is behind the plot to destroy Madison, which includes a kidnapping, a murder attempt, as well as the false accusations to ruin Madison and the Vassar family.

This story flows beautifully throughout, as there are many surprises and twists. Who is behind the plot to destroy the family? Who inside the Vassar domain is betraying the family? Will Kennedy be saved? Will Wyatt convince Madison that he truly loves her? Will the hotel survive? You will need to read this book to find out.

One thing you can be sure of is that her brothers will stand beside her, even if they originally were not too happy with Madison taking over the reins of the hotel. I loved seeing Grant with Quinn again, and their love continues to blossom. I liked that Quinn found a way to win over Madison. Linc and Lynette were also a great couple that would have to withstand her father's continual attacks against the Vassars, to help his campaign for reelection.

I thought this was a wonderful series by Jennings, and felt she could have written more books concentrating on other family members. But she does a great job in tying all the loose ends, and bringing together a satisfying climax. If you enjoy family sagas, which takes you on an emotional ride every step of the way, then this series by Katie Jennings is perfect for you.

Writing this review after midnight

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2013

I tried ( I really did) many times to put this one down and go to bed but I couldn't get away from it before I was right back looking on to find out what happens next. There is a real lure to this one in that the cast of characters are mostly young people who are surrounded by power and influence. that same power and the darker side of it has become dangerous in the second book as it has corrupted and twisted their relationships. I think that's why the second one was so hard to put down. the first book introduced the cast of characters but the second one has Madison in the spot light. she has all the elements of the good and dark side, the ambition and the lust for power contained within her. As the action unfolds and the threats become very real it is her character who advances the plot and the whole theme of the story. I thought that was very clever and well worked.
The first book is great, and for different reasons the second one is so much better. the writing opens up a bit and the characters have become so much deeper, so much more layered. and in the treacherous atmosphere of a troubled family empire there is such a thin layer of trust being broken in so many ways that it makes for a really seductive storyline.
If I were to recommend this one I would say read them together, back to back, as if it were one book. I think you will be glad you did.

The Power of Family

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

As proven with the strong platform for this long-awaited sequel in When Empires Fall; Ms. Jennings ability to effortlessly weave between romance, suspense and drama continues flawlessly. Rise of the Notorious starts off where the first book left off with a bang and doesn't slow down. This novel continues our favorite hotel siblings in the gorgeous setting of New York City royalty.

Jealously, greed and scandals continue to cloud the Vasser family. The stakes are raised as Madison takes role to become the new face of the Vasser empire, many start to doubt she can handle such a position left by her grandfather. Even her own brothers Linc and Grant's faith in her is tested as the danger grows greater. Will her past ruin her? Will she surrender to the threats? Will she be able to keep her beloved family safe? Or will her love for her family become her ultimate weakness?

This beautifully-designed book is as well written as the first. And the characters you thought you knew will surprise you. My favorite part of this series is every character holds their own story, even the romantic interests. It's a shame we may never know Wyatt Bailey's true past.

The Vasser Legacy series is a must read for anyone who believes family comes first.

Fun

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed both When Empires Fall and its sequel Rise of the Notorious. A lot. They were fun. The plot twists and turns were interesting and believable (is there much that isn't believable these days?). Were there issues for me? Yes.... Too much stage direction and so-called character development and too often it was the same. And I was surprised that such young people were running the show with such autonomy, especially in a large family business. A better edit would help clean these sorts of thing up. So won't more experience. My issues didn't bother me enough to stop me from reading either book. Nor will they keep me from reading the third if and when the author writes it. I've paid a lot more for books by highly respected authors that I absolutely hated, and some I didn't finish. I liked both of these very much and I finished them both... too quickly.

The first book was good,this one was awesome. I did not want to put it down. As I was noticing I was getting close to finishing I started reading slower to prolong the ending. I felt like I had bonded with the family. Thank you for a awesome read.
