A dishonourable legacy. A powerful enemy. A future threatened.

While recovering from a psychopath’s savage attack, Emelynn Taylor learns the ugly truth: deceit spawned her gift of flight, and ruthless brutality safeguards it.

But knowing the truth doesn’t prepare Emelynn for the terrorist who rips her world apart. And when the escalating violence spreads to the inner circle of her covert community, Emelynn uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to expose the gift and all those who share it.

Emelynn joins forces with a man she doesn’t trust and a family she doesn’t know to fight a menace that cloaks itself in lies. And when she lands at the feet of a dangerous enemy, Emelynn must face her worst fears to save the people she loves—and she must do it alone.

The third book in The Gift Legacy series, Burning Lies is a thriller that skirts the edges of reality in a world within our own. Step inside and escape the ordinary: take flight with Emelynn Taylor.



Burning Lies is a dark supernatural thriller, perfect for fans of JR Ward, Deborah Harkness, Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, and Keri Arthur.

This book is intended for an adult audience.

(Burning Lies was previously published as The Gift: Redemption)

Burning Lies (The Gift Legacy, #3)
by J.P. McLean
Review for Creative Edge Publicity.
The emotional ride of finding a connection to the wider world and loosing that which marks our memories.
Emelynn is on a quest to control not only the gift she got from Jolene, but also the history that she did not quite grasp. Going to her half brothers grave, seeing Jolene's world, and the family influence is only the beginning. Its Jolene's enemies that will be her greatest threat. The stories and lies of the family that caused Jolene to escape the safety of the Tribunal, but also put at risk her own life, her family's life and all whom held her dear. This book uncovers those stories in the most heart wrenching and violent manner. A dramatic chapter in the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the third instalment in JP McLean’s “The Gift” series. McLean’s world-building and characterisation is impeccable, and her imagery is fresh and memorable. This is a book that I picked up whenever I had a spare moment, and, as the story built to its climactic end, I literally sat on the edge of my seat with anticipation.

I am completely sold into the series at this point, and I’m eager to read the next book!

The third book in The Gift Legacy series is as mesmerizing as its prequels, “Awakening” and “Revelation”. The characters continue to change and grow and the story becomes more complex. The enemies are more sinister and the lines between good and evil are often blurred. “Redemption” is an action-packed novel with an unforgettable, nail-biting, ‘fast and furious’ finale, but also a story of loyalty, friendship, trust and love. Fast-paced, sensual, fun and fanciful … I loved it.

This book was an apt ending for the trilogy I felt! It was full of suspense as were the others. I enjoyed learning about the ghosting & the families that ran the group & their purpose. I'm hoping that J P McLean has something on the burner for us in the future. This has been an amazing journey! I have and will recommend this trilogy to all the readers I know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trust and Jeopardy
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019
This book certainly adds more twists and turns to Em’s tale. She's only just recovering from the attack in the last book when this one starts. So much happens in this book. Em doesn't know who to trust, and that is probably a good thing because trust and relationships (both between individuals and with a group) definitely seem to be shifting sands in this series. Much going on with the Tribunal and the Redeemers. This book feels darker than the other two; I would say it contains several layers of darkness. The entire world of the Fliers is in jeopardy on several fronts. This is a long book, but it is a fast-paced read. I found Em’s evolving relationships with Mason and James to be fascinating to follow. A little bit of lightness is present when Em becomes a part of her best friend's bridal party. A gripping and page-turning thriller, but you should definitely read the books in order to get a sense of the scope of this just-off-normal series.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, Entertaining, and Character-Driven Paranormal Thriller...A MUST READ!
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was a truly captivating and entertaining read. The author always does such an incredible job of crafting a narrative that allows readers to pick up on the important plot points and themes found in previous entries of the series without it feeling like a full recap of the series overall. It felt natural and flowed smoothly, and allowed for the character’s evolution and the mystery unfolding within the narrative to come alive.

The evolution of these characters was so mesmerizing. Emelynn’s journey from the previous book sees her recovering both physically and mentally from the abduction and torture she endured at the hands of a madman and his team, and her story of confronting that trauma and learning to take back the power that had been lost during that harrowing time was so important both to the story and to the overall theme of the violence women face far too often in today’s world. The gripping way that readers are on the edge of their seats trying to understand who can be trusted and who cannot is what makes this story shine, as you spend most of the time trying to figure out if you should hate or love a character, (except Manse, who everyone just hates).

A powerful, engaging, and character-driven narrative, author J.P. McLean’s “Burning Lies” is a must-read novel! The paranormal/fantasy-driven thriller is the perfect next chapter in this ever-growing series, and the twists and turns the narrative takes not only enhance the growing mythos of the Fliers and those around them but Em’s own past and her connection to the family she’s lost over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book!

Emelynn lives in her beautiful cottage on the edge of the ocean, the home of her parents before her father died. Her mother moves her to Toronto as a child, and when she is old enough Emelynn returns to her old home. It becomes her sanctuary, a place she truly loves.

Having been given a special gift when she was a child, Emelynn only learns how to use it when she has grown up.

The first two books explain her flying capabilities, and at the end of Hidden Enemy, Emelynn discovers she has another skill, one that she doesn’t know how to use. It’s called Ghosting, and it is the ability to make herself invisible.

Emelynn belongs to a ‘covey’, of people who are also fliers. Each area has its own group, and they are all governed by the highly skilled fliers called the Tribunal Novem, who also possess other special skills.

This is a group that is exceptional and is greatly feared by the coveys. Burning Lies is about a common enemy to both the fliers and the Tribunal. The latter want to bring Emelynn into their fold. Something that she doesn’t want because their methods are violent, as she experienced first hand. Plus their secrets and methods make them untrustworthy.

This fantasy story turns into a sharp-tailed thriller. The tension ramps up and doesn’t stop. Just when you think Emelynn, can breathe again, something else happens and there’s never a good time to put it down.

Redemption, Book III in this trilogy, is as riveting as the two prequels. I think J.P. McLean has got what it takes to hook the reader and keep them mesmerized through any number of books. The characters have grown and developed and my concern for Emelynne Taylor is overwhelming sometimes. Like last time, the moment I finished this book, I moved on to Book Four, Penance.

I began Book 3 in The Gift trilogy with high hopes that it would follow the first two which gave me such pleasure and enjoyment that I could barely believe it would. I swear these books get better yet I think it is because they have captured my imagination to such a degree that I think about the characters, even when I’m not reading them. It was J P McLean at her 6* best; she had me forgetting to get meals, up late into the night, only to wake thinking about the story where I left it. And once I read THE END she had me reaching for the Amazon page to get the next one.
I don’t read fantasy, but this is a glimpse of a world, not unlike my own, in places the other side of the world that I find fascinating. This book, like the first two, builds up to an exciting crescendo, so much so, that sometimes you have to force yourself to breathe…..ah, James……no I won’t give the plot away. Just to say that all of her characters are memorable, I think about them, how I imagine them and that makes for me a good writer.
