Unbreakable by Kami Garcia

Unbreakable by Kami Garcia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Unbreakable is an action-packed, suspense-filled, hauntingly good read. This book is exactly why I don't go to haunted houses.

Kennedy Waters has abandonment issues since her father walked out of her life when she was just a little girl. Her mom and her friend Elle are Kennedy's world. That world is shattered when Kennedy finds her mom dead. Kennedy just wants to spend one more night in the only home she has ever known. Will that choice be the death of her? Jared and Lukas Lockhart break into Kennedy's room, and save her from the same fate that happened to her mother. The twin brothers give Kennedy a crash course in the paranormal world. She learns that her mom was part of a secret society that protects the world from a demon, who is bent on destroying the world. Is it true? Why didn't her mom tell her?

Kami Garcia has the reader tag along with the characters as they learn more about the secret society, and how to defeat the demon. I enjoyed the adventure that this book takes you on. It had me on the edge of my seat, and I can't wait to read what happens next.

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
