He is
here... and he could be anyone.
Kennedy
Waters lives in a world where vengeance spirits kill, ghosts keep secrets, and
a demon walks among us–a demon she accidentally set free.
Now
Kennedy and the other Legion members–Alara, Priest, Lukas, and Jared–have to
hunt him down. As they learn more about the history of the Legion and the
Illuminati, Kennedy realizes that the greatest mystery of all does not belong
to any secret order, but to her own family. With the clock ticking and the life
of someone she loves hanging in the balance, Kennedy has to ask the question
she fears most: what is it about her past that has left her Unmarked?”
My Review: This
sequel is just as good as the first book, maybe even better. This series is
awesome so far. I wonder if it’s just a trilogy or if there will be more. It’s
got secret societies, evil spirits and a demon. It’s also got an awesome
heroine with a special gift: an eidetic memory. Kennedy is awesome and she’s
also a talented artist. As someone who also paints, I can relate to her. If I
had her ability, my art would be so much more realistic. Sadly, Kennedy is sent
to a boarding school, but then, the day after Christmas, is rescued by the
Legion members: Jared, Lukas, Alara and Priest, with Kennedy’s best friend
Elle, in toe. They’re trying to find away to stop the demon, Andras, who
Kennedy accidently set loose in the previous book.
We also learn about another secret society, The
Illuminati, which Kennedy has an unknown connection too. I hear all about this
Illuminati conspiracy stuff from the History Channel, but the author takes it
to a more supernatural level. The Illuminati may not be evil as the Legion
thinks. They want to stop Andras too. Andras can only be killed a certain way,
and he has to be inside a body. He’s been consuming souls and possessing many
different people, but what happens when he possesses someone Kennedy cares about?
This story has so many layers and is a fast read.
There’s a lot going n and tons of mysteries and secrets to uncover. One of my
favorite things about this book is the artwork and symbols inside the book. Not
many YA book include illustrations, usually only middle grade and under have
them. There are a lot of symbols that you may see on Supernatural or
Constantine. There’s also a few paintings too.
This book quenches the thirst of Supernatural and
Constantine/Hell Blazer fans. It’s like the Winchesters as teenage twin
brothers and part of a secret society called the Legion, but the story is told
from the perspective of a teen girl. That’s basically what this book is like.
This book series and Anna Dressed in Blood are the only YA books I can truly
say are similar to my favorite TV show, Supernatural. I recommend it to those
who love YA paranormal and Supernatural. There’s evil spirits and demons and symbols
and devil’s traps! Also, recommend it to fans of shows like Ghost Adventures,
Ghost Hunters, Constantine, Grimm and other paranormal shows and horror movies.
Cover Art Review: The cover is great with the big gothic
U and a face. I love the texture of the cover.
