Kami Garcia - Unbreakable

"May the black dove always carry you."

I'm on top of the world because this sequel is like another volume of the Mortal Instruments but instead of demons a bunch of poltergeists are being hunted and exorcized. How badass tis that? Another supernatural Fight Club fighting against all odds tries to save the world from eternal darkness that endangers human kind. Ok, maybe sloppy enough but I can't get tired of these stories. It's too cool for being ignored.

Kennedy gets into a habit of seeing creepy ghosts willing to make her harm. They succeed. Her mother dies and a  pile of kids in their teens comes for her claiming she's part of the Legion and their mission is to kill vengeance spirits plus they need to stop a powerful demon unleashed from hell who is planning to set upon the opaque crowd of negligent people.

It feels like we set out on a stupendous adventure of the Nation's Treasury. Unless Nicholas Cage is not in the package deal, I'm keen on taking part in the treasure-hunting. Except for the fact that the chase is after the Shift, an instrument that allegedly liberate the planet from the evil force of Andras. What story would have an ending without further twist and turns, intricate misteries and outrageous scam? Definitely that would be flat-out lame that's the reason the Shift proves to be an infernal device making Andras possible to possess bodies. I wouldn't entrust my destiny to a bag of unexperienced queer fish but whatever.

The point is a this group is lovely. Although a bit blunt and guilt-striken at least they have each other no matter what. The newbee has to adapt, Kennedy feels she belong with them. After her mother's death she takes root in here which is kind of cute. Apart from the thrilled, action-packed story I love all of the characters: Priest (tech-genious, being the youngest he's certainly the pet of the band) Alara (though-kill-anyone-with-a-coup-d'oeil) and the twins. Lukas and Jared seem to look alike but they don't always look eye to eye. Mainly because Jared most likey killed their parents indirectly. They both fight for Kennedy's attention due to the desperate need for a love triangle in YA books. But after all of the vicious projections of the other world it's nice to have something enlighten the mood. And Jared doesn't have to do much to give me goosebumps. The mysterious-don't-say-a-world-bad-guy vibe is obviously working!

P.S.: A must-to-read sequel
