Journal Reviews
Horn Book | 09/01/2013
High School. In Unspoken (rev. 9/12), Kami Glass faced down malevolent magic-user Rob Lynburn and broke her lifelong telepathic bond with his nephew Jared. Kami's investigative journalism skills again prove invaluable as she and her allies (including the few members of the magical Lynburn family Kami trusts, albeit reluctantly) race to identify the rest of Rob's faction of corrupt sorcerers and stop them before they attempt to gain more power through horrifying means. Meanwhile, Jared is furious with Kami for breaking their psychic bond, and her confusing attraction to his less-troubled cousin Ash only widens the rift between them. Although the first installment's witty banter is also present here, this sequel is darker, with higher stakes and more suspense. Brennan continues to explore the complexities of Kami and Jared's turbulent relationship; even without the telepathic connection, the two struggle to reconcile their longing for closeness and the need for privacy and independence. Heroine Kami's competence and outspokenness -- she's also not afraid to make difficult choices -- and a whopping dose of girl detective-style sleuthing make this series a refreshing take on the paranormal romance genre. katie bircher. 359pg.

Kirkus Reviews | 08/01/2013
Middle-book syndrome strikes hard in this nouveau-gothic paranormal sequel. Intrepid girl reporter Kami Glass and her allies expect power-hungry sorcerer Rob Lynburn to take revenge after his murderous schemes are thwarted. When a brilliantly creepy Halloween attack is followed by demands for a midwinter human sacrifice, they are left with only weeks to muster their defenses. It's a promising setup, but the story provides only perfunctory glimpses of intensive historical research, martial arts practice and magical training, devoting chapters instead to relationship angst: friendships tested by unrequited crushes and families riven by lies and divided loyalties. Kami in particular anguishes over both her romantic triangle with the near-identical Lynburn cousins and the magical link with her that both covet. Shifting viewpoints start plot threads that simply disappear, and while the snarky banter is as witty as ever, it sits oddly amid all the interpersonal melodrama and looming danger. The (mostly offstage) villains finally return in a bloody confrontation, with disastrous results only surpassed by the macabre slaughter the supposed good guys inflict on their own side. Everything leads to a gruesome cliffhanger contrived to leave readers desperate for the final volume. A hot mess of a book but weirdly compelling; buy where the first has eager fans. (Fantasy. 12 & up). 368pg. KIRKUS MEDIA LLC, c2013.
~VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates Magazine - Retired Journal) | 10/01/2013
3Q 4P J. The second installment of The Lynburn Legacy continues the story of Kami Glass and her band of high school journalists who are trying to get to the bottom of the magical history of their town and to prevent an evil wizard from taking over. Rob Lynburn, father of Kami's love interest, Ash, would have the whole town fall under his spells and offer up a human sacrifice to fortify his power. Kami had previously been psychically joined to Ash's cousin, Jared, but the severing of that magical connection has left them both off-balance and confused about their feelings for each other. This series, which began with Unspoken (Random House, 2012), will be a hit with the right audience. Kami is a charming protagonist--full of vinegar and spice. The dialogue is humorous, the characters are attractive and smart, and the action moves along at a good pace. Fans of romantic fantasy will devour it, but those with more discriminating literary taste might find it wanting--school libraries would be better off spending their money elsewhere, but it will do well in the public library.--Laura Lehner. 384p. VOICE OF YOUTH ADVOCATES, c2013.
