Story Blurb:

Welcome to the Kingdom of Hades, where even its prodigal princess sleeps lightly.

After fighting Soul Stealers in Detroit, Khara hoped to return home to find answers in her father’s realm. But the land of the dead offers little information, and far too much tragedy. Now cut off from her brothers, and left only with her dark and unreliable companion Oz, Khara must navigate the centuries-old webs of deceit and betrayal, all while eluding the Underworld’s most depraved inhabitant. But she soon finds an unexpected ally in her adopted sister Persephone. Together, they endeavor to right a terrible wrong. And as Khara soon discovers, there’s more riding on her success than she ever thought possible.

Read on for my thoughts on Unseen.  No true spoilers, promise.

Unseen starts immediately when Unborn left us…

Khara has returned to the Underworld searching for explanations, which won’t be immediately delivered.  And the plot thickens significantly.

I am not usually one to give spoilers in my reviews – and I won’t here either.  But I also usually give a bit more of a detailed review than I am going to do now.  Why?  Because I truly think this one has to be read… not talked about.

Yes, the first novel, Unborn did a lot of world building and setting up the characters for us.  Unseen takes the story to the next level.  I suspect the third will answer a lot of questions that have gone unanswered so far.

Again, I’m giving this one a 3 outta 5 rating.  I liked it, I enjoyed the story and delving deeper into the reasons for Khara to be yanked between worlds as she has been.  I think at some point Oz may just prove to be Khara’s mate — but I’m not sure.  And that is what a building, ongoing story should be like – leaving the reader unsure of the conclusion.  Not everyone is going to enjoy the Unborn series – that’s okay, not every book is for everyone.  But for those that enjoy this style of book, it fits the bill perfectly.

*I received an e-ARC of Unseen from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*

Unseen is available at Amazon for the Kindle.
