While Unbreakable: The Legion left a few more questions unanswered than I prefer, the elements of intrigue, adventure, mystery, romance and the supernatural are compelling enough for me to pick up the second book in the series when it’s available. The challenge with any series is to wrap up a story from one book in a way that satisfies readers while setting up the action to come in the next installment.

Using weapons both ancient and modern, the teens struggle to stay one step ahead of the evil that seeks to destroy them. Kennedy and her new friends go from one adventure to another, solving riddles and collecting hidden pieces that will help them defeat Andras, the demon who was set loose over 200 years before. Written by Kami Garcia, coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures novels, Unbreakable: The Legion Book 1, is the first of a series involving teens battling supernatural forces.

The official word is a heart attack, but when Kennedy is nearly killed a month later by a supernatural force, she finds out the bizarre truth: her mother was part of a secret society charged with protecting the world from a dangerous demon. until the night she comes home to find her mother dead.
