Still, Kami and Jared find their friendship an impossible habit to break, and if they’re going to solve the mystery of Jared’s family and stop the killings in Sorry-in-the-Vale, they’re going to have to stand together.īrennan knocks another one out of the park! Something of a departure from Demon’s Lexicon in concept, Unspoken winds hilarious dialogue, dark secrets, and a flood of emotional conflict into a tightly-crafted Gothic gem. Worse, proximity amplifies their connection so that they cannot shut each other out, and direct contact creates an overwhelming maelstrom of shared emotions. Kami finds Jared completely different in person: rude, arrogant, broody, rebellious, and infuriating.

Oh, yeah, and the other Lynburn boy is the presumed-imaginary Jared, a real person with whom Kami shares an inexplicable psychic link.Īfter a lifetime of living in each other’s thoughts, meeting in person should feel like a dream come true.

One of the teenage Lynburn boys is beyond adorable and has a thing for Kami.

Dead bodies start turning up in the woods, apparent victims of human sacrifice. When the mysterious Lynburn family, original denizens of Sorry-in-the-Vale, returns to town, Kami gets all the news she can handle. She wouldn’t trade Jared for anything. He’s more than a best friend, he’s an important part of Kami, even if he’s not real. After all, having an imaginary friend is semi-normal in elementary school, but keeping him around through junior high and spacing out to have mental conversations with him in front of your real-life friends doesn’t exactly help a girl blend with her peers. Kami’s social cred isn’t exactly sky-high thanks to Jared, the imaginary friend whose voice she’s heard in her mind all her life. Besides, she gets all the moral support a girl could want from the voice in her head. Unlike Angela, though, Kami relishes a challenge. Establishing a quality publication will challenge her, especially since her entire staff consists of herself and her BFF Angela, who’s only on board for the chance to nap on the faculty lounge couch during staff meetings.

In the sleepy English village of Sorry-on-the-Vale, Kami Glass, girl reporter, has a nose for news and is intent upon turning her new position as editor of the school newspaper into a satisfying career in journalism. Is Brennan a one-trilogy wonder, or will The Lynburn Legacy measure up to the dark and delightful Demon’s Lexicon? Stay tuned after the publication info for the answer!
