Unbreakable
by Kami Garcia
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Kami Garcia’s solo venture but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Unbreakable is a fabulous start to an interesting new series and I am eager for more in this new world from Kami Garcia.
Unbreakable has been compared to the tv show, Supernatural, and I couldn’t find a better comparison. To be honest though, there were a few too many similarities between the show and the book. I could not stop comparing things between the show and the book. That’s truly the only reason I gave Unbreakable 4 stars instead of 5. If you haven’t seen Supernatural, you won’t have this problem but if you do watch the show, just try and stop making comparisons.
The characters were fabulous. Kennedy starts off a little whiny and I was almost positive that I was going to hate her. I thought she was going to be one of those girls who needed a man to protect her. At first, it does seem like that’s the route she’s going to take but that ended up not being the case at all. She’s eager to learn how to hunt and kill ghosts. She knows that she’s a risk to the Legion until she knows how to defend herself and she wants to change that. She’s fierce and awesome and pretty bad-ass, just like the rest of the Legion. Jared and Lukas are twins who are both super hot. They both have different reasons for wanting to help Kennedy but they are both drawn to her and she’s drawn to both of them. It was a little instalovey but not too bad. Priest and Alara were better than Jared and Lukas, in my opinion. Priest was my favorite. He was a well rounded character that I hope to learn more about in the next book. Alara was a little bitchy at first but I grew to like her.
The story is super creepy and I loved that! I’m not a big fan of horror stories but Kami Garcia did it right. The ghosts, the demons, everything was perfect. Normally horror books don’t scare me. I actually find them cheesy a lot of the time. This time I was actually creeped out and I applaud Kami Garcia for that.
Overall, Unbreakable is a must read for horror fans. I loved it and I can’t wait for more!
