Unbreakable

Unbreakable by Kami Garcia, 305 pages


Kennedy’s mother dies of a heart attack one night while Kennedy is out with friends.  The plan is for her to go to boarding school, because she doesn’t want to live with her aunt.  However, right before she is due to leave, she is attacked by a ghost in her home and two boys, Lukas and Jared, show up to save her.  They explain that they, along with two other teens, form a group called the Legion of the Black Dove, formed centuries ago to protect the world from a demon.  They are the newest members, because the last group, mostly their parents or grandparents, were killed the same night as Kennedy’s mother.  They believe Kennedy is the fifth member of the group.  Kennedy, somewhat disbelieving, goes along with the group and helps to get rid of many vengeful ghosts in their quest to find something they believe will destroy the demon once and for all.  However, Kennedy doesn’t really think she is the last member of the group even as she finds herself hoping that she is.  This is a pretty good story that fans of the Beautiful Creatures series will definitely want to read.  Teens who like advebture ghost stories will enjoy this book.
