SUMMARY
I thought the worst of my reaper training was
behind me… turns out I was wrong. Dead wrong.
Molly Bartolucci has done a lot of growing up but after being accused of using illegal magic at her school for necromancers, reaper-in-training Molly is treading lightly. As the destined leader of Anubis’s Chosen, she needs to study hard, train harder, and stay out of trouble.
Uh, right.
It doesn’t help that she’s feeling more than academic about her melt-your-bones hot reaping instructor, Rath. And if her relationship drama isn’t enough to drive her over the edge, she has to deal with mother issues, nosy little sisters, suspicious friends, and an unnamed force stalking her at school.
Then her family is attacked, and her bio-dad ends up comatose in the hospital. Now, Molly has to uncover who’s trying to hurt her loved ones—and all without the help of Anubis.

REVIEW
This
book was absolutely amazing! I loved the first book and was afraid the second
book might not live up to the awesomeness of its predecessor. Turns out I had
nothing to worry about.
As with
Undeadly, the sequel is full of
mystery, laughs, and surprises. The more I discover about Molly and her
abilities, the more I want to know about her and her mysterious family. I love
that this book is something refreshing and new in the paranormal genre in that
it’s about necromancy. Can you imagine a more captivating story than one that
has zombies, ghosts, reapers, necromancers, and Egyptian mythology all rolled
into one? Unchosen gives new meaning
to the term “spellbinding”!
I can’t
tell you much more about this magnificent read without including spoilers. But
this is definitely one series I’ll be reading until the end. Just a pity I have
to wait so long for the next instalment! I loved the characters and easily lost
myself in Molly’s world. The writing is engaging and once or twice I even had
to wipe away a tear.
I
recommend this series to all fans of the paranormal genre. Michele Vail has
created something new and unique, and if you haven’t read the first book yet,
no worries, Unchosen can be read as a
stand-alone.
