Finally we get to review the second book of JP McLean’s “The Gift Legacy” Series, and continue to enjoy this FANTASTIC and magical adventure. If you haven’t read the first book, Secret Sky, do yourself a favor and DO IT. Secret Sky one of the most original, mysterious and magical paranormal romances ever! – Other fantastic books by JP McLean here – SO! We get are back with amazing characters like Avery, and Emelynn , our MC, as the second book starts off with a thrilling scene and heart-pumping narration! OHHHHH YEEEEEAHHHH! JP McLean knows how to grip us at once and make us curious in the first scenes. Awesome!
The ever-inviting narrative of JP McLean makes this book easy and pleasant without ever taking out the underlying tension. We, readers, get lost on the story quickly and continue to enjoy this second book as if we were reading the first book five minutes ago. This, because JP McLean moves on with the second book and gives discreet recaps.
As we read, we can see that there are possible conflicts brewing that if not handled well by our main character, things will get complicated and catastrophic real fast. This is great because it adds another layer of expectation and curiosity to the book. Nice! Possibilities and betrayal are woven in the background due to conflict of interests between powerful parts and the covey. The mystery of Emelynn father re-appears and we know that from the previous book that he may be related to Jolene! But in what way? Will our suspicions be confirmed this time? Because it seems like it’s a pivotal piece between the mysteries that we are seeing develop.
If you love dark humor and sarcasm, this book is filled with it, as our main character, Emelynn, is one of the queens of sarcasm! Hahahahahah. There are scenes that you will have to stop and catch your breath due to her remarks and thoughts. Hhahahahah. GREAT point by JP Mclean. PRICELESS! Hahahahahahahahha.
There’s another thing that caught our attention on our MC. Emelynn was very observant towards things outside and inside of her, showing wisdom and quirks that readers will relate to. THANK GOD the author didn’t take out the determined and relentless part of our MC. She is a woman that fights for her own skin and for others, and never let’s herself be a victim. She is a true inspiration. LOVED THAT!
As the story matures and the bases of this second book are all finished, which doesn’t take long, the main plot starts to roll. There is an enemy within the covey and he is closer than they all think. An intelligent individual, or group, lurking and gaining on them without revealing himself. Trouble looms higher and tension increases as it seems like Emelyn is becoming too dependent of her abilities. A dangerous addiction that can put her and other’s at risk? Things only get spicier as there the police starts to investigate the murders of the Wrights. Tip: You will want to punch someone in the throat, we assure you, ahahhaha. VERY well made by JP McLean! AWESOME “antagonist” in there. LOVELY!
JP Mclean, with her grace of narrative keeps every secret in the shadows, including who is this… villain, the person, or organization’s identity, his, hers, or their intentions unknown even from us readers. There are so many mysteries at once, so many possibilities and so little threads to follow that… we have no other choice but to keep reading and pay minute attention to every word written in this book. Call this a world-class Romance indeed. *Claps*
But the book isn’t only tension and fighting, or running. This masterpiece also has many relaxed and fun scenes! Games and humorous chats present themselves as the covey tries to work as a unit and as they try to prepare for this threat. It felt real, and the conversations were relatable and as expected on moments of relaxation.
One of the things that we have appreciated was that JP McLean made the emotional conflicts relatable, detailed and explicit. Our MC reacted, thought and felt like a real person when dealing with heartbreak, hurt, and other conflicts and it was beautiful to read . *Claps*
GUUUUUUYYYSSSS, there is a BIG surprise in this book that will shock you! OHHHHH MYYYY GOOOODDDDD!! We wish we could tell you, but you know our rules: No spoilers. But let us say this: It’s a surprise worth reading 500 pages for. OHHHH MY GOOOOOOODDDD! You guys will drop! Damn…
The ROMANCE! OH the DRAMA! Oh man! This is how you do it. Ok. Warning: JP McLean had no mercy, when it came to hitting us with the feels in this book. Nope, she put on brass-knuckles of emotions and sucker punched the reader in the heart. OMG! This is intense right here!! Damn! LOVE IT!
Secrets, love affairs, betrayal, NEW POWERS, revelations, and lots of heart-pumping scenes. Hidden Enemy is a masterpiece that will leave you breathless. Grab the first book, and this one, right now. This is a series you can’t dare not to read.
