Unborn by Amber Lynn Natusch

5.0

~I lost some sleeps because of this book, but it was worth it.


Khara is the adoptive daughter of Hades, she have spend centuries living in the Underworld. Where she learned to be indifference, learned to not to feel fear, and learned to adaptive to survive in a harsh environment.

But then she was taken away from her father, and dispose in the human world. There she would learn not only she may be the only living daughter of Ares, but she has many half-brothers and one true brothers as well.

I don't want to give too much away, because I really think this is a book worth of your time. But I'll give you another hint. Aside from the offsprings of gods and goddness, there are also different types of Angles, Light One, Dark One, Fallen One, and an Unborn.

Interesting huh

To be honest, at first I was skeptical of how the combination of Greek Mythology and Angles would worked out. But then this book really taken me by surprise. I can say I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the setting of this book, the concept of offspring of Ares were like the supernatural polices in the human world. I enjoyed reading about all the characters in this book, they were well-written and developed. I liked how the author didn't overload you with all the information on gods and goddness, which could easily overwhelm you. Although the pace of this book wasn't fast, but there are loads of intriging information and tons of actions that well keep you well-engaged to the story.


Khara's character was kind of unusual, she talked like she lived in an ancient time. At first she seem cold and too logical that she was almost inhuman-like. But at the same time she can be quite native. I thought she was a very likable character. While reading Unborn Khara really grown on me, I especially enjoyed reading the small changes in her throughout the book.

Khara's brothers really stood out in Unborn, they each have a very distinctive personality, and not everyone was nice and amiable. And Oz, must not forget about Oz. Oz was definitely a force in this book, I couldn't help but wonder the story behind his attitude and behaviors.

In case you were wondering, you won't find much of romance in this book. Potential love-interest? Yes.

Even though the concept of modern mythologies and angels aren't exactly new, but I thought this book managed to have a fresh intake on the subject. I thought Unborn was a great start of a Urban Fantasy series, and I can't wait to read the next book!

Happy Reading!! XO
