Kami Glass is in love with someone she's never met - a boy the rest of the world is convinced is imaginary. This has made her an outsider in the sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale, but she doesn't complain. She runs the school newspaper and keeps to herself for the most part - until disturbing events begin to happen. There has been screaming in the woods and the dark, abandoned manor on the hill overlooking the town has lit up for the first time in 10 years. The Lynburn family, who ruled the town a generation ago and who all left without warning, have returned. As Kami starts to investigate for the paper, she finds out that the town she has loved all her life is hiding a multitude of secrets- and a murderer- and the key to it all just might be the boy in her head. The boy who everyone thought was imaginary may be real...and he may be dangerous.
I absolutely loved the sound of Unspoken, but unfortunately, it just did not work out for me at all. Kami has heard Jared in her head all of her life. Most people just thought she was a kid with an imaginary friend. But then one day, Jared moves to town along with the rest of the Lynburn family. There are a lot of secrets surrounding that family and the town, and Kami is determined to find out what they are. Especially since her family is involved as well.
Unspoken is really boring. That’s honestly all I thought about while reading it. The beginning was quite annoying, as it’s just Kami and her friend Angela talking, and talking some more. Then talking with Ash and Jared. Then more taking with Angela, who likes to take naps (my name is also Angela and I like to take naps, and I would not make an interesting book character). It wasn’t until two-thirds in that I became even slightly interested in what was happening, because Kami finally learns the family secret, and there’s a murder, and magic. Sadly, it was already too late and I’m definitely not curious about what comes next.
