She also never had any of the training that the others have had and had no idea that this responsibility was being passed to her. Kennedy is skeptical because her mother never mentioned anything about the group or its history. It was the same way that Kennedy’s mother died, adding to their belief that Kennedy is also a member. The current members are all teenagers because the previous members were all found dead in the same way on the same night. They take Kennedy to meet up with the other two members of the Legion. Lukas and Jared believe that Kennedy is the fifth member. There are always five members of the Legion with membership being passed through family members. They are part of a secret society called the Legion that was created to fight an evil demon that they ancestors accidentally summoned. All three are able to escape, and Kennedy starts to believe Lukas and Jared and some of the craziness they are telling her. It throws knives at them, locks them in the house, and pretty much destroys the place. They all are in her kitchen as the boys try to explain what is going on when a poltergeist starts attacking them.

The next day, Lukas and Jared (the two young men) are waiting for Kennedy outside her house. Two young men come in and destroy the vengeance spirit that is using the cat to steal Kennedy’s breath (basically the spirit is trying to kill her). As she is spending her last night in their house, she wakes up with her cat on her and unable to breathe.

The story follows Kennedy just as her world is falling apart. It did have some of the characteristics that are kind of common in YA lit (new/confusing situation, love triangley, etc.), but the story itself was one that I have not really seen before. It was easy to read, and it stayed interesting the whole time. Kami Garcia co-authored the Beautiful Creaturesseries, and this is her first book on her own. Unbreakable is the first book in the Legion series.
