Seeking Unseen
It’s been two years since Angel learned the magic chip of wood inside her locket would grant any wish. What is taking her so long to choose? An alarming discovery about her beloved foster brother Zack makes the decision easy…but everything else gets complicated after she runs into her old friend Melinda, who demands to go along for the return to Toch Island.
… but it’s Melinda’s journey.
Melinda doesn’t fit in with the magical freaks any more than she did with the losers back in Florida, but she never wanted to belong before. A secret world surrounds her where even the bugs have magic. … She’s more of an outsider than ever. So when ex-con Doran Ashe slinks out of the shadows and offers her an easy road to powers of her own, Melinda follows him despite — or maybe because of — everyone’s warnings.
Book 2 of the Toch Island Chronicles series.
the second book in the Toch Island chronicles isn’t as good as the first, but just barely. Kat is a talented YA writer, and Toch Island is a great little world. The only issue I had with it is that the male character in this book seems a bit more wish fulillment/ hunky boy than the multi-faceted male character in the first novel.
Minor gripe though. It’s an excellent YA book that doesn’t talk down to its audience nor hammer their ears with preaching.
