I just wanted to be a normal girl in a normal high school with normal friends and normal habits. And the thing I longed to do was not normal at all.
It's really hard to write a review for the second book in a series without giving too much away. If you haven't read Banished yet, I highly suggest you do so as it is an excellent, fast-paced read with a unique twist on necromancy. This book continues Hailey Tarbell's story as she struggles to pretend to be normal and hide her unique healing abilities. Overall, Unforsaken is very similar to Banished as we run into many of the same villains who continue to have the same goal of capturing Hailey and others like her for their abilities. If given the choice, I think I would have liked to see these two books meshed into one. The first book was exciting and engaging but the second felt a little as if there simply wasn't enough new material for an entire book. That said, together these books make a complete story and this one is definitely worth reading if you've read Banished. If you like to read books about necromancers and people with special powers, be sure to check out this reading list.
