Katharine Tulman knew peace at her uncle's estate couldn't
last. What she didn't expect was a midnight attempted
kidnapping on her uncle. Seeing how unsafe things are, she,
her uncle, and a few friends flee to France. What she
doesn't know is that trouble is already there, and nowhere
is safe anymore.
A SPARK UNSEEN takes place about two years after the ending
of THE DARK UNWINDING. What I love about that gap is that
you see how truly consistent Katharine's character is.
During that time with Lane away, she received word he was
dead, but she doesn't let that bring her down. She holds
hope and an energy to do something. That, combined with her
unorthodox elegance, reminds me in this sequel why I love
her character so much.
The change of setting to France is appropriate and above
all, exciting and different. Sharon Cameron captures the
change perfectly uses it to create surprising twists in the
plot that I didn't see coming. While I feel the first book,
THE DARK UNWINDING, focuses on the growth of Katharine as a
character, A SPARK UNSEEN now takes that changed and matured
young woman and gives her a mission and something to
protect. The new characters introduced are hilarious in some
cases and highly suspicious in others. My only real issue
with the book is how quickly Katharine is to work with a new
French man after her betrayal in THE DARK UNWINDING.
However, that did not stop me from loving the story or
getting heavily discouraged with her character. It is just
something I wish was a little different.
If you enjoyed the first book, I highly suggest reading the
sequel. It is even more intense than the first, and there is
no shortage of action and excellent plot. It captures you
just as well, if even a little more so, than the first, and
contains an ending that is both open and closed enough to
leave you feeling very satisfied.
When Katharine Tulman foils an attempt to kidnap her Uncle
Tully, she finds herself caught up in international
intrigue. Aware that there are people who want to turn her
uncle's mechanical fish into an explosive device, and
unsure of who to trust, she decides to fake her uncle's
death and flee to Paris in search of Lane Moreau, her
uncle's assistant.
