Nice to follow our character through her next adventure. Not as tight or feasible as the first novel. But still enjoyable.

The Invisible Brokenhearted Book 2 eBook Amelia Kahaney Reviews

**Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy**

While it didn't manage to pack quite the emotional punch as THE BROKENHEARTED, THE INVISIBLE has it's own way of twisting the reader's heartstrings. A thrilling and action-packed follow-up to THE BROKENHEARTED, THE INVISIBLE will grab readers from the beginning and remind them why they loved book one so much.

Kahaney has created a world that manages to be both terrifyingly similar to our world, yet so dysfunctional. The physical world-building was again a bit weak, and I had a hard time not super-imposing Bedlam over Chicago, again. It's hard to get a sense of Anthem's surroundings beyond the South Side/North Side dichotomy. I also would have liked if Anthem had explored her father's connection to the Syndicate a little more, instead of taking his flimsy explanation at face value.

However, I can see how those things fell by the wayside, because THE INVISIBLE manages to be fast-paced and breath-taking. Anthem manages to continuously find herself in situations that the reader can't help but wonder if she'll make it out. The villain is creepy and brilliant, but with enough weakness that allows it to be believable that Anthem can take him fair and square. Like in THE BROKENHEARTED, Kahaney has no problem killing off characters, and jerking the reader's emotions, making THE INVISIBLE an experience you won't forget.

All in all, the Brokenhearted series is one that I'm completely, totally taken with. With the subtle twists and turns, to the flat out action movie-esque sequences, it's a reading experience that lends itself to feeling more like you're watching something unfold before you, rather than reading words on a page. It's easy to get engrossed in the story, and any little complaints I may have definitely don't detract from the overall enjoyment. This is one I would recommend to any reader of young adult fiction, from actual young adults, to adults who don't know what they're missing!
Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales

Quick & Dirty A unique YA story that features one of my favorite things Superheroes!!! While I didn’t love everything about this one it was still a really fun read and I would highly recommend it!

Opening Sentence Spring has finally come in Bedlam, and the air in the arena smells like newly blooming roses, popcorn, and manure.

The Review

Anthem Fleet is trying to get used to her new life. After an experimental surgery that left her with superhuman powers, she has become an unidentified hero in the dangerous city of Bedlam. The gap between the wealthy and the poor continues to grow every single day. The privileged people live in the North side while the poor live in the South side. The crime is at an all time high and then a new group called “The Invisible” start attacking the wealthy. They are ruthless and don’t care what or who the causalities are in their venture to fulfill their goal of making the two sides of the city more equal. The mysterious leader of “The Invisible” continues to wreak havoc and leave cryptic messages to all those rich enough to live on the North Side. The only hope left for the city to survive is Anthem. Her new abilities will be tested and if she isn’t strong enough then all of Bedlam will be destroyed including everyone Anthem loves.

Anthem is an amazing heroine and I actually liked her much better in this book versus the first one. She has really grown into someone that I felt could be a true hero. She lost the whiny/vengeful attitude that she previously had and she is just more about protecting the innocent. She is a smart, beautiful girl that grew up in a privileged home. She’s not perfect and like all great characters she has flaws that make her feel more realistic. I was so glad that I was able to connect with her much better and I am excited to see where her story goes next.

Ford was easily one of my favorite characters in the first book. He is such a great guy with a heroic heart. The bravery he shows is very admirable and I just couldn’t help but love him. But I was really disappointed with his character in this installment. Honestly, he is hardly in the book at all and I felt that the only reason he was even included was so that there would be some kind of romance in the story. Speaking of the romance I thought that it felt very rushed. It was really hot and cold which didn’t make sense to me. Anthem and Ford had an amazing connection in the first book and instead of expounding on that I felt that the author tried to force the romance instead of letting it develop naturally. It’s not that I don’t love these two together because I do, but all the things I loved about them in the first book were missing in this one. I was truly disappointed with the way Ford’s character was developed and I really hope that we can get back to the Ford I loved in the first book.

Invisible is a fast paced story with engaging characters, intense action, and a just overall entertaining. There were moments throughout the story where I did get a little confused as to what was going on, but for the most part everything flowed really well. There were some great plot twists that I wasn’t expecting, which is always a huge plus for me. The villain was a huge plus for me, not only was he totally creepy but he was very well done. Obviously I unfortunately wasn’t a fan of the romance but I think there is hope that it will get better in the next book. While I feel like I am being pretty negative about this book, overall it really was a great read. It obviously had some serious flaws but the one thing it really has going for it is that it is memorable. Even thought I didn’t love the first book, I can still recall pretty much everything that happened a year after reading it and I feel that it will be the same for the second book. Personally, I haven’t read hardly any young adult books that feature superheroes, and I honestly don’t know why because I love them. Because it is unique and very entertaining, I still would highly recommend this series — even with all its flaws!!!

Notable Scene

Just then, something white passes in front of my face and lands on my knee, between the folds of my plaid Cathedral uniform skirt. A flower. I pick it up and examine it. It’s a cut daisy, the stem about an inch long. I look up at the ceiling. There’s a black tarp hanging there, in the very center of the chapel, fastened at three corners. A few more daisies spill from one of the corners.

It isn’t like Cathedral to do something like this. Especially not inside the chapel, which is reserved for solemn morning masses and dignified graduations and award ceremonies.

Was this Principal Bang’s idea? I turn to Z and point upward, rolling my eyes. But then another corner of the tarp comes undone, and we’re all doused in daisies. And along with the daisies, tiny slips of paper.

Debbie is still making her speech, but I’m not listening until she stops and screams out, “WHAT IS THIS?”

She waves a slip of paper in her hand. Everyone is picking daisies out of their hair, rumbles of conversation growing louder.

“Is this a prank?” Debbie yells. “It’s not funny, you guys!”

I pick up one of the slips from the ground and my blood freezes in my veins when I read the words, hand-scrawled in blue ballpoint Like the humble daisy, The Invisible grow every time it rains. Expect us, children. We are everywhere.

FTC Advisory HarperTeen provided me with a copy of The Invisible. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
Amelia Kahaney's THE INVISIBLE does what you hope all sequels will do improve upon the predecessor. If THE BROKENHEARTED is the origin story, then THE INVISIBLE is where the series-proper starts. (Unfortunately, a third novel wasn't contracted.)

Anthem Fleet's chimerical heart and ballet skills are well needed to defeat The Invisible, a secret organisation kidnapping children from rich families in order to raise money for the poor part of Bedlam. The wealthy side of town was built to literally raise them above the damaged side, so that flooding wouldn't inconvenience the cashed-up.

THE INVISIBLE sees Anthem confronting her own economic privilege. The well-off have to actually lose something, such as a child, before they'll consider donating half their fortune to aid worthy causes low down.

Amelia Kahaney writes THE INVISIBLE with stunning imagery. The scene where Anthem watches skyscrapers collapse, not knowing if her Tower will fall next, is genuinely thrilling.

I was surprised to discover that I'd rated the first book in the series only two stars. THE INVISIBLE is worth double that.
Nice to follow our character through her next adventure. Not as tight or feasible as the first novel. But still enjoyable.
