Richie Tankersley Cusick: THE UNSEEN 1


Mysterious, scary, the Unseen 1 which contains two books of the series including It Begins and Rest in Peace.  It described how Lucy Denninson, a high school teen whose mother was dead, moved to live with her aunt and step-cousin Angela.  During her first few days in her stays, when she found herself being stalked by a stranger at night, she escaped to a cemetery and suddenly fell into an open grave.  She then saw a girl being stabbed and was in her last minutes.  The girl then grabbed her hands hard, actually transferring some mysterious power to her and told her not to tell anyone about it.  Knowing that someone was murdered, Lucy was struggling to tell or not to.  She also received terrible nightmares and visions, making her unable to sleep well every night.  She also felt that someone was stalking her.    When this mysterious Bryon appeared, who was said to help her, she told everything to him and finally figured out that the murdered girl was Katherine, Bryon's sister, who was believed to be a fortune-telling and crazy girl.  But then Angela disappeared with a stranger.   
Through reading The Unseen 1, learning to treasure things around you is one of the moral I have learnt from it.  Lucy just met Byron for a few days and told her most of her secrets to him, but then he killed through a car accident while Lucy was taken away to be healed by a secret person.  Lucy regretted a lot for not telling Bryon all of her secrets so they could have figured out more stuff behind this secret.  It was just such a pity that Byron was killed. 
This book is really kind of interesting and mysterious, as the author said all the time.  It was kind of crazy for Lucy to let a stranger, who blindfolded her, kissed her without even knowing who he was.  I kind of wonder why didn't Lucy call home and tell her aunt that she was being stalked at the beginning of the book.  If that's what happened, she won't even end up receiving those horrible 'gift' from Katherine and would have lived a normal life.  I really pity Lucy though for trying to warn people to be careful when she received visions about a person's death.  Those people like Wanda never listened to her and thought she was crazy.  She was then murdered and Lucy was being questioned by the police as if she was one of the suspects.  I love this book and extremely recommend this book to you, as you should have known how I read it from day till night to finish it.  Though the words in this book is kind of huge and I thought that it was a children book at first, it still suits me a lot for its mysterious, attractive plot.  I am now totally longing to finish the second book.
