A forbidden book. A dangerous secret. A life in the balance. In the wake of a bullet and a broken heart, Emelynn Taylor learns the true portent of a gift she can barely control. Her discovery of a forbidden book unlocks explosive secrets that connect her to a past she never imagined. Now someone is threatening to expose those secrets, and an unknown assailant is hunting her. With everyone hiding … an unknown assailant is hunting her. With everyone hiding something, whom can she trust? Emelynn is thrust into the eye of a storm as two powerful factions clash: one ancient, one evil. And both of them want a piece of her.
Knowing that not even her gift of flight will save her, Emelynn forms an uneasy partnership with a dangerous man she must learn to trust—and then she must risk her gift and her future to protect her friends’ lives.
The second book in The Gift Legacy series, Hidden Enemy is a thriller that skirts the edges of reality in a world within our own. Climb aboard and escape the ordinary: take flight with Emelynn Taylor.
(Hidden Enemy was previously published as The Gift: Revelation)
This book is intended for an adult audience.

This book was even better than the first one, something I didn’t think was possible. It began quietly enough and spent a quarter of the book with very little conflict. Instead, we read about Emelynn’s life, that’s the main character, and how she was adjusting to her new life skill, her friends, her fight back to fitness, and the beautiful place she lived. It didn’t matter that nothing happened. I glided through the pages as her life was descriptive and enjoyable.
Then, the ‘conflict kicked in. Emelynn returned home and found people in black had evaded her sanctuary. There is a violent confrontation, that not only leaves her reeling, it left me feeling that way too. From that point onwards, I could not stop reading or thinking about it.
This is a riveting read and I thoroughly recommend it.

This is a fast-paced book that has lots of twists and turns. The mystery, suspense and intrigue make this book very interesting and a joy to read. The characters are well rounded and relatable, non are perfect.

Emelynn is recovering from a bullet wound an a broken heart. She got both when trying to save Sandy who just happened to be the wife of her lover.. She is still trying to discover who she is and what all her gift entails. An old letter provides her with some insights but her peace is fleeting as someone seems to be after her and she has no one to really trust. Danger lurks around very corner.
This is the second book in the Gift Legacy series and is just as thrilling as the first one. The story takes place from where the first book left off. The characters are fantastic, full of life and personality that makes them pop off the page. I found the storyline interesting and filled with suspense, action, adventure, mystery and enough twist and turns to keep you interested until the final pages. The plot is thoughtfully layer out and addictive, you cannot help but keep turning the pages. I particularly enjoyed how Emelynn grows personally and physically as she tries to learn a whole new life. Sometimes second books are not as good as the first but the story and the writing seems to be getting better and better.

I started with the first book, Secret Sky: The Gift. So, so good. Now this book just kept pulling me into this world. An absolutely compelling read with awesome characters and the story is as wonderful and the first book.

Hidden Enemy #2 – I find this is a better book than the previous two I have read so far. This will be a hard review to write without turning it into a book report. This story picks up three months after Secret Sky ends. I like that there is so much going on with the old and new storylines. While there is a lot of intrigue, Emeline is evolving. She has growth and changes in her makeup making her a more developed person. There are some mysteries to add even more interest and intrigue to the good storylines, with a good blend of the old and present storylines. Although I keep a good reading pace with the first two books, I had a hard time putting the book down. Hopefully, the rest of the books will increase or keep pace with the continued growth in characters and storylines. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
Secret Sky #1 – This is my first read by this author and I like it. The story’s beginning was slow where the author tried to make a mystery of what happened to Emelynn. The story is interesting, but too wordy, needs editing. The storylines are good with good characters, several of which were likeable. The author does well with her descriptions, adding to the interest of the story. There is infrequent usage of vulgar language. Ms. McLean shows a complete disregard for the proper usage of God and expressions concerning God, which shows me an intolerance and prejudice against Christians. There are plenty of inoffensive expressions that will work in place of God. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 3.5*
Lover Betrayed (Companion Book or #1.5) – I recommend reading this book after Secret Sky since there are parts that explain some things that were not discussed in detail in SS. Of course, there will be redundancies, which I skipped. I found this book too wordy with a good viewpoint from him, but not really a need to read book. It is largely about him, his father and his brother. The event of her kidnapping is detailed. Again, the author shows her prejudice against Christians with her word choices. There is an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it. I found several books of this series in Booksprout. 4*
While fantasy isn’t my usual genre, I do enjoy these stories my JP McLean. There is just enough combination of mystery, paranormal, and a bit of romance. In this story, EmeLynn is fighting someone who wants to expose her and someone who wants to kill her. Not a good thing! How does she survive? That is for you to read the book to find out.
