From the Author

In the Unseen, Ravyn and Kyle have a story to tell. And I hope readers will listen to these characters speak. A story seemingly simple on the outside has many layers to discover and emotions to share...

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Only The Beginning!, July 31, 2005

This review is from: The Unseen (Manipulated Evil) (Paperback)

T.C. takes you into a new dimension with this book. Kyle D'Arcy starts out with a fairly normal life and ends up in a whole new world. The twist and turns in this book will keep you reading for hours. A wonderful weaving of action and adventure with a splash of romance. The only "bad" thing is once you read this first book in the Manipulated Evil Series, you won't stop until you have read them all!

5.0 out of 5 stars This story held me captive, April 5, 2005

By 

Nina M. Osier (Randolph, ME USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Unseen (Manipulated Evil) (Paperback)

Thriller? Speculative fiction? Romance? Science fantasy? Once again T.C. McMullen's work blurs the genre boundaries, and once again she's kept me reading until I finished the book. From the wonderfully creepy prologue to the cliffhanger ending (this is Book One in a trilogy), this story held me captive.

College student Kyle D'Arcy knows nothing of his true heritage. He believes he's the son of the couple who reared him. Bored, goal-less, and more spoiled by his easy life than he realizes, Kyle finds himself as baffled as both his mother and the police are when his father's murder calls him home. Who would want to kill Carter D'Arcy? What's in the envelope the geneticist left hidden in his home office, with Kyle's name shakily printed on it? And who is the striking young woman in a photograph that shares space with Kyle's likeness, when investigators go through the older D'Arcy's wallet?

Her name is Ravyn. Unlike Kyle, she knows all about her heritage - and his, too. She's as hard as he is soft, a trained and seasoned soldier (and leader) in a war for which Carter D'Arcy failed to prepare Kyle. A war that pulls the young man in nevertheless, forcing him to either rise to its demands or die. A war on which the fates of at least two worlds hang, although the people of Earth know nothing about it. Yet.

What is the true nature of evil? How can it come not from ill intent, but from good people who do wrong believing that "this one time, the end justifies the means"? As I read THE UNSEEN, I asked myself those timeless questions. Sometimes I shivered in sympathy with the characters, and sometimes I wanted to reach through the pages and shake them. I couldn't wait to read Book Two!
