Cahills vs. Vespers Book One - The Medusa Plot


What the blurb says:

KIDNAPPED!

Thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, thought they belonged to the world's most powerful family. They thought the hunt for 39 Clues leading to the source of that power was over. They even thought they'd won. But Amy and Dan were wrong.

One by one, distress calls start coming in from around the globe. Cahills are being kidnapped by a shadowy group known only as the Vespers. Now Amy and Dan have just days to fulfill a bizarre ransom request of their captured friends will start dying. Amy and Dan don't know what the Vespers want or how to stop them. Only one thing is clear. The Vespers are playing to win, and if they get their hands on the Clues . . . the world will be their hostage.

What I think about the book:

This book brings back the adventure of Amy and Dan, only now, it's more dangerous because an unknown enemy is calling all the shots. In this book, Amy and Dan have grown up and they have learned a lot of fighting skills which makes the book more interesting to read. The addition of new characters makes reading more exciting than reading the first ten books of the series.

Characters like Atticus Rosenbloom and his brother Jake Rosenbloom makes you want to get the next book. Who are the Rosenblooms? And more importantly, who are the Vespers? Who is Vesper One? These questions will plague your mind while you anticipate the next book. Truly, this is one exciting read.

Favorite excerpt:

If enough bad stuff happens, the bad becomes normal. Risks aren't risks when the consequences are no worse than your regular life. --- Dan Cahill
