The truth is he feels nothing at all with the los since he's been MIA most of his life. Nothing should really change now, except he worries about money. His mother doesn't really have a stable job that can support both of them, so he thinks that his father must still handle the money issue. So what happens now that his father is dead? I do think this had some thrilling and creepy moments and that was fun. The reality of the situation was especially chilling in that human evil is always disturbing to me.

UNICORNE reveal something extraordinary. They say that they can provide Michael with information of what happened to his father who had disappeared three years ago, and of course they want something from him in return. The book A Dark Inheritnce by Chris D Lacy starts off with the main character Michel Malone going to school. For him it is just a normal day but he doesn't know that when he gets stopped at the bridge that everything will change. While driving to school he gets stopped at the bridge. The reason is because a dog is on it about to jump. With Michels Unknown powers he saves the dog. He soon figures out that the dog be longs to a classmate of his. Little does he known that she died in a car accident. What will happen next.

Michael Malone is just trying to get to school when he encounters a dog in distress. Little does he realize that meeting will change his life. In more ways than one. Michael possesses a power that can alter reality itself, a power that has come to the attention of secret groups like UNICORNE. He might delve deeper into the mystery of his father's disappearance, but first, he has to figure out what's up with that dog . . . The characters are interesting and three-dimensional; from Michael and his sister to Freya, Chantelle and the mysterious Mr Klimt, each has bags of personality. This makes the characters more relatable and also shifts the focus from being too action-focused. Instead, the book strikes a fine balance between action and emotion. Michael Malone is going to school just like any other day except his mom is driving an alternate route to escape a flooded street so he and his sister, Josie won't be late for school. However they are stopped in traffic when Michael knows that a dog is going to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff. Knowing this he runs out of the car and teleports to the top of the cliff where the dog is. He saves the dog but at first doesn't understand or know how he got to the top of the cliff. This is not a normal day anymore. He gets the headline and his photo in the newspaper. His classmates tease him about it. He meets a mysterious man, Mr. Amadeus Klimt and his assistant Chantelle. Mr. Klimt tells him about the secret organization called Unicorne (the e stands for events). Michael finds out that his father was part of this organization and decides he wants in and will be a member. He asks Mr. Klimt if he knows anything about his father's disappearance, Mr. Klimt tells him he will let him know after his first assignment. Mr. Klimt agrees telling Michael that due to his ability, he may join even though he will be their youngest agent. With a cliffhanger in that you know this is only the. Michael has several close calls to being murdered and ends up in a private clinic where he discovers he has been tattooed. His father went to New Mexico for his work and disappeared. He was never found yet Michael believes his dad is still alive. Through working for Unicorne, his first assignment is to solve the mystery of the suicidal dog. It is a mystery that involves a classmate, Freya and a dead girl named Rafferty. Michael must learn to how to use his new "ability" to hopefully find out about his father's disappearance. Les personnages sont assez attachants mais manquent de profondeur. Le personnage principal est très bien développé mais j’aurais aimé en savoir plus sur les autres personnages. Felix Ashe is sure of only one thing. In thirty days, on his eighteenth birthday, he will die. He might be the only one convinced of this, but the gruesome deaths of his three brothers before him seem to point to only one thing: a curse, one doomed to stop anyone inheriting his family's incredible fortune.

Further info

I’ve tried very much to avoid spoilers and there’s lots more I’d like to say about this book but I can’t without revealing information that you may enjoy discovering for yourself. I did like the gradual unveiling throughout the novel as the characters delve deeper into the mystery behind the curse. The novel moves at pace and our characters learn more continuously. I truly enjoyed this book. The descriptions in this book are evocative: "Her confusion filled the living room like invisible dark energy". This novel is complex but easy to follow due to the author's writing. Included in the story, are paranormal events (besides Michael's abilities), a ghost, mystery, family issues, teen issues and alternative realities. I enjoyed the story.

Then everything changes when he received a letter delivering the news of the unexpected death of his father. Who are the main characters? The principal character is Michael. He lives at home with his mum, Darcy, and his younger sister, Josie. Michael is recruited into UNICORNE by the smooth-talking Amadeus Klimt, who claims to have information about Michael’s father.
