Life has never been easy for Jace, but things have quickly become more complicated.

With a new family and new name, he is returning to the home he had when he was three years old. After learning he is being hunted, he knows his survival requires him to learn to control his newfound powers at an accelerated rate. Feeling like an outsider in what he hoped would be his forever home, Jace finds himself desperately trying to figure out where he truly belongs.

Jace quickly learns that his impossible witch-werewolf hybrid presence has awoken the curiosity of many supernaturals. After a series of attacks, he realizes the stakes are even higher. Jace must discern who is friend and who is foe.

Failure could mean death for him, his family, and his friends.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Annie O'Connell is a busy mom of four boys, a Family Physician in New York City, and now the author of The Codex Chronicles series.

Wanting to take a break from the real world, she would immerse herself in fantasy genre audiobooks while on long road trips with her 17-year-old son. Ultimately, this passion would lead to creating her lead character, Jace Northall, and his journey to discover who he truly is.

When she is not saving lives or creating drama for poor Jace, she enjoys traveling with her family, listening to audiobooks, watching cheesy Rom-Coms, and crocheting lopsided blankets.

Wow, was this an exciting book! If you love fast-paced adventures in the paranormal fantasy genre then this would be a great choice. There’s not many breaks in the action, and the author does a fantastic job laying out the settings with detailed descriptions that make you feel like you’re there in the room with the characters. I didn’t read the first book of the series, but I didn’t have trouble filling in the blanks from the previous novel. There was a decent amount of time spent going over the events of book one and how everyone had reacted/survived, which made it easy to follow along and catch up with current events. Still, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order to have all the information you need to fully appreciate the story.

I was a little confused about a few things going on in the ending, but the final events got me hooked for the next book in the series. I look forward to finding out how Jace and his friends are going to solve the problem presented. The only thing that truly bothered me about the book was the author’s overuse of the verb “shift” when the characters were not transforming from human to beast. Especially in the battle scenes, it was confusing when Jace would “shift” direction or “shift” trajectories. I had to keep reminding myself that Jace and the other wolf shifters were not transforming while running or fighting; they were changing direction or altering their courses.

This young adult read has no swearing or erotic content, so it may be a good fit if you like clean stories with a mix of shifters, witches, and other fae creatures. The fighting scenes were pretty cool with minimal gore, but lots of action.

I have never been a big fan of witches , werewolves and such, but this was fascinating reading. I was definitely drawn into Races world and how he handled all that came his way. Hoping there will be a follow up to see where this goes.

This Book continues the story of Jace and his Friends. After everything they went through in the first book it seems things are just getting started. I loved seeing Jace further develop and learn more about himself. Book ended on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This sophomore novel from Dr. O'Connell is a true triumph, even better than her first novel in the series, The Lunar Codex. It's a true page-turner, easy to leap into and difficult to put down. I have enjoyed reading it and am looking forward to her third book in this series whenever it is published!

Book review :
The legend of a lost child is the second book in the series. As left up with so many questions unanswered in the first book , I was curious to read the second book soon.

Jace starts living with his parents whom he thought to be dead. He bitterly misses his friends. His new life is full of twists and turns which he has to assemble very carefully. The enigma surrounding the town of Emerald Creek and Gravity of the power possessed by Jace was marvellous.

Jace is unaware of the potential power within himself that attracted many other powers. He is yet to learn how to use his power and tactics against the evil and emerge as victorious.

It was quite fascinating to read more and more about Jace and how he tries to understand about himself and then to rise as a winner. His journey of exploring new facts and the conflicts ongoing both inner and outer was keeping the hook tight.

The author has weaved all the characters in an adroit manner. The storyline is quite intriguing and captivating with lots of unpredicted twists and turns. The perspicuous writing is adorable.

I liked reading this book a lot and would recommend this sequel to all.
Happy Reading!

Jace has finally found his family and is returning to where it all started. He's got family, lots of friends and a pack to surround him.
As his new powers begin to emerge, can he live up to the legend he has become. Many types of paranormals live in Emerald Creek but why does he feel like the strange one. People are struggling to trust him when bad things follow. Who can he trust?
He's got to face the truth. Someone or something is out to get him. Again.

The second book in the series, "Legend of the Lost Child," continues the story from the first. Jace is currently attempting to get used to his new life and friends as the stakes are once more extremely high. The story takes many turns as a result of his curiosity to learn more about his destiny and his attempt to understand his new identity and ideals. Legend of the Lost Child was a treat to read because it involved serious stakes, tough choices, and priceless items in jeopardy.

The second book started off feeling a little slow as Jace was finally settling in and grasping everything, but as the novel went on, the storyline quickened and I became more fascinated.

Amazing dialogue, incredible storytelling, and compelling characters were all combined in each chapter. The world was changing and presenting a challenge to Jace as he was discovering his abilities and his true potential, but he and his companions were more than prepared to meet it.

As predicted , the book also does end on a cliffhanger with some important decisions on the line and promises of justice .

I liked the first part of the book so much and then I got to read the 2nd part even more interesting and full of suspense, filled with supernatural elements. 

In this part, Jace finds his parents alive, which made me happy and curious about the story. He started living a new life, another journey with twists and turns. 

Jace got some powers but he doesn't know how to use his power and tactics against evil and emerge victorious. 

What will be the story?? Will it be a happy ending? What's the connection with supernatural elements? 

The author wrote an amazing tale of supernatural elements, witch-werewolf hybrids, and an imminent danger that threatens Jace's life, his family, and his friends.

How will Jace use his powers??? 

Who are his true friends and who are his enemies?

Isn't it interesting to know?? 

It felt like watching a 3D movie. 

Recommended to those who like these types of stories and like the elements of the supernatural.

Review:

This is the second book of the Codex Chronicles and the book starts right after where the first book ends.

And we see Jace with his new life, struggling with his new identity being part witch and part werewolf. Trying to adjust with his new family and friends. But also this doesn't end his trouble, he finds himself again find himself being haunted while keeping up with his new family. He now needs to control his new power to get out of this obstacles, for his own survival as well as his family.

Just like the first book, this book also starts with slow pace, but pick up later on, when the book becomes more interesting and intriguing. All the questions that are not answered before, are answer here. And also with this reveals more secrets.

While in the first book Jace character seems a little immature at times, here we see great character development in his character. And the new characters we met are also keep the story intriguing not to mention the plot twist too.

Just like thr first book we also see here friendships, love, emotional turmoils, dramas, twists and turns etc. So far this series going on quite strong and I'm also looking forward to the next installment. And for the second book, I think I like this book more than the first book, slightly more.

So a book, a series I would definitely recommend if you're a lover of werewolves, witches, supernatural powers in your book.
