Behind the Series
You've survived your Correction and signed up for a fun-filled afterlife as a sacrificial lamb for the greater good. You now belong to Clan Ankh, Clan Trinity or Clan Triad. Your brand of Tri-Clan prohibits you from passing through the Hall Of Souls when you die. Your Clan will train your partially mortal brain to reboot after death without shock and attach you to your Testing Group.
You will be sealed to your Clan on your eighteenth birthday. During this year, you will be taken to another world and dropped into an Immortal Testing full of your worst nightmares.
While dying thousands of times, you must comprehend the greater good and never leave a fallen behind to prove yourself capable of being immortal. Three Clans go in. Only two may leave. Could You Survive?
Her arms floated freely as an angel's wings, having been released from the mortal chains that bound her to this reality. She'd been set free. Her empty vessel floated down the liquid corridor. Even though her eyes remained open, they could no longer see. The strands of her golden hair danced through her liquid nightmare to an unheard song. She was gone...
With a breath and a gasp, Kayn awoke in the Testing, soaked to the bone in the same corridor, but it was void of the water she'd submitted to.

Review :
This masterpiece is the essence of action, adventure, suspense, power, romance, and raw emotion. Right from the first page, while providing background information on relatable characters and drawing the reader into a story that they will never want to end and will never, ever forget, Cormack slams the reader with a plethora of emotions. You will feel. You will hurt. Be prepared for it. I teared up quite a few times. At the same time, the story is amazing, and its pacing is perfect. While you may want to read the first book just to have read the series in order, I don't believe it's necessary. I myself was able to follow each part of the story easily. I won't give it all away, but I will say that Kim is a master of her craft. I stayed up late reading this one and could not put it down. Enlightenment was amazing!
Kim Cormack has done it again with this thrilling novel! I can honestly say, I loved this book more than the first one! Book 1 was so emotionally gripping. I almost bawled, but book 2 did not disappoint! Kayn is now eighteen and a member of Clan Ankh. But she struggles with her newly found duties. Along with that, she is mourning the loss of her love, Kevin, to clan Triad. She's in a constant battle with herself-should she let her best friend and love go or cling to his memory?
This book felt like a book on self-discovery. Her friendships grow in Ankh as she forges stronger bonds with each of the members. Let's talk about Frost! For one, I was absolutely thrilled to have seen more of him in this novel. I adore him so much! Kayn struggles with her feelings for him. Now that she's merged with her twin, it seems that her sister's emotions have become her own. But how does she differentiate her feelings from that of her sister? I don't know if Kayn is destined for love, but she sure as hell is destined to be an amazing character in all the series to come.
This book often left me gasping when the unexpected happened. It's that feeling you get when you read a book and you're reading through a tense moment. You flip the page faster and faster because the tension is so high and then you have to read it all again to make sure you read it right. I loved that last paragraph of the book! It felt so confident and affirming as Kayn finally finds out who she was meant to be. She's grown so much and I'm sure she has so much stuff left to learn.
This book has it all, nail-biting sensations, love, action, friendship, intrigue, heartbreak and even some funny moments. Kim Cormack keeps adding new unique characters to her books and they all form part of this giant family that you can't help but love and envy! One thing is for sure, Kim Cormack is one heck of an amazing emotional writer!
Kayn, Melody, and Zach are sent into the crypt to be enlightened, meaning find their gifts. The crypt is an ever-changing world of torture and death. The three along with members of the other clans must fight their way out. There are rules which they must learn to make it out and back to the real world. Throughout their experience death is relative and Cormack's imagination came up with many interesting ways to die. They hop from one nightmare to the next is a seemly never-ending nightmare.
Enlightenment is a fast-paced novel that had me cringing and nail-biting. The action is non-stop and the characters jumped off the pages and came to life. The story never halts or slows but plows onward at high-speed culminating in a heck of a climax and opening the door for the next book in the series.
For fantasy/ paranormal/action, this series is a must!
