Never Miss, by Melissa Koslin | Book Review
REVIEW: A debut novel from a new Revell author, I’m always curious to read something from a new author from a favorite publisher. This is one of those novels that really isn’t quite what the synopsis makes it sound. The synopsis makes us believe the story will fight against a viral attack; of course, this does play into the plot, but it’s not as prominent as one might assume.
“But this? This overwhelmed her.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t really a book for me because of the following reasons. The story focuses mostly on the characters through conversation, which isn’t bad, but it lends itself to repeat information. While focusing on the characters, the interaction between Kadance and Lyndon also doesn’t thrill me. I like them, it’s just together, I don’t “feel” their connection. Lyndon is way to analytical, but since I listened to part of this as an audio book, and maybe it’s how the Lyndon’s part is read (too matter of fact?) that affects me. Finally, I also don’t care for the one “big” conversation regarding Christianity. How Lyndon sees God just isn’t admirable.
There’s an interesting twist halfway through and the book has some breath-catching moments to wrap up.
