BOOK REVIEW- Never Miss by Melissa Koslin

   

Description

Former CIA sniper Kadance Tolle possesses a special set of skills and a rare pedigree. She comes from a family of assassins, and by saving Lyndon Vaile's life she risks being found by them. Despite the danger, Kadance feels compelled to help Lyndon discover who is after him--and his research that seems to prove that the Ebola virus was manmade and is about to be weaponized.

With shadowy figures pursuing them and a Mastermind watching their every move, Kadance and Lyndon must scramble to stop an impending bioattack at the State of the Union address. But their warnings fall on deaf ears, and it becomes increasingly clear that there's no one they can trust--except perhaps each other.

Strap in for a breakneck story that will have you up all night, hurtling toward the last page as the clock ticks and time runs out. AMAZON LINK

 I enjoyed this story and I think the main reason was because of the unusual and ultra interesting main characters.  And that includes Kadance's Maine Coon cat she named Mac.  Mac was a good addition and sure did add a lot.  Speaking of characters, lets get to the human ones.  Lyndon ...wow he was a genius , in several different ways making him an unusual one at that.  Now emotions was kind of outside his wheelhouse and Kadance later pointed out, he's a horrible liar.  That fact is something that she gets to really like about him, the fact that he couldn't lie.  She has had her fill of those (lies) in her life.   She was also someone who didn't do emotions really well either.  She's had to stuff a lot of feelings back to survive.  She'd also been so isolated that what normal people had experienced, she never had a chance to.  I found myself liking both of them as their lives/their pasts were slowly revealed. If you're looking for a hot and heavy story of romantic sex, this story doesn't have it.  What it does have is 2 people slowly coming to a measure of trust.  Then to a careful friendship of sorts.  And even a more cautious reaching towards love for them.  I found I enjoyed that.  Maybe because they both had gone through so much tragedy.

Mysteries, dangers, secrets, emotions,  lies, betrayals and plenty of action keeps this story moving.  I also enjoyed the gentle weaving of faith that appeared in the story a few times.   No hard push but it's there.

I liked how the story ended although I would have liked to see more closure with Kadance's family.  Hmm,  maybe it left the door open for another story?

 By the way, the beautiful cover for this eBook caused me to stop and take another look for the book information.
