Review: Never Miss by Melissa Koslin

 

About:

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.

My Thoughts:

So this was a fun and enjoyable romantic suspense. You have your snipers, bioterrorism, a bad guy who is completely whacko, and plenty of twists and turns to keep you turning the pages to find out how our hero and heroine are going to make it out. Alive.

However, my very favorite part of this whole drama rich story, is the characters. Two completely unique and out of the box characters who are thrown together because they need to survive but stay together because they want to. Both Kadance and Lyndon have pasts that are very shady and they each have unique skillsets.

Lyndon is smart. Super smart, like a walking computer. Not only that but he is also a fighter. He knows how to take care of himself. Kadance is from a family of assassins and her upbringing brings to mind the ancient people of Sparta. Kadance is no damsel in distress and she is not only smart as well, but she has some lethal skills. Lyndon and Kadance come together when just out of the blue, Kadance saves his life from a sniper. But who was the sniper really aiming for? Throw in Mac the cat who barks his meow's and you have a most interesting trio team. And the romance? Well that is very well done as Lyndon is the perfect gentleman and protector. They were right for each other from the beginning and it was fun to watch their relationship play out especially with their unique personalities. It was a bit swoony.

I look forward to more stories by this new to me author. This is my favorite suspense this year.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher through Interviews and Reviews. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
