If you enjoy science fiction, paranormal, a little romance with a dash of thrill, I highly recommend you grab a copy. I am SO excited to be sharing this book with you. In fact it might have been a better idea for the author to write this diary out as her novel.Happy Monday y’all! Today is my tour stop for Never Apart by Romily Bernard. I actually found these lines more compelling than the present story being told. The most redeeming part of this novel is that each chapter begins with a snippet from Tessa’s diary.

When Wick baits him by using Tessa’s Facebook page, he too readily shows his cards which I still don’t understand because it would make it a lot harder for him to get his hands on his next target. Through her diary we learn he is an abusive, power-hungry psychopath. Then there’s the mystery man in Tessa Waye’s life. Are there no adults around at all to stop this? She comes across as this opinionated, no-nonsense kind of girl, but then she shrinks into this withering daisy that let’s her peers walk all over her. I even had a few issues with Wick herself. In fact most of the adults are atrocious in one way or another. I found Wick’s foster mother, Bren, to be frighteningly robotic, a little too Stepford Wives-esque. Most of the novel’s characters are either too robotic or hardly flushed out. There are really no surprises when the mystery is finally unraveled and the entire sequence plays out like a urban legend. In fact the two most significant twists are from the very beginning too obvious, making the rest of the novel rather dull.

We stand in the dark, and we watch him smile.”įind Me‘s biggest problem is it’s predictability. I know he can’t…I pull her closer and closer until I feel our bones meet through skin. “She makes some impossibly small whimper…and I’m afraid he’ll hear it. Now Wick must find out who Tessa was involved with before Lily becomes his next victim. It soon becomes clear that Tessa was running away from an abusive relationship and her antagonist’s next victim is Wick’s little sister Lily. The diary belongs to Tessa Waye, Wick’s former best friend, who just committed suicide. Then Wick finds a diary on her doorstep with the words “Find Me” written inside. But no matter how perfect life with this new foster family seems, Wick cannot forget her past and the shadow of her father that follows her everywhere.

Now they’ve landed in the lap of the pristine couple, Bren and Todd. Wick Tate and her sister, Lily, are foster kids who’ve been floating through the system ever since their mom committed suicide and their dad has been on the run from the cops.
