The Lost Signal by J.S. Fernandez Morales
3.0
Received a copy from BookSirens - thanks!
The premise was interesting and some of the characters were pretty fun to read (Bill was my favourite), but the story felt glacial until the last 30%, where things finally picked up.
I was glad I stuck with it though! Ending was worth the slog.
Fiona not being able to face Ralph seemed a bit out of character for her, but at the same time, it is a highly charged emotional situation, so I guess I don't blame her for it. Just feels a bit cowardly considering all the shit she's been through. Though I gotta say, I did rapidly think less of Ralph after each scene he was in. He doesn't really deserve Fiona's loyalty.
I did think, however, when they talked about the almost kiss was hilarious and I'm so glad Fiona realised she wasn't in love with him in that way.

I was trying to work out how Fiona's story came into play with the Okinawa Six's story and as soon as Annabelle was shot, I knew she was Fiona. It was a nice reveal on how she came to be and how the Okinawa Six shotputted into Fiona's time.Fiona not being able to face Ralph seemed a bit out of character for her, but at the same time, it is a highly charged emotional situation, so I guess I don't blame her for it.
