A review by rennegade
The Never List by Koethi Zan
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up. I had to think about this one a bit after I finished. It was definitely an engrossing book - I found myself unable or unwilling to put it down for the most part. I read it very quickly and was never disinterested in what was going on.
That said, I feel like it started better than it ended. I know that these types of stories are slowly becoming a dime a dozen, but I admit that I am one of those people who spends far too much time watching Investigation Discovery and is therefore always interested in them.
My main quibble is that it got to the point that there was just too much going on. I was very fascinated by the idea that this woman was trying to look into things to find some closure for herself after such a traumatic event, but when I began to feel like the author was just throwing loads of stuff at the wall to see what stuck. I was also fairly unimpressed with the major reveal at the end.
Either way, it was a fast and mostly interesting read. I would probably read something else by this author.
Note: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher to read and review.
