bookshelf_bandito 's review for:
Everything We Never Knew
by Ellen Goodlett, Julianne Hough
I liked the concept, I just think this wasn't the best way to showcase it.
The Plot:
This novel starts at an awards banquet with Lexi accepting...well...an award. While trying to give her speech, she sees a man at the back of the room and hears voices screaming for help. It isn't until after the banquet that she realizes all the things she witnessed actually happened in a different location.
After meeting a local healer, Lexi realizes she can see other people's auras and even heal their energy fields.
My Thoughts:
The banquet scene and the rest of this book seem like two different stories. I don't think that vision/drowning arc was even needed and it threw me off for a few chapters trying to figure out how that tied into spiritual healing. I also feel that Lexi was advancing in her training too fast to make it work for the plot. In the world that Hough and Goodlett created, Lexi was taking on some really difficult healings with barely any repercussion.
I did like the spiritual aspect of the book. I don't know much about it, but it was interesting to read about although that'd be a very intrusive skill. Very dangerous in the wrong hands.
Overall, I liked the 2nd half of the book and I do appreciate that the ghostwriter got their name on the cover.
