Never Miss by Melissa KoslinMy rating: 💛💛
This cover drew me and I'm always excited to discover new authors, especially in my favourite genre: Christian suspense/thriller. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to the expectations. The summary of the book gave the impression of a thrilling/suspenseful ride, but it was okay.
The majority of the story played off through dialogue between the two main characters and I don't think this style of writing is for me. Though some was interesting, I did find myself bored a time or two. The plot of the mastermind was interesting and to find out who was behind it, had me finishing this story.
A major other problem for me, and I'm never one to complain about scenes with attraction, is the two detailed scene between the two when Lyndon explained his attraction to Kadance. Less detail would still give the message across and not have left this reader uncomfortable.
Also, at one point I had the thought if this book was for the secular market. And the small part where God was discussed was too light with no decent follow up.
There was also discussions of child abuse to groom as an assassin.
There is a lot of 4 and 5 stars for this book, and I think if you like a book more focused on characters and working through their problems, but as a Christian suspense, this was too light for me.
Will I read another book by this author? Yes, since this was her first novel and she does show potential as a writer.

About the book:
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.
