Book Review - Erin Orred

Have you ever woken up in a hospital bed not remembering the past six months of your life? The only thing you’re sure of is your name. That is exactly what happen to Shauna, in Kiss, a fantastic fiction novel by Ted Dekker and Erin Healy. Shauna is clueless about everything, especially a mysterious man, who goes by the name Wayne Spade, who says that he is her boyfriend, and he takes her all over the place trying to “help” her remember the past six months.

Attempting to regain her memory, she must stay at her dreaded father’s house. Her father is running to be in the U.S. Senate, and he cares only about his campaign, and her brother, whom she is to blame for his brain damage, since someone said he was in the car when she hit something and her car went spinning. Everyone one blames her for the tragic car accident, especially her evil stepmother, but really? She knows that she is a cautious driver and would never do anything to hurt her dear brother, Rudy. At least her faithful and trusting uncle believes her, and is on her side to help settle the disputes between the broken family.

She continues to heal, but her memory still does not show her any of the past six months. She and Wayne become closer, and she still does not remember him at all. She discovers though, that she can probe into others’ minds, and steal memories from them, so chunks of their lives will be missing. She now realizes that this can help her find out about the past six months, and uses this to figure out what caused the accident, and the events leading up to it. She now knows that someone is out there and wants something from her, or for her to be killed, and she learns that the people that claim to be her “friends” cannot actually be trusted at all.

She keeps on revealing more secrets and finds out that finding out more is putting her and her family in more danger. She is playing a risky game of cat and mouse and needs to find all the pieces of the puzzle before it is too late and her family gets destroyed.

I thought that this was a very good book with an interesting and high intensity story line. The authors were very good at describing the setting and the plot was interesting. They used impressive wording that made you feel like you were there. The only thing that made it slight boring was how how the beginning was very confusing. Once I read deeper into the book, it made a lot more sense and I was so intrigued I could hardly put it down. The ending was very sweet and it had a great twist. It is a fantastic book that I am almost sure everyone would love reading.
