Kiss




By: Ted Dekker and Erin Healy
Another great book by Ted Dekker. He collaborated on this book with E. Healy who is an award winning editor and has helped out on a number of Dekker stories. The main character in this book, Shauna, is a young woman who has a complicated relationship with her father (who, incidentally, is running for the presidency . . .). Shauna wakes up one day after being in a coma and finds out that she is missing the last 6 months of her life. The story has many twists and turns and is a suspenseful tale that I thoroughly enjoyed! Shauna works hard at discovering what happened before, during and after her accident as well as figuring out who she can trust and who is out to keep her memories from returning. She also discovers that she has a special "gift" - an outcome from her so-called accident. How Shauna uses this gift is also a question she must confront. The story kept me coming back for more. There are many subplots in this story and minor characters which added interest. Review by Bonnie. (Fiction) 07/30/09
