Current Impressions Never Forgotten Kelly Risser Books

(RabidReads.com) Almost a year ago I read and reviewed the first in this series titled, Never Forgotten. I really liked it and looked forward to reading the sequel. Didn’t think about it again, but happened upon the sequel recently, and snapped it up.Third and last book is already published as well, for those of you that don’t like waiting for sequels.

Meara has moved from Nova Scotia to her father’s home in Scotland. Home is a huge fortress on a island that has been spelled so human’s can’t see or find it. Meara’s father and his clan are, of course, not human. They are Selkies, commonly known as shape shifter seals. This world is all new to Meara as she was raised as a human, and is just now learning about her family and heritage. Meara’s boyfriend Evan, is also in Scotland, as he joined a research summer internship program so he could be near her. Back for this story as well, is Kieran, the beautiful Californian Selkie that tried to cause problems with Meara’s relationship with Evan in the first book. Now we find out that he will be the leader of his clan someday, he is looking for a strong mate-and he is looking right at Meara. Meara is the daughter of the Scottish clan leader, David, so she is strong with an incredible array of magical powers-think Bewitched, without the nose twitching.

The story is told from both Meara and Evan’s point of view. In the beginning, I found Meara’s story much more compelling, but as the story progressed, Evan’s story became almost as interesting. I also began to care more about Kieran’s part of the story, even though I really didn’t like him in the first book. David, Meara’s father, doesn’t have as big a role this time around and actually stays gone a lot. And that’s because war seems to be imminent. Selkie guards are being killed, both in Scotland and at other clan’s homes. Problem? They aren’t sure which of their many undersea enemies are at fault.

I enjoyed the the author’s world building and there is actually a lot of it to enjoy. All the enemies and their descriptions, all of the different Selkie powers(although only the strong manifest them) and lots of other little but intricately woven facets and customs of Selkie life make for a fascinating world.

Now, I know that the first book was supposed to be young adult, and it really started out that way. However, by the end, due to Evan’s and Meara’s physical relationship, although not explicit, I thought it should be for older young adults-probably 16 plus. This book definitely is for older teens to adult readers as well.

Biggest problems I had with the book? The dreaded cliffhanger. And this one was so abrupt that I was shocked. Not a fan. Then there is the pesky problem of a love triangle. Not always a fan, but I also know they are a staple of most young adult books. Having said all that though, I do plan on reading the last book, Always Remembered, because I am invested enough to want to see where the story is going. For the most part, I did enjoy the read, and I am glad I continued with the series.

FYI As of this writing, the first book, Never Forgotten is free on Amazon and Nook.

Current Impressions Never Forgotten Kelly Risser Books Reviews

I read very many free books, and I almost never purchase subsequent books even if I really enjoy the free one. So, my paying $5 for this book represents a pretty big investment for me, and reflects how much I enjoyed the first book in the series. I am very far from YA.

I really like the main character Meara and her family and friends. I can engage in the struggles and changes that happen to her, the boyfriend, the setting. I found it really interesting to experience what Meara did in learning what it's like to be a selkie, such as heightened senses. I guess because I really liked some aspects of these books, I find some flaws more glaring. For some reason I'm prompted to write a review although I rarely do this.

This book seems much shorter than the first. It is actually shorter but also it seemed to go by faster. I think this is because there is less happening. In the first book there are significant life events taking place, lots of detail and development of several interesting characters. I always enjoy a book that makes me interested in several of the characters at once. However, in this book there is not much interesting happening. Lots of "training," which isn't explained a great deal, and quite a bit of blinking from one place to another.

I am also disappointed in the revelation about the boyfriend Evan, because I feel like it detracts from the selkie story, seems unlikely, sort of trying too hard.

Most of all there is nothing resolved by the end of this book. All story lines are left wide open. I realize there is going to be a third book, but I did expect a nice resolution of sorts on the second. It would have made me feel better about spending $5. The first book suggested further story, and indeed I actually bought the second book, but the first had a much more satisfying ending.

I would read the third book. I would suggest the author make in reasonably long enough and provide resolution on not only the Kieran and Evan end, but also regarding Meara's childhood friend and Evan's sister and family.
