By Kelly Bridgewater
Zoe Johnson spent
most of her life living in the shadows, never drawing attention to herself,
never investing in people or places. But when a wide-eyed, bedraggled teenager
with no memory walks into the diner where Zoe works, everything changes. Now,
against her better judgment, Zoe, who has been trying to outrun her own painful
memories of the past, finds herself attempting to help a girl who doesn't seem
to have any past at all. The girl knows only one thing: she must reach a woman
in Corpus Christi, Texas, hundreds of miles away, before the government agents
who are searching for her catch up to them.
Award-winning author Rachelle Dekker throws you into the
middle of the action and keeps the pressure on in this page-turning story that,
asks Are we who the world says we are--or can we change our story and be
something more?

My Thoughts:
Nine by Rachelle Dekker start with a promise, and I watched as the characters raced for their lives, but then about 50% into the book, I had a hard time staying focused. The characters were doing things all science like that didn't capture my attention. I didn't understand why in the beginning of the novel a hero character appeared to be on the bad side, then he flips and helps out the heroine. I was a little confused as to where his loyalty actually lied. As for the plot, it was a little odd and hard to follow. I don't think I would continue to read any other books like this one. I wasn't really found of this story. It started like a thriller, then it turned into a science fiction fantasy that lost my attention. Overall, Nine by Rachelle Dekker didn't thrill me. I had a hard time staying focused. But I imagined fans of science fiction authors like Kathy Tyers might totally disagree with me and love this novel. This is my humble opinion.
I received a complimentary copy of Nine by Rachelle Dekker from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
Purchase Nine
