As part of my latest reading binge, I stumbled upon a real gem, Variant Lost by Kaydence Snow. Kudos to whoever does her targeted advertising on Facebook because honestly, that’s where I saw it. It’s a mix of something I haven't read much of lately: romance, suspense, and action and I have to admit I’m impressed.
The Good
The storyline is really good, admittedly it doesn’t initially seem like it’s the most original plot. The book opens with a 17-year old girl fighting with her mother about moving which is something that apparently happens a lot and leaving behind a boyfriend. In the first few pages, it feels just like another angsty YA book until you keep reading and she suffers a sudden and painful tragedy. This change turns the book into a mystery/suspense thriller where the reader is trying to figure out how everything is connected. It introduces Variants, humans with supernatural power and Vitals, essentially human batteries that variants can tap into to use their powers for longer times and with more power. When you add in the scrumptious male leads the wicked Alec, sweet Josh, charismatic Tyler and funloving Ethan its a recipe for magic. I was utterly amazed by the action portion of the story with some of the guys picking up guns to protect their girl. I read this book very quickly even forgoing my Netflix shows to finish it.
The Bad
I’m left with so many questions which isn’t a bad thing unless we don’t have a release date for the next book. And since we don’t, I’m just stuck with all of them. I mean what is up with Alec? That question will probably keep me up longer than I want to admit.
The Verdict:
Wow! This was fantastic! It was the perfect way to start 2019 and I loved Kaydence’s writing style. I’m ready for the next one… so bring it on!
