Representaion Conducive To Books Never Knowing
At thirty-three Sara Gallagher is finally happy. Her antique furniture restoration business is taking off and she’s engaged to a wonderful man. But there’s one big question that still haunts her — who are her birth parents? Sara is finally ready to find out. Sara’s birth mother rejects her—again. Then she discovers her biological father is an infamous killer who’s been hunting women every summer for almost forty years. Sara tries to come to terms with her horrifying parentage — and her fears that she’s inherited more than his looks — with her therapist, Nadine, who we first met in "Still Missing." But soon Sara realizes the only thing worse than finding out your father is a killer is him finding out about you. Some questions are better left unanswered.List Epithetical Books Never Knowing

I think that Chevy Stevens knows how to write a good psychological thriller! I couldnt leave this book of my hands imagine being adopted, knowing it and at some time discovering that your biological father is a serial killer!! It is difficult to handle; I liked that Sarah, was describing the story as small talks to her therapist! The development of the characters, main and secondary, are well built. Do not expect to discover many actions scenes and detailed murder scenes; this book is mostlyThis was another excellent psychological thriller by CHEVY STEVENS that was extremely hard to put down and also grabbed my attention from the very first session (chapter). THE COVER didn't come into play on this one as this book was chosen to be read solely on who the author was although I do find the cover somewhat appealing. NEVER KNOWING is a fitting TITLE for this novel. Is it better to know or not to know the truth? NEVER KNOWING has us following along Sara Gallagher's search for her birth
The idea to this book is great; what a shame the writing couldn't live up to it. Adopted Sara is searching for her birth parents, but when she finds her mother, shes rejected in horror. Puzzled and hurt, Sara searches on and discovers the awful truth: her father is the Campside Killer, a man whod been raping and strangling girls every summer for 30 years, and Saras mother is the one that got away. Worse is to come when he contacts Sara, telling her that talking to her several times a day is the
Im between a 4 and 5 star rating, but Im going to go with 5 because I thought the idea behind the book was great! What if you were adopted and find out your dad was a rapist and a serial killer?!?! From there the surprises keep coming! Who exactly can Sara trust?
After a few incidents of the word "rape," I read ahead--and no. Just no....and after a three-day break from women-and-murder books, I'm ready to try again....and now I am two chapters in and I'm pretty sure the protagonist is the villain of the story. I mean, she's completely self-centered and emotionally manipulative--has more than a few megalomaniac tendencies--indulges in behavior that makes her a stalker and bully. Surely the reader isn't meant to sympathize with her??Also Stevens' writing
Chevy stevens is fast becoming one of my favourite authors in this genre she brings substance & a solid plot that gets you right into the book.All her life Sara Gallagher has wondered about her birth parents being an adopted child with two sisters Lauren & Melanie who were born naturally to her parents, Sara did not have a normal ideal home life.She has always wondered about her real mother now she is engaged to Evan & has a 6 year old daughter Ally she wants to find out who she
