(...but... it's a Saving Rain Spin-Off!) ★★★★★
4.5 Stars
From the bestselling author of Saving Rain
comes a story full of anguish, trauma, salvation, and, most of all, love as one
man sets out to accomplish one thing - find himself.
Are you ready
for salvation?
I was born in rain.
I was raised in thunder.
I chased the lightning through tumultuous uncertainty, never
knowing when the bogeyman—my father—would come to hurt my mother and me again.
For years, we lived in fear of his unpredictable wrath, until
I found a hero to save us, ensuring we never had to worry about that bogeyman
coming back again.
Except he was never really gone.
He still lived within me, hidden in the shadows of my mind.
Lurking, waiting to strike when I least expected …
And now, in an adulthood full of happiness and love, years
after he was removed from my life, I’m left to wonder …
Will I ever be free from the darkness he cast over my life?
Or will I remain trapped in the prison he created for me …
forever?
We start the book the day Noah was born. And then we see him growing into a happy boy with his mom and grandparents. If only his horrible dad wouldn't come home every once in a while.
But then when Noah's twelve he finally meets Soldier. The man who would become his real dad.
And life could be amazing after that. And it is... but he's still his birth father's son and he still lived through those things with his dad and one day all that might be too much to carry.
Meg.
She's the daughter of an old Kelsey Kingsley hero. She's five years older than Noah. When she first meets him as a 911 operator Noah was only 13 years old.
Now might finally be the time that he's ready to live a happy life with his dream woman... but his past won't let him go. He has to go and find out things...
Kelsey with her crying books! Ugh!
We already know much of what happened in the first part of the book from Soldier's POV in Saving Rain. But now we're with Noah. That poor boy. But then after all the bad stuff he could finally be happy, but things are complicated. Mainly in his head and in his nightmares, but he still has to go and do something about it. Which might turn into a really dangerous trip.
It was a tiny bit too much for me. I loved reading this. We cry a lot. But the dangerous part toward the end... it was a bit much and tiny bit ridiculous too.
Also a bit much was Noah's constant use of OH MY GOD. I hated that. It sounds so weird. No kid would say that. No teenager. I wanted to hear some F-words or just other phrases. But not always the god stuff.
But still. I loved the story. I loved that we were back in River Canyon. Back with the Kinney clan.
I've read all of Kelsey's books so far and I will keep on reading them.
Can't wait to see what's next. We'll get some hints in here!
Please read the trigger warnings if you're sensitive to such things...
FINDING NOAH was a great Saving Rain spin-off. I loved seeing everyone again. Noah's story was so sad + sweet + heartbreaking + dangerous + horrible... and all the things!
READ IT!
