Never Lost #1
Never lost
The first in a five-book series, “Never Lost” opens just as sixteen-year-old Harper Johnston is trying to adjust to moving from the suburbs of Chicago to the remote Wisconsin farm town where her mother grew up. Harper is convinced that there is nothing for her in this town, which she sarcastically dubs “Hick Town USA.” All she wants is to go back home to her old house and her old school and her old friends. Then Harper meets Danny, who is unlike any other boy she’s ever met before. There is something different—maybe even
magical—about him that Harper can’t quite put her finger on. Then Harper earns Danny’s secret…and decides that moving to Oak Leaf was maybe not such a bad idea, after all….

Romance and Paranormal are popular genre's today, and add in a young adult main character and you have most of the recent top sellers. Given that information, Never Lost is something of its own completely.
The main character is Harper who at 16 is forced to move from Chicago to a tiny farm village in Wisconsin where her mother grew up. Life is changed in an instant, and not to the better as far a Harper can tell. The first person she meets in this new town is Danny Benson, the problem, Danny is a 17 year old ghost who has been wandering the woods for the last 39 years!
The interactions and relationship that develops between Harper and Danny is unlike any ghost-human relationship you have ever read about, in fact Danny appears more human than ghost. It is an intense relationship and it helps Harper to adjust to the move, but it won't last for long.
Although this is a short book, it was originally written in five small installments, but I read them all together at once. This book packs a powerful story and kept me wanting more till the end, in fact I still want more of the story.
This is a great young adult or teen story, the trials of moving to a new town, all fit with life and make this story so easy to relate to in many ways.

Sixteen year old Harper feels her world has crashed when her mother uproots her from her familiar home and friends in Chicago and moves her to a small town in Wisconsin to live with her Uncle. Life is going to be nothing like it was in Chicago, even the house is small town, its an old farm house and there is draft coming from her bedroom window. Harper is not happy.
Then her Uncle suggests she and her brother head into town to a local fair that day, well it can't hurt Harper thinks. Of course it is nothing like Chicago and Harper is none too impressed as she wanders into the nearby woods to look at the beauty of the nature setting. There she is surprised by a boy, about her age, but he is giving her vague answers and then he is gone. Maybe it won't be so bad living in Wisconsin.

I enjoyed this short book. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I decided to read Never Lost.
Riley Moreno has a way of making a ghost magical and interesting. I loved Danny and Harper. They were so cute when the first met. I kept trying to guess what it was about Danny that made him not normal.
When I did learn that he was a ghost I was pleasantly surprised. The romance that grows between Harper and Danny is nice and weird at the same time. I will be looking forward to reading the next book.
