The One You Left Behind
Neve Wells is a reclusive artist who has a fear of looking up at the sky, but after watching an episode involving her favorite UFO personality, she forces herself to confront vague memories lurking in the back of her mind. To clarify these shadows that she can’t quite grasp, she retrieves her mother’s journal, which reveals a hidden family her mother was an experiencer, caught between two sides where the mission is to protect this secret at all costs. Now both intrigued and terrified, Neve begins to question other people's involvement as well as her own past, which had been altered by one man. Now, he is drawn back into her life for reckoning, and what was once delayed must now be confronted, because she might want a say in this matter.

I really wanted to like this.
I’m not sure where to start with this one. It’s basically a monologue of the main character, until Koty appears and then it switches between first person storytelling to traditional storytelling, which becomes clumsy at times as you’re left guessing for the first paragraph or so which character you should be focusing on. There are a few spelling mistakes, even character names, which really should have been picked up on during a proofread. I read this on the Kindle app on an iPhone and about 2/3 of the way through the formatting became a nightmare, with some of the dialogue just stopping halfway through a line before continuing on the next line, and in some parts no line breaks between different characters dialogue.
I wanted to give this 2 stars but went with 3 for 2 reasons:
1. A quick check on Amazon shows I’m likely to be the first person to review this. I don’t have it in my heart to christen someone’s work with a bad review.
2. Underneath it all, there is a story here. I’m sure if it was taken away, expanded, and the formatting was reviewed, it could make a good story.
