Never Happened

by Debra Webb

Handsome men are like kryptonite to Alex, but a husband, kids…trust? Building Never Happened–a cleanup service that erases all evidence of a homicide or suicide–is her main priority. But while being independent, beautiful and successful has its pluses, it's also pretty lonely. Or was until Alex learns that a high-tech gadget she found at a scene got a detective–and former lover–killed. Now she has mysterious CIA operative Austin Blake shadowing her every move. Caring for her irresponsible mother is hard enough, but toss in a murder investigation… How is she supposed to avoid trouble with Austin and get the job done? Well, maybe the two aren't mutually exclusive. After all, isn't it time Alex stepped back and just let life happen…?

[Bri · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not have high expectations going into this book, but it turned out to be better than I expected. I liked the main character. She was different and I liked how the author explored and went into that personality/lifestyle of being happily noncommittal for most of her life. The mystery side of the story was wanting. The way it all tied together was quick and unsatisfying. The ending with the main character's internal struggle was also unsatisfying and a little confusing to me. Overall, this book was ok. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.

it held a lot of suspense. it was interesting except for the narrator reassuring herself that its ok to die alone, its ok not to have a family etc almost on every page.
