Review: Never Say Die


Book Review: Never Say Die, by Tess Gerritsen, 4 stars




Twenty years after her father’s plane crashed in the jungles of Southeast Asia, Willy Jane Maitland is finally tracking his last moves. She recognizes the danger, but her search for the truth is the only thing that matters.

Willy knows she can’t proceed without the help of ex-army officer Guy Barnard, who knows the mysterious land well. But in a place where truth has many faces, she suspects even Guy has hidden motives. What she couldn’t have prepared for are the shocking secrets and the undeniable attraction.


Genre: romantic suspense

Publication date: August 2018 (for the current Kindle version; the story was originally published in 1992)

Mature content: yes

Review: Although this is clearly an older story, I rather enjoyed reading it, especially the first part (the second part felt slightly less realistic, although I did love the end). So even though the setting may be slightly outdated, it was still very interesting to read about all the places Willy and Guy pass through at a time where wars were still fairly recent and in most people's minds (and motives).


 


The plot is cleverly weaved to stretch the elements of mystery and suspense and apart from a few slower moments here and there, it is rather fast paced. Between the main characters. Guy was clearly my favorite - Willy sounds a just bit too stubborn and silly sometimes. 

Overall, Never Say Die is a good book and if you love the genre and don't mind reading slightly outdated stories, you should give it a try. 


Happy readings!
