Never Apart by Romily Bernard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Grace and her boyfriend Ander have died 41 times now by the hand of Finn but every time the event comes Grace finds herself awakening in another body, another version of Grace. The trio have been falling from parallel world to parallel world over and over again with the same outcome every time. Ander always finds Grace but withing five days they find themselves in danger again.
The trio seemed to be locked together in this horrible eternity until now, now things are different in this fall. Grace awakened to another version of herself as usual but Ander hasn’t found her. And in this life Grace’s family is together again including her twin who had been missing in all of her universe jumps. But Finn and Ander are here so what is different this time with the trio that events have changed?
Never Apart by Romily Bernard is a young adult suspenseful fantasy read featuring the idea of traveling from one dimension to another alternate reality over and over again. The story in the book is told by following Grace in her current reality trying to figure things out and by alternating back to the beginning of her story to see how the trio had come to begin their journey through dimensions.
The best part of this book was mixing a thriller element of Grace and Ander immediately being attacked and killed in the opening pages before their fall to another reality with the fantasy side of them continuing this nightmare over and over again. There were twists and turns as the story unfolded that lead up to the final conclusion engaged all the way in the story.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
Awesome review Carrie! I’m planning on reading this in the next week.☺️
Thanks! I can’t help but think it also goes to show how close our tastes are when we have so many of the same books. LOL
It’s a little uncanny!
