Before I start my review, I am going to let you guys know that I am switching up my review style again. The list 3 things I liked/disliked will be in here but I will be writing the review instead of just putting up the 3 things. My style of reviewing is always evolving…lol.

Now saying that here is the review:

I loved the storyline. I mean, you got a crew on a deep space mining ship (or tug) that is going to survey a planet that could be habitable and be a new Earth. Then the unthinkable happens and a crew member is murdered. Who do you trust and better yet, who do you believe?

I really got into this book. I mean, you couldn’t help but like and sympathise with Jake when all hell breaks out on the ship after the first death. I mean, you are on this tiny vessel with crewmates and someone could be a killer. And when the body count goes up to 3, the tension really came through the book. I did feel bad for Jake because he team was torn apart and mentally, it was tough on him.

I wasn’t too keen on the almost love story. To be honest, that part could have been left out. I could have done without reading about Jake’s attraction to a certain Dr.

The relationships between the different characters were tangible and you couldn’t help but root for them all (even the bad guys, as weird as that sounds).

The ending was great and totally on spot for this book. There was a twist that I kinda saw coming. Enough hints were dropped but it totally took my by surprise.

3 Things I liked about New Dawn:

1) The storyline

2) Jake

3) The ending

3 Things that I disliked about New Dawn:

1) The almost love story between Jake and the ship’s Dr

2) Sadie’s death

3) Jason
How many stars will I give New Dawn: 4

Why? It was a very well written book with characters that you couldn’t help but start to care for. Written in journal style, it might not be for some people (I loved it). It did lag a tiny bit in the middle but the author did a great job of getting the momentum back up.

Will I reread it? Yes

Will I recommend it to family and friends? Yes

Age range: Teen on up

Why? It is a relatively clean book. No kissing and minimal violence. There is a section, though, where Jake pops pills to keep awake while drilling.
