I am having some mix feelings about this book. I really wanted to love it and just didn’t.

Its a story of a Kenni who’s family thought she was killed 10 years ago but actually has been on the run after she was attacked and her mother killed. She was saved by her uncle who taught her to survive until he was killed. She returns home and lives as someone else for 2 years before someone finally suspects that she is not who she says she is. Meantime after 2 years she connects with Jazz who as a teenager she had feelings for and he had feelings as well but never acted on them and then he thought she was dead. This story is about Kenni and Jazz solving the mystery of who attempted to kill her.

There a lot of plot holes that I am just having a hard time with. Jazz I think is suppose to be an ex marine but it was unclear while his best friend is suppose to be an ex Federal agent but they also have an association with a clan called the Kin that I didn’t quite understand. I also was confused about the relationship between him and Kenni. If they both had feelings for each other (some pretty serious feelings at that) he didn’t recognize her after she was what seemed liked stalking him for 2 years.

Her family had heard that she had been spot 10 years before and did attempt to find her but then all of the sudden just stopped and told no one that they had a suspicion she may be alive. In the meantime she has been living among them for 2 years and it took that long for anyone to suspect her. There was just too many of these open questions to full enjoy the book.
