Never Leave Me by Jody Hedlund
Jody Hedlund hooked me in the first Waters of Time book, Come Back to Me. It was one of my favorite reads of 2021 and I have been anxiously awaiting this one. For me, Never Leave Me did not disappoint.
Ellen
Creighton is in the later stages of a genetic disease and is living out
what she believes are her last days at the estate of Harrison
Burlington. Harrison is in a wheel chair with paralysis. As this book
begins, Harrison finds the holy water that Marion has left for both him
and Ellen so that they can be healed--and they are. But what happens
next? Do they let people know they have been healed? Can they find more
holy water to help others that need healing? Before they can figure
things out, after a brief vacation, Ellen is kidnapped and forced to go
back in
time.
I enjoyed Never Leave Me. I liked that we
got to go back
in time and visit Marian and her husband, William, from the first book. I
enjoyed the time travel adventures as well as the mystery as they try
to track down where Ellen is being held captive. I also enjoyed the
romance between Ellen and Harrison with the friends to lovers trope.
Both their time together in the present and in the past included some
swoony romantic times.
I
did see glimpses of God through Never Leave Me as Ellen and Harrison
share their thoughts with the reader in some of their struggles. I
thought the spiritual aspect was well woven in to the plot. I also liked
that Never Leave
Me caused me to reflect on what I would do in that situation. I would
surely want to heal others that I know need it as well but what is the
best way to go about that and is it possible? I also enjoyed the
character Nicholas who helped Ellen in the 1300s. I think he would make a
great main character for another book--and I hope that the series will
continue.
I received this book from Revell Publishers, through Interview and Reviews. All opinions within this review are my own.
