From the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Whisper Me This comes a witty, magical story about improbable connections, difficult gifts, and the unexpected events that heal us and bring us together.
Jailbird. Klepto. Spectacular failure to launch. Nicole Wood’s sticky fingers have earned her many names, but it’s not that she’s stealing—some objects just need to be moved elsewhere, and the universe has chosen her to do it. Still, being a relocator of objects isn’t easy. With her marriage on the rocks, no real-world skills, and the threat of prison hanging over her head, Nicole is determined to change her ways.
Things seem to be looking up, thanks to a godsent job with her sister’s housecleaning business—until she encounters a seemingly harmless paperback that insists on moving from one client’s home to another’s. Nicole hopes no one will notice, but the action stirs up long-hidden secrets and triggers a series of fateful events that threatens to destroy the life she’s creating and hurt those closest to her. She’ll need to embrace her unwieldy gift and take a chance on love in order to unravel the mystery and fix what’s gone wrong.
MY THOUGHTS:
WOW! What a book. This book took me to a good place. After reading quite a few very sad tearjerker yet excellent books I needed some magic. This book gave me that and more. It's edge of your seat in places also. But the magic was so much fun. I really loved and enjoyed this book.
Told from two people's pov, Nicole and Hawk. I absolutely loved both of them. They were easy to love. Both have a lot of good in them. Both are in need of something good in their lives. Both are good and caring people.
Nicole has this somewhat hard to explain gift of finding things. Things that belong to the wrong person. She takes them to where they rightfully belong. She calls it moving them. She has no idea why these things speak to her but she will figure it out when she can. For now she just has to do this. She's had this in her life since she was six years old. She is also not a liar. No matter what she will tell you the truth. Anyone that knows her well knows that.
Hawk is a PI who you will also love. He's suppose to follow Nicole and find out what she did with some money she moved. In the process of following her he finds out a lot. He in a way gets to know her. He starts questioning whether or not her ex or almost ex is really the good guy in this situation.
Then there is Andrea. At first I did not think I was going to like her at all. She's a bit overbearing and wants everything done her way no matter the cost. She's very reclusive and always watching. She also suffers from terrible anxiety. I can relate. After you get to know her and find out how she fits in this story you will like her. I did. I found her to be a tough woman who had some secrets she was terrified of being revealed. She definitely needs someone to help her and she doesn't even know it.
As for Nicole's family. I didn't like them too much. I felt sorry for her mother but her siblings were kind of jerks. Way to judgmental and seemed to lack the caring a sibling should have. They know Nicole. They know she is not a liar, yet they believe her almost ex when he tells them things? Makes no sense. But he was very convincing. He fooled almost everyone. He used Nicole's gift against her. You may like him. I didn't. I thought he was a big jerk.
This book was just so good. Well written and made you feel like you was there with the characters. From the start to the finish you will keep turning the pages. You will feel some's fears and other's tears. Some's anger and other's forgiveness. And it's a bit of a love story too. That just made it better.
Thank you to #NetGalley, #KerryAnneKing, #LakeUnionPublishers for this ARC. This is my own true feelings about this book.
5/5 stars and a very high recommendation. Read it and enjoy. It's magic!
