Finding You

Rating:
Summary: Okay but lacks intensity.
Review: I really didn't get to feel much danger in the story bec. that's the way Cozie and Daniel seemed to view the threat. I also disliked the way Daniel interacted with his best friend, J.D. I suppose that some of Daniel's dialogue with J.D. and Cozie was meant to be witty. But they came out rather accusatory instead. Also some of the characters sound like real hypocrites. Cozie and Daniel are also totally blind and stubborn regarding some clues.

Summary: Strong story and characters
Review: This is definitely one of Neggers' better books, although it was written almost 10 years ago. Finding You is the story of Daniel Foxworth and Constance (Cozie) Hawthorne, a couple that meets up in Vermont after a tragic accident. Daniel, a helicopter pilot is shouldering the blame for a recent helicopter crash and is out to prove his innocence - mainly by casting suspicion on Cozie's brother Seth. Meanwhile, Cozie - a bestselling author and newswoman - is haunted by prank phone calls. Cozie and Daniel are both at the center of an unraveling mystery, and the dynamic between Daniel and Cozie is pretty good; you get a good feel for their attraction to one another and yet you know they are both very strong individuals. The family ties, particularly between Cozie and her brother, Seth, were well written, and the entire story was, in fact, about family. The Hawthorne family, which used to be powerful in this small-town Vermont area, and the new powers, the Vanackerns. The scenery really stands out in this book as well - Neggers does a good job of painting a nice picture of Vermont in the fall/winter and providing some details about clothing and such - you can really imagine how Cozie and Daniel would look. I wish Cozie had been a bit more feminine though - her character was pretty brusque and manly at times and I had a hard time eventually believing she would be a happy homemaker.

Summary: TERRIFIC STORY ABOUT FAMILY, LOVE, AND CHANCE!
Review: This was the first and so far the best Neggers book I have read! I really loved the family connections and the heroine Cozie! :) The new England backround was beautiful and vivid! I highly recommend this book for a nice lazy afternoon read! :)
