Seen by Lori Nelson – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
Seen by Lori Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Seen is a dystopian sci-fi thriller that centers around the character of Mouse, a soon-to-be sixteen-year-old girl. The story is crafted beautifully with a storyline that keeps you hooked, and scenes written so vividly that you are completely immersed into the story with the characters. The characters are well written, engaging, and lovable. Throughout the story we see them grow as they are put through one excruciating test after another that will test their strength and courage. Mouse is the one I instantly felt an emotional connection to with all the heartache, stress, and turmoil that comes at her. She is ambitious, smart, determined, hardworking, and courageous. In her quest to become a hard-hitting journalist she takes to the streets with her drone seeking a newsworthy story. What she stumbles onto changes her life and puts her in a position that could destroy her family. Things become intense and take a sinister turn when Mouse is kidnapped and one of her family members might be responsible. The author takes us on a gripping, edge-of-your-seat, intense ride as Mouse learns horrifying things about her family that put her own life in danger. This book had action, suspense, danger, murder, violence, mystery, secrets, lies, and betrayal. I highly recommend Seen!
