In Tim Downs’ latest novel - Wonders Never Cease - Kemp McAvoy is a disgruntled nurse who believes, when he is assigned as the private nurse of has-been actress Olivia Hayden, his ship has finally come in. Olivia Hayden, in a medically induced coma, will receive an angelic messenger who delivers an astounding message that will produce a best selling book and millions for Kemp. But, when his girlfriend’s six-year-old daughter claims that she is seeing angels, will this make his whole scheme start crashing down?
Tim Downs has created a beautiful story that leaves you guessing until the very end. It is heartwarming and tender. He has created very likable characters (Natalie, Leah and Emmett) as well as despicable characters (Kemp, Wes and Morty). While the story seems to jump around a lot at the beginning, the fluidity in which the story moved worked with the pieces. I absolutely hated Kemp and his selfishness, but Natalie and her selflessness was enough of a balance. This story was one that was difficult to put down and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall it is a great piece of fiction that restores one’s faith in the human race and in a higher power.
As a side note, I did receive a free copy of the book from Thomas Nelson Publishing as a member of the BookSneeze.com Blogger Community program. I was not required in any way to post a positive review. The opinions stated above are mine and mine alone.
