Gehört zur ReiheA Killian Kendall Mystery (Book 3) Auszeichnungen
Killian Kendall's life is changing faster than he can keep up. He's graduating from high school, breaking up with his boyfriend, and starting a new job with a private investigator. He's barely settled at his new desk when his ex-boyfriend calls with a desperate plea for help. He wants Killian to prove his new boyfriend is innocent in the shockingly violent murder of his abusive father. Killian reluctantly agrees to take the case, little knowing how complicated - and dangerous - things will become before it's over. On the home front, Killian's surrogate parents decide to buy a historic mansion and turn it into a bed and breakfast. The house comes with a rich history... and maybe a ghost or two. Killian doesn't want to believe in such things, but he's quickly becoming convinced that something terrible happened to the home's original owners. The century-old mystery both terrifies and tantalizes Killian. In the end, he may be the only one who can uncover the truth. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

At the beginning of this novel, it’s clear that his love story with Asher is at the end, I haven’t read the second book in the series, so sorry, I don’t know if this is something that had already began, but even considering All Lost Things a stand alone book, it’s a reasonable event. The title of the book, All Lost Things, has different meanings, and one of them I think is the loosing of innocence, the innocence linked with being young. Killian and Asher are growing and their paths to adulthood are different.
The same lost of innocence is also happening to Caleb, Asher’s new love interest, a strange boy, younger than Asher; when Asher realizes that he is loosing Killian, for no other apparently reason if not that they are growing apart, he searches in Caleb someone else to “protect”, someone that is still malleable. The book has two subplots; one of them is Caleb’s case: Caleb’s abusive father is dead in a fire, and Caleb is main suspect.
The second subplot is something more ethereal, but not less scaring: Steve and Adam, Killian’s “adoptive” parents, want to open a B&B in an ancient mansion which people believe being haunted by the ghost of a woman, Amalie, dead in the vain waiting of the return of his husband lost in sea. Again a “loosing” factor, again innocent characters that couldn’t do anything again fate.
Other than his two cases to train as private investigator, there is a also a new love story for Killian, this time with a more adult flavour: Killian and Asher were teenager, and their relationship was made of kisses and jealousy, of gossip and maybes; Killian and Micah instead have something stronger and important, something that maybe have more changes to survive the time passing.
