“This whole email courtship is madness. I may be 100 percent cuckoo, but shouldn’t I at least be deliriously happy that he’s flying 5,659 miles to see me, instead of pacing around my room like a nervous wreck? Confession: I’ve been basking in the idea of him. But now that he’s just minutes away from touching down in Los Angeles, and his name doesn’t start with L, I have this gnawing intuitive feeling that something’s not quite kosher. It’s like that funny feeling you get when you get scared, and your hair on your arms stands on end.”

Never Lost

By Holly Brandon 


​

Chastity Ann “Chase” Morgan is on the precipice of getting everything she has ever wanted until a stranger cuts in on her first dance at her grandmother’s anniversary party, and an earthquake wreaks havoc on the momentous event. Still, these incidents are just the beginnings of even more weirdness as family secrets intensify and come to a head.

Tragedy strikes, catapulting Chase and her family on an unforgettable journey to New Orleans smack dab in the middle of Mardi Gras. A mysterious encounter with a fortune teller on Bourbon Street describes a hard-to-believe past ascribed to Chase. Since Chastity has never been to New Orleans, she considers the fortune teller’s words “a remote impossibility.” Even stranger are the vivid and recurrent dreams about letters and journal entries she never wrote, recollections of clandestine details never disclosed to family members, and an encounter with a ghost who seeks her help. When her ten-year-old psychic neighbor determines to help Chase solve the myriad of clues, Chase has no idea her little friend will lead her to the biggest mystery of them all.

Hold on to the edge of your seat on this journey of self-discovery as Multi Award-Winning Author Holly Brandon unfolds Chase’s unforgettable story, warring between romantic ideals and her unthinkable real-life encounters in Never Lost, the final installment in the romantic comedy series, The Chastity Series, about love, determination, and the strength of moving forward.

Life in the Chastity Zone, by Holly Brandon, is a leisurely novel about a modern woman named Chastity, and how she navigates romance in today's society. This is as she tries to figure out who she is and what (or who) she really wants--always at war with the romantic ideal she's learned from tradition and pop culture, and what she encounters in real life. It isn't the average romance or self-discovery story; it's broad and inclusive, with a brazen sense of humor, and capturing characters that almost any of us can see ourselves in, or know in our daily lives--pretentious, humble, and those in between. This is a book that moves along at a breezy pace and can be consumed in one long day or night. You'll find lots of little surprises in the read, like email exchanges, lists, and more.

Holly Brandon has a classy, smart style to her writing and a gift for fashioning a large cast of characters that you can actually care about and keep up with. Her dialogue is revealing and interesting, and you feel like you're one of the characters eavesdropping on conversations at a party or restaurant. What is surprising and refreshing is that Brandon doesn't take her characters in predictable directions. She allows the characters to choose their own paths, and the outcomes are honestly earned. Another appealing aspect of her writing is her rich descriptions of settings and situations--replete with detail. You can almost see or feel the clothing or furniture she describes. Life in the Chastity Zone is a story I could easily see as a Netflix series or situation comedy. This is one story I truly wish hadn't ended when it did or where it did, so I'm curious to find out what happens in the next book of the series.
