INDELIBLE by Kristen Heitzmann is a unique story, with an eerily dark overtone. A fan of Heitzmann’s previous work, including INDIVISBLE, I found myself enthralled but at the same time a bit disturbed. With several inimitable characters, at times, I felt the author tried to weave too many stories into one. A sculpture with an eidetic-memory, an Olympic-medal-winning skier forced into retirement, a blind artist, and a child mauled by a mountain lion are just some of the tortured characters that makeup the backbone of this book.
INDELIBLE made for a quick read. Even if I felt the quotes from Paradise Lost were distracting and unnecessary, the characters were so different I wanted to find out if and when they would ever be put out of their self-imposed torture.
I loved the relationship that built between Trevor and Natalie. While inwardly they admitted their need for each other, they moved with caution not wanting the other to bear the heavy baggage they carried.
I felt the end was a little rushed, and the relationship between Trevor and Sarah a bit disturbing, but overall I am still a fan of Kristen’s. I also enjoyed catching up with some of the characters from INDIVISBLE.
