No Going Back: A Novel | Sheena Kamal
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
From Strand Critics Award winner Sheena Kamal, comes the third novel featuring the brilliant, fearless, deeply flawed Nora Watts whose vendetta against a triad enforcer escalates when he places a target on her daughter's back. Find your enemy. Before he finds you. Nora Watts has a talent for seeing what lies beneath strangers' surfaces, and for knowing what they're working hard to keep hidden. Somehow, it's the people closest to her she has trouble truly connecting with. In the case of Bonnie, the teenage daughter Nora gave up for adoption, she has to keep trying. For Bonnie has a target on her back--and it's all because of Nora. Two years ago, Bonnie was kidnapped by the wealthy Zhang family. Though Nora rescued her, she made a powerful enemy in Dao, a mysterious triad enforcer and former head of the Zhangs' private security. Now Dao is out for revenge, and she needs to track him down in order to keep herself--and Bonnie--safe. On Dao's trail, Nora forms an unlikely partnership with Bernard Lam, an eccentric playboy billionaire with his own mysterious grudge to bear, and reunites with Jon Brazuca, ex-cop turned private investigator and Nora's occasional ally. From Canada to southeast Asia they pursue Dao, uncovering a shadowy criminal cabal. But soon, the trail will lead full circle to Vancouver, the only home Nora's ever known, and right to the heart of her brutal past.

Welp, that was intense. So many layers that fit so well together. I really really hope there another installment or that the story continues with another major character in the series, like with with Bonnie. Hmmm...

Vancouver private detective Nora Watts had a Palestinian mother & an Indigenous father. I read the 1st in this series a while back, skipped the 2nd & have now finished the 3rd. Thrillers aren‘t my usual fare but I do appreciate a feisty female lead who isn‘t great at interpersonal relations. She‘s a recovering alcoholic & still learning about her own self worth. A suspenseful #audiobook read by the incomparable Bahni Turpin. #CanLit #shadowgiller

He wanted to go to Alberta & see a new purple coloured ribbon of light in the aurora borealis that scientists are calling Steve. Even though it‘s now known that Steve is actually a 25 km-wide concentration of hot gases, he still thinks it‘s worth a trip to Alberta, which is insanity. Nothing is worth going to Alberta.

I didn‘t realize this was the third book in a series until I was already a couple hours into it. Apparently, you don‘t need to read the first two books to read this one, but I just don‘t feel invested in the characters or story. I‘m not enjoying it as much as I could be, so I‘m going to set it aside.
