In the Absence of Light

I absolutely loved reading In the Absence of Light. I can only describe it as a delightful, funny, and awesome novel.

I actually don’t even remember how I came across it (I probably got it in a bunch with others and forgot about it), but there it was so what else to do but reading it?

I liked it from the first few sentences, and I knew I was going to love it.

First, we get Grant, a dubious guy on the run from the FBI. And then we have the gorgeous Morgan who has no time for games. You’d think this is either a recipe for failure or something awesome, and luckily for us, it’s the second option.

In essence, this is a beautiful story about learning to see what’s in front of you plain and simple. Things don’t always go smooth, but then again, they rarely do, and we might get worried along the way, but with perseverance we get to discover a great book.

If you didn’t read this yet, I highly recommend it.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE this story. The book is in desperate need of editing for grammatical issues, but the story is AMAZING.

2.5 stars. I skim-read this as soon as I realized it had a substantial suspense plot that wasn't really alluded to in the book blurb. Other than that, I had some issues with the portrayal of Morgan. While I like the fact that Wilder shows him with a playful sense of humor towards those who underestimate him and aren't able to see past his autism (the toothpick trick is a scream), I still felt like he functioned mostly as a learning tool for Grant to help him Learn to See instead of a fully formed character.

This is my first book by this author and I have a feeling she is just not my cuppa, but for those with more interest in intrigue/suspense YMMV.
