I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing until the end with many plot twists. It was well written and thought out and engaging.
I definitely liked this thriller. It has everything you need to define a good book: a basic theme not yet overused, a good twist towards the end with a breaking out of events that leads to a resolution and a perfect open ending.
Memory loss during deep sleep, in fact, isn’t a easy theme to use in a novel, especially if the novel is all told from …
Five stars!!! Had me hooked from page one. If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers, this is a must read. I was completely enthralled from beginning to end.
Potential completely lost on the author. Why is she writing her (second) book, if it has nothing to do with anything? As in, the story should have been about her tricking herself, or that she’s a character, or that she has created some other self-induced psychological delusion. Something involving her writing. Which seems to have well-crafted …
A page turner. Thoroughly enjoyed the suspense.
Hard to get through
It is a good premise but the execution was a little clumsy. To show the horror of Christina’s life there was the need have the repetition of having her wake up with no memory multiple days and this was tedious to read. The feelings and actions associated with her condition were shown and the feeling of eminent danger did start to grow toward the …
Haunting! Keeps you guessing.
Wow. This book will keep you hanging on until you finish it!
I liked the writing and the subject. It kept my interest and was very tense.
Oh my what a book. You wake up and the past is gone, but why what caused it to be gone. Who are you? Well this book is a do not put it down book, a page turning, thriller, scary mess that I needed answers to now. It was a great read. Yes I am addicted to a certain type of thriller suspense and this was a 10 out of 10.
Edge of the seat reading. Loved it!
Starts off slow, but keep with it bc it is worth it!
Loved this book. Original story line, hard to put down.
Full of suspense with an unpredictable ending. Loved it!
An interesting story line with a woman who forgets everything each night when she goes to sleep. The unfolding of how she lost her memory, who caused it, and what will happen in the future is clever. Enjoyable and easy read. A bit redundant in descriptions at times.
This book kept me wanting to keep reading (at the expense of the book I was currently on!). The premise of the book is realistic enough, and I never quite knew who I could trust. Of course, the narrator can’t help at all since she has no memory (and quite frankly doesn’t know who to trust either!). Great thriller.
a really interesting amnesia story . . . I wake up every day with no memories. Cleverly constructed, well written story. I’ll read this author again. I recommend this title without reservation.
I really liked this. Very unusual.
This book is okay. I got tired of reading the redundancy of her morning routines, but other than that, it’s an average book. Quick read.
