“Sexy-hot romance meets mind-bending mystery, and all I can do is beg for more!” – USA Today Best Selling Author Samanthe BeckThe world is a scary place, even when you know who you are, where you come from and most importantly, who your enemies are.So imagine how I felt when I woke up inside of Mayford Mental Institution, strapped to a bed in a dark, empty room with no recollection of how I got … recollection of how I got there. Try to picture having no family or friends to help you try to remember and adjust to a totally new life.
If only my problems stopped there. If only I didn’t have someone trying to torment me at every turn. If only my life didn’t become more and more complicated the more I started to remember.
It started out okay enough – my friend-turned-psychiatrist Mark found me a job and a place to live. My neighbor Keegan took me in under her wing and helped me adjust. Wyatt, a dark, brooding and dangerously sexy new tenant moved in the day after me, taking on the task of reminding me what blinding lust feels like.
What goes up, must come down, and as soon as life starts to feel like something I can handle, the gravity of my messed up life yanks me right back down on my ass. Kind of crazy how quickly you can go from being completely apathetic about your unknown future, to fearing that your future might not even exist at all….

Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genre’s and this one is full of intrigue and some danger as well. Brailey’s story is as complex as it is simple. Lots of twists and turns. I hope there’s another book to take care of the unfinished business.
Favorite Quotes:
Anger, fear and confusion team up with each other and throw a tantrum.
She practically skips in his direction, looking at him like he’s been dipped in chocolate and she’s got a craving for something sweet.
I swear, it’s always the damn quiet ones that are truly batshit. They bottle up all their crazy so much that they just fly right past that grey area and straight into crazy town at the drop of a hat.
My Review:
I am struggling to come to grips with how I feel about this book and how to rate it. I enjoyed the snarky humor, banter, and unpredictable and intriguing storyline. However, I struggled to like the characters; Brailey was an awkward and contrary mess of contradiction and confusion. She was also annoying and tended to exasperate me. Wyatt was sexy yet moody and his indecisive back and forth tendencies were dizzying. Yet – the fact that I continued to care about them and remained interested in the story tells me something. But – the frequent conflict, crankiness, irritability, arguing, push/pull melodrama – but maybe that is just me… I tend to find that tiresome although I know others enjoy being teased and the tension of near-constant angst. The suspense was well-paced with considerable twists and turns to keep plucking at my curiosity – I couldn’t decide which characters were trustworthy, as everyone seemed to be playing a role… I developed and discarded numerous theories. In sum, it did not fully register on my meter as being Great or “I really liked it,” but it was considerably better than just Good or “Okay.
Jenn Hype’s ability to take a character and make it her own is beyond amazing! Every female character she creates has a piece of her soul and personality woven in tightly. Brailyn is no different. She is strong, independent and takes nothing off of nobody, even without a memory. She is not a victim or a survivor. She is better than either. I came away from this story with a deeper respect for people that have suffered any kind of injustice to them and refused to play the victim!

Need more! This was a slow burn romance that makes you fall in love, slaps you in your face and then says ehh maybe. Loved it! The last chapter though….
Wow! Such an amazing story. It had my full attention from beginning to end. Farewell Apathy is filled with fantastic characters, suspense, intrigue, twists, mystery, love, heat, and will keep you guessing till the end. I loved everything about this book and highly recommend adding this book to your TBR!
