Author: Michelle Adams
Publication Date: March 5, 2019
Genre: Psychological Suspense
Recommended If You Like: amnesia mysteries, family drama

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

The Book:

Chloe Daniels finds herself surrounded by her parents and sister after waking up from a car accident with no memory. Feeling literally trapped in her childhood home, her attempts to regain her memory begin to open doors to secrets her family would rather she forget.

What I Liked:

I'm always intrigued by a book with a premise like this, where there are secrets from the past that the protagonist can only discover through finding their own clues and putting them together. Plus, there were a lot of twists.

Anything I Didn't Like?

Unfortunately, this was another meh psychological suspense book for me. I saw the big twist coming from before the halfway point of the book. Most of the main characters were highly unlikable, and the narrator came across as unfortunately pretty boring. The random italicized chapters from a "mystery" character's point of view were poorly written and took me out of the book.

So...?

This was another book I really did want to like, with an intriguing premise in a genre I tend to love. But I unfortunately cannot recommend this. I kept reading until I finished, hoping I would be surprised, but I was left unimpressed.
