This is my first time reading a book by L.J.Sellers. I actually chose to read this book because I wanted to try a new author and the blurb of the book seemed promising, as it indicated that it was about memory loss and such stories have always appealed to me. This book stands alone, with a small role played by Agent Dallas, the titular character of Seller’s Dallas series.
We follow a girl named Remy as she tries to understand and remember who she is and was. She is still recovering from a lightening strike accident that happened a few months before and has lost her ability to remember most of her past until her accident.
The story actually travels on many timelines, with the present, interspersed with events from the past, and when Remy remembers them. Told from the viewpoints of Dallas and Remy, the reader is also treated to a highly non-cohesive series of events owing to Remy’s extremely spotty memory.
Remy, from what she could see around her in her house and the people near her, gets the feeling that she is either in hiding or is fleeing someone. Just when the reader thinks things couldn’t get tougher, Remy is kidnapped and kept hostage by a group of people, whom she thinks she might have had connections with in the past, but is unable to remember any of it.
Who are these people? What do they want of her? Will she be able to remember her past and also save herself?
The story starts off with a brisk pace and travels relentlessly without ever slowing down throughout. Sellers managed to keep me hooked through the alternating timelines. She has a crisp and brisk writing style which makes for an interesting and engaging story.
The only problem I had with the book was the fact that it doesn’t delve too much in the characters’ minds and hearts; we never really learn what drives them nor do we understand their choices.
Otherwise, this is a solid thriller with some extraordinary twists and an entertaining story. And I absolutely enjoyed it.
This book gets 5 out 5 stars.
