3.5 stars - Waking up not remembering where you are might be unsettling but not as much as finding a bloody knife wrapped in a shirt in your pocket.

Lost and confused Liv doesn’t understand why strangers are living in her apartment. Where is her roommate and why is her boyfriend not answering her calls. Why does she have writing all over her hands and arms telling her to stay awake.

Trying to piece together her memories, amidst the chaos, and police looking for as a suspect in a murder is something she can understand.

With Liv’s memory being so unreliable she is trying to figure out why she can’t remember the last two years. However the closer she gets to finding out the more danger she is in.

I struggled with the beginning, it dragged a bit for me with it being repetitive from Liv’s POV and the cops POV. I figured out early on who did it, though the journey there did lead you down many possible leads. It was a solid read, and would keep you guessing.

I received an arc for review, all opinions are my own and given freely.
