Although I didn’t love this book, it was well done and the ending was good. But I don’t prefer unreliable narrators and this book definitely fell into that category.

Stayed up late finishing this. Great story and I loved the quick pacing of the chapters. One of the better mysteries I’ve read in a while.

4 stars. Audiobook.
The voice actor went OFF of this. I really appreciate her efforts! Story was scary, kept me guessing until the reveal. The first half is kinda slow and a bit confusing with all the time skipping but the last quarter was a ride!

3.75 stars, the premise sucked me in and the pace kept me interested. I don’t like that there were questions left unanswered at the end of the book (How did Kevin know who she was and why did he keep calling her? Was Q just a creep or was he up to some $hit too?) but overall a quick read. I did guess the killer but totally missed the affair the first time around, so the writer did a good job dropping subtle hints that were obvious looking back once it was revealed.

I received an arc of this book.
Imagine waking every time from sleep and not remembering a single thing of the last 2 years. EVERY time, having to work out why nothing is as you remember it - then seeing your face on the television in connection with a murder. This is what faces our protagonist.
Very well written, as always. Secrets held on tight, releasing at a slow burn amongst the fast paced action as Liv tries to find the missing pieces of her life.

It was pretty entertaining and a good, fast read. I saw a lot of things coming, but there was a big twist at the end that I wasn't expecting. There were a few questions I still feel weren't answered fully, but I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it for someone who wants a quick murder-mystery read.
