Mystery, suspense, realistic (interesting) characters - this book has it all. From the first page, I was hooked (and I adore books that grab my attention and won't let go!). Just read it. You won't be disappointed.

3.5 out of 5 stars for me!
I thought the book had some boring parts that I skimmed a bit but all in all the ending was unpredictable and pretty good. I very much enjoyed this. One thing that bugs me about books like this is if the characters are still in school there's always a dance coming up and most of the time they are more worried about the dance than saving their lives haha like WTF. Just something I wanted to get out. Also there was some creepy ass scenes in this that I applaud the author for! I love scary bits like that.
Book Thoughts video coming soon!

Don't Look Back is a psychological thriller about a girl who has lost her memory and is accused of murdering her best friend. Samantha was a very likeable character and I felt sympathy towards her.
I loved the plot twists (especially the last one) because they were gripping and exciting. I loved how the romance element was incorporated into the story.
Although, I would have liked to seen more characterisation of Cassie.

I enjoyed this book way more than I expected to. If you're a fan of Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick you'll probably enjoy this one too. A good mystery and well executed and the romance is fantastic. A good comfort book that still keeps you guessing and itching to get to the end to get answers

This book as just wow, wow and wow. It dragged me in immediately with how it started.
Poor Samantha, coming back to a life she doesn't know about, she doesn't even want anymore. I really disliked her friends and her boyfriend. Sure she was just as bad back then, when she got those friends, but now she is different.
I must say I loved this Samamtha, and I was kind of glad that she didn't get her memories back in one go, but instead it takes a whole book and even then... I loved how instead of just falling back with the group, she stuck to her new self and talked to everyone, didn't bitch and behaved like a model citizen.
Scott and Julie were wonderful characters, I especially loved Scott and how protective he was and how much he tried to be there for his sister. I was really cheering for him at a lot of moments.
Then we have the childhood friend (sorry he is quite forgettable and I forgot his name), for whom Samantha gets a big crush. And we get to one of the points of the book I didn't like. She was literally drooling every time she saw him, she had to mention a part that she liked, and I can tell you, that starts to get annoying after 3 times. After that, I was like: "Yeah we know you love the boy and want to get in his pants, now stop drooling and do something about it!!"
There was enough mystery in the book, also some scary things that really scared the wits out of me. Like when we see Cassie, or the whole note thing, or several other things.
Then we got the best part yet, the ending. Let's just say, I didn't see that one coming. I had my suspicions on other characters, and while I was slightly suspicious of this one, I didn't think they would do it.
There are various plot twists in the story which makes everything even better!
Would I recommend this book? Yes. Yes I would.

I was hooked!
This book was phenomenal. I love how the story started right in the middle of the confusion and I was hooked from the start. The whole time I was changing my theories about the mystery- who I thought was involved and why. I did not guess correctly about several things, but that’s ok because it made it suspenseful up to the end!

Thrilling book, with a cute love story and a sexy blue eyed boy.
Yupp I love Jennifer Armentrout and all that she writes. Is amazing how she draws me in her worlds. This book reminded me a little about Mara Dyer, in a totally good way. It was amazing, and i wish i could know what happens in the near future between Sammy and Carson once out of school and in college.
