Amnesia Bites by Sharon Stevenson

4.0

In Amnesia Bites, we meet Zack, a quiet, wounded, insecure psychic. He has the ability of visual memory, imprinting on objects and picking up those memories, which are the only ones he gains because he has no memory of his past. Because of this ability, vampires and necromancers want to be able to use him, so he is thrown into the "Witness Protection" of sorts with Bridget, a police officer assigned to protect him.
Bridget and other characters we meet, such as Chloe, his ex-girlfriend he doesn't remember, aren't as trustworthy as they seem, as everyone has their own agenda. With no memory, Zack has to navigate based on instinct. Placed in the middle of the murder, it's up to him to solve it. Zack doesn't make for a strong lead character, but the supporting characters do help in making the story stronger. The fact that the story was a cliffhanger was a huge disappointment to me. A series can work really well together and make each book able to be read as a standalone. If they cannot, they should be labeled as a serial and in the interest of transparency let the readers know it is going to be a cliffhanger.
The writing does get stronger as the book progresses which does have me interested in reading the next book.
