A review by beverleyleeauthor
The Forgotten Girl by Rio Youers
5.0
It's been a while since I read a twisty supernatural thriller and this genre-bending story had me turning the pages quickly to find out what happened next.
Harvey Anderson is a peace loving street performer, catapulted into a situation where a girl he can't remember puts him on the radar of a particularly nasty group of thugs, led by 'The Spider.' All that is left in his head is one tattered memory, and with this shred Harvey has two choices, one of which will put his life (and the lives of those he loves) in danger.
Imagine a book that is the love child of Joe Hill and Dean Koontz, and you have this. The characters were all incredibly well developed and the writing style so fluid it's very easy to be swept along.
There are brutal scenes. There are touching scenes. But all are handled exceptionally well. There's a care here, a writer who understands his story and the humanity within it. Pick this one up, you won't be disappointed.
Many thanks to Titan Books for the review copy and for putting this author on my radar.
