If She Wakes by Michael Koryta
2.0
Disappointingly, especially because I did enjoy the writing, I just couldn't get into this story. At all. Too many side stories, and too many characters that I didn't care about. I'll have to look into other novels by Koryta because If She Wakes surely can't be his best work.
If She Wakes begins with Tara Beckley, a senior in college, driving an important man to an event. A horrific accident occurs, which leaves the man dead and Tara in a coma with locked-in syndrome, seemingly brain dead to onlookers. Abby, an insurance investigator, is hired by the college to see if they could be blamed for the accident. She discovers that the "accident" story doesn't quite line up and it must've been a deliberate attack. Next thing she knows, she's being chased by a teenage hitman named Dax.
The ending wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped it'd be. The book really could've been shortened, too, since it dragged on at some places.
