Fuuuuuuck....

Imagine my fuckin surprised face when I realised that this is not a standalone novel?!

Now I'm kind of pissed off too cause i didn't expect it, I got ambushed, and I don't like the submissive disoriented feeling much either...😤😒

Well, aside the crappy feeling lingering, this was a bit different kind of read from what I am used to reading from Cambria Hebert and I most definitely liked the storyline!

A young man Eddie finds a girl afloat on a lake shore, unconscious, beaten and brused. The first sight of her reminds him of a girl he used to know-Sadie Gordon, a 14 year old who went missing in the very same lake 11 years ago, and Edward/Eddie has been living shattered by the guilt all this time!

He never stopped looking. He never stopped believing even when it was eating him alive inside...he never stopped hoping.

Could it be true?!

Could she be her?!

And if yes, where the hell has she been all these years?!

And what the hell happened to her?!

So many questions...so little answers...

This battered girl can't give them...cause she does't know her name, she doesn't know who she is, she doesn't know anyone or anything...she's AMNESIA
Patients with fugue amnesia forget their entire past but also their identity. They have no idea who they are. Even reminding them who they are, showing pictures, etc. doesn’t jog their memory...

and her story is yet to be unraveled...and with his help it slowly will come to some sort of closure and to the point where to Eddie it doesnt matter anymore-if she's his long lost friend or a girl he undeniably fell for.
Amnesia didn’t represent something I’d lost anymore, but something I’d gained. Something I desperately wanted to keep

but the danger is still out there, waiting, watching, pacing, until it strikes again...

Romantic suspense, and a thriller with a mysterious creepish mist somewhat similar to the one in the popular David Lynch's series "Twin Peaks".

Even though, Cambria here intertwins the romantic notion developing between the main characters, the lingering mystery ans pent up anticipation of peeled layers is somewhat sullen and mild in nature but it still keeps you guessing and wondering...what the hell happened?!


And just like Amnesia/Sadie, we are left in doubt, stunned...
Who was I really?


Fuckin A...now we have to endure until summer to find out the answer to that everlasting question.

The Sirens are BR-ing.
