It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Cambria Hebert book. I loved some of the books of the Hashtag series, but I stopped reading them because it had too much angst. I love the Amnesia cover and the raving reviews sucked me into this book.

Overall, I would say the book was okay. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. It’s a good suspenseful book to read if you are on a long trip or it’s a rainy day. The main issue I had with this book was the fact it was REALLY DAMN LONG. I don’t have anything against long books, but I found myself not really caring at certain parts. I mean, it was so long, it took me weeks to finish this book. I kept on putting it down every 10-15% because I stopped being interested.

The book is about Amnesia (I really hated her name, I don’t know why. I usually don’t care for the Heroine’s name, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. Every time I read her name, I kept on thinking what a horrible name, but I digress). Amnesia washes up ashore, like Prince Eric on Little Mermaid. Edward saves Amnesia (Am) and he kind of sticks to her.

I mean, he’s all up in Am’s business and I really loved that about him. I love a good damsel book and Edward was my awesome Hero that cared for Am fiercely, to the point of possessiveness, which I loved.

There’s a lot of questions that come to play, like Who is Am? Where did she come from? Why did she wash up to shore? What’s with all the town secrets?

I really enjoyed trying to discover all the secrets and how everyone was related. I kind of wish there was more of this. I felt like the pace was REALLY SLOW. The storyline was subtle, so if you are into that, then this is for you.

The relationship between Edward and Am is a slow burn and I really liked that. I liked how they slowly got together (yes I know, I say the book dragged, but I like the slow developing relationship, it makes sense in my head).

I can see why some loved this book and although it wasn’t a complete hit for me, I thought it was ok. Oh and this (view spoiler)[It ends on a cliffhanger, which is okay in my opinion because I’m not bothered by a cliffy, BUT the book is so long, I can’t see how another book is going to be written. I mean, I think all the answers can be answered in like ten pages (But that is just me). (hide spoiler)]
