After a car accident puts Shauna McAllister in a coma and wipes out six months of her memory, she returns to her childhood home to recover, but her arrival is fraught with confusion.
Her estranged father, a senator bidding on the White House, and her abusive stepmother blame Shauna for the tragedy, which has left her beloved brother severely brain damaged. Leaning on Wayne Spade, a forgotten but hopeful lover who stays by her side, Shauna tries to sort out what happened that night by jarring her memory to life. Instead, she acquires a mysterious mental ability that will either lead her to truth or get her killed by the people trying to hide it.
In this blind game of cat and mouse that stares even the darkest memories in the face, Shauna is sure of only one thing: if she remembers, she dies.
In typical Dekker style, this thriller is fast paced and contains twists and turns. (who can you trust?-type of characters) Not in typical Dekker style is the focus on building character. This comes in the form of Erin Healy. She brings a new voice to the main character, a woman, that Ted has never delved into.
This story in more along the lines of Blink of an Eye than say, Sinner. The tag says, "Heart pounding meets heart warming." There are some romantic scenes, but nothing like Twilight...bleh!
I can't wait for Dekker's next novel, Boneman's Daughters!
