Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-09 00:00:00 Oscar Prieto Castro Oh please! What the hell did I just read? To tell you the truth, this book wasn't totally awful. Almost the whole first half was great that I couldn't stop reading. It kept me guessing and curious what was really going on. I genuinely didn't know who the heroine could trust and it kept me wondering why the bad guys kept her alive. B U T in the second half… After things started to fall into place bit by bit, the more I read, the more frustrated I became! Everything in this half was off, far-fetched, implausible, and didn't make any sense to me. Almost every character acted and thought like a total idiot, especially the heroine, Shauna. At first, I tried to make an excuse for her that she lost her memory in a car accident so she couldn't be sure whether who was telling her the truth or not. But when she began to find the way to steal other people's memories and then realized the serious trouble she was already in, she still made many wrong decisions and did many stupid things that I don't know what to think about this woman anymore. She is one of the stupidest heroines I've ever read! In my opinion, the only possible thing in this book was the bad guys' dirty money laundering route. Aside from that, I didn't believe anything that happened in this story! Nothing at all! **Spoiler alert! Shauna's car accident set up was implausible. How could the villains know that she would do as they expected? What if she didn't go straight home? What if she didn't change the lane? What if she slowed down her car? Miguel, the hero, denied talking to Shauna twice. He thought she would be safe as long as she knew nothing. Seriously? He thought her staying in the same house with a man who tried to kill her was ok? Or her being surrounded by the people whom she believed were her friends, but in fact, wanted her dead, was a good idea too? Nah, I don't think so. What the hell was wrong with this man's brain?! Arrrgghhhh! Another thing that pissed me off about this book was Shauna's father. According to the story, he'd been a good father and loved her until her mother died after giving birth to her brother. He said it was God's fault but he seemed to blame her for her mother's death. Was he serious?! And I thought this was stupid enough...but no, I was wrong. It wasn't over yet… Then he took his newborn son home and intentionally left his seven-year-old daughter at the hospital alone. Yes, alone. WTH! At this point, I literally had steam coming out of my ears! And you know what? Since then, he'd poured all his love into his son and stopped caring about Shauna, like she had nothing to do with him and wasn't his concern anymore. Was this a joke??? Urrrgh!!! Even though there was a happy ending, it was too little too late. I didn't care! This book left me with so many unanswered questions...Such a waste of time! I wish I never read this book. Enough said!

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-18 00:00:00 S. Bune Dekker is a master at psychological thrillers and this one is no exception. The story flowed well and I liked the result of the Dekker Healy team effort in writing this book. I loved the twists and how I wasn't really sure who was on whose side as the story progressed. The ending was perfect. There was even a touch of romance. This is one of my favorite Dekker reads. Bravo to the authors for writing a fast paced story with believable intrigue and plenty of tricks for the mind's pleasure! The spiritual content was gratifying (though mild) as well.
