From start to finish, the audio experience was a captivating journey into a narrative that skillfully blended unfamiliar beliefs with a compelling plot. While some aspects were initially puzzling due to these unfamiliar beliefs, they served to pique my curiosity and draw me further into the story's world.

Throughout the twists and turns of the plot, each revelation added depth and complexity, keeping me engaged and eager to uncover more. However, it was the final twist that truly caught me by surprise, completely reshaping my understanding of the narrative and leaving me in awe of its clever execution.

Despite the occasional challenge of deciphering unfamiliar beliefs, the journey was undeniably rewarding. It prompted me to reflect on my own perspectives and encouraged me to explore new ways of thinking.

The storytelling was masterful, seamlessly blending mystery, intrigue, and philosophical depth. Its impact lingered long after the audio had ended, leaving me contemplating the themes and ideas it presented. Overall, it was an enriching and thought-provoking experience that I highly recommend.

Well, this book went in an unexpected direction, but I was here for it! I was completely engaged by the premise, and when it took that turn, I was a little put off, but I stuck with it and surprisingly enjoyed it.

I loved the suspense and the fast pace of the story.. The surroundings were so atmospheric and picturesque that I could see myself there. The audio was also excellent. #carolinehewitt brought life to characters and truly elevated the story.

Michel Bussi characterization was wonderful, delving into the psyche of Maddi, and showing the unique bond of a mother, but also the pain of losing that child. This makes her vulnerable to believe even the impossible.
The topics of reincarnation and doppelgängers were really interesting, but you most certainly will have to suspend beliefs to enjoy the book fully.

Overall, I think the author has mastered the art of storytelling and how to craft a gripping mystery. He makes the impossible, possible by adding an inner dimension, a touch of mythology and fantasy making the book unputdownable.

Thank you to the author snd Netgally for the arc. Review was voluntary.

Nothing Can Erase You had such an interesting premise for me and I jumped on it right away. I was so invested and really enjoying it, but then it started being way too heavy on the supernatural aspect and that truly just ruined the story for me. I rarely get into thrillers with the supernatural aspect, and this one fell flat for me unfortunately.

This is an interesting twist of suspense, supernatural and phycological thriller. It was a slow start but the ending had me hooked

A well-told story, but too heavy on the supernatural for me.

Premise - after a mother’s 10 year old son disappears one summer at the beach. 10 years later, she spots a near identical child at the same beach and becomes obsessed with the impossible idea that it’s her reincarnated son.

I spent sooo much of this book worrying the mystery would be solved by deus ex machina, and fortunately it wasn’t, but all the ‘ghost’ stuff wasn’t satisfactorily explained to me and felt like a plot hole. You also have to believe in doppelgängers for a big part of the book to work… and, again, that was unsatisfying when so much of the premise is that the similarities aren’t just a coincidence.

The boys also felt misaged to me, which was distracting when a significant part of the book revolves around them. They’re 10, but they act and think more like 5-7 year olds?

The writing itself is great. I enjoyed the style, the development of the setting in a charming bit of Europe, and the Clouseau style character (who honestly deserves his own book, he’s a gem). I overall enjoyed the read, so it’s 3, but I’d only recommend it with all the caveats listed above.

Thanks, NetGalley and Amazon Crossing, for the gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.
