Disturbed by Jennifer Jaynes
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

Thanks to author Jennifer Jaynes and publisher Thomas & Mercer, as well as NetGalley for the ebook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Five years ago on Halloween night, Amy Harris and Christine Douglas were brutally stabbed to death and Chelsea Dutton was severely injured and left for dead.
She was found in her apartments bathtub barely holding on to life.
Chelsea’s memory has pieces missing still from that night and her past. Ever since the Springfield Coed Killings she has tried to move past the nightmares and move forward with her life.
She has since moved to Boston and lives a rather secluded life. She works from home as a medical transcriptionist.
The only person that Chelsea has been able to trust is Elizabeth, whom was a nurse that she had met after the killings. And now Chelsea hasn’t been able to shake the fear that her attacker is out there somewhere and is trying to finish what was started. First, she starts receiving disturbing messages and is now starting to feel like her every move is being watched. She reports these messages to the police, and the message gets back to Detective Lang, he was the one that had found Chelsea barely alive in the bathtub.
Will Detective Lang be able to figure out what is going on and be able to keep Chelsea alive before the killer finishes what was started?

WOW! What a book! This book kept me wanting to read right from the beginning. There was not a slow part in this book. The characters came together very well, and the book was well written. The whole book itself was just mind blowing, especially the ending. It was an excellent psychological thriller. I highly recommend reading this book. I give it a rating of 5 stars.
I have never been let down by one of Jennifer’s novels!

I've read several books by this author, and this was another one I really enjoyed. It's a fast-paced psychological thriller, I read it in one sitting. Once again I thought I had everything all figured out, but nope!

Chelsea has been living, barely, a very reclusive life since being the sole survivor of the gruesome murders of her roommates while she was in college. Thankfully she has her lifeline and only friend, Elizabeth to help her cope with the aftereffects and memory loss of the horrifying event.

When Chelsea has the chance to reconnect with another person who was tied to that tragedy 5 years ago, she also discovers an opportunity to open her heart again. At the same time, Chelsea starts to receive mysterious messages that seem like they could only come from the killer – the fugitive Ethan. Chelsea's rescuer, retired Detective Robert Lang, comes back into the picture to try and find out what's behind the messages, and may have a chance to be Chelsea's savior again.

As Chelsea gets drawn down a path that could bring back her memory, she needs to decide where to lay her trust and maybe her life.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in return for my honest opinion.
