What happened to Nora? One night, years ago, young Nora went missing with barely a clue. Her best friend Maddie was as perplexed as everyone else in their small town. And now, ten years later Nora’s sister Noelle goes missing in eerily similar circumstances.

Maddie is determined to figure out what happened to Nora as well as Noelle. I love an, old-fashioned “who done it” type of story and Forget Me Not by A.M. Taylor has all the elements of a good mystery: a town grieving for the sad deaths of two young girls, a woman in pain over losing her best friend, the setting of wintery Wisconsin, the brother of Nora and Noelle is standoffish towards Maddie, what is he hiding?

An awesome story!

When Maddie met Nora, their friendship felt as easy as breathing. And when Nora disappeared, all the air went with her. Without her best friend, Maddie’s life became impossible.

Ten years later, Nora is still missing and Maddie is still searching. People have been questioned. People have even been accused. But no one has managed to find Nora.

Then, in the same spot where Nora went missing, the murdered body of Nora’s little sister is found. Convinced this is no coincidence, Maddie resolves to uncover the killer and find Nora – dead or alive. But will she be able to cope, when we learn what really happened to Nora…?

Due out in October!

A story that kept me guessing until the end. I'm usually a person who can figure it out, at some point but this had me changing my mind a few times. There were a lot of twists and turns.

I did, at times, want to shake one of the main characters, Madeline "Mads" Fielder but it makes you understand that not everyone can deal with grief in the same way. However, with her determination, Mads is able to figure out everything. She does have several set-backs while trying to figure it all out.

I will definitely be looking for this title to add to my bookshelf, when it officially comes out. and definitely a book I will be recommending to my "thriller" friends! A solid 5 star read, for me.

It is the 10th anniversary of Nora Altman’s disappearance. Friends and family gather for a memorial. No one knows what happened to Nora. Seventeen-year-old Nora vanished, only leaving behind an abandoned car. In the small town, rumors ran wild, reporters tore apart families but in the end, there were no leads. Maddie was Nora’s best friend and never truly healed from losing her best friend. She is desperate for some closure. However, the opposite happens. The morning after the memorial, Nora’s sister Noelle is found dead at the exact same spot where Nora went missing. Now Maddie needs answers and has difficulty trusting anyone.

This mystery gets better and better as the pages turn. The reader never knows what to expect or who to trust. Everyone is a suspect. This makes for a great thriller. There are a few points where I believe there is a unnecessary information and serves no purpose to the plot. However, in regards to the main storyline, it kept me hooked from beginning to end!

Maddie’s character is written perfectly. She lost her best friend and at 17 that is like losing half of oneself. She feels empty and is never able to move on. She blames herself and the book really dives into how grief affects someone. She struggles with guilt and trusting everyone around her. I feel like everything Maddie experiences are how many people would feel if there were ever in this situation.

I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars! I really can’t wait to see more from this author and I would love to see this book made into a movie! I definitely recommend this read if you enjoy mystery or thrillers! You will never guess the ending!

Thank you Netgalley, A.M. Taylor and Harper Impulse and Killer Reads for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review!

It was,a good read. I'm giving it three stars even though I like the mystery of storyline some parts just gave me headache maybe because it's told in the first person and I like that in certain books this wasn't one of them even if I like the character of Maddie. Will I recommend this book yes because of the mystery of what happen to Nora ten years ago and then present day with her sister Noelle murder.

Thanks for the early review copy!

I recommend this novel to fans of mystery fiction. The plot was well-written. I mainly picked it because of the cover.

10 Stars!!
I just finished this and wow. This one made me cry. I have so much to say and not sure where to start.
The writing is amazing. A.M. Taylor has a way with words. I was highlighting everything just because it touched me so deeply. The words are raw and real and painful and so connected to the characters. Poetically emotionally if that’s a thing?
The whole plot had a “who killed Laura Palmer?” theme which I couldn’t enough of. But that ending...I only read psychological thrillers/mysteries/murder books, but this one went way past that. I was SO there. I could feel the cold Wisconsin snow on my face and I could feel the pain of 10 years without my (missing) best friend and I was there in the bar with everyone at a crowded table in a small town diner where no one knows who is guilty or grieving. I could smell the fries and cheese curds and hear the beer bottles on the tables each time someone took a sip and put it down ...but my heart could feel the loss and the suffocating airless bar along with Maddie.

I CRIED at the last 10 pages. I can’t say more than that. But this one got me. First book that made me cry. Thank you @A.MTaylor
So real. So raw. You made us love her too.

Thank you to #NetGalley, the publisher and author for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.
10 stars, but my stars are tear covered and I feel like I’m grieving the loss of a friend.

I received a free copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review. I liked the book, but it seemed a bit long. I felt like there was a lot of extraneous plot points that didn’t add to the overall plot of the book. The action scenes were very thrilling.

This book is really good. I knew who did it, but only because of the good writing, if that makes any sense? There was enough suspense and insinuation that I doubted if I was right in who I had pegged as the killer. This book is good. Really good. My only complaint is that you can tell if was written by a Brit not an American and that’s fine, except it’s taking place in Wisconsin where things like windscreen and car park and some of the sentence structures and wording just wouldn’t be used. Those details count to readers like me with a voracious appetite for good books, which this is, but with an unyielding standard for grammar and all the small details that can keep a good book from being a great book. I had an advanced copy of this book so hopefully good editors will comb over the stylistic variances from Brit speak to American lingo by the time this book is polished off and published officially.

Within the explosion of psychological thrillers there are some that stand out for me as a reader and Forget Me Not was one of those. I sank into it and read it over two involved sittings.

The mystery elements are strong, it is not immediately obvious which keeps things beautifully unexpected so that was great but not entirely what drew me to this one.

A M Taylor writes about a town in turmoil and a girl who can’t move on. Maddie is a brilliantly drawn and highly sympathetic character, showing us throughout the narrative just how much the loss of her closest friend has changed her and affected her future. When another member of the same family is murdered the intricacies of that are thrown into the mix, the “whodunit ” fades more as we are given a stunning portrayal of grief and loss.

It was descriptively emotive, digging into the issues and exploring how knowledge or lack thereof can alter us. That plus a very real need to know what happened to Nora, ignited in the reader by Maddie’s trauma makes this a real page turner and a highly addictive read.

When psychological thrillers properly explore the psychology as this one does, it really adds an edge to proceedings and makes the story stand above the rest. I loved Forget Me Not because it worked on many levels above and beyond the natural central theme so therefore it comes highly recommended from me.

Terrific writing, intelligent plotting and memorable characters. All you need.

Forget Me Not is an exciting, fast-paced psychological thriller. It's a strong debut for A.M. Taylor and set to be published next month.

What happened to Nora?
17-year-old Nora Altman disappeared seemingly without a trace, leaving her family and friends wondering about her fate. Ten years later, they're still searching. On the anniversary of her disappearance, tragedy rocks the Altman family again: their youngest daughter, Noelle, is found murdered just yards away from the spot where Nora was last seen.

The story is told through the eyes of Maddie Fielder, Nora's best friend. She's struggled with the sudden loss of Nora, her own guilt, and the lack of answers for a decade. When Noelle's body is discovered, Maddie needs to know if the sisters fates are related. She starts her own investigation into just what happened to the Altman sisters.

Taylor does a great job showing how loss and disappearances shape the people left behind. Nora's family and friends feel their loss two-fold - they mourn for their missing daughter and friend while holding out hope that she survived whatever took her from them. As a result, they're unable to lay her memory to rest and stuck in an emotional limbo.

Forget Me Not is a fast-paced page turner. There's a whole sub-plot involving a third possibly-missing girl that I think could be eliminated entirely without the plot suffering. My biggest gripe is that for a book with several red herrings, I thought the murderer's identity was fairly obvious. Part of what works with Forget Me Not is that there are multiple characters with motive for killing Nora. That should make for a compelling mystery. I'm not sure if it's an easy guess for fans used to the thriller genre or I just was really in tune with the book. Still, it's a satisfying ending for this solid debut novel.

Maddie is heartbroken and mystified when her best friend, Nora disappears. The car Nora was driving was found, locked on the side of the road and there were no signs of a struggle. Ten years later, Maddie is still looking for her friend when Nora’s little sister is found murdered in the same location Nora was last seen. Afraid to learn the truth, but even more afraid not to, Maddie works to uncover the truth. I like the first person narrative in this book, it puts readers right inside Maddie’s head and creates an atmosphere as thick as pea soup

Another Book That I Got Due To Its Cover.

I Went In Without Knowing A Single Thing About It. I Didn't Even Read The Description Of The Book. But Have To Say I Enjoyed The Ride. Three Stars For Me.

January 2008 - Seventeen year old Nora Altman drives off into the night in her father's car and disappears. The car is found in the early hours of the morning by the side of the highway, not far from her home in the small,isolated community of Forest view. The car is locked,the tank is empty and there are no signs of a struggle. The teenager has just disappeared.

January 2018 - Every year Nora`s family,friends and the community hold a memorial service in her honour. The day after the 10th anniversary of her disappearance,the body of Nora`s younger sister Noelle is discovered in the trees not far from the exact location where Nora`s car was discovered. The police and many others in the town refuse to accept that the two cases are connected but Nora`s best friend Maddie Fielder has spent ten years living with her guilt about her best friend's disappearance and is determined to uncover what really happened on that cold winters morning so many years ago.

Noelle`s killer is hiding in plain sight but is Nora dead or has she simply ran away and will Maddie be able to cope when she learns what really happened to Nora?

This gripping,character driven thriller is voiced entirely by Maddie from the first person perspective. The story is set mainly in the present day but inserted into some of the chapters are italicised segments that are set in the past that cover interactions between Maggie and Nora before she disappeared and the affects her disappearance had on Maggie,their families,friends and the community.There was extracts from articles in the papers that were written by a unscrupulous journalist who had made her name out of Nora`s disappearance and was now back stirring up trouble and causing the community to turn on each other. There was also comments,discussions and speculation about both cases that had been posted on a blog about Nora`s disappearance. Although I admired Maddie`s determination to uncover what had happened to her friend,I also struggled to like her at times especially in the sections set in the past where she came across as self centred,selfish and thoughtless. She seemed to have really loved her friend but was she more than she seemed. Why was she so desperate to uncover the truth? Did she know more about Nora`s disappearance that she was revealing and was just doing everything in her power to keep her own secrets from being uncovered? In Forest View,as in any small community everyone knew everyone else's business,you couldn't blow your nose without the news spreading like wildfire.The secondary characters who lived there were a mixed bag of vivid,realistic individuals, many of whom seemed a bit too eager to accept that Nora had simply just left of her own accord.

It's not a fast paced story but it does have some unexpected twists and turns,keeps you guessing and turning the pages desperately wanting to know what happened to Nora and who killed Noelle but at the same time not wanting the story to end. I really enjoyed this well written debut thriller and look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Maddie’s best friend Nora disappeared when she was 17 years old. Maddie’s life fell apart afterwards. Now on the 10 year anniversary of her disappearance friends and family get together to remember her. Noelle, Nora’s sister was 7 at the time of her disappearance. Noelles body is found at the same spot where Nora’s car was found, out of gas, 10 years ago. The town is filled with gossip and innuendos. The press is there looking for a story. Are the two cases connected?

This book is written in the first person, not my favorite, but I still enjoyed it. There are flashbacks to the past from Maddie’s perspective. There are also all sorts of secrets around Noras life that are just now coming to light. This book had plenty of twists to keep you interested. This was a good effort for a new writer. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.
