I think the best way to sum up my thoughts is to say that it was gripping but not memorable. In the way that it was well-developed but not shocking enough for this kind of plot - this is, after all, a very popular scenario, in the tradition of Agatha Christie, where you are basically given all the suspects and only need to figure out their backstories to guess what happened.

But I liked it. I will look out for more from D.E. White.

Big thanks to NetGalley for the copy in exchange for my honest review.

A good mystery thriller about a missing girl that held my interest throughout. The book was well written and the characters interesting especially Ava Cole who has returned from her stint as a detective with the LAPD . A story of twists and turns That is fast paced and addictive making it a quick read and very enjoyable. I can recommend this if you enjoy mystery thrillers.
My thanks to NetGalley and HQ Digital for a chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this book, I thought it perfectly captured the small town feel of a secluded Welsh valley and the kids growing up there.The drug taking and games were a bit disturbing and so was the central theme of the book.It was interesting to see the characters as grown ups and to try and unpick the web that had been weaved.I went completely the wrong way in my thinking as I am sure I was meant to, I did cotton on to the true culprit eventually,but really wasn't sure until all was revealed.I like to be kept guessing and this book did that.It was a tense and exciting book to read ,and I thought it was great.Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for an ARC.

Remember Me by D.E. White is a thriller about a missing girl. Ava a police detective returns to her home town when she hears that her ex husband is dying and to reconnect with her son that she has not seen since he was a small child.
Not all of her old friends and acquaintances as happy about this because of an incident when they were young that resulted in one of their friends going missing.
Ava starts to receive cryptic messages and texts, and fears for her safety.
I enjoyed parts of this story but guessed the identity of the malicious messages early on.
I would like to thank NetGalley and HQ Digital for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

A very well writen murder mystery, that leaves the reader trying to solve who the killer is through out the book. I guessed it early on, but still liked the twists that the author provided. It took me too long to get a hold of the storyline and want to keep reading it. I struggled with character development.

I found myself really enjoying the idea behind Remember Me. The author had a very specific idea in mind when writing. However, I do not feel that it was executed as well as it could have been. That isn't to say that I did not like the book, I did! I just felt that it could have been written a little better. Ultimately, it was engaging and took the reader on a interesting journey.

Eight kids went into the woods one night, but only seven came out. Trying to unravel the truth of what happened that night was interesting. There were a few twists and a lot of finger pointing. I felt that I figured out the "bad guy" about halfway through and was correct. The main characters were decently memorable, but I felt there could have been a little more backstory on them. Thankfully, with so many main and supporting characters, they were easily distinguishable. A few parts felt rushed or sloppily done between characters. However, I understand not wanting to make the book long and drawn out.

Overall, I did enjoy this book and would recommend it to friends who like crime and mystery.

Such a wonderfully written, gripping story with exciting twists and turns. There were some slow moments, but I recommend this book. It’s a fantastic read!

Ava Cole is a successful detective with the LAPD but she's no longer in Los Angeles; she's returned to her childhood home in Wales at the request of her ex-husband but not everyone is pleased to see her. Ghosts from her past including that of a friend who disappeared, and a son she doesn't know, combine with other stressors to make her trip difficult and that's before the unexpected and potentially dangerous things begin to happen!

This is a good story; I think the reader is expected to work out 'whodunit' before Ava, which increases your involvement in her and her friends' danger. It was a pleasure to read about a police officer who tells people where she's going and what her suspicions are. This book proves it is still possible to read an exciting crime novel without all the unrealistic cloak and dagger stuff.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this novel thanks to Netgalley in exchange for an unbiased review and recommend it for anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller with its origins in the past.

Fifteen years ago Ellen Smith vanished from the woods near her small Welsh village. Never to be seen again. Eight people were in the woods that night: eight splintered lives, eight people hiding a terrible secret. But who can remember the truth?

Now, Ellen’s best friend, Detective Ava Cole is all grown up back in the village where it all began, and everyone is asking the same question.
What really happened to Ellen?

Filled with shocking discoveries and traumatic memories this fast paced thriller is perfect for fans of Friend Request and Close to Home.
I loved Friend Request, so when I saw that Remember Me was being comparied to it I had to read it. I'm so glad I did, Remember Me didn't not disappoint!

Thank you #Netgalley for the ARC of #RememberMe

This was an interesting crime mystery but I didn't really get absorbed into it. I didn't find the characters compelling and felt the pace was a little slow.

A new author to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the characters. I found it easy to follow, not what I would call a gripping page turner but nevertheless an interesting read.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
