Wow and wow. The “amnesia” twist at the beginning of this story works very well. Emma cannot remember who she is, and has no idea who or why someone would be attempting to kill her. As the story progresses, the clues seemed to narrow down to a couple of suspects, and the reader is kept guessing. The ending is suspenseful, tense, and somewhat surprising. I liked the team of Emma and Liam. They worked together well to solve the crime, and their romance did not diminish the intensity of the story. The pacing of this story is perfect, and Sheri Shackelford hit it out of the park with this one.

I'm such a fan of amnesia story and Killer Amnesia was a well-written one! I liked how it wasn't obvious (at least to me) who the killer was and even though I probably could have guessed it, I didn't, which was fun.

Emma was a good main character. I felt bad for her and how difficult it was to NOT remember what had happened to her. The flashbacks were written very well and I could feel her pain from trying to remember.

The romance was okay. I felt like it was a bit sudden, but I guess with the book only being 224 pages it needed to move quickly.

All in all, I really enjoyed Killer Amnesia and recommend it.

Deputy Liam McCourt responds to a nearby call, and finds a young woman who has been run off the road. After taking her to emergent care, she is diagnosed with amnesia.



Emma Lyons doesn't remember who she is, and the more she and Liam try to retrace her steps the greater the danger is, as it leads them to a killer who is determined to end their investigation.



Liam bounced around a lot as a child, but found stability in his faith. He is a steady rock for Emma to lean on during everything, with losing her memory and trying to recall what she had found out that made someone want her gone. He had a troubled past, but getting to know Emma he wonders if a guy like him does have a chance at love.



Filled with tension and suspense, but there are also moments where this book breathes and has lighter moments as well. I like how both Emma and Liam rely on their faith to see them through. Emma is very brave and faces the unknown courageously. There are some great side character, both fun, and shady. Fantastic plot, with well developed characters, well-fleshed out background stories, and twists that took me by surprise. Highly recommend this fantastic suspense novel!

Emma was found nearly dead with no memory about herself of what even happened. Deputy Liam is on a mission to find out what happened and to protect Emma when its clear someone is still trying to silence her.

I loved a good mystery suspense book and this book was it for me. I loved seeing everything as it came to light, finding out who Emma was, and wondering just who was after her and why. Plus there is a bit of a romance with her and Liam since they are working closely together sometimes sparks fly and I enjoyed seeing that. Then there was the whole mystery surrounding why she got her amnesia or was attacked in the first place, wondering when the person might strike next, who it was and all that good mystery stuff I enjoy so much. Overall great book I loved it.

I loved "Killer Amnesia" by Sherri Shackleford. This book was hard to put down and kept me guessing until the very end. This was the first book I've read by Sherri Shackleford, but it won't be my last.

The book starts out with a woman who was in a car accident and ends up getting amnesia from that. The detective that rescues her tries to help her figure out who she is and who ran her off the road. It gets harder and harder for the detective to figure this mystery out and also trying to get the woman safe.

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy good, clean, suspenseful reads.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

What a suspenseful read! I loved every minute of it and could NOT put it down! I got so mad when I fell asleep 20 minutes to the end. Very fast paced and gripping all throughout the book!

"Killer Amnesia" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. I'm a little tired of suspense novels based around amnesia, but I decided to give this one a try anyway. Emma survives a potentially fatal hit-and-run but can't remember who was in the other vehicle or what true crime she was looking into for her next book. Who wants her dead? And not only is someone trying to kill her before her memory returns but that person is setting up her and the detective to take the blame for several murders.

The suspense came from trying to survive while uncovering whodunit and also from the detective potentially being called away to testify in court at any time. Emma was brave and knew some self-defense, but she also knew when she could use some help. The hero felt like he wasn't worthy of her trust because he'd previously let someone down who had depended on him. The main characters were engaging, and I cared about what happened to them. They both questioned why God sometimes doesn't step in to prevent suffering but learned to trust God when life felt out of control. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
