This book was an amazing mind bending experience! The Narration is impeccable and draws you right in to the story.

Great book, it has some more pg13 moments but a great thriller nonetheless. Thank you to netgalley for an advanced reading copy. Very much appreciated

I will review this in detail as soon as I finish reading it. I cannot guarantee that I will finish by the time the book is archived

This is a super fast paced thriller that was hard to put down. The secrets and trying to figure out what was going on kept me reading (or really listening, since I had the audiobook). The narrators did a fantastic job with the story and I really enjoyed listening. All of that being said though, I didn't really like or connect with any of the characters and I have read the whole short term memory loss story so many times, and this one didn't add much to that storyline. Overall it wasn't a great book but it wasn't a bad one either.

This is one of these books that I was excited to read. A psychological thriller about a woman questioning everything about her life after an accident leaves her without her memory of the last few months. From the beginning to the end, the novel drags on, and all the characters are unlikeable. I struggled to slog through the story, and couldn’t find anything positive to say about the book.
The story mainly follows Diana as she’s attempting to put the mystery of her life back together after a car crash has left her without her memories of the last few months. She’s utterly reliant on her mother-in-law as she recovers and can’t turn to her husband or former best friend, as they are having an affair behind her back. Diana feels like she’s losing her mind as she’s plagued by nightmares and consumed by isolation.
The entire story was unnecessarily dramatic, and all the characters display constant acts and thoughts of selfishness, jealously, and pettiness. The whole novel reminded me of a bad soap opera rather than a psychological suspense story. I like to find something positive in everything I read, even if I dislike it, but the characters, plot, and conclusion all fell short, and I was just really just happy to be done with it.

This book is crazy and I mean that in the very best way! The inventive plot had me guessing the whole time. I took off a star because the mother-in-law character is SO effectively annoying that I had to speed up the playback of the audio anytime the action focused on her, which was a lot. My jaw started hurting from all the teeth-gritting I was doing -- that's how much I hated her. This plot twists and turns and keeps you guessing, and the final reveal was a jaw dropping full-on WTF moment for me. So delightfully, horrifyingly twisted! If you love Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen, check this book out next.

After All I’ve Done by Mina Hardy was definitely a twisty, suspenseful read! I thought I had it all figured out but it kept me guessing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape media for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.

I was first drawn to the beautiful cover and then the great synopsis. However, the story was hard to get into and I didn’t finish reading it. Not finishing the book was haunting me and I decided to try the audiobook. For some reason, it all came together for me. Amazing, shocking, and a total must listen. Loved it!

All I can say is WOW! A great suspense with lots of twists and turns. I did not see the ending coming!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. #NetGalley #AfterAllIveDone

This book was absolutely AMAZING! I finished it in one day. I could not stop reading it. Diana Sparrow was recently in a car accident and has two broken collar bones. She was diagnosed with a type of amnesia and has lost 6 months of memory. We follow her while she is trying to put her missing memories together. Let me tell you, I was consistently trying to figure out what was going on, I honestly couldn't even have GUESSED at the ending and what was going on in her life. family, infidelity, lies, psychiatric issues... There were so many twists and turns in this book and I am so glad I selected it!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a wild ride! Although one part was predictable for me, the big twist was bonkers! It’s told in the first person with viewpoints from three characters: Diana, her best friend Val, and Cole. We start with Diana, who five months out from a car accident, is suffering from anesthesia-induced amnesia and is trying to figure out just what happened the night of the accident. We soon find out that Diana’s best friend is sleeping with her husband, Jonathan, and seems to have cut Diana out of her life because of it. Through a series of past and present narratives, the full story behind the accident, the reason for the rift between Val and Diana’s friendship, and this mysterious stranger, Cole. On top of that Jonathan and his mother also seem to be sketchy. In this story, everyone is hiding something and the ending is intense and very fucked up. A fun and quick read.

I initially thought I knew where this was going... but it took a sharp turn right at the end that I did not see coming!
We follow our main character Diana who suffers from amnesia after a car accident as she tries to piece together the last few months of her life. She keeps having a nightmare that leaves her feeling that there's something more to the accident than what she's been told.
I loved this story! It really grabs your attention from the beginning and keeps you interested all the way to the end. I could not pinpoint who to trust in this. Every character had an underlying motive and the more things were revealed the less I thought I knew how things would turn out.
But I did not see that ending coming!
Would totally recommend!

Thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy of the audiobook version of After All I've Done in exchange for an honest review.

After All I've Done takes a while to get into the meat of its plot but once it does, it's a wild ride. That being said, I do think the beginning could have been paced faster to better fit with the pacing at the end. I get wanting to establish characters, but neither I nor most of even the most glowing reviews on this found any of the perspective characters to be likable, developed characters so I don't think so much time needed to be spent establishing them. This is the kind of drama-mystery you don't read hoping everyone'll be okay, it's the kind you read to revel in the messiness of it all. The twist was a little too foreshadowed, especially considering how the tight cast really limits twist-villain potentials, but since there were so many overt clues towards what was really going on, you (or at least, I) end up not reading into a lot of the more subtle clues and it was really interesting to see the characters go back and make a lot of observations about the little things you missed.

This one is hard to review. The writing was overdone... just a lot of unnecessary info/events happening. Like another reviewer said, you don't need 4 paragraphs to pour a glass of wine. I absolutely hated all the characters. Diana's audiobook narrator is really annoying -- she uses what seems like a fake posh voice? HOWEVER, the story is good and makes this a page-turner, and the twist is absolutely audacious and original as far as I know. Three stars from me because, even with all the negative stuff I'm saying here, I did enjoy it.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of the ARC.

Unreliable narrator ✔️
Unlikeable characters ✔️
An ending you don't see coming ✔️

I went into this one knowing absolutely nothing, per usual, so I'm gonna write my review as if you are also. It's my favorite way to read thrillers and it pays off.

I listened to the audiobook version and I really didn't like any of the 3 narrators, truth be told. I most especially disliked the narrator for Diana, she just sounded high and not with it the entire time. I get that the character was unreliable, but I feel like the narrator was trying too hard to make you feel that. The other two just fell totally flat for me. I really wish I'd read this one, but I liked the storyline so much, that I continued listening. That says a lot for me. Usually if I don't like the narrator, I'm done lol.

If you like fast paced thrillers with unreliable narrators, messy characters, and a 'wtf' at the end, you'll probably like After All I've Done.

This was a solid 3.5 stars, but I'm giving it 4 because I feel it would've been a 4 star if I'd read the book myself.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape audio for my ALC in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Well, that was a disturbing ending that I didn't see coming! One of those rare conclusions that we hardly get with thrillers. This one came out in paperback in November, and I finally got around to reading it. I really enjoyed listening to this through netgalleys new audiobook reviews - it seems to be the only way I can get through books these days. A psychological suspense novel about a woman with amnesia after a car accident leaves her with two broken collarbones. So many great twists, unexpected scenarios, and a super unsettling conclusion.

What makes this book different from all others? And why should anyone care? That ending!!! Oh my goodness. Never in a million years would I have guessed they were related.

I really enjoyed this book!

The alternating perspectives and narrators kept my interest, though the female narrator was a little cold and sometimes made it sound less genuine.

The plot kept me guessing and was surprising, though it honestly was pretty far fetched and a little gross. Even so, I would definitely read more from this author.

Description from NetGalley...
“She's lost her best friend, her husband--and possibly, her mind. Five months ago, an accident left Diana Sparrow badly injured and missing a few months of her memory. As if that's not enough, she's started having recurring nightmares about the night of the accident. Dreams that feel so real, she's left questioning: maybe she didn't just slide off the road into a ditch. Maybe, just maybe, she hit something. Or someone.

She can't turn to her former best friend Val, who's been sleeping with Diana's husband Jonathan for months, but she might find some comfort in newcomer Cole Pelham. Yet the closer they become, the more Diana begins to wonder what really happened that night--and how Cole might be connected. Worse, it seems everyone else could be involved, too.

Who was with her that night? What really happened? As her life unravels thread by thread and the dreams become too real to ignore, Diana will have to face the unthinkable--and do the unforgivable.”

My thoughts...
I think it would have been better if I read the book. I found the narrating bland, and it was hard to keep my interest. As a book, this could be a page-turner. The story was a psychological thriller centering on a woman who lost her memory after an accident. But sometimes the storyline got confusing because of her flashbacks and current life, it needed a bit more structure. I didn’t enjoy the first three-quarters. It felt long and repetitive. The last quarter and the ending was good.

This book had some crazy twists! At first, it seems like this is a story about a woman who's lost her memory in an accident and is trying to heal from physical and mental wounds. Her husband is cheating with her former best friend and things just aren't going well in general. Then strange things start to happen. Diana doesn't remember drinking but there's an empty wine bottle, things go missing then appear again later, the thermostat goes between boiling hot and freezing cold. Diana isn't sure if she's losing her mind or if something darker is happening.

A few things happened that I definitely wasn't expecting and they changed the whole plot. Some things seemed obvious but then we'd have a reveal and everything would flip. I liked how this played out and it definitely kept me interested. I also liked that there were a few points of view and they were narrated by different people so it was easy to tell who was talking.

I received this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was outstanding. The main character is one you learn to love but also memories of her past confuse who we know her to be now. The people in her life leave much to be desired and what is revealed is shocking but really solidified the hunches of something just not being quite right. I found myself drawn in, shocked, and horrified!
