This is a great read that definitely had me racing through the pages.
An absolutely addictive, compelling and gripping true page turner!!!
The writing is terrific, and kept me interested the entire time.
The riveting suspense had me losing track of time. I love how a book can keep you alert and completely lost in the story.

Thomas & Mercer,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I will post my review to my platforms, blog, B&N and Waterstone closer to pub date.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

Okay, since this is not my usual cup of tea I am reviewing and rating this strictly for how well the author wrote this, which was superb. While I found myself zoning out alot with all the science and backstory, this still was an extremely well written book. With all the detail and research the author clearly did for this, it had me wondering if this could possibly ever become a reality which makes it beyond scary. The overall story was amazing and the ending exceptional. I give this four solid stars.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from Thomas & Mercer and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.


Suspense, intrigue, a fast paced thriller!

I really, really enjoyed reading this book. It was creepy in all the right places and kept me hooked the whole time!

Erin Flanagan has written a sensational psychological thriller story that is thought provoking, suspenseful and terrifying. Maris Heilman, a sociology professor and recovering alcoholic, starts having blackouts that do not originate from her past alcoholism. When it is discovered that other women are also having mind and memory blackouts that are unexplainable, Maris and her friends start investigating the phenomenon. The novel has twists and surprises, sadness and joy that finally lead to a climatic ending. Accolades to Erin Flanagan and her team for a novel worthy of five (5) stars

It's so easy to lose yourself in unnecessarily superfluous writing, caught by the premise that it'd be a "psychological thriller" which came across as "utter bore" instead.

There's a lot of waffling on the pages and my mind just lost interest.

I never learnt what caused the blackouts, mainly because I myself blacked out reading this!

I'm a huge fan of Flanagan's, so I was eagerly anticipating this new book. And wow, did she deliver! This book has it all: timely topics, authentic characters, and a plotline that keeps the reader engaged from the first page. I'm not one to reveal spoilers, but please note that if you're looking for a fantastic, thought-provoking read that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this one is for you.
