Description
Carl moved into his childhood home after his parents died. It’s a house filled with fond memories…like when he was a teenager and his girlfriend Jesse would throw pebbles at his window at night to lure him outside for frantic sex. So he thinks he’s dreaming when late one night, he hears those pebbles hitting his window again…and there she is outside, aching for his touch. It’s only as they are ravaging each other again that he realizes it’s too good to be a dream.
It’s her. She’s back as if nothing has changed. But it has. For one thing, it’s been twenty years since high school. And she died three weeks ago.
Is she an imposter? A ghost? Or is the answer even more chilling? It’s just the beginning of a dangerous, unpredictable, and bizarre odyssey for them both…where nothing is what it seems… and every minute counts.

Advance Praise
"Part mystery, part adventure, with some of the elements of time travel perfectly blended with just the right amounts of romantic tension and humor, the fast-paced novel by veteran CHEERS writer Sutton is definitely a winner"
"Phoef Sutton has a wonderful and unique voice. This is a romantic tale, full of suspense and human emotion. It's also funny in its own special way. Once I started it, I couldn't stop"
"The hippest, most original novel of 2015 was written in 1998. But that's the least of the time-warping pleasures of FIFTEEN MINUTES TO LIVE, an invigoratingly original, hilariously thrilling novel about a woman caught in an endless, fifteen-minute loop of her teenage life, and the hapless TV writer who finds himself trapped with her...desperately trying to save her, and ultimately himself, from a horrific demise."
"When the one love you can never forget has forgotten everyone in the world but you it's both a soaring fantasy and heartbreaking tragedy. FIFTEEN MINUTES TO LIVE explores this completely unique relationship with tenderness, suspense, complexity, and depth. Treat yourself to a haunting romantic journey you will never forget."
"FIFTEEN MINUTES TO LIVE is a great read with great characters. Love and death and loss take on a new meaning when a woman's memory loss becomes her best defense against a killer. Grab a copy! You'll be glad you did!"

Fifteen Minutes to Live is one of the most intriguing books I've read this year. A fascinating story about a woman who's short-term memory issues prevent her from remembering any current event after 15 minutes - her long-term memory has her convinced she's still 18...
Well written plot that doesn't give anything away and keeps the reader guessing until the very end.

First of all, I have to say that I do not give books a five-star rating often. This book is definitely worth every one of those stars. My review can't do this book justice. I could not put it down!! After the first few pages I was hooked. Just when I thought 'oh okay, that's why he was acting like that', another twist around the corner. It will keep you guessing until the end. I absolutely, positively LOVED this book. I will search high and low for any/all books by him. Read this book and prepare to be amazed.

It's difficult to put 15 Minutes To Live in a particular genre. The best I can describe it is a combination mystery, romance, and comedy. Found myself laughing out loud more then once! Enjoyable read. I was given an early copy to review.

Wow! What a page-turner. This book has more twists and turns than Lombard Street in San Francisco. Carl has just had great sex with Jessica (his high-school girlfriend), but finds out she's supposedly been dead for weeks. Is he hallucinating or is she really alive? The main problem is that she's stuck being a 17-year-old girl in high school and has no memories other than that year. What happened in her life? Why did she suddenly show up on Carl's doorstep? Is she alive or is he going crazy??? This book is gripping and suspenseful. Keeps you guessing all the way and the ending will leave you wondering.

This was a book with lots of twists and turns. I would describe it as part thriller, part romance with some humor thrown in. But it was a definite interesting read. The author really threw some surprises into the story that I didn't see coming.
I liked the descriptive writing of the author. The words grabbed me from the beginning making me want to read more of the story. So it was a fairly quick read since the book isn't long and you'll want to find out what happens next.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers, this is a good one. I would recommend this book!
