Publisher's Summary

2024 The Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence - Best Juvenile or YA Crime Book, Nominated

Their lives are a lie. Their memories may not be real. A new young adult psychological thriller by #1 NYT bestselling author, Kelley Armstrong.

Blythe and her friends — Gabrielle, and brother and sister Tucker and Tanya — have always been a tight friend group, attending a local high school and falling in and out of love with each other. But an act of violence has caused a rift between Blythe and Tucker . . . and unexpected bursts of aggression and disturbing nightmares have started to become more frequent in their lives.

The strange happenings culminate in a shocking event at school: Gabrielle is found covered in blood in front of their deceased principal, with no memory of what happened.

Cracks in their friendship, as well as in their own memories, start appearing, threatening to expose long-forgotten secrets which could change the group’s lives forever. How can Blythe and her friends trust each other when they can’t even trust their own memories?

good story line

Loved the story but the narrator not so much, the voices for some of the characters where not a good fit and that made it harder to follow the story line.

Good. Interesting. Enjoyable.

I really enjoy this author. On her Facebook, she warned that this book is not like many of her other books. rather, she said it was more of a horror story.

Having read it, I would say that it fits in the young adult / thriller genre. I mentioned this since Audible did not do a great job of categorizing it.

I found the book easy to get through. I finished it within a day. the story was interesting.

I liked the narrator in general, and she has a bit of a lisp, which might be irritating for some people. the reason I didn't find it irritating was because I felt that it fit the young adult character.

If you are a fan of Kelley Armstrong, you will probably like this book. if you enjoy young adult novels that are page turners, and suspenseful, you will probably enjoy this.

I almost didn't get the book because the author said that it was more of a horror story, and I don't really like horror stories. however, I did not find it to be horrifying in the traditional ways. but I mean is there wasn't a huge amount of gore, and the violence was appropriate to the story.

I recommend this novel for a diverting read.

Meh

Really disliked the narrator. Made the main characters sound so dull and emotionless, says it’s a horror but it isn’t. Mystery was decent but storyline was messy.

Needs different voice

The changing of voice was distracting. I miss the voice from Rockton stories. This one needs a different voice actor.

Voice actor detracted from story

Easy listen except for the voice actor
Neat story, characters felt under developed in comparison to her other books. The voice actor was not a good fit, I felt annoyed by a few of the voices used. And it took away from the story. If your looking for a story line that offers interesting concepts based around teens lives and you can deal with the reader- it’s a great listen .

Couldn’t Finish

Story seemed to be okay, but I just couldn’t listen to the narrator any longer. Got 5 hours in and had to quit. The story seemed okay from what I heard
