Synopsis: After a car accident puts Shauna McAllister in a coma and wipes out six months of her memory, she returns to her childhood home to recover, but her arrival is fraught with confusion. Her estranged father, a senator bidding on the White House, and her abusive stepmother blame Shauna for the tragedy, which has left her beloved brother severely brain damaged. Leaning on Wayne Spade, a forgotten but hopeful lover who stays by her side, Shauna tries to sort out what happened that night by jarring her memory to life. Instead, she acquires a mysterious mental ability that will either lead her to truth or get her killed by the people trying to hide it. In this blind game of cat and mouse that stares even the darkest memories in the face, Shauna is sure of only one thing: if she remembers, she dies.Specs: Adult fiction, mystery/paranormal, published January 2009, 322 pages.
Yes, I realize I'm posting three book reviews in one day! :) And that's because I forget (aka: procrastinate) to write reviews after I finish books, so they pile up on me.
Kiss did not get me involved at all, not like most of Dekker's books (like Three). When I read the synopsis, this book sounded so cool. A woman who can steal people's memories by touching them? Sounds like a good storyline to me!...But not so much after I started reading it.
Without giving too much away, I didn't like the money business. I basically know nothing about money, so that side of this book really confused me, which is unfortunate since that's part of the mystery.
But I did get through it without throwing it down and saying "I'm not reading this anymore!" which is saying something, because I don't continue to read books I don't like.
