Addison is still uncomfortable in her new life, as her insecurities about her forgotten past are predominant in her mind. Flashbacks of terrible images leave her terrified of what secrets her past holds and what sort of things she might have been capable of.

Cassandra had left everything behind including all her id, wallet, and personal belonging when she disappeared further adding to the mystery. Julian is desperate to find her and bring her home where she belongs.

Blythe Oliver is concerned about Addison’s past before amnesia struck and fears for the fallout when and if Addison’s memory is restored. Bent on a mission to find the truth, Blythe hires a private investigator to delve into her future daughter in laws past before it’s too late.

Liv Constantine does an excellent job weaving these characters’ stories together with the reader wondering who Addison really is and what do her flashbacks really mean? With 5 parts and an epilogue written about the year after Addisons’s memory is restored, each part is addictive and suspense filled. Liv Constantine is amazing at creating each character’s perspective and alternative between them all in such a way that makes it easy for the reader to follow.
