Spotlight: BUILT TO BE FORGOTTEN by Alison Faiella

 

Book Summary:

Sarah Hudson’s ordinary evening becomes a nightmare when she’s snatched from a bus stop by something far more sinister than a stranger. She awakens in a sterile facility, Bright Horizons, with memories of her family already slipping away. But one certainty remains: She doesn’t belong here.

Detective Harris’s cold case is heating up. His search for a missing woman leads to Bright Horizons, and its enigmatic Director, Anna Cline, a woman whose conscience may cost her everything.

Lurking in the hallways is Michael Greene. Once a brilliant researcher, now something darker. He’s been waiting, watching, and will stop at nothing to keep Bright Horizons horrors buried.

As Sarah fights to escape, Harris and Anna race to expose the truth before Michael silences them all. Permanently.

In a world where forgetting is the greatest danger, how far would you go to remember?

For fans of The Silent Patient, and Gone Girl, this relentlessly gripping psychological thriller will leave you questioning the frailty of identity and the terrifying power of those who control our memories.

BLURB:

 

For Gabby Patterson, a dedicated, but sometimes obsessive, cross-country runner, junior year is her time to shine. She has to start thinking about tomorrow: the future college recruiters and scholarship offers. But today means beating her impossibly skinny rivals any way she can.

 

Then eerie encounters in the woods and a cute secretive guy with the same quirky musical tastes interfere in Gabby’s plans. Sweet CJ is connected to the forest mystery… and to what’s happening to Gabby. But hard truths aren’t that easy to run from…

Excerpt Two:

 

I shoulder my way through the crowd and circle around to the last aisle, perusing the stack of CDs under the ‘Just In’ banner. A nineties’ grunge tune hums from the store’s speakers. Leaning against the bins, I draw out a nineties’ alternative rock CD—I can’t believe Larry got this in—and flip it over in my hand.

 

Someone starts to hum a familiar tune, but not just a familiar tune, one of my favorite from the sixties and uncharacteristically, I start to sing along. Out loud. I mean, it’s one of my favorites. Asha and I have done karaoke to this countless times at Angelo’s. In an empty room. Well, if you don’t count Liam. But I can’t help myself and soon I’m into it.

 

The person stops humming and starts to sing with me.

 

My heart pounds. Clamping my lips together, I grip the CD in my hand and peek through my lashes.

 

Across the table, a guy in a faded blue t-shirt and khaki shorts sings as he nods his head from side to side, his thick mane of blond hair concealing his face. A few inches shorter than me, he lifts his chin and pushes the hair out of his eyes. A smile plays across his lips. “Aww, why’d you stop? You were awesome. We make a great duet.”
