How could
Alex wash off the blood from her hands? How could she forget the feel of that
cold skin or those vacant eyes? How will she be able to erase the memory? Even
if it was self-defense, it was something she did and will never be able to take
back.
Lunged into
emotional turmoil, Alex attempts to live her life as a college student, but the
agonizing guilt would crush her over and over again. Then it all came to a sudden halt when she
realized the possibility that she was being watched. Spooky! But wait! What
world has she entered? Was she losing her mind? It seemed that our heroine has
fallen into some type of Twilight Zone that kick-starts her survival instincts.
What?
This story is
a wild ride through a jungle of military enforcements and dangerous land
mines. Who do you trust? How do you
differentiate what’s real? But, most importantly, how can you escape?
The
characters were so real that it felt like I was right there with them, lost in
a haze of confusion. At times, it was difficult to figure out what was going
on. I had an especially hard time figuring out the ‘why’ and ‘how.’ Why was
there a government conspiracy? How did Alex’s entire existence just vanish
without a trace? Like Alex, I felt…crazy!
What I liked
best about Alex was that she was a fighter. She refused to die, much less die
easily. I also enjoyed the wry humor
everyone had, especially for being stuck in the middle of nowhere while running
for your life.
The story
was separated into two segments: one as seen through eyes of Alex and one in
the POV of Ian, a conspiracy theorist. While Alex was running around trying to
piece together the details of her supposed life, Ian was working undercover to
blow government secrets out of the water. It almost felt like two distinct
stories in one. How would it all tie together?
But still the
question remained: What did they want with Alex? The perplexing tale just
beckoned you to read on.
A well-written,
gut-wrenching, high-flying mystery that will keep you on your toes!
My rating: 5 stars
