I have to say that I was a bit surprised by Forget Me Now despite having read most of Alana Terry's Christian suspense novels. Not only did it have more of a psychological thriller element but in some ways it almost felt like a YA book for older teens. The heroine is a fairly typical teen who worries about the typical teen stuff, graduation in a few days, college acceptance, she and her boyfriend going to different colleges...and then her world falls apart in a very dramatic way.
I really liked the title, Forget Me Now, as it perfectly describes the book. Mia or 'Mimi' wakes up each morning having forgotten everything from the last 3 months. Over and over she has to deal with the trauma and grief of losing loved ones. You seriously have to feel for this girl, kid really, having to deal with the pain of loss and the danger from a killer whom she may be able to identify.
Alana Terry has done a great job telling a chilling thriller of a story in the voice of a teenager. She's still a kid but as the lies begin to unravel in her life she has to make some adult decisions, for faith and for justice. The only teensy negative I found while reading was that I had to pay very careful attention to the start of each chapter as parts of the story were in the present tense and some were flashbacks. A few times I had to skip back to the beginning of the chapter to figure out if it was a flashback or not.
If you are a fan of Alana Terry or if you want to introduce her books to a mid/older teen Forget Me Not would be the perfect choice. The book is fairly short, fast-paced, and for me it was a quick, but chilling, read. So, check it out....if you dare...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Forget Me Now by Alana Terry a 4.5 Bark rating.

My new novel, Forget Me Now, has all the favorite elements mentioned above, but includes a new psychological thriller element that I hope readers will love as much as I loved bringing it to them. This novel asks the question, “What would you do if you woke up to find three months of your memory entirely gone? Who would you turn to for answers during that confusing time … and how would you react if you began to question the ones you turned to for the truth? |
