Description: Writing as Mina Hardy, New York Times bestselling author Megan Hart delivers a thrilling new psychological suspense for fans of The Woman in the Window and When the Lights Go Out.
She's lost her best friend, her husband--and possibly, her mind.
Five months ago, an accident left Diana Sparrow badly injured and missing a few months of her memory. As if that's not enough, she's started having recurring nightmares about the night of the accident. Dreams that feel so real, she's left questioning: maybe she didn't just slide off the road into a ditch. Maybe, just maybe, she hit something. Or someone.
She can't turn to her former best friend Val, who's been sleeping with Diana's husband Jonathan for months, but she might find some comfort in newcomer Cole Pelham. Yet the closer they become, the more Diana begins to wonder what really happened that night--and how Cole might be connected. Worse, it seems everyone else could be involved, too.
Who was with her that night? What really happened? As her life unravels thread by thread and the dreams become too real to ignore, Diana will have to face the unthinkable--and do the unforgivable.
My Thoughts: This was a real page turner of a suspense novel that centers on a woman recovering from a horrific car accident suffering from amnesia and nightmares that leaves her wondering just who she can trust. Her mother in law appears at first glance as a loving and caring nurturing type who only wants to help, which is necessary because when both of your collarbones are broken, even the simplest tasks like washing your hair is nearly impossible. The nurturing, caring façade quickly starts to feel clingy and obsessive. The husband and the best friend are sleeping together and not everything is as it appears. I even began to wonder who in this story I could trust.
As Diana begins to regain her memories and learns some shocking truths about her mother, best friend and husband, survival becomes her priority. This story shocked me on so many levels beginning with the revelation that Diana knows her husband and her best friend are having an affair and when the layers start getting peeled back, more surprises and shock ensues.
I thought Diana and Cole were good characters, easy to relate to but not sure about their relationship and whether Cole could be trusted at first. The story moves at a very good pace, keeping me engaged in the plot without getting too mired in irrelevant details.
My Final Verdict: I highly recommend this story to fans of the suspense or domestic thriller genres and also to readers who like to be surprised by unexpected twists in the plot that leave the reader’s pulse pounding.
