”There are some books where you get to the end and you just have to take a deep breath before you can do anything. THIS is one of those books.”  Melanie - Melanie's Muses.

A terrible tragedy forced Alana McCarthy to forget a year of her life. Now she is to be executed for a crime she doesn't remember committing—the murder of her entire family. Lost and alone, Alana is terrified of unlocking secrets buried so deep inside her mind that she's willing to forget the one person who could set her free.

​Daniel Costello hasn't forgotten about Alana, and he will do anything and everything to protect the girl he loves. But first, Alana needs to unlock her memories and find out the truth about what happened the night her family was killed. The day of her execution is set. Together, will Alana and Daniel be able to uncover the truth behind her family's deaths before it's too late?

Why did I choose to read  this book:  
Shattered Memories had been sitting in my TBR list for awhile now. I hadn’t made myself pick it up yet but instead had let Mel’s warning get into my head. 

And Now To The Review!

First Impressions:
I really wish I hadn’t waited so long to read this. Susan first starts off with a little history lesson, which didn’t interest me to much but I was definitely glad was there as I continued reading. 

General Review
I always enjoy when a book has both person’s perspectives, so I loved going back and forth from Alana and Daniel’s as they go through their journeys to find out what happened to Alana and her family. It is hard to give a review without giving any spoilers but Susan had me hooked from beginning to end. 

Final Thoughts
The ending did have my jaw hanging but as most of us that have read Susan’s books will know she is the queen of cliffhangers. Even though this is a standalone that signature impact is still there!

Rating:
I definitely give this book a 5 star rating and if you still have this book sitting in your TBR list like I did then you should really go and grab it and start reading.
