At first I thought this was not going to be much chop but the other book ended up being 2 stars and this one 3, so I guess I was pleasantly surprised. I bought this book at the same time as I bought Not What it Seems and started reading them simultaneously. I laughed at that but who knows, maybe this is a thing with amnesia. Also, Chris remembers random things like guest china at his ex boyfriend’s place. I suppose there could be an explanation later on as to why this could be the case but you have to draw a long bow yourself, the author doesn’t do it. I’m no expert here but I was thinking a couple of weeks after a gunshot wound to your head and you’re out of hospital? Doing regular things? It seemed like a stretch. Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t, but the cover sold me on it, the blurb helped.Ĭhris has a gunshot wound to the head but within weeks is out of the hospital. I can’t say I’m a devotee of the amnesia trope, I can’t remember – oh, the irony – having read any books with an MC who has amnesia. This was more of a breath inhaling cringe. I’m reading another book at the moment and the humour works for me, I’m laughing out loud as I read. There are so many lines pulled from old-school movies and some songs. Chris, Chrysalis is his given name, mostly lives at the intersection of Corny Corner and Unbelievable Street. There are some unpalatable things mentioned but never explored and they are never impactful. The promise versus the reality are completely different things though. Then the blurb gave me more, it danced around the periphery of edginess which is my crack – edgy, dark, action, clandestine, dare I say it… morally ambiguous. It begged me to pick it up and trust the visceral journey. It sucked me in with its promises and whispers of dark things to come. At this stage I’d say it’s book cover of the year material. I want nothing more than an honest future with Gray, but the past isn’t about to let me go without a fight.įortunately, I’m starting to realize that fighting is my specialty.įirst of all, look at that cover. The more I learn about myself, the less I want to know.
My life is a tangled mess of lies and deceit. I console myself that at least I’ve reached rock bottom and things can’t get worse…until they do. He assures me that I’m imagining the distance between us, but I know better. Grayson Laurie has always been my kryptonite, and it would take more than a bullet to the brain to forget him. I learn that the hard way when I wake up in the hospital, my memory practically wiped. Tags: Some Action, Second Chances, Series Book #1Ī gunshot to the head is bad enough.
