Download Your Copy Forget Me Not (Summit Lake Thriller, #1) Imagined By Kristen Middleton Displayed As Kindle
Me Not is a crime thriller and the first in a series,
Amandas exhusband has died and left her everything, Considering they hadnt seen each other in years, this is a strange occurrence, but Amanda takes her son, Kevin, and off they head to Summit Lake where the house Brad has left her still stands.
Summit Lake is where Amanda grew up and her mom and stepfather live there, so itll be a good getaway for her, Kevin, and their dog, Lacey.
Not too long after arriving, Amanda starts receiving threatening letters and gifts meant to create fear, With no other leads, the police are unable to help, When the threats turn physical, Amanda knows she needs to figure out whats going on by herself or she could end up dead.
And when a startling revelation about her ex surfaces, more questions open up, But without answers for them
The book started with a hook, and as it moved on, I thought this was a great idea.
It could have been the whole way through too if it wasnt for some things in the story that didnt gel, There seemed to be a lot of info that the author wanted the reader to know which you would expect would add to the story/character and move it forward but that turned out to be info not needed.
Like a lot of backstory that didnt assist with the outcome or in specific circumstances,
Some of the physical feats were pretty impressive, even if pretty improbable, and as soon as an animal is hurt in a story, that gets my back up.
I didnt understand the need to get the garage sale going so quickly, how a recovering alcoholic was given a wine cooler to drink, why Amanda would dive into situations where it was obvious what was going to happen, and that one can just contact Russian gangsters that are to be found on Google.
spoiler alert ahead and attacker mentioned
And what I found very strange was why the killer waited so
long to exact the revenge.
For someone who was able to show up at the precise moment needed for so many attacks and get into so many places without being seen after having stalked Amanda, he seemed remarkably clueless on what had happened before especially with Kevins dad.
Plus considering the fact that he had a wife just about to give birth and she was with him all the time, how was he able to leave the house to attack Amanda at the times he did There were far too many coincidences and he was such a small character in the story to suddenly be the killer.
Im really disappointed as I felt sure this was going to be a great read, but I was let down by the story as well as errors in the book and quantification of speech he said/she said is not necessary every single time.
The ending also felt very rushed and I closed the book with no real feeling of resolution,
I found this book whilst it was on offer for free,
It's a really well written crime thriller and a great introduction to an author that, previously I wasn't aware of, I especially liked the slow reveal through the story about why the antagonist was targeting who he was, It helped explain how things had got to the point they were in the story, You'll pay for what you've done, . .
When a deranged lunatic starts targeting single mom, Amanda Schultz, with threatening letters and "presents" on her doorstep, she turns to the police, who offer advice but no real help.
At the mercy of a psychopath, Amanda realizes she's in a game of catandmouse, where the killer keeps changing the rules and the winner.

.O livro parte da premissa de que nem sempre conheces as pessoas que te são próximas e isto é também o elemento mais assustador.
Achei a narrativa muito consistente e o final mesmo surpreendente I admit to skipping ahead as this book just really dragged itself along.
Amazing from start to finish
So far Ive loved everything Ive read by this author and this book was no different.
I love that it kept you guessing until the very end! Such a good mystery book, Didn't want it to end! The opening of the book was dark and creepy, setting up promise of a story that would be filled with much of the same.
What it actually delivered was a bunch of chapters filled with unnecessary back story do I really need to know that every character went through a divorce and is rebuilding their life No and dialogue from a killer that watched too many revenge plots from straight to TV movies.
The "reveal" at the end was a cop out, no real lead up to the revelation of who the killer was because the culprit was barely introduced as a real character.
