Black Out

De: Lisa Unger

Narrado por: Elizabeth Kaye

The exciting new stand-alone thriller by the New York Times best-selling author Lisa Unger.

A gripping story of a young woman who escapes her dangerous past by pronouncing herself dead, until the person she fears the most discovers she's alive and well and comes after her and her young daughter.

Annie Powers lives a happy, pampered life in a wealthy Florida suburb with a husband who loves her fiercely and a beautiful young daughter named Victory. But that happiness suddenly starts to fade when Annie feels the demons of her past creeping up on her. It's a past that she can't even recall due to a highly dissociative state that allowed her to forget the tragic and violent episodes of her earlier life as Ophelia March and to start again as a completely new Annie Powers, under the loving and protective eye of her husband, Gray. Recent disturbing events - the appearance of a familiar dark figure on the beach, the mysterious murder of her psychologist - trigger strange and confusing memories for Annie. She now realizes she has to quickly piece them together before her past comes to claim her and Victory.

A Good Thriller

Has a twisty plot - keeps you guessing.

Another enjoyable Lisa Unger book

This book shares a similar style to Unger's Ridley Jones books. It was slightly confusing at times with the non-linear narrative, I think this wouldn't have been the case if it was in print. I did feel the 'is she, isn't she' part at the end went on a little too long. The relationship with her daughter seemed very authentic. Overall entertaining read. I don't know why Bolinda didn't edit the narrator a little better, they are usually very good, could hear a lot of background noise in the pauses which kind of broke the fourth wall for me if you get what I mean. I would recommend the book as light entertainment, Unger's writing has improved since Beautiful Lies and A Sliver of Truth.
