NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY - A COSMOPOLITAN NEW MUST-READ

Abbie awakens in a daze with no memory of who she is or how she landed in this unsettling condition. The man by her side claims to be her husband. He's a titan of the tech world, the founder of one of Silicon Valley's most innovative start-ups. He tells Abbie that she is a gifted artist, an avid surfer, a loving mother to their young son, and the perfect wife. He says she had a terrible accident five years ago and that, through a huge technological breakthrough, she has been brought back from the abyss.

She is a miracle of science.

But as Abbie pieces together memories of her marriage, she begins to question her husband's motives--and his version of events. Can she trust him when he says he wants them to be together forever? And what really happened to her, half a decade ago?

Beware the man who calls you . . .

Customer Reviews

Think "Stepford Wives" and science fiction

Not at all what I thought it would be like. After reading just a handful of pages, I immediately thought of the Stepford Wives. I was not going to read it -- in fact, skipped over several pages-- but it captured my interest, and soon I couldn't put it down. Many twists, dead ends; not believable at times but I had to keep reading. Not a criminal justice-type novel, which is what I usually gravitate towards, but yes, I found it very interesting

Suspense at Every Turn

Just when you think you’ve figured this book out, it twists again! Written in a combination of first, second, and third person, the writing style is phenomenal and greatly supports this thriller. Although it was occasionally hard to follow, this is still definitely a fantastic read; I could not put this book down.

Read it!!You won't regret it.

I read this book in just one day and I regret nothing. It was so well thought out, and I love JP's work. If you liked The Girl Before, you will enjoy this one as well. I was so enthralled I wanted to read more and more. I love it when I get into a good book like this one.

Hair raising

This story was a cross between a thriller and absolute horror

Twisted and surprising

Very much enjoyed this book. Not at all what I was expecting. Have read all of JP Delaney's books and will be the first to purchase the next one.
