Synopsis

Some things are better left forgotten . . . When a woman wakes up with amnesia beside a mountain highway, confused and alone, she fights to regain her identity, only to learn that her parents have disappeared—not long after her mother bought a winning $47 million lottery ticket. As her memories painfully resurface and the police uncover details of her parents’ mysterious disappearance, Cleo Li finds herself under increasing suspicion. Even with the unwavering support of her brother, she can’t quite reconcile her fears with reality or keep the harrowing nightmares at bay. As Cleo delves deeper for the truth, she cannot escape the nagging sense that maybe the person she should be afraid of...is herself.With jolting revelations and taut ambiguity, In the Dark We Forget vividly examines the complexities of family—and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive.

First, I have to say the cover is everything 😍. It is just gorgeous and it matches the book so well! This is a great thriller debut! It starts out with a 💥 with Cleo waking up with amnesia on the side of the road! It slowly builds up momentum but is a great psychological suspense/whodunnit mystery! I......more
