Synopsis

“Wickedly smart, devious as hell, and lightning fast.” -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author

“A suspenseful and disturbing sci-fi thriller about the interweaving nature of trauma, memory, and identity.”—Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author

In this claustrophobic science fiction thriller, a woman begins to doubt her own sanity and reality itself when she undergoes a dangerous experiment.

The Ganymede facility is a fresh start. At least that's what Senna tells herself when she arrives to take part in a cutting-edge scientific treatment in which participants have traumatic memories erased.

And Senna has reasons for wanting to escape her past.

But almost as soon as the treatment begins, Senna finds more than just her traumatic memories disappearing. She hardly recognizes her new life or herself. Even though the cure might justify the side effects of the process, Senna knows that something isn't right. As the side effects worsen, she will need to band together with the other participants to unravel the mystery of her present and save her future.

Goodreads review by J (Midnight Book Blog) on February 14, 2023

If someone told you they could take away your worst memories, would you let them? Plot: While I think this book had all of the makings of an interesting read (developed sci-fi world, new and interesting technology, different and intriguing characters) something about it fell flat, and I think that's......more

Goodreads review by Elena on October 24, 2022

Stars: 3.5 out of 5 This was an interesting read and it went in a different direction than I expected. What would you do to get rid of the memories of the most traumatic events that haunt you? What would you do to never have to remember then again? Would that make your life easier? Better? Would tha......more

Goodreads review by Denise on August 26, 2021

Futuristic dystopian science fiction starts off with an excellent premise but unlikable characters, predictable outcomes, and the usual tropes made it a disappointment after all. Want to get rid of some nasty memories? If you're lucky, you might be selected for an experimental memory erasing technolo......more

Goodreads review by Sara on September 25, 2021

This book should have been a movie; my rating probably would have doubled. My imagination can't grasp floating lilac and lavender with soft white hues of half orbs propelled in the air...but I did read the whole thing. Meh.......more
