OMG – my jaw is on the floor! [b:You Will Remember Me|55004543|You Will Remember Me|Hannah Mary McKinnon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1606175293l/55004543._SY75_.jpg|85724757] by [a:Hannah Mary McKinnon|15144570|Hannah Mary McKinnon|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1459630381p2/15144570.jpg]is soo good. The writing is fabulous – the pages turn by themselves. The story is intense and it is told by three POV (love a multi-POV story) and the ending…well – you’ll just have to read it! I am so happy to have been a part of the @letstalkbookspromo book tour – thank you! I have never read a book by this author – and now I am a fan!

Synopsis
As I mentioned there are three POV’s – one is Jack who wakes up, beaten, on a highway with no memory of who he is and starts a trek back to his home – but it is not his current home; second is Lily, his girlfriend – frantic to find him and doesn’t know he’s left the area and has a hard time finding him because -well – she finds out she actually doesn’t really know anything about him; and third is his step-sister Maya – whose love for her step-brother is intense – to say the least.
How do they all come together? Wow – without telling you too much, the author has created a fascinating mystery that includes amnesia and the attempts to recover memories, mysteries of unexplained deaths, love stories and more. It is dark, twisty and crazy. And the ending? Well, you have to read it to now why I am pretty much speechless. Tons of intrigue here.

My take
So – it was great. I usually have so much more to say – but I can’t because I don’t want to give anything away – that’s why you need to read this! I’ll need to read more books by this author!

Hannah as usual doesn’t fail to disappoint. This should be on everyone’s summer reading list for thrillers! I was on my toes till the end! Thanks Harper Collins Canada for the ARC! Cannot wait to discuss this in the book group!

Somewhat predictable except for the ending which I still have mixed feelings about...

I demolished this book in one sitting!

A man wakes up bloodied on a beach, he doesn’t remember who he is or where he is from.

A woman’s life is in shambles as her perfect life has come undone.

Another woman is thrilled to reunited with her long lost brother.

All of these people are not who they seem to be!

This book was fast paced and twisty, and although there was a point where I knew where it was going, it was still well executed enough that I was fine going along for the ride. The writing reminded me of Gillian Flynn, but I think that’s because of perfectly executed, calculating female character! For the sake of spoilers I will not elaborate, but this one is worth the read.

Hannah Mary McKinnon just gets better and better, and You Will Remember Me is notably her best mystery thriller yet! That creepy, ominous cover suits perfectly!

A man wakes up on a beach with a cut on his head not knowing who he is or why he’s there.

Lily’s boyfriend, Jack, goes missing one night. She uncovers that he’s been lying to her all along, and he’s not who he says he is.

Maya’s stepbrother, Asher, disappeared years ago, but now he’s returned with significant memory problems.

All of these stories connect, but probably not in the way you expect. Twists and turns abound, and especially one BIG twist was completely unexpected. There are likable AND unlikable characters you will love to hate. You Will Remember Me is a dark wild tale that wraps up in a deeply satisfying finale! Well-done, Hannah Mary McKinnon!

I received a gifted copy.

I'd like to thank the author, publisher and Net Galley for providing a free e-book ARC of this book in exchange for my review.

I don't usually enjoy newer thrillers. Many times, they aren't really thrilling to me. I'm usually very disappointed. This one, however, was a very nice surprise!

I'm not a fan of the multiple POV story line, and it did distract me from reading and really enjoying the book, so I'm going to go with a 3 star rating (rounded down from 3.5). The changing POV combined with the fact that I hated every single character distracted me, but overall, this is one of the highest ratings I've given a thriller in the past 5 years. I will check out other titles by this author for sure.

Hannah Mary McKinnon’s You Will Remember Me is yet another unputdownable read from an author who gets better with each book. What begins with a case of amnesia twists with each new discovery as McKinnon slowly and methodically unravels the layers of secrets and deceit. A gripping, chilling thriller that held me captive until the shocking end.

A man wakes on the beach- no memories. He sees a trailer with Maine plates - goes in and passes out.
Lily wakes up- no word from her boyfriend Jack. He fails to show for their plans. After a year and a half of dating, Lily knows something is wrong. She finds his truck at the beach - but no sign of Jack.
The man wakes in Maine, a phone number running through his mind. He dials it. And so it begins.
Maya, Jack's stepsister takes him home, determined to help Jack recover his memories.
What I loved best - Maya's craziness isn't held back. That ending had me gasping out loud.
Fast paced. Excellent characters. Predictable but holy crap. Read it.
