Search - Black Out

This book is very entertaining and hard to put down from the first page. I have read beautiful lies and liked this author from the start, after reading this one I am even more impressed. This book does bounce back and forth between then and now and fantasies played out by the mind but it makes the ending so much better in doing so. This book emphasizes the power of the mind and reminds you that no one is innocent.

Throughout the book it is hard to figure out if the story is all a fantasy Annie's mind created to make itself whole again after events in her life were so tamatic that she is unable to accept them, or if the bizzar things happening to her are real. As a teen Ophlia, later known as Annie, moves to Florida with her mother who marries a mass murderer and rapist who is in prison. Marlowe, the murderer's son, becomes her instant stepbrother, lover and posessor. The story bounces back and forth between present and past memories and experiences. The story is very scarry and definitely a page turner. Annie is a very likeable character who you will want to come out whole in the end.

Very well written, will want to keep turning the pages on this one!

Annie died once as Ophelia and will have to die as Annie to protect her family and find the people who are searching for her.

Loved this book! It was better than Beautiful Lies. It will keep you turning pages well into the night. You just don't know who to trust or "who done it"....!

Excellent read. Full of suspense.
