  Thank you to Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review.     Ben has just finished and released his latest book, he finished in one weekend that he can't really remember but he knows something good didn't come out it.

Stay Awake by Megan Goldin

Image
  Thank you to Netgalley and St.Martin's for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Liv is confused, she doesn't know where is she or what is going on. When she returns to her apartment she is shocked to find new people living there and clearly have been there for awhile. All she knows is that she leaves messages for herself on her arms and hands. Stay Awake, Wake Up, Don't trust anyone.  Every time she fall asleep she can't remember anything. But she knows someone is coming for her, if only she can figure it out before he catches her. Usually I would say a lot more, but I am being vague because there is so much going on and this one is better if you read it and unfold it one layer at a time. I had no clue what I was getting into when I started this. Soon I couldn't even put it down. I had to know what was going with Liv, what had happened to her and what was happening to her now. There were so many things unveiled piece by piece in this book. It added to...

She is drawn deeper and deeper into a mystery that involves Tommy and several of his friends. What will she find out? What is really going on?
