What if we could permanently erase our most terrifying experiences from memory? Psychological thrillers are meant to manipulate our perceptions and mess with our minds, and this book does just that!
This is my first book by this German author, and despite some readers finding his writing style confusing and all over the place, I just loved it! This fast-paced, roller-coaster of a book gave me the rush and excitement that comes with reading a good thriller novel.
Having short chapters that end with a cliffhanger is brilliant. At no point was I confused with the story, and I actually enjoyed Fitzek's writing style, which is effortlessly engaging while still keeping the plot complex enough to keep the ending a mystery until the final page!
He has a remarkable talent for making you think you’ve figured out the twists, only to reveal just how mistaken you were!
Speaking of twists, I wish the ending had been less dramatic and more believable. This is my only issue with the book. I'm having a hard time accepting the conclusion of the main character's journey. After everything, the ending felt over the top. I’m struggling to understand a certain character's motives and why they went to such extremes to influence everything that happens with the main. Did they REALLY have to go through ALL that?
Read this if you love fast-paced psychological thrillers with intricate plots that will have you thinking long after you’ve finished. If you enjoy themes like reality versus illusion and trust versus deception, this book is a must-read.
