This was a complicated book for me. Early on in the story I wanted to DNF it yet there was something about it that made me want to know what happened. So I stuck it out…I’m still not to sure how I feel about it.
Lisa has gone through a lot of tragedy’s in her life including loosing her husband and being robbed. This lead to a deep depression. She decides to participate in a brain chip trial. She could either get a chip that “cures” her depression or has no effects at all and that was the risk. She goes for it. She believes her chip has healed her depression upon awakening. However, now she receiving images of a murder that has taken place.
Her mother comes to her to help her discover who was murdered, and who the murder was. This way Lisa is free of these flashbacks. As they collect the information they have to decided if these flash backs are of the past or pictures of the future. They have to decided how either of these are possible sense the company says she has a chip that did nothing for her.
I very much enjoyed that Lisa and her mother was able to spend time together and heal their relationship. I think more mother/daughter relationship are like theirs so it was beautiful to see them address that.
However, the faith was very little and it just felt like the over all theme was putting trust in the chip and not Jesus. There’s is a moment in the book that is touched on but by then it felt a little late.
However, this book was different and there where twist and turns. I’m definitely interested in giving this authors other books a try!

this was a well written book, but not my cup of tea....
Cinched it - never having brain surgery or participating in a clinical trial.

This book was amazing!!! There was a huge plot twist at the end, along with other plot twists throughout the novel, and they were all so beautifully done! There were a couple parts in the book that dealt with the main characters stance/relationship with God, that I feel like could have been left out but they weren't overwhelming like in some books. The book was written so good and it had me on the edge of my seat! 10/10 would recommend you read!!

DNF for me ... interesting enough idea, but the writing just felt unnatural and stilted to me. Then there was the whole "God is good, and this is his plan" and ... I'm just not into all the God stuff in my novels. I had noticed this labeled as Christian fiction by some, so I was coming in with some trepidation. After the first big "God" I pushed through, but then when it came again, I just figured it was going to be recurring, too much so for me, especially as I wasn't really even enjoying the storyline. I made it to Chapter 14 before calling it quits.

Fast paced, sometimes chaotic thriller. Lisa is a mess! I found parts to be pretty cheesy and didn't care for the random God inserts. If you want to make a Christian novel make it! Don't just throw the thoughts around once in awhile. She talks about her faith in the beginning after her first surgery. It is then hardly mentioned from there on. THEN it is heavily emphasized towards the end again. It didn't feel right or sincere. This was a quick, easy read, but better directed to the teen/young adult genre.

An epub format book that I downloaded from my library's digital website, so I couldn't read it on my Kindle, just read it on my iPad. I've read a few other books by this author, and as is typical of those I have read, this one was very hard to put down. Good suspense, good storyline, it really sucked me in and it made it hard to put the book down. A plot that really appealed to me, sort of like a tv show or movie we would like to watch. The ending was a bit of a fizzle, not quite what I expected, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the book. I'll definitely continue to read more from this author when I can find a good deal or library download.

This wasn't my favorite Collins book but it was still good. I couldn't imagine going through what she went through and the ending was okay. Would have liked it to end with knowing the outcome of the person who committed the crime.
