Pieces of a Life by Jewel E. Ann

5.0

Josie and Colten grew up together as neighbors, best friends, and sometimes more. But when Colten broke Josie’s heart after graduation, she swore she’d hate him forever.
Seventeen years later, Colten is suddenly back in Josie’s life. She is now a talented medical examiner, while he is a homicide detective in the same city. Just when things are starting to look up for the two of them, Josie has a near death experience, and then the visions begin.

There’s so much to love about this story. Alternating between Josie and Colten’s perspectives, from childhood memories to present day, their childhood friends to enemies to lovers is a wonderful story all on its own. Their relationship is long and complicated, but they are so perfect for each other. But then you add in the extra element of the unexplainable nightmares and visions, and things start to get a little creepy too! Romance and thrillers are my favorite two genres, but it is so hard to find an author who can combine the two so masterfully!

The only negative of this book is that it ends in a suspenseful cliffhanger and I have to wait for the next one to come out - I’m so glad it’s only a couple of weeks!

Pieces of Life releases on September 13th, and the sequel Memories of a Life releases September 27th! Special thanks to Valentine PR and Jewel E Ann for sharing an ARC with me in exchange for my honest review!
