5 Mind Completely Fried Stars
This book totally messed with my head and left my brain frazzled, it is a total house of mirrors in words, it is Mr & Mrs Smith meets Alice in Wonderland on crack. The twists and turns, the who, what and why’s come at you on every page from the get go. It is a total conundrum of a read that keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing right up to the last chapter and even then you are left asking what the hell just happened here.
Plain Jane is a simple shop worker living a plain life full of routine and expectations all seamlessly managed by her perfect partner Dr Derek who she lives with along with their cat Binx. We learn Jane has no memory past the last three years which it seems is why Derek keeps her in a routine. A reasonable reason right, or is it?
A chance meeting with a man that thinks he knows Jane by the name of Samantha Barnes is all it takes to set her life off into a tailspin and pretty soon Jane’s life is anything but plain and routine. She begins to ask questions of Derek and who Samantha Barnes is, a simple Google search triggers memories that she can’t decipher and Derek’s answers just throw her into a bigger spin. Before you know we are all heading down that rabbit hole as you are pulled along in this story thinking right I have it now to realise that was another mirror ahead and you have to turn back again to try and work it out.
You have to keep sharp reading this story to fully understand the outcome because no one is who they seem to be or are they? I honestly don’t know how the author kept track while writing this story at it is an absolute maze. I have never been as thankful for an epilogue in my life as it was only after reading it that the pieces of this puzzle fell into place.
Tara Brown I thought is a new author to me until I met her recently and realised she has as a complicated persona as Jane and I had read her YA books under a different name but I have to say I love the writing under Tara Brown and I look forward to having my mind blown again in the next book as I’m sure it will be as twisted.
Blurb
Listen, listen to the wind and stone.
Listen, listen to the sounds of old.
Listen, listen as my hopes are drowned.
Listen, listen to the sounds that bullets make of blood and bones.
Where will you run today?
How will you ever get away?”
This is NOT a romance. This is a ride.
Blood and Bone
The hollow sound of a casing hitting the floor.
The clicking of heels walking in a misty alley.
The ability to tie a cherry stem with her tongue.
A haunting song no one else knows.
That's all that's left of Jane's memories.
What would you do if the life you lived was a lie, and everyone knew but you?
Where do you run when there is no one on your side?
Jane discovers that deep inside her mind there is a map.
What she doesn't know is that there is also a man who will do anything to get it.
But what he doesn't know is that Jane hasn't always been honest about the things she remembers.
There are paces inside of Jane that even she doesn't like to go.
What would you do if the secret you kept was the only thing keeping you alive?
But keeping it meant someone else had to die.
Don't miss out on the new dark read by Tara Brown!
