BLOGTOUR: Forget My Name - J.S. Monroe


About the book

You are outside your front door. There are strangers in your house. Then you realise... You can't remember your name.

She arrived at the train station after a difficult week at work. Her bag had been stolen, and with it, her identity. Her whole life was in there – passport, wallet, house key. When she tried to report the theft, she couldn't remember her own name. All she knew was her own address.
Now she's outside Tony and Laura's front door. She says she lives in their home. They say they have never met her before.
One of them is lying.


My Review:

‘Forget my Name’ is a fantastic, very well written, thriller that will keep you invested and on the edge of your seat. The books grabbed my attention from the very first chapter and didn’t let up at all.

The story line is very well thought out, and even though so much happens early on I didn’t think it felt rushed at all. The amnesia trope is always interesting, and I feel that in comparison to others I have read, Forget My Name is done in a fresh and gripping way.
The characters are all very interesting, I liked getting to know them – even when I was suspicious of them! It’s written from several points of view and I think this worked well. With other books I have felt confused by this (if not clearly indicated) but I didn’t get that here. If anything, it added to the tension and general confusion over what was going on.

I usually pride myself on being able to figure things out and I must admit I thought I had this all sussed out too, but I was kept on my toes with some good twists and turns. It had me doubting what I thought I knew, not trusting the people I originally had and this for me, makes a superb thriller.

I enjoyed this on a lazy Sunday afternoon, once I’d picked it up I didn’t put it down again until I’d finished!A first book from this author for me but I will look out for more in future.

Thank you to @HeadofZeus for the advanced copy of this book.
