Before I go to sleep by S. J. Watson

Product DetailsImagine waking up one morning in bed with a strange man, in a strange house, with no memory of how you got here. Every day this is the way Christine wakes up. The man patiently explains he is her husband Ben; she was in a terrible accident and lost her memory. Every day he tells her the story; every night she forgets it when she goes to sleep. She is told there is nothing else  they can do for her; her memory will never improve.

But something is different now; Christine has been contacted by a doctor who wants to work with her; he thinks he may be able to help her. He suggests she begin writing a journal; every night before she goes to sleep, she writes down everything that has happened to her that day. Every morning Dr. Nash calls her and tells her where to look to find her journal, and tells her to read it. Gradually, Christine begins to have flashes of memory. However, she also finds that Ben is lying to her. Is he lying to keep her from experiencing her painful past over and over every day, as he claims, or is it something else? Can Ben be trusted?

Very suspenseful.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn


Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is a crazy,  suspenseful, emotional roller coaster ride. It is mostly based in Carthage, Missouri. On their 5th anniversary, Nick finds out that his wife Amy has gone missing. Of course the husband did it, correct? Yes? No? Maybe? You find out more than you would ever want to on the psyche of the couple, and you hope these types of people do not exist! I have never felt so much emotion (mainly anger) for a book before. I will wait for the movie to come out on DVD before I see it.
I read this book as an audio book.
Narrator: Mare Trevathan and Erik Sandvold
Time: 17 hours, 55 minutes
ISBN: 9780307588364
Pages (Per ISBN connected with the book used to create audio book):432

"Rocky" by Bianca D'Arc

Maggie's husband,Tony, was killed eight months ago, and she's on the verge of giving birth to their twins.  She's been running from the evil entity that killed him and finally arrives at the home of Rocky, her and Tony's longtime friend, for help in delivering her babies and hiding them.  She's come to the right place - Rocky's been in love with her forever, and he's the same type of shifter as Tony - a bear. 

This was a quick read that held my attention with an unusual storyline.  I'd never read anything in which newborn babies shifted into bear cubs!  I might go back and read the other stories in the series.  179 pages (Kindle edition).

Sail by James Patterson and Howard Roughan


Katherine Dunne has the brilliant idea to take some time off from work and go on a sailing expedition with her children to try and bring this dysfunctional family back together. Little does she know that the adventure might wind up blasting them apart - literally.  

If you are looking for something with great depth of character and psychological insight, this isn't it. But, if you are looking for a fast-paced novel designed to entertain and intrigue the reader, this is a good one. 414 pages.
