It all started with the bereavement flowers with my name on them.


Not the best way to wake up, right? I work in a flower shop. I know a funeral arrangement when I see one.


I know a killer when I see one, too. And one is standing in my hospital room right now, straight behind the man who saved my life.


I can’t tell anyone the truth, because that’s the fastest way to really die. So I do the next best thing. I “lose” my memory.


I fake my amnesia.


Pretending not to remember a brutal attempted murder has its perks. The killer is backing down, spending less time around me, loosening the noose.


The less I claim to recall, the more my rescuer, Duff, works to help me “remember.” I hate lying to him.


But he doesn’t understand that my memory is dangerous. To me. And to him.


Fooling everyone isn’t easy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.


Except it’s starting to look like I’ve been fooling myself.


In more ways than one.


Read Book 1 in the newest series from USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine.


“…intrigue and dark humor on display in this thriller…”


While the immediate—and more compelling—tension in Raine’s (A Shameless Little Bet, 2018, etc.) heart-pumping series opener comes from Lily’s constant proximity to her would-be killer, the action takes place against a backdrop of secret government scandals.


Fortunately, Lily’s voice is captivating, wry, and tough enough to sell this thriller. The novel ends with a cliffhanger that startles, if only because readers will have become so attached to Lily.


— Kirkus Reviews

This was a great book that has you compelled to figure out the truth as you cheer for the heroine and her amazing will to survive. It is also a very sweet love story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This was definitely written different than anything I’ve ever read.

Lily is waking up from being in a coma for 14 months only to find the man who tried to kill her, on her security detail. So she fakes her amnesia to keep herself safe.

So this one reads as if you are Lily waking up from coma and going through all the hard steps in order to be able to speak and use your arms/legs again. She grows very close to Duff who becomes her personal security, but not close enough that she tells him her secret.

This book was so good and hard to put down. The end of the book had me yelling “WHAT!!” at the end. So.. ya.. second book is already started !

There are so many emotions in this story. Laughs, terror and sizzle too. I'm a fan of smart heroic women who still get up after the tears fall. Lily is really an inspiration. So is her author....on to book 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am at a complete loss for words
Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2020
I am at a complete loss for words. All I know for certain is that I need to know the rest of the story RIGHT NOW! These interlinked series all lead from one to the next, and when we reached the end of Jane’s story, I knew I wanted to know what happened to Lily. This book about the memories she’s hiding to prevent a killer from succeeding in ending her life sucked me in. It’s now hours after I should have been sound asleep, and yet the story is still spinning through my brain. I was so desperate to know how it ended I couldn’t put the book down. After seeing where it ends, I’m pretty desperate to get my hands on the next book.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!
Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2019
Wow! What a great start to the trilogy...

As always, this author delivers. While I don’t normally like trilogies (having to wait for the next book), this author’s novels are an exception. It’s easy to get into the story & I just have to read the whole thing without stopping.

This book was fast paced, & I loved that it was about Lily, who we met in the Shameless series. She is a strong lady who ends up having to deal with how she had been shot in the head & knowing that she can’t speak freely about what she knows...

Amazing!

I read this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Very frustrating....as there is no conclusion. You have to purchase the next two books in the series...and even then, there is no real conclusion. Sorry...Waste of my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super suspenseful

Meli Raine does it again. She does it over and over again. Just when you think the story is over...you find out..there is WAY more going on. This trilogy takes place after the Shameless trilogy. You could start with this book but to get all the ins and outs of this completely story line, I would personally recommend starting with the Harmless Trilogy, then Shameless, then this one. You won't be sorry you did and you will catch all the nuances that this book throws in throughout the story. Lily lived a really happy life. She had a great spirit that just sucked you into her vortex and made you smile and learn to enjoy life yourself...if only just a little bit. Lily's only fault is having a remarkable resemblance to who we know as the most hated person in the country. And she pays for it in spades. Now she must try not only to rebuild her body and her life but hide the fact that she knows who tried to change her life irrevocably. This one ends on a doozy of a cliffhanger that had me begging for the next book (in my head of course). If romantic suspense (and a slow easy burn) is your thing, you will absolutely love Meli Raine AND this book.

First and foremost, it's not a standalone book. And there are no parallel stories. So the ending of the book is like that of a chapter. But the story is quite exciting and engaging.

This book has it all attempted murder leaves the main character in a coma for 14months. Being shot in her hard at close range the mystery why? Then the security team to keep her safe, but it is one of the security men that she saw in the mirror just before she was shot. You are constantly changing your mind you see her struggle to get better only to be scared to share the knowledge of her attacker. It keeps you reading and wanting more .

This book was well-written, spellbinding and nerve-racking! The plot was engrossing. I did find that a couple of times characters were mentioned in the middle of a scene who had not been mentioned at all and I was left wondering who that person was. I also found some of the language offensive. Still, I found the book entertaining. Warning: Major cliffhanger at the end!
