Lest She Forget
by Lisa Malice
Virtual Book Tour
Haunted by a forgotten past. Hunted by a ruthless killer. No one to save her but herself.
After surviving a car crash, Kay Smith wakes from a coma with amnesia, a battered face, and no one to vouch for her identity. Her psychiatrist is convinced that her memory loss is connected to the horrific flashbacks and nightmares haunting her. As she digs for clues to her past, Kay uncovers a shady character following her every inquiry. Who is he? And what does he want from her?
As Kay’s probes deepen, she realizes that everyone around her has deadly secrets to hide—even her. Emerging memories, guilty suspicions, and headline-screaming murders push Kay to come out of the shadows and choose: will she perpetuate a horrendous lie or risk her life to uncover the truth?

I often pride myself on being able to dissect a thriller/suspense/mystery novel early on as I get into the plot. That’s why the psychological aspect really amps up my excitement over a book. If I had been shopping in a bookstore, this book would’ve grabbed my attention simply based on the cover. When you glance it, you see one layer. But look a little closer and you’ll see the layers. It’s a fantastic omen to the storyline!
Kay Smith wakes up and everything seems askew. She’s not even positive that this is her name and the vibes of everyone around her is causing unease. Because of her uncertainty, I began feeling a connection to Kay. I wanted to protect her and prevent her from experiencing more trauma. Armed with her fake name and clues that aren’t adding up, Kay begins digging, exposing herself to more danger when her past collides with the present. Although the beginning seems a bit slow, as you hit mid-book, you’ll feel grateful for the journey as the bits and pieces fall into place. It also helps build the tension!
This is a fantastic psychological thriller! I felt my chest tighten and my breathing increase exponentially over and over again. I questioned every character, their motives, and actions. No one was safe from my scrutiny. If you want to give your psyche a workout, grab this book!
