Amnesia by Melissa Saulnier is jaw-dropping! Devouring this book felt like watching an episode of The Blacklist series; full of action and suspense. The author had a way of pulling me close to the characters and the tale. Her writing technique, the stylistic devices, and the choice of words were just on another level! That was what I appreciated most about this work. The vivid descriptions were something I enjoyed in this thriller. Instances of Lexi’s pretty green eyes and David’s blue eyes had me creating images of their physical looks in my mind. I enjoyed the author’s satire on some characters’ shortcomings and personalities.
We’re introduced to the cynical David Gabriel Lyons, who gave me butterflies right from the word go. He’s introduced as "a ghost the government used to raid terrorist cells and drug lords." I mean, who wouldn’t fear him? There’s Lexi, a mysterious character. I tried relating to her from the beginning, but she’s full of mystery, and her next actions are unprecedented. Still, she evoked deep emotions in me.
I encountered several acronyms whose meanings were not included. Moreover, I found repeated sentences that I found unnecessary. Those were the only things I dislike about this publication. I only detected a few grammatical errors; therefore, I can affirm the book is professionally edited.
The courage of David, an assassin and spy, falling in love with the emotionally sensitive Lexi was troubling; I kept worrying for the latter’s life. Even so, the world-building was masterfully done, and the surprises from the characters had me staying on my toes on every page. Consequently, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend it to readers who enjoy reading action-packed installments.
