What I found most interesting in this book, is that a helluva lot happens in quick succession, and yet it doesn't feel rushed. Similarly, there are periods when time moves on, and it doesn't feel like the authors had ran out of things to say so jumped to the next bit of action. It's very well written.
Forgotten starts with Eve waking up in a hospital, having been in some kind of accident. Outside waking for her are Jake, Betty and Crystal, who survived a whole year with Eve on a jungle island. Jake then gets taken to one side and informed that Eve has been arrested for murder. It's not long, however, before the tables have turned and it is Jake that gets imprisoned and the only person who can save him has lost her memory of the entire year.
The Blurb says:
It’s frightening to lose your memory. Even scarier is to forget what’s at stake.
Federal prosecutor Eve Eriksson disappears under mysterious circumstances and shows up a year later in a coma. What happened, and where has she been? She can’t remember, and her life is in jeopardy. Four people are hunting her down. Three claim to have been stranded on an island with her. The fourth is her old nemesis, Chicago drug lord Danny Romero, who still wants her dead.
Jake Chalmers is shocked to discover his fiancé is a federal prosecutor. Why did she hide this from him on the island, and who is going to such great lengths to prevent their reunion? If she doesn’t regain her memory, he’ll be thrown into prison for murder.
I really liked this book, and couldn't put it down. There is such a lot going on (and it spans several years), but as I said before, it does not feel rushed, rather the passage of time is natural. The topics within this book include survival, murder, human trafficking, spies, revenge, justice, forgiveness, love and probably more too. It is packed.
Definitely one to read if you have a few hours spare!
