At The Edge Of Her Memory

Lately I have been kind of addicted to download and read e-books offered free in Amazon and the first part of this story also happen to be one of them. As I have already read the author’s many other books I was not at all hesitant to try this out.

I would rather not start the summary of the books by taking the protagonist’s name. in the first part of the story she was called as “The Girl” as unfortunately the story starts with an incident where she was attacked and wakes up at a Hospital named Paradise Cove only to find that she has lost her memory due to the damages been done on her head. Day by day while she is recovering, she had to go under several sessions of Hypnosis to look into her past and learn what happened to her. Dr. Hamilton who is in-charge of her goes above and beyond to make her recovery fast and comfortable. The story flows in between the past and the present until “The Girl” realizes who she is really and what happened to her.

I was often curious about Hypnosis and was thrilled to read this story because of it. I believe the psychologist, Dr. Larsten also played a vital role in the book and she was very supportive and kindhearted. Dr. Hamilton was always too sweet with his actions and I didn’t want any more hints to understand that he was having special feelings towards the girl rather than what is between a patient and a doctor.

The character of “the girl” is developed well. The trauma she undergoes after waking up with no past memory and all the difficulties and dilemma she was undergoing was nicely expressed throughout the book. The first book stops with a good cliffhanger which would automatically urge the reader to grab the 2^nd book of the series. Unlike most of Sandra’s erotic and romance fictions, this story had very less intimate encounters and the plot was much more woven around a forgotten past and a serial killer connected to it. It was a good change for all the fans of the author to read something of a suspense and thriller, other than the usual erotic encounter.

However, its not that the story lacked romance completely. It was garnished with a sweet love budding between the patient and the doctor. Climax was fast paced and quite intense. After all the sweet romance I was first met with the uncertainly when Adam appeared in the novel and it turned out to be a rather horrific encounter by the minute. Finally I’m glad that all of us readers could enjoy a happy ending.

The story has a good plot and I feel it would have come out as a much better novel had it been inclusive of much more character developments and few incidents in detail. I would rate it 4 stars and would recommend it to anybody who love to read short novels of suspense with a hint of romance.
