6.22.2022 - Stay Awake

 Stay Awake by Megan Goldin

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martins Press and MacMillan Audio for gifting me the latest thriller by Megan Goldin, wonderfully narrated by Imogen Church; January LaVoy - 5 twisty stars!

Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi that drops her off at her apartment, where there are strangers living.  She finds a knife in her pocket instead of her cellphone and all kinds of messages written on her arms and hands - mostly Stay Awake.  The last thing Liv remembers is living with her friend, Amy, dating Marco, happy at her publishing job.  But nothing is adding up - and Liv comes to realize that she is being searched for as a suspect in a murder.  

Told in different time periods from the voices of Liv and Detective Darcy Halliday, you will find yourself learning about Liv's past along with her.  This was so wonderfully written, engrossing and twisty that I could not put it down.  Go into this one as blind as possible to add to the intrigue.  The characters were wonderful - you'll find yourself scared as Liv is on the run.  I loved Halliday's character too - smart and confident in a man's world.  The narration was spot on - when I couldn't read it, I was listening to it.  Don't miss this one!
