Publisher's summary

The Bourne Identity meets Divergent in this action-packed debut thriller with a Katniss-esque heroine fighting to regain her memories and stay alive, set against a dystopian hospital background.

Sarah starts a crazy battle for her life within the walls of her hospital-turned-prison when a procedure to eliminate her memory goes awry and she starts to remember snatches of her past. Was she an urban terrorist or vigilante? Has the procedure been her salvation or her destruction?

The answers lie trapped within her mind. To access them, she'll need the help of the teen computer hacker who's trying to bring the hospital down for his own reasons, and a pill that's blocked by an army of mercenary soldiers poised to eliminate her for good. If only she knew why...

Critic reviews

"This is a snap-the-whip story, dark and fast. The sparks of humor in the voice won me over. Bottom line: I think the cocktail of suspense and believable smart-assery adds up to an addictive dose of reader appeal." (Blythe Woolston, author of the William C. Morris Award winner The Freak Observer)

Good book but narration took a bit to get used to

Good, fast paced, great idea for a story. Villain was easy to not like, main characters were worth cheering for

Fun listen!

Great visual story and fantastic reading! Characters were not too perfect so very relatable. Would love to have a sequel or prequel!

Super book

This book exceeded my expectations. It was a book I did not want to stop listening to. The story had twists and turns that will keep you interested. The performance was great. Highly recommend this book.

Good start...

Good start to a series and I can't wait to see how these characters grow. The only problem is you don't carry the second book in the series. I need book # 2 already!

Ehhhgh?!

Enjoyable. Not really great. I wouldn't recommend it, except maybe to teens, or read it again. But it was ok.

It was entertaining

Plot ignored some common sense but I guess that would have ended it too soon. All in all I enjoyed the story.

Very fun, action-filled, but too quick read!

I think I bought this as a DailyDeal. W/a capital W, this book Was. Yes, I'm easy to please, needing good grammar and semi-plausible action. Ms. L-M delivers both with a secret former govt. lab, a nasty, amoral bad gal, and the underpriv'd heroine. I try to give little/none of the story if I'd recommend to friends & fam. Tabula Rasa qualifies easily.

He voice was hard to get use to but over all great

He voice was hard to get use to but over all great book. The story was good fight and tech and throw in a little questionable reality.
