This book has been on my to-read list for a while now as it sounded very interesting. It grabbed me from the tagline of a serial killer descendant and the amnesia storyline. Emily Jacobs wakes up in a small hidden town of Maine with no recollection of her past or her life. All she has is a letter explaining to her that she paid for her memory to be wiped and it to look like she has been killed in an accident. That's all good and well, but she is about to discover that she is being hunted by aI'm a fan of Tosca Lee's books. She writes amazing stories and I don't even have to know the synopsis of her new books because I'm sure I'm going to love it anyway. But when I read the synopsis for The Progeny, it just blown my mind. It sounded very different from her previous works, so I had very high expectations for this book.The beginning was a bit slow, but once the story continued, it was absolutely fast! I think the way it started made perfect sense because it helped me to understand the
NOOOOOO this book ends on one HELL of a cliffhanger. I want to cry because I don't think the next book in the series is out until next year...This book was SO frigging good. Descendants of Elizabeth Bathory the Blood Queen being hunted by descendants of her supposed victims. Secret societies, paranormal elements, and twist and turns galore. We are thrown into the action from the get go, and it just never lets up. Who to believe, who to trust. This book read like a Dan Brown novel. Beautifully
Audra Ellison, now Emily Porter, has had her mind wiped of all memories. She doesn't know why she voluntarily had her mind wiped, but she knows there was a reason. Moving on with her quiet life in Maine, Audra is adjusting to her new life. Meeting Luka at the local grocery store and then seeing a mysterious figure watching her has Audra becoming paranoid. Who can she trust? Has her past caught up to her?My Thoughts: There is so much in this book that is so hard to explain. The story centers
I received an ARC of The Progeny by Tosca Lee from NetGalley. This is no way influences my opinion on the book or this review.I didn't come to start over.I came to hide.Emily Porter has had her memory wipedvoluntarily. She can't remember anything about her life before, or even why she decided it was a good idea to forget everything. On top of not knowing the important whos, whats, whens, wheres, and whys about her life, the procedure has left her with a sketchy short-term memory as well. The
I received this as an ARC from Tosca Lee - she asked me to read it and perhaps give her a blurb for the book by early Feb. I was super busy, but the premise sounded really cool, so I made time for the book and was glad I did! There's lots going on in this book and there's lots of explanations in the beginning chapters so a reader really needs to pay attention - I think those who enjoy re-reading will pick up on more the second time through.Once the action starts, it doesn't stop and the
I must admit that Im a total sucker for anything that references Lady Bathory. Her history is mired in myth and legend and well never really know what happened. Hence, I hungrily devour anything that might provide either some insight, or some new false horror that I find to be downright gruesome. And because of that, entertaining.I wish I hadnt really bothered with this one. I cant even muster up enough energy to go through all the things I had issue with in this book, but the big one is
