Forgetting who you are, your ambitions, your passions is crippling….but remembering – embracing your purpose with a new sense of determination is more than empowering….it's life altering. Charlie Myers is on a life altering path that will cause the dammed to humble in silence.
One night…just a few friends, how could it go so wrong? That was the question seventeen year old Charlie Myers was asking when she found herself in the ER. Outwardly nothing was wrong with Charlie, she was a vision of perfect heath, internally she was battling a raging headache…one the doctor told her she would overcome shortly, but Charlie knew something else was wrong …very wrong.
Part of her had been stolen…she was missing memories. Those memories were sacred. They held the key to her sanity. They told her that the sinister whispers, the shadows that came to life before her were not as ominous as she felt they were. They held the bond with her late father, a famed musician. They caused her to forget the one talent that allowed her to face the darkness that haunted her every waking hour. They also masked a much deeper bond, the face of the one that had stolen her heart, long before the age of seventeen.
Sitting in the ER with her angry mother she couldn’t figure out what she was missing, or even how. Her thoughts told her that she needed to protect Britain, a friend of hers, but that didn’t make any sense – Britain didn’t need to be protected from anyone, he was strong, young, and absurdly wealthy. Charlie also knew that even though her friend Bianca called Charlie her best friend, she didn’t trust her …she was almost sure she despised her, but she couldn’t figure out why, or understand how random thoughts were telling her that she adored both Britain and Bianca – that they were her saviors – that they brought silence to the unstoppable whispers, but the silence scared Charlie. In her mind anyone or anything that could bring silence to something that dark could not be good.
Charlie wanted to stay in NY, figure out what she was missing, why, and who was behind it all, but her mother had other plans. Against her will, Charlie was sent to Salem to live with her sister, within that small town Charlie found her memories and so much more.
Her story begins now.
Darra's Review:
You will like this book. Charlie is one of a kind. She is different than most main characters I read. I had such conflicting feelings for Britain. I really want to like him but you know there is something wrong. Charlie should punch Bianca in the face. Talking about a bad BFF. The main thing that Charlie her sane is music. That is where Draven comes in. He was her past and he sings. Mmmm. More musicians. Everyone will love Draven. He is the perfect boyfriend. In fact you will love all her previous friends. They were always there for her before her brain wash. Read the book. It is unique and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.I will give it a 4.3.
Sunny's Review:
I really like this book! It was different and for some reason I love memory loss books. Charlie is a pretty good lead character. She basically knows that something is wrong and can't figure out what. I like that while she feels like she should be trying to help Britain she pays attention to her instincts and tries to stay away from Bianca. I love Draven too. He is awesome and surprisingly patient. I don't think that I would be able to be as calm if I were him. I was a little nervous when the book kept centering around music but it ended up being different and not a band book. I was literally yelling at Charlie towards the end of the book--it was like when you are watching the movie and you know something is about to happen and you yell "Don't go OUTSIDE!!!!" but they do...yep I was yelling at her. It was a really good book and I am going to be reading the rest of the series. The next 2 are out so you won't have to wait FOREVER!!! (You know my feelings on waiting on books...drives me CRAZY!)
I would give this book 4.5 stars out of 5...so go get it (or enter to WIN it)!!!!

About Jamie Magee:
Jamie Magee has always believed that each of us have a defining gift that sets us apart from the rest of the world, she has always envied those who have known from their first breath what their gift was. Not knowing hers, she began a career in the fast paced world of business. Raising a young family, and competing to rise higher in that field would drive some to the point of insanity, but she always found a moment of escape in a passing daydream. Her imagination would take her to places she’d never been, introduce her to people she’s never known. Insight, her debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination. Today, she is grateful that not knowing what defined her, led her on a path of discovery that would always be a part of her.
