Vibes #1
Jigsaw
After waking up in a hospital room, suffering from amnesia, Brittany Cooke begins to experience weird vibes. Flashes of events, feelings of people she has never met, things she just couldn't possibly know Brittany can sense these and more.
But why can't she remember anything about her former life?
Why are her parents so reluctant to let her out of the house?
What is it that she knows that is so dangerous?
The vibes may be Brittany's only way of unlocking the secrets behind her hidden past, of putting the pieces of the jigsaw together. And what she discovers will change her life forever...

Well, I never expected to enjoy this as much as I did. With a cover like that do you really blame me? Its so lame and cheesy! It looks like a really low-budget 80s sci-fi movie poster. Ignoring the cover though, Jigsaw was not too shabby.
I liked the characters well enough, although I didn't understand why everyone kept calling our protagonist "smart". She was rather silly and I never got the impression of any sort of above average intelligence. Mango was rather funny, if a little ridiculous, and Nick was alright too. The villain, however, was a little pathetic. He wasn't really scary or creepy enough to make an impression let alone make me quake in my boots or anything of the sorts.
The plot was decent enough with the mystery elements quite well done despite being rather clichéd. What really didn't work for me though was the dialogue. I couldn't understand what they were saying most of the time! I thought it might have been some sort of British or American slang that I wasn't acquainted with, but this book is actually set in Australia (where I am from) so it couldn't be that. Maybe too much 90s lingo? I don't know but whatever it is it didn't work for me.
Jigsaw ended up being a rather enjoyable read that I certainly don't regret picking up.
