I somehow missed Bonansinga's first book but I'm sure glad I didn't miss this one. John Doe wakes up in a hospital without a clue who he is. It soon looks like he may be a serial killer but who knows for sure. This is one of those stories that just sucks you in. The night I picked it up I remember reading the first word and the next thing I knew it was 2 hours later and I was way into the plot and fascinated. Now I've got to go find his first one!

I really enjoyed this book. It was really fun to read. It really took me back to when I read more of these similar books so that was fun for sure. There were a few typo's, but that doesn't mean that that will be the case in your copy, mainly because my copy was written in Dutch.

This is a book that keeps u engaged. You can't put it down once you start. It's full of suspense and you as u read and learn new things about the main character, who makes up without memory, u are trying to figure out if he is a serial killer or a victim. He gets flashbacks of blood and different scenarios as he tries to figure out who he is throughout the book. Very good book
