Duty and Deception #1
Erased
His memories stolen by a massive car wreck that almost took his life, Neo Weston stares into the mirror each day wondering who this person is staring back at him. Living in the mansion he was raised in, with a household staff that has known him for almost as long as he’s lived there, the place and the people all seem unreal, as if made of paper, but he can’t place why he feels the way he does.
His therapist, Leon, tells him it’s all part of the memory loss suffered in the accident. The battered sports car sits in one of the garage bays, placed there to help him understand why he remembers nothing beyond the previous year.
A tall black stranger, a woman on the beach. The man tells him things he can’t get out of his head, the woman is a puzzle he cannot solve. Who are these people? Why should he care?
Neo is not who he thinks he is, his world is not what it’s supposed to be. Enter the strange world of Neo Weston as he finds out the real truth about his life.

Very promissing premise and well written though not complete (1st part of a 5-part serialized novel) and I'm not going to find out how it all played out as the total price to buy all books (more than 10€ for around 500 pages - no series book sets available) is beyond what I think reasonable - especially for an indie book.
The story starts a bit confusing and ominous but we get the first pieces of the puzzled by around the half mark and then it becomes more obvious in which directions it most likely will go. Despite the romantic suspense tag it's not (or not yet) rather a conspiracy thriller mystery with a dash of romance and elements of medical and cyber-technology; the romance has elements of star-crossed lovers and soul mate contents.
The characters are promissing and interesting though not very well developed (yet?)
All in all it could be a good story. Should the author decide to publish the entire story in a book set and I see it on sale I'll reconsider but for now I'm done with her books because it's way too frustrating not to be alble to read until the very end of a story - all her books are set up as serialized novels.

To me, this novel is character driven and they all seem to be so real I found anxiety level climbing as I read what the author had put them through. It's a thrill a minute with things happening fast and unexpected. Getting caught unaware when the action changes pace without warning. It's an exciting read and entertaining. I enjoyed it and I am sure more people who like this genre will like it too.

Exiting and good
Neo is having problems with his memory, and he's having flashbacks after a accident that erased his long term memory.
This was a interesting book with a abrupt stop in the story at the end.
The book was easy to read and the characters was described in a good way but there were still some feelings missing for me. I really don't know if I'm going to read the rest of this series.
I don't know what it was about this book that didn't resonate with me but I'm going with my guts and say that it just didn't do it for me.

Erased leaves you wanting book two .
I liked the twists in the story and especially the love story. I can't wait to read the sequel to this book.
