Ok, I did as Darth Pendant suggested; I read the book then I watched the trailer for the new Starz series. She's right - the trailer makes absolutely no sense. Or, at least, based on what I saw in the trailer, has very little to do with the book itself. I also agree with DP that the book was go...

She stood shivering in the rain, watching the words on the letter dissolve under the downpour. Her hair was dripping, her lips tasted salty, and everything ached. Under the dim light of a nearby lamppost, she had scrabbled through the pockets of her jacket, looking for some sort of clue to who she w...

I was reminded I had this book gathering virtual dust in my Kindle when I saw a trailer for the upcoming Starz series. You can watch the trailer here. And then start to read this book. And then you can be as confused as I was. See, the trailer makes it look like a Bourne Identity-like mystery thri...

So it only took me a year plus to read this thing. It was a birthday gift from my hubby last year.

I had no idea what to expect when I started this book. A friend read it, didn't tell me anything about it, and I didn't read the blurb before I dove in. I didn't even look very closely at the cover, which would have given me some clues. I did later see that someone had compared it to X-Men meets X-F...

Myfanwy Thomas opens her eyes standing in a park, in the driving rain, surrounded by several bodies, all curiously wearing latex gloves. She has no idea who she is, how she got there, or who they are, and only knows her name because of a letter in her coat pocket. A letter she wrote, to her future s...

With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left behind to discover her i...
