The Forgotten Girl by Daco S. Auffenorde

-

If you enjoy books by Lisa Jewell or Fredia McFadden, I have your next read. The Forgotten Girl was published a few weeks ago and has 4.5/5 stars on Amazon. It is Daco S. Auffenorde’s first psychological thriller with Inkubator Books. I'm so happy to bring you this book as part of Zooloo Book Tours!


Blurb:

She lost her memory. Now she might lose her life.

A beautiful woman wakes in a hospital bed, shackled and confused. She’s been in a coma for weeks. And can only remember her first name—Blue.

Blue learns she fell from a window on the fourth floor of a hotel. Did she jump? Or was she pushed? To discover the truth, Blue must figure out who she is and what she was doing in that hotel.

And she needs to do it fast. Because someone is out there, hunting Blue down, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Not knowing where to turn or who to trust, Blue must rely on her instincts to survive. Gradually, her memories begin to return, and they’re darker than she could ever have imagined.

Will she put the pieces of her life back together before she’s silenced forever?

Review:

I can't imagine being in Blue's situation. Not knowing who you are and who you can trust. This book did a wonderful job telling the story from Blue's POV. Blue slowly recovers her memories or things that seem familiar at just the right pace and time in the book. I did not want to stop reading because I wanted to find out what Blue's past held and how she got to where she is. You can tell Blue has a sketchy past but you don't really know what. I loved the ending and the way Blue developed throughout the story. I loved this story and hope I can read more by this author!

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

The Last Train From Paris by Juliet Greenwood

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu

Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater.

To solve two murders, the former police K-9 officer and his canine partners must sift through the clues and the lies to reveal the true  prime suspect . Review: I’ve read Lauren Carr’s books before and loved them and this book is no different. The book opens with a cast or character (in order of appearance) that is super handy to reference back to (plus for physical books!) when you are learning the characte
