Bookish Thoughts: Recovered Secrets


Description:
A blank memory. A new life.

But her borrowed time just ran out

Two years after Grace Thackery washed up on a small-town Mississippi riverbank, she has the first clue about the life she doesn’t remember: someone wants her dead. And while search-and-rescue director Hollis Montgomery’s determined to protect her, the secrets of her past are darker than they expected. Can the bond between Grace and Hollis survive her true identity…and an assassin?


About the Author:
Jessica R. Patch lives in the mid-south where she pens inspirational contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels. You can find her watching way too much Netflix with her family, going on fun adventures (all in the name of research), and collecting recipes to amazing dishes she'll probably never cook.









My Thoughts:
I read this book a couple months ago and absolutely loved it!  Jessica R. Patch is definitely one of my favorite suspense/mystery authors and her books always keep me guessing.  I was super excited to learn this would be Hollister’s book (Greer’s brother) and was hooked from the very first page!  I’ve yet to find one of Ms. Patch’s books that doesn’t leave me wishing there were more hours in the day to read and this one is certainly not the exception. 

Okay, so I admit it; I’m a sucker for amnesia stories.  I’m not entirely sure why, but I find them extremely interesting.  That being said, I actually haven’t come across that many of them.  Of the few that I have read though, I would have to say that this one is probably my favorite, so far.  I thought Ms. Patch did an excellent job of capturing the confusion, fear, and uncertainty that must surely go with it.  I loved Grace from the first couple pages, especially after she yells, “I’m a ninja!”  Her story kept me on the edge of my seat, having to know what was going to happen next!  I loved Hollister’s loyalty and determination to remind Grace of who she is, even as she’s learning who she was.  I so appreciated the theme of God’s grace and forgiveness that was woven throughout the story.  It never seemed trite or contrived, but rather perfectly suited the situation the characters were facing. 

Overall, I immensely enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it!
