Book Review: "The Twilight Wife" By: A.J. Banner



Title: The Twilight Wife   By: A.J. Banner

Publication Date: 12/27/2016

Summary:
Thirty-four-year-old marine biologist Kyra Winthrop remembers nothing about the diving accident that left her with a complex form of memory loss. With only brief flashes of the last few years of her life, her world has narrowed to a few close friendships on the island where she lives with her devoted husband, Jacob.
But all is not what it seems. Kyra begins to have visions—or are they memories?—of a rocky marriage, broken promises, and cryptic relationships with the island residents, whom she believes to be her friends.
As Kyra races to uncover her past, the truth becomes a terrifying nightmare. A twisty, immersive thriller, The Twilight Wife will keep readers enthralled through the final, shocking twist. From www.amazon.com

Review:
I read a lot of amnesia-based psychological thrillers. If you read my blog, about half of the books I read seem to fit this category. I love the genre. I love putting myself in the mind of the main character and thinking how I would piece together the puzzle of their current life to figure out my past.
One thing I have learned is to not try to figure it all out, and just enjoy the journey. I’ve learned that it’s more fun to NOT try to read into every single cue that the author may drop as to hint to what's really going on.
This book was great. (I enjoyed “The Good Neighbor” as well (by the same author) and recommend that book if you have the time.) I read it in a few days; it kept my interest the whole time, and had a great twist that wasn’t completely obvious. This book really didn’t have a dull moment. I suppose it had moments that weren’t going-going-going, but I was never bored. (just like “The Good Neighbor”) The characters were well developed, I felt like I knew them and could predict them (or could I?). Highly recommended!
