Archetype by M.D. Waters

    This book is Sci Fi? Thriller? Love story? Or, maybe, all of these. It IS a no put down book.

    Emma gradually becomes aware, only to find she has no memory. She is in a hospital and the doctors tell her she has been in an accident. She has dreams, but they have nothing to do with her apparent life or the husband who protects her and will do anything for her. She finds herself returning that love, even as the voice in her head, and the dreams, become more insistent that there are things she does not know.

    The world seems to be short on females, but the details are hard to come by. No one wants to tell her anything about her past or answer her questions. Emma instinctively holds back the information from her dreams as she attempts to unravel the mystery of why she has no memory and what really happened to her.

    This world of the future has teleportation, computer screens that are the walls of rooms, terrorists, and secrets Emma must find the answers to so she will know who she really is and who she truly loves.

    I thought I had it figured out. I was wrong.

    First book of a two volume series. Yep. It left me hanging at the end. Cant wait to read book two, 'Prototype'!

Missing you by Harlan Coben

    Kat Donovan is a NYPD Detective. It's a family deal. Her father was a cop too. Feeling lonely and maybe just a little desperate, Kat signs on to a dating website. What she finds is a picture of the man who broke her heart 18 years before and then disappeared. Surprised that she still has feelings for Jeff, Kat responds to the ad. But the answers don't make sense to her and she becomes suspicious.

    What Kat begins to unravel, with the help of a missing woman's computer geek son, is frightening. People are murdered and dark secrets from the long ago begin to surface as her investigation deepens. She must find Jeff and get answers before more innocent victims die, no matter what she must face in the present or from the past.

    I enjoyed this book because Kat was not a perfect heroine. I liked her misguided tenacity, faults and blind spots. They made her real. I figured out most of the plot but there was enough that took me by surprise to make it tense and keep me reading intently until the end.

    A great read, as always, from Coben.
