My Review

5 stars

Rosie Chandler is the only survivor of the crash where the vehicle they were in plunged into a lake. She has lost her memory of the event and has lost her Viola and is desperate to get both back so she goes to Dr. Samantha Willerby. But Sam quickly sees that Rosie is hiding something and has become possessive of Sam. When Sam agrees to take Rosie back to where the crash happened he truth comes out and Sam realizes she is in more trouble than she thought.

Sam is a therapist for traumatic accident survivors so it is natural that she would be asked to help Rosie. Rosie has some serious issues from a young age. When she comes to Sam you can just tell that something is up but not what. She starts to see Rosie relying on her more and more but wants to help her find her lost memories.

This is a great thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. You can’t help but feel sorry for everything Rosie has gone through but at the same time you know something if off and don’t trust her. Although Sam has a set of rules she follows to stay safe from potential troubled patients she disregards them to help Rosie, big mistake. But Sam also has to worry about her sister and what she is up to. I think this is why she dropped her guard so much for Rosie.

I loved Inside the Whispers and was excited to Read Lost in the Lake. This is a great series that will draw you in, leave you guessing, and thrilled at the unexpected ending. Lost in the Lake could easily be read as a standalone novel but I think reading them in order adds to the story. I recommend checking this book out.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.

I would like to thank Bloodhound Books for the opportunity to read and share this book.
