Black Out

by Lisa Unger

HER LIFE IS FALLING APART. PICKING UP THE PIECES COULD KILL HER...On the surface, Annie Powers' life in a wealthy Florida suburb is happy and idyllic. Her husband, Gray, loves her fiercely and together they dote on their beautiful daughter, Victory. But cracks are beginning to appear as demons from Annie's past come back to haunt her. It is a past she has no memory of - and it won't let go. Disturbing events - the appearance of a familiar dark figure on the beach, a mysterious murder - trigger strange and confusing memories for Annie. And as her world starts to fracture around her, she soon realises that she must piece those memories together before her past comes to claim her - and her daughter...

Did not care for this one all that much. I finished it instead of giving up on it so I gave it 2 stars but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I didn't really like the main character. She had definite mental problems but her dissociative behavior and fugue states got redundant after a while. I did not feel suspense while reading this. I thought it was very drawn out. The flashbacks were necessary to the plot but were also distracting and took away from the pacing of the book. The book was very slow and quite boring in parts.
