4 twisted stars for J.P Pomare's suspenseful psychological thriller Call Me Evie

Evie is having trouble remembering her recent past. She has figments of memories, moments she fleetingly recalls but everything is hazy. What she does know is that she is being kept far from her home in Melbourne, in a remote cabin by a man she calls Uncle Jim. Why is she so far from home? Is Jim helping her or are his motives more sinister?

Evie is an unreliable narrator. She cannot tell the difference between memories, dreams and Jim's suggestions. She in a constant struggle to fight the fog and holes in her memory and we are along for the ride. J.P. Pomare had me second guessing everyone - including myself!

The story is told in two alternating timeframes - before and after. Things are revealed slowly, almost teasingly. I devoured this book because I had to know what really happened the night everything changed. The night that was the precipice to Evie's current situation.

This book was a wild ride of secrets and suspense that I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to reading what Pomare writes next.
