"Don't tell me you fell asleep and forgot everything again."

Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi in NYC, unsure of how she got there, who she is, or why she has a bloodstained knife. The only clue she has as to what's going on is the message written on her hands: STAY AWAKE.

Wheeeeew!! Stay Awake was super creepy and I LOVED IT. I'm a huge fan of the movie Memento, and this book was very reminiscent of that movie. I loved Liv as an unreliable narrator, constantly falling asleep and then waking up without memories. This was really well written, as we start in the present and work our way back to the event that triggered it all two years ago, while also revealing the killer in present time. If you're looking for a really atmospheric, suspenseful, and fast-paced thriller, this is the one to pick up!
