FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
The Deadening by Kerry Peresta was an exciting read. When I finished this book, I wished that the next book in the series was released because I hate waiting. This book did keep me guessing throughout most of the book, which I loved as well. This book had a unique plot that also left me thinking about what was going to happen next. The author did a great job of making the characters come to life and make me feel like I was right there with the characters. It has been quite a while since I have read a book that I like as much as I did this book. I also loved the medical parts of this book because that stuff always interests me. I wish that this book moved a bit faster, but that wasn’t a deal-breaker for me. This author did a great job of making me feel like one person did it, and then in the next chapter, I realized that I was wrong, and I had to go back and figure it all out again. If you are looking for a book that will always keep you guessing, I would pick up a copy of this book and check it out.

Now, in spite of a brain injury that has rewired her personality, Olivia is on a mission to reclaim her life. As clarity surfaces, and she starts to understand who she was, she is shocked.
Could she really have been that person?
And if so, does she want her old life back?

“A gripping read populated by likable characters. Peresta draws us into a colorful detailed world and makes us care what happens to the people living in it. We root for Olivia as she struggles to regain her memory, her bearings, and the identity she lost long before her injury. Excellent!”
