Lucy used to be called Julia. She used to have a twin
brother. She used to have a life that wasn't spent hiding
her identity. Now, she lives in a new town with a new name,
and she might be falling for one of the most charming guys
in school. But Lucy isn't as safe from her past as she
thought, and it will take more than a name change for people
to forget what happened.
DAMAGE DONE is hands down one of my favorite 2015 reads.
Amanda Panitch expertly combines suspense, an unreliable
narrator, and mystery into one fast-paced novel. Lucy's
story is utterly absorbing, and the writing is quick, to the
point, and always saves the best for last. This is a plot
readers won't soon forget, and a story that will blow minds.
One of the elements that makes DAMAGE DONE so extraordinary
are the layers. No character is one-dimensional, and shades
of gray cover almost every morality angle. The insights into
the psychologist's mind are both disturbing and fascinating.
No character is to be trusted and that takes the suspense
even higher. The ending thankfully answers all questions.
I can't recommend DAMAGE DONE highly enough. Amanda Panitch
shows incredible talent in this story, and readers will be
eager for more as soon as they finish. The plot is a
perfect combination of slow, psychological build up and
breathless suspense scenes that will keep readers on their
toes and up until far into the night trying to finish this
book.
22 minutes separate Julia Vann's before and after.
Before: Julia had a twin brother, a boyfriend, and a best
friend.
After: She has a new identity, a new hometown, and
memories
of those twenty-two minutes that refuse to come into focus.
At least, that's what she tells the police.
Now that she's Lucy Black, she's able to begin again. And
her fresh start has attracted the attention of one of the
hottest guys in school, a boy who will do anything to
protect her. But when someone much more dangerous also takes
notice, Lucy's forced to confront the dark secrets she
thought were safely left behind.
One thing is clear: The damage done can never be erased.
It's only just beginning. . . .
In this deliciously twisted contemporary thriller, family
can be a real killer. For fans of We Were Liars and
readers who love unique multiple perspectives that leave
clues like breadcrumbs until they reach the stunning conclusion.
