A murder she doesnβt remember committing. A killer she doesnβt remember meeting. Megan Goldinβs Stay Awake is an electrifying novel that proves memory can be deadly.
Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When sheβs dropped off at the door of her brownstone, a stranger answersβa stranger who claims to live in her apartment. She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to discover itβs missing. In its place is a bloodstained knife. Her hands are covered in scribbled messages, like graffiti on her skin: STAY AWAKE.
Two years ago, Liv was thriving as a successful writer for a trendy magazine. Now, sheβs lost and disoriented in a New York City that looks nothing like what she remembers. Catching a glimpse of the local news, sheβs horrified to see reports of a crime scene where the victimβs blood has been used to scrawl a message across a window, similar to the message thatβs inked on her hands. What did she do last night? And why does she remember nothing from the past two years? Liv finds herself on the run for a crime she doesnβt remember committing. But thereβs someone who does know exactly what she did, and theyβll do anything to make her forgetβpermanently.
A complex thriller that unfolds at a breakneck speed, Stay Awake will keep you up all night.
