Miranda wakes up alone on a park bench with no memory. In her panic, she releases a mysterious energy that incites pure terror in everyone around her. Except Peter, a boy who isn't at all surprised by Miranda's shocking ability.
Left with no choice but to trust this stranger, Miranda discovers she was trained to be a weapon and is part of an elite force of genetically-altered teens who possess flawless combat skills and powers strong enough to destroy a city. But adjusting to her old life isn't easy--especially with Noah, the boyfriend she can't remember loving. Then Miranda uncovers a dark truth that sets her team on the run. Suddenly her past doesn't seem to matter...when there may not be a future.
Dan Krokos' debut is a tour-de-force of non-stop action that will leave readers begging for the next book in this bold and powerful new series.

An Addictive Thriller 
Full of Action, Romance, Mystery and Raw Violence! 

I was so excited to receive False Memory for review that when it finally arrived at my doorstep, I stop everything I was previously reading just to devour this one. Was I too excited? were my expectations too high? Oh my God NO! I was right, the thrilling summary and the beautiful eye-catching cover promised a high caliber novel that does not deceive the reader. It actually surprises us in a very, very good way!

From the very first chapter the story takes off hooking the reader into a solid and enthralling adventure. Miranda, our kick-ass and lovely heroine, wakes up one day with no memories and only four hundreds dollars on her pocket. With no idea of who she is or were she belongs to, she seeks the help of a cop at a mall's food court. Unfortunately, the cop is unwilling to cooperate with her which pissed Miranda off and then chaos is unfold. And when I say chaos, is CHAOS! People died, screamed, cried, and run away as if the four raiders of the apocalypse were descending upon them! Really, it was Mayhem. Then, there is only one person remaining at the food court besides Miranda, a mysterious guy who may be the only person to answer to her questions.

False Memory by Dan Krokos is a highly addictive thriller with amazing sci-fi elements! There is so much going on, yet Krokos executes the story brilliantly and there wasn't a single moment I wanted to put this book down. In addition, the characters are wonderful. Miranda is one perfect female kickass lead whose voice will captivate readers and make them turn pages like there was no tomorrow! Besides her, there is also Noah (Miranda's ex boyfriend/boyfriend), Olive (Miranda's friend) and Peter (who I love and who is in love with Miranda) and holy mother of God! I wasn't expecting such a delicious and toe-curling romance! I knew there was some because of the premise, but this book completely stole my heart! Completely Delicious!

I love the whole concept of the story and the way Krokos brilliantly executed it. The four main characters grew up together and were raised by scientists who hides the truth of these four kids goal and existence (which is terrifying!) I also love the characters' development towards their identity struggles. Krokos certainly provides a wonderful and comforting message concerning this issue by the end of the novel. Having said that, I think the world the author has created is masterfully crafted. From all the mysteries I encountered through out the story, I got a detailed and well thought-out explanations that left me highly satisfied and stupefied. Of course, not everything is resolved in this book but rejoice because there is a sequel on the way!!

False Memory is full of cinematic action, romance, mystery and raw violence that teens and adults will certainly devour in an instant! So get ready to lose one night of sleep while flipping this book's pages. Yo won't be able to put it down!
