Forgotten Identity by Penny Zeller Review

 

I absolutely loved Forgotten Identity By Penny Zeller. Awesome suspense.

Being a homeschool mom, I loved that the female protagonist was also a homeschool mom of two young children. The story opens with their dog Nosy leading her and her son to an injured man who was near death. A severe snow storm was just beginning, which left Mariah, her mom, and the two children stranded with no way to contact the authorities, so they did their best to care for this strange man.

"George," as he was known for a good portion of the story, regained consciousness and discovered he had no memory. Was he a good guy or a bad guy? Should Mariah trust him or not? And just who were the people who started coming around asking about a missing person? 

The author did a wonderful job keeping the suspense coming while developing the relationship between Mariah and "George." And I loved all the interactions with the children. Mariah's mom and the ex-cop neighbor also played important roles in the story.

And yes, I sort of figured out early on whether "George" was a good guy or bad guy, but that didn't take away from the enjoyment of the story. And there was plenty of suspense left even after that was made clear. 

I'm really loving this author's romantic suspense, and love that she is able to write wonderful stories in multiple genres.

I received an e-copy of this book as a member of the launch team and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.
