Review
This futuristic novel is a refreshing read. HOT STARS
Product Description
Sam Ryan has no memory of her past. All she has is a crayon drawing of a woman with the word 'Mummy' scrawled underneath. For the ten years Sam's been with the State Police, she's used their resources to search for any clues to her identity. But it's as if all mention of her family has been deliberately wiped off the system, and no one knows why. Everything changes the night her missing partner, Jack, attempts to kill her. Charged with his murder, Sam finds herself accepting help from Gabriel Stern - a shapeshifter with secrets of his own. As Sam delves into her partner's death, she discovers that not only is he very much alive, but he's involved with an organisation that plans to destroy the human race. Worse, someone knows the truth about Sam's past, and it appears that they'd rather see her dead than have her uncover it.

Non-stop suspense,
This review is from: Memory Zero (Paperback)
I love Keri Arthur in general. This one is a futuristic supernatural thriller, with some romance in it. Once you start reading the series, you won't want to put it down. The story is original and continues on through the series. I'm not a huge fan of futuristic books because they're usually too far fetched, but this one is not at all. I really enjoyed it.

Summary,
By KittyMomma (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memory Zero (Paperback)
For Sam Ryan, life began at the age of fourteen. She has no memory of her parents or her past. All she has is a crayon drawing of a woman with the word "Mommy" scrawled underneath in childish handwriting.For the ten years Sam's been with the State Police, she's used their resources to search for any clues to her identity. But it's as if all mention of her family has been deliberately wiped off the system, and no one seems to know why. Everything changes the night she agrees to meet her missing partner, Jack, and barely survives his attempt to kill her. Charged with his murder and suspended from the force, Sam finds herself accepting help from Gabriel Stern--a shapeshifter with secrets of his own. As Sam delves into her partner's death, she discovers more than she ever bargained for. Because not only is her partner very much alive, but he's involved in an organization that plans a war on the human race. Worse, someone knows the truth about Sam's past, and it appears that they'd rather see her dead than have her uncover it. The deeper she digs, the more the danger grows. It soon becomes clear that the key to surviving the present lies in unraveling the threads of her past--and in discovering not just who she is, but what she is . . .

Excellent Beginning,
By ephemeral - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Memory Zero (Paperback)
This is the first in Keri Arthur's thoroughly enjoyable Spook Squad series. Arthur creates a very unique and creative urban fantasy/paranormal world with believable, layered characters. In this book, police officer Sam Ryan is charged with her partner's death. To prove her innocence, she has to team up with Gabriel Stern- a shapeshifter who is also part of a mysterious shadow government. As the book progresses, it becomes clear that Sam has some interesting powers of her own. This book is very well-written. It is fast-paced, but Arthur devotes sufficient time to character development. The chemistry between the two main characters is believable and entertaining. There is a tiny hint of romance here, but nothing more. The focus stays on the action/thriller aspects of the plot. I definitely suggest this book. Its only fault is that it is too short. I was left wanting more, and I wished the book could have been fleshed out a bit. Luckily, there are two more books in this same series available.

More Romance than Fantasy,
By V. Martin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Memory Zero (Paperback)
This was my first Keri Arthur read and unfortunately will probably be my last. I really wanted to like this book, I think the storyline is interesting, I liked the heroine and am curious about what the rest of her story is. Unfortunately, the writing style really put me off. If this was the authors first book, then it would be understandable, but it's not. In the interest of fairness I think it's important to point out that this is a Romance novel that has been categorized as Urban Fantasy simply because the lead characters aren't human and live in a slightly parallel type of world to our own. This is probably where my disinterest comes from, as I prefer fully fleshed out Fantasy with only slight touches of Romance. It's a subtle difference, I know, but I think most SF/Fantasy and Romance readers will understand what I mean.The conclusion of this is that those who enjoy Romance novels set in a Futuristic setting, you'll probably enjoy this very much. If you're like me however, and prefer heavy Fantasy elements, I'd recommend giving this one a pass.

Fantastic!,
By M. Henderson "Snigglewedgit" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Memory Zero (Paperback)
From page 1 I was hooked! There's murder, mayhem, unique characters, and a great mystery. The characters are well developed, and the story is amazingly fast paced.I've just started the second book in this series and it's even better than this one. |
