Publisher Description
'Original and compelling to the extreme - I raced through it' Debbie Howells
YOU CAN HEAR HIS EVERY THOUGHT... BUT HE CAN HEAR YOURS TOO.
When Elijah suggests celebrating their ten-year anniversary by visiting OneMind, Anna is hesitant about getting the implant that will allow them to hear each other’s thoughts. Yet, eager to please him and compensate for what she cannot give him, she reluctantly agrees to take this step towards ultimate intimacy.
At first, everything seems perfect. Anna feels closer to her husband, and the novelty of mind-to-mind communication is exhilarating. But soon, she starts experiencing a strange side effect: dreams that aren’t dreams, but memories - memories that don’t belong to her. If Anna is now seeing Elijah’s memories, what of he can see hers?
Desperate to keep her hidden truths from her husband, Anna finds her mind becoming a prison she can't escape. How long can she keep the traitorous thoughts at bay before she drives herself mad?
‘Fantastic … I can’t remember feeling this on edge’ Natalie Chandler
'Like a OneMind chip, Always on my Mind got under my skin and refused to let me rest until the story’s end’ Amy Beashel
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Anna can hear her husband’s thoughts, and he can hear hers. They had chips implanted as an anniversary present to one another. It’s supposed to bring them closer together, especially as they have been through some tough times. Instead, Anna begins to unravel as she realises that it’s not just her present-day thoughts that Elijah can access, but some long-buried memories too.
This futuristic take on the domestic thriller is a fast-paced and enthralling read, and author Carys Green never lets the high-tech premise get out of control. The novel is anchored in the detail of the main relationship and the associated family drama, providing a believable setting for Anna’s shocking secrets and the sci-fi mind-reading chips that prompt the revelations. The plot knits together tightly, coming to a satisfying conclusion. Even so, there are still questions that haunt the reader after the last page is turned. It’s hard not to ask yourself what would happen if the person you love most could hear every one of your thoughts.
