Publisher Description
Mia Germaine shouldn't be alive.
When she was twelve years old, Mia was killed in a devastating car crash alongside her father. A miracle brought her back to life: a heart transplant from a girl murdered on the same night. But that gift came with a terrifying price.
Because years later, the nightmares have started.
Experiencing a chilling phenomenon called "organ memory," Mia's dreams force her to witness the final, brutal moments of her donor's life. To save her own sanity, she must do what the police couldn't. Find the elusive killer responsible for the girl's death.
As Mia hunts for the truth, she makes a horrifying discovery. There is a dark secret about the girl whose heart beats in Mia's chest. And her childhood car crash may not have been an accident at all.
From a USA TODAY bestselling author comes a twisty, pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last beat.

Customer Reviews
Great read
I enjoyed this book and will most likely read more of her books. Entertaining read!
5 star literary thriller with well-crafted twist
Rarely do I find a thriller that is written with such vivid prose that I can see, taste, and feel everything happening. Along with its delicious prose, the storyline was refreshingly unique. Following an organ transplant, Mia starts having nightmares, only to discover the organ she received came from a murder victim. As the narrative touches on this concept with light penstrokes, it brings the drama to life as a serial killer is targeting young girls and Mia must stop them.
The author shares the real-life story that inspired this book, which was particularly fascinating. Add to it some gritty behind-the-scenes insights into the killer's mind, and it's a shocking read once we find out who the killer is and why.
If you're looking for an original plot, powerful writing, and fast-paced thrills, I highly recommend this 5-star novel. I'm already beginning my next Pamela Crane book.
