When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe. Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.Crippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she’s running out of time to answer them. Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget?From popular young adult author Jessica Brody comes a compelling and suspenseful new sci-fi series. The Unremembered Trilogy is set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten. 

I am going to be honest. I came across Jessica Brody's blog, I don't even remember how and I read part of the description for this book and thought, "Well, that sounds interesting" so I added it to my Book Wishlist (on Amazon) and to my TBR list on GoodReads. And I started following Jessica Brody on Twitter.

Then something awesome happened.

Jessica Brody posted on Twitter about a giveaway she was having and everyone wins. And I thought wow that is pretty cool. If you are able to complete the three levels of challenges you will win a swag pack.

How awesome is this?

You can find out how to participate here on Jessica Brody's blog.

I then went out and bought the paperback copy of Unremembered and I am SO GLAD that I did!

I think the paperback copy is pretty cool, there is also an interview with Jessica Brody, discussion questions, Unstolen and The Memory Coder. As well as the first chapter to Unforgotten.



I really loved this book.

And I do think it is not really like any other book I have read.

I really love Jessica Brody's writing style in this book. I found the book interesting and easy to read. And I was hooked at the beginning of the story.

Jane Doe (aka Violet...aka Sera) was a very interesting character. And I enjoyed watching her overcome losing her memories and figuring out what is the truth and what is a lie.

I found this book to have action, mystery, love and friendship.

It took me a couple days to get through the book, but that was simply because I was so busy participating in the Love-A-Thon. But I was still able to read it in a matter of a couple days.

There were a couple things that I was able to easily predict in the story. But there were also moments that surprised me and kept me guessing. And I honestly can say that there was a plot twist that I REALLY did not see coming.

I really enjoyed this book. And I looking forward to Unforgotten coming out! I am definitely planning on reading it!

I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading young adult science fiction.

  1. I stopped reading before the spoilers because I am a spoilerphobe! I don't even read all of a synopsis sometimes, lol. BUT I am so glad to see that this one surprised you. That is something that I value in books because when you read as much as we do, sometimes we start to predict everything. I will have to add this to my TBR list soon!

    1. Me too. That's why I mark anything that I think could even possibly be seen as a spoiler. (Even if others don't think it really is). I don't read all of the synopsis a lot of times either! I glad you are interested in reading the book. I hope you like it!
