A Broken Body. A Broken Mind. What If She Wasn’t The Last Victim?Jane Doe

Raven Marks survives a brutal kidnapping but just barely. Along with a broken body, her mind is broken. She wants to put the past behind her, but nightmarish memories won’t let her. . .At first because she doesn’t have them, and then because she does.

Even though her fractured memory can’t recall every detail, she’s haunted by one thought: What if she wasn’t the last victim? Her search for answers leads her to the highest politicians in the land. Each reclaimed memory brings her closer to the truth—and to even more danger.

My Thoughts

Imagine being kidnapped, tortured, and then waking up with no memory of what happened. Raven Marks experienced this exact situation.  But we only die in God’s time and according to His plan, so she miraculously survives.  She then goes on to write a book about her experience and finds meaning for her life.

The suspense and danger in this book kept me reading.  I found I could not put it down.  This book illustrates how some politicians believe they are above the law and can do anything to anyone they want.  Yet this book illustrates how we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  I loved the courage and determination Raven showed.  I also appreciated how Hunter was willing to do what it takes to keep Raven safe.  Additionally, Raven’s sister, Grace (at the rehabilitation home), Raven’s former editor all help bring the story to life.

The entire time I was reading I felt like I was part of the story.  I had to find out how the story ended.  I must say the ending did not disappoint.

So check this book out for yourself.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from CelebrateLit, this in no way influenced my review.  All opinions are my own.

About the Author

Lillian Duncan… turning faith into fiction.

More from Lillian

JANE DOE is my latest novel and it’s a doozy!

What’s the genre you ask? It’s suspense with lots of drama and action…but it also a political thriller…but it also has a lot of mystery components…but there’s the romance element as well… and let’s not forget the spiritual message! No matter what genre you classify it as, it’s one I think you’ll enjoy!

So how did JANE DOE come about?

I’d finished all my edits on a current book and was feeling very uninspired. I had no idea for my next story, so I went on FB and asked people to send me an idea for my next suspense novel. An old high school friend sent me the suggestion to write a story where the main character struggled with memory loss.

Mmmm… but the old amnesia plot has been done and it’s a big no-no that writing experts warn against. I took the challenge and wrote JANE DOE. It’s definitely not your typical amnesia plot, but the main character is haunted by her memories.

First, because she doesn’t have them and then because she does!

Raven Marks survives a brutal kidnapping but just barely. Along with a broken body, her mind is broken. Even though she can’t remember the details of her kidnapping, she’s haunted by the thought that someone else is being victimized by the kidnapper she can’t remember.

Her journey to discover the truth leads her to the highest politicians in the state and then the country. Each reclaimed memory brings her closer to the truth—and to even more danger.

I’m not going to give away the plot, but there’s plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading late into the night!
