This urban fantasy novel with one of the most intriguing titles we’ve ever come across is the debut novel from Kira Blackwood. It follows Michael, a man who has the power to use the memories of others to harm or heal, and Chelsea, a recent college grad, whose life changes the night her parents are murdered. They’re forced to come together against the doomsday cult that’s convinced they’re the keys to pitching the world as we know it into total darkness.

“Michael Sanders’s life could be contained in a fourteen by eighteen-inch suitcase, and all proof of his existence could be stowed away in a Chinese food take-out carton. This was just as well because Michael Sanders did not exist.”

The name he uses — Michael — isn’t his. He knows who he isn’t, but not who he once was. He’s absorbed too many memories and lives to remember which are his and which were someone else’s. With each new place, his name and his story changes. If he doesn’t stay a step ahead, they’ll find him. Then the world ends. He can’t let that happen.

Chelsea graduated from her PhD program with honors. This should be the happiest moment of her life. But then her parents are murdered by an unknown assailant. A dark-haired stranger with a hypnotic stare says he knows who killed them, and she’ll be next if she stays. She doesn’t know whether to trust him, but right now, he’s all she has.

“Her heart stopped, and her eyes went wide. The world fell away, leaving her alone with the too-serious bartender with moss green eyes, ancient spherules that reflected a thousand years of lost wisdom. No wonder he was the one to catch her. Everyone else looked, but something in her gut told her this man could see, and he did, in fact, see her.”
