Date Read: August 2014
Genre: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy
More Information:The Northern Alliance Betterment Society, better known as the Hunters, has persecuted the Gifted for years. When Sam Benson is taken and her memory stolen, she certainly isn't their first victim. But she's determined to use her family's influence as memory-bringer elders to make sure she's one of the last.
As soon as she escapes the Hunters' compound, anyway.
Two Hunter guards claim to be working to get Sam free, but only one has her best interests at heart—and holds the key to mounting an offense against the Hunters. With her memory fractured and the Hunters set against her, can she choose the right person to trust?

First Thoughts when Finished: Elusive Memories by Amanda Shofner was a unique (can’t stress that enough) story that pulled me and didn’t let me go. (Read in one afternoon). I enjoyed the mix of suspenseful storytelling and fringe paranormal. This is one of those series that will catch you off guard and make you want more! What can I say I am ready for the next one 🙂

AAAH! Amanda’s book! I have to read this soon because I love her. Glad you liked it!
Hmm I just don’t like books with memoryloss. But unique is certainly rare these days.
This is a different kind of memoryloss (they forced it) and it helps the story 🙂 On a whole I agree that isn’t my favorite troupe but I don’t seem to mind it if it isn’t part of the romance.
Hmmm sounds pretty good.
It really is! A great little gem!
Oh! Sounds interesting and you had me at *unique*
Truly was! Great beginning to the series 🙂
Any review that contains the word “unique” in it is a surefire way to hook me because I get so tired of reading cookie cutter novels. It’s great to come across a story that manages to stand out from the crowd.
This just contained some storylines that I had not seen and really the story hooked me. It is an urban fantasy (if I were to categorize it) that I think the 2nd book will hook me even more 🙂
Never heard of it but it sounds interesting. 🙂
It was a really great start to a series 🙂
