If I Die Before I Wake by Emily KochMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Imagine being trapped inside your own mind,you can't move any part of your body,you can see but only every now and then and then that's only blurry images.The only thing that is working properly is your hearing and you are forced to listen while others decide wether you have a future or not.That's the nightmare world that Alex Jackson has found himself trapped in.Everyone believes that he is in a coma and is unlikely to wake up and all he can do is lie in his hospital bed and listen.As time passes Alex begins to realise that the accident that caused his condition wasn't really a accident.Even worse the person who tried to kill him is still out there and Alex is not the only one in danger.
The reader spends the whole of this gripping thriller being a passenger inside Alex`s head as he struggles with his fear,anger and frustration at the situation that he finds himself in.we follow as he goes back over what he can remember of his past,hoping to find some clue that will help him identify who tried to kill him.We listen into the interactions between his visitors including his father,sister and girlfriend Bea as well as the private thoughts that they shared with Alex himself.we also learn about the hospital staff who are responsible for his care including kind,caring Pauline and horrible,obnoxious Connie.
I was hooked in by this riveting story from the very first page.There was a number of twists and red herrings that kept the reader guessing and the short snappy chapters gave me a very bad dose of Just one more chapter syndrome.The ending really got to me for personal reasons and I was close to tears when I finished the book.I loved this well written debut thriller and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
