VBT# Untouched - Lauren Hawkeye

 

Review: Untouched - Book #1 Florence, Arizona - Lauren Hawkeye - December 2014

Untouched was an edgy read as it starts off with the main character Alexa being home and the readers discover that she was in an accident which caused her to lose her memory of what occurred and has also caused her to stop her passion of painting. The readers also discover that prior to the accident , Alexa was a big-shot artist who had her own gallery shows and sold quite a number of paintings. After her accident, Alexa's mother became more protective and all is sailing smoothly till Alexa gets a visit from Ellie - a woman who is claiming to be her older sister. The thing is Alexa knows nothing of her father and can't believe she has a sister out there as whenever she tries to talk to her mum about her dad , her mum clams up. Over the next course of the novel, we read as Alexa travels to Florence, at first I kept thinking Florence , Italy but turns out that their is a smalltown in Arizona called Florence - this is where she goes. Over the following week or so Ellie ups and leaves Alexa in charge of her flower shop as her fiance's dad is sick -during this time Alexa meets Nate - one of the prison guards and also discovers a book up in the attic - a diary of sorts. Inside this book though is disturbing entries which indicate a horrible crime was committed. Who is this book about and who is the woman in the story ? To not give any more away in the book, I shall finish the review here as this is one book that you will have to read to discover the truth as anymore would be a total SPOILER alert. The perfect read for those fans of Edgy Fiction.
