Review: Forget Me Not - Kristen Middleton
Review: Forget Me Not - Book #1 Summit Lake Series - Kristen Middleton - March 2018
Amanda and her young son Kevin’s move to Summit Falls is meant to bring closure, but instead, it opens Pandora’s box of secrets and danger. Inheriting the estate of her ex-husband Brad—a man she hasn’t seen or heard from in nearly two decades—Amanda anticipates awkward adjustments, not the chilling discoveries that await her. As whispers of Brad’s mysterious death evolve into shouts of foul play, Amanda finds herself in the crosshairs of a relentless stalker who seems hell-bent on revenge.
The story begins with a gripping prologue featuring a man seeking vengeance against a shadowy figure from his past, setting a dark, tension-filled tone that permeates the novel. When Amanda arrives in Summit Falls, she is plunged into an atmospheric world where every friendly face hides potential betrayal, and each shadow seems to harbor deadly intent.
The plot masterfully intertwines Amanda’s current plight with Brad’s history, unraveling their shared past while exposing dark truths about what happened in the years since their separation. The themes of pedophilia and sexual abuse are handled with care but add a harrowing depth to the story, making it as thought-provoking as it is suspenseful.
While the subject matter may be difficult for some readers, it’s woven into the narrative in a way that underscores the depth of the characters’ trauma and motivations. The ultimate reveal of the killer and their motives is both shocking and tragically human, leaving readers contemplating the ripple effects of past sins.
Fans of dark, emotionally charged thrillers will find this book unforgettable—a perfect mix of suspense, emotional depth, and gripping mystery.
