If She Wakes
If She Wakes | MICHAEL. KORYTA
17 posts | 12 read | 18 to read
New York Times bestselling author Michael Koryta, the 'master' (Stephen King) of American thriller writing, returns with an electrifying new novel about two women fighting for their lives against an enigmatic killer. Tara Beckley is a college senior assigned to chaperone a visiting engineer to a conference. On the road, she is the victim of a brutal accident that kills the engineer but leaves Tara in a vegetative state - or, at least, so her doctors think. Really, Tara is the prisoner of locked-in syndrome, fully alert, but unable to move a muscle. Trapped in her body, she discovers that someone powerful wants her dead. But why? And what can she do, lying in a hospital bed, to stop them? Meanwhile, Abby Kaplan, an insurance investigator, is assigned to Tara's case. A former stunt driver, Abby has returned to Maine after a disaster in Hollywood left a beloved actor dead and her own reputation - and nerves - shattered. She has nothing left to give to the case, but she can tell there's more to the accident than meets the eye. When Abby starts asking questions, things spin out of control fast, leaving her boss murdered, Abby on the run, and an enigmatic young hit man on her heels. If She Wakes is a tension-filled thriller from one of the masters of the genre.

This one just wasn‘t for me. I couldn‘t connect to any of the characters except Tara. I wish the story focused more on her and her experience. The story just became repetitive and dragged. But it was interesting enough for me to finish so that‘s always a good thing.

Tara Beckley ends up trapped in a coma after an accident at Hammel College in Maine. Someone wants her dead. But why? This is a fast-paced, clever thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Michael Koryta is a masterful writer. I have read 4 of his other books and have enjoyed them all. This one is my pick for #LMPBC #Round11 #GroupW and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 4y

3.5 stars. I suppose I was underwhelmed by the final reveal. It was a decent paced thriller and would make an intriguing movie. Thought the characters were well-developed. Idk what it is but something is preventing me from giving it a “Pick” rating.

A college student is involved in an accident that may not of been an accident and now she is in danger. To make matters worse she is unable to move or communicate because she is "locked in syndrome". Her only hope is her feisty older sister and a washed up insurance investigator to put the pieces together and save her before its too late. ? more

Jenken1998 This is between So So and Pick. It was a slow start but picked up in the end. Slow starts are ok.. if there is tension built up.. i didnt get that here. It was ok. 5y

Book 12/20 during my #bookfitnesschallenge !

This one too me a little while to get through, as I couldn‘t get involved really in the middle 🙄🤔. . Between a pick and a so-so for me, but I decided on a pick since I do enjoy his writing. This one left me still with some questions though and I‘m not sure how I feel about that. 😆 #bfc

Stephen King posted a Summer Reads list years ago that introduced me to some great authors- Michael Kortya being one of the best. I'm already all in on this thriller! #audiobooks #librofm
