Blackout
Blackout: A Thriller | Erin Flanagan
8 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
In this unforgettable psychological thriller, the dark is a terrifying mystery for a woman on the edge. Seven hard-won months into her sobriety, sociology professor Maris Heilman has her first blackout. She chalks it up to exhaustion, though she fears that her husband and daughter will suspect she's drinking again. Whatever their cause, the glitches start becoming more frequent. Sometimes minutes, sometimes longer, but always leaving Maris with the same disorienting question: Where have I been? Then another blackout lands Maris in the ER, where she makes an alarming discovery. A network of women is battling the same inexplicable malady. Is it a bizarre coincidence or something more sinister? What do all the women have in common besides missing time? Or is it who they have in common? In a desperate search for answers, Maris has no idea what's coming next--just the escalating paranoia that her memories may be beyond her control, and that everything she knows could disappear in the blink of an eye.

When Maris first experiences a mysterious blackout, she tries to ignore it. She hasn't had a drink in 7 months and ascribes the lost time to a migraine or the stress of seeking tenure at the university where she is a sociology professor. Tension builds as Maris, so used to keeping secrets, hides her problem from her husband and daughter. The truth is shocking, but the story stays grounded in the reality of women's lives and relationships.

What a very interesting (almost) thriller. Forward thinking neuroscience meets sociology with a fat wallet mad doctor on the loose…that‘s all I can say without divulging too much! Book #52 in 2022

DinoMom I love the cover! 2y

My #letterb rec is Blackout. Twisty thriller with a sci-fi angle that confronts just how sinister misogyny can be.

Tagging anyone who wants to play 😊

I liked the premise and the storyline enough to rip through the last pages. I felt I wasn‘t close enough to the protagonist and that just about every element could have used some depth. That being said, I still identified with the protag and the global issue the book addresses.

Picked this one for my latest Amazon First Reads. It officially releases on July 1st. My insomnia was out to get me last night so I got through the first 7 chapters in bits and pieces throughout the night and I am SO intrigued. Great character building, social commentary, feminism, and of course, lots of suspense. I really think it's gonna pull me out of my recent slump.
