Erased

By Nick Gifford

"The king of children's horror..." Sunday Express

You're not paranoid if they really are after you.

Someone is messing with Liam's world. All the rules have changed and his life has unravelled completely. He can't even trust his own memories.

What he does know is that someone is watching him. Someone thinks he's dangerous.

Liam has to fight back. There are no bystanders in this terrifying game. Only players and victims.

And Liam isn't going to be a victim.

"If you're into completely out-there thrillers this is for you. Mind readers, brain implants, mad professors - this one's got the lot." Flipside Magazine

"A contemporary thriller with overtones of Orwell and Huxley about it." Rhyl Journal

"A gripping read for the older teens/young adult age range. You would not wish to swap places with Liam Connor!" Children's Books UK

"A story that genuinely chills and chafes at ethical and moral certainty... Erased is a real romp of a read. That it equips readers with an awareness of the mechanics of inhumanity must be a step towards ensuring history's mistakes are not repeated." Achukareviews

"This is a gripping thriller that draws you into the story ... Fans of the Alex Rider series will enjoy this. It's an exciting, fast paced book that will have you on the edge of your seat until the last page." Word Up

Reviews for Erased

[embershane · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Beautifully written. Stayed up all night because I couldn't put this book down.

After a motor vehicle accident, Ryan Farnsworth wakes up in a hospital to find he has no memory of his past. Not a single memory of family or friends. Without even basic memories of his personality, he has to carve himself out a new one. Which begs the questions, Who would you be if you could start over?

Although this novel did have some light romance in it, it felt more like a side story. The main storyline focused on Ryan discovering who he was and who he wanted to be with heavy emphasis on how this affected the family dynamic. We all have things we'd like to forget from our past or things we would like to change with our present. I think this book takes a deeper look at how the tendency is to cope with those things until they reach a breaking point. At what point do you stand up and say you're not going to accept this anymore or be this way anymore?

Very talented writing. Can't wait to read more from this author!
