Unremembered (Unremembered #1)
In this first of a series, we have a pretty intriguing start. A girl finds herself alone. She is the only survivor of an aeroplane crush. She has no memories, and knows nothing about herself. Then we learn she is not recorded as being on the flight. An interesting premise, and I was keen to learn what/who she was.Pretty quickly we can see Violet/Sera is not quite your typical 16 year old. Theres some lovely exchanges between her and her foster-brother, Cody, but its very obvious that there is
Love the foster brother. He's so cool. Would love to hang out with him and his group of friends. The mysterious opening was so riveting! How crazy to wake up surrounded by bodies. Can totally picture that in a movie.
Unremembered starts with a shock of cold water and a slew of questions and from there barely gives us a moment to breathe, catapulting us forward as a young woman with a blank canvas for a mind struggles to fill it once again with color. What's instantly noticeable and infinitely more intriguing than the amnesia alone is that Sera doesn't simply struggle to remember her past, she struggles to understand her environment as well; technology, slang, food and so many other things utterly foreign to
Despite a few scattered patches in the writing, this turned out to be a really great read. I love the story line concept. It was delivered with a great mix of mystery and intrigue and even gives us something more then what's typically expected. But I think it's the love story that really made this one standout. I've always been a sucker for undeniable love and Sera and Zen really made a dent in my heart. The way Zen never gave up and is willing to do what ever it takes took my breath away.This
Loved it! This may be the most underrated book I've listened to this year. Although the actual broad theme was not unique- (view spoiler)[ girl has no memory and needs a guy to unlock a secret (hide spoiler)]- the delivery was unique. The big reveal was interesting as were the twists. One I did not see coming at all. I nearly finished in one sitting. If sleeping hadn't got in the way I would have. I even put my Saturday plans on hold to finish and it was worth it. I would start book 2 now, but
2.5 starsThe problem with Unremembered is that it explores a concept which, though fascinating, has been done many times before in various ways and has also been done far better. What you have here is a simple, entertaining sci-fi novel about a girl who is more than what she seems, supposedly the sole survivor of a plane crash but unable to remember anything. Furthermore, her name isn't on the flight manifest and no one can find out who she is, where she came from or who her family are.It's a

Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Unremembered (Unremembered #1)
The only thing worse than forgetting her past . . . is remembering it. When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage - alive - is making headlines across the globe. Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world. Crippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she’s running out of time to answer them. Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget? From popular young adult author Jessica Brody comes a compelling and suspenseful new sci-fi series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten.Define About Books Unremembered (Unremembered #1)

Hmm, well this was weird. It was fast-paced and turned quite sci-fi at the end! I liked that it managed to surprise me, but there was just some things missing. Like emotions. And yeah. It was okay. But not great.In this first of a series, we have a pretty intriguing start. A girl finds herself alone. She is the only survivor of an aeroplane crush.
