In der Adern von SJ Watson's Before I Go to Sleep und Christopher Nolans Kultklassiker Memento ist Megan Goldins Stay Awake ein elektrisierender Roman, der mit Erinnerung und Mord spielt.
Liv Reese wacht hinten in einem Taxi auf, ohne Ahnung, wo sie ist oder wie sie dorthin gekommen ist. Als sie an der Tür ihres Braunsteins abgesetzt wird, antwortet ein Fremder – ein Fremder, der jetzt in ihrer Wohnung lebt und sie in der Kälte zwingt. Sie greift nach ihrem Telefon, um Hilfe zu rufen, nur um festzustellen, dass es fehlt, und an seiner Stelle befindet sich ein blutbeflecktes Messer. Dann sieht sie, dass ihre Hände mit schwarzem Stift bedeckt sind, kritzelte Nachrichten wie Graffiti auf ihrer Haut: Bleib wach.
Vor zwei Jahren, Liv lebte mit ihrer besten Freundin zusammen, Dating ein neuer Mann, und gedeiht als erfolgreicher Schriftsteller für ein trendiges Magazin. Jetzt ist sie verloren und desorientiert in einem New York City, das nicht so aussieht, wie sie sich erinnert. Sie erhielt einen Blick auf die lokalen Nachrichten und ist entsetzt, Berichte über einen Tatort zu sehen, an dem das Blut des Opfers verwendet wurde, um eine Nachricht über ein Fenster zu kratzen, dieselbe Nachricht, die auf ihren Händen eingefärbt ist. Was hat sie letzte Nacht gemacht? Und warum erinnert sie sich an nichts aus den letzten zwei Jahren? Liv findet sich auf der Flucht nach einem Verbrechen, an das sie sich nicht erinnern kann, als sie versucht, die Fragmente ihres Lebens zusammenzufügen. Aber es gibt jemanden, der genau weiß, was sie getan hat, und sie werden alles tun, um sie vergessen zu lassen – dauerhaft.
Ein komplexer Thriller, der sich mit halsbrecherischer Geschwindigkeit entfaltet, Stay Awake wird Sie die ganze Nacht wach halten.

In the vein of Jacqueline Bublitz's BEFORE YOU KNEW MY NAME and Christopher Nolan's cult classic MEMENTO, Megan Goldin's STAY AWAKE is an electrifying novel that plays with memory and murder. Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When she's dropped off at the door of her brownstone, a stranger answers-a stranger who claims to live in her apartment. She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to discover it's missing. In its place is a bloodstained knife. Her hands are covered in scribbled messages, like graffiti on her skin- STAY AWAKE. Two years ago, Liv was thriving as a successful writer for a trendy magazine. Now, she's lost and disoriented in a New York City that looks nothing like what she remembers. Catching a glimpse of the local news, she's horrified to see reports of a crime scene where the victim's blood has been used to scrawl a message across a window, the same message that's inked on her hands. What did she do last night? And why does she remember nothing from the past two years? Liv finds herself on the run for a crime she doesn't remember committing. But there's someone who does know exactly what she did, and they'll do anything to make her forget-permanently.
