The Reminder

The Reminder
By: Rune Michaels

Daisy has never recovered from her mother’s death and refuses to discuss her grief with her therapist. She often believes she hears her mother’s voice which turns out to be home movies her dad plays when he can’t sleep. When she decides to surprise her father at work she hears her mother’s voice again. This time what she hears isn’t a home movie but a conversation between her father and someone that sounds exactly like her mother. Confused and scared, Daisy hides until her father leaves and what she finds is more terrifying than she could have ever imagined. Daisy must now decide how to handle the secret and how far she is willing to go to protect the last tie to her mother.

The book is a great blend between drama, mystery, and science fiction. It explores how we handle death and grief when we lose our loved ones and what we might do, if it were possible, to hold on to those we love after they are gone. This book is a great page turner with a twist at the end that you won’t see coming!
