Don't Look Back Jennifer L Armentrout Books

A thrilling, on the edge of your seat thriller with the perfect blend of Armentrout swoon worthy character chemistry.

I've come to realize there's nothing that Jennifer Armentrout can't write. This book is definitely one that's an exciting thrill ride of a read, as much as it is a great murder mystery. The cover alone has that creepy, yet intriguing look to it. I had to know what the heck this story was all about. Everything surrounding Samantha's accident and disappearance is a mystery. What happened to her? Where's her best friend/frenemy? To make matters worse, Samantha (Sam) doesn't remember a thing. At first, she doesn't even know who she is. Normally I'd be rolling my eyes with the amnesia part of this story, because too often in the books I've read where this was part of the story, it wasn't well executed. Luckily that's far from the case with Don't Look Back. It's extremely well done, and plays a huge part in not only the book's plot twist, the over all mystery of the story, as well as with Samantha's character development.

Samantha is a character I was really intrigued with. She's not someone I connected with as much as I had wanted to, but instead she was a character I really enjoyed reading about. She has no recollection of anything. Not who she is, who she was before the accident, or who anyone in her family is. She's thrust into a world where she's at the top of the social ladder, lives in the upper class of society, and as it would seem, has it all. The more Samantha tries to remember and figure out just who she really is, the more her brother, and her friends tell her, and the more she digs around in trying to remember things, the more she realizes just how horrible of a person she was. I think she would give Mean Girls a run for their money. The thing about Sam, and I loved how Armentrout showed this other side of her during her dealing with amnesia, is that she is a great girl. She's got a huge heart, and for some reason she acted differently and was incredibly mean to everyone. Though that same sweet girl was still there, buried deep inside, with out her memories, she's able to be that girl again. Thankfully Samantha's amnesia has given her a second chance.

I totally admire Samantha. Not only has something tragic happened to her, she jumps back into a life she doesn't remember, she lives with people whom obviously love her and she them, yet she doesn't remember them, and on top of it all, she realizes she was not the kind of girl she now has the chance to be. Samantha's amnesia allows her to be just her. The girl she's kept locked up inside. While I admired her, enjoyed seeing her change, and sat gripped on the edge of my chair while she slowly tried piecing events together to figure out what happened to her, and figure out where Cassie is at, I seriously wanted to slap her when it came to her when it came to Del. For as smart of a girl Samantha is, it was a no brainer that he wasn't being honest with her. Given that she came to trust her brother, and his best friend Carson, they were even telling her about him, she totally went along with Del. That part of the book peeved me with her. This guy was nothing but a, well I can't say what I think he was. It's not appropriate it for my blog. But, I absolutely loved the relationship Samantha re-develops with her twin brother, and with Carson.

Oh my Carson! Jennifer L Armentrout fans know she has a talent for writing amazing swoon worthy character chemistry, and these hot boys who sweep readers off their feet. Carson is in a league all by himself. He's all that and more. He's that ever patient best friend who knows her so well, is forgiving of her (though thankfully not right off the bat), helps her cope with all she's dealing with, and loves her. Carson and Samantha have a history together. They were best friends all growing up, and then Samantha's inner mean girl came out, and she treated him so horribly which caused them to drift apart. Luckily that didn't change the fact that deep down they both still felt for each other, though it was masked by her being a you know what to him, and he not dealing with her like that. Seeing them work through that, though she still doesn't remember any if, was great. It reconnected them, and allowed me to see that friendship, trust, and relationship grow. Now, throw in the other side to everything going on, and Carson becomes her protector as well.

Talk about a twisted murder mystery with a shocking betrayal. Jennifer knows how to keep this story rolling. Not once was I able to completely figure out who was behind it all. From the bits and pieces that Samantha started remembering, to her trying to remember more of the events by going to certain places, the weird notes, and someone following her, this story had plenty of thrilling moments. Armentrout did a great job at introducing a variety of characters who could all be seen as the suspect. In uncovering the truth, readers slowly see the bigger picture of everything, and just how far back the troubles go. What an awesome pacing to the story. Nothing is rushed, and everything is unraveled layer by layer, making it easy for me to come up with various theories of what happened, and who could have done it. This is unlike any of Armentrout's previous books, and it's fabulous! Jennifer Armentrout fans will enjoy this one!

Don't Look Back Jennifer L Armentrout Books Reviews

Sammy wakes up bloodied and battered with no recollection of where she is, or how she got there. This is further confounded when she can't even remember her name, or who she is. Her family arrive at the hospital to reclaim her and that doesn't jog her memory. Her brother Scott, his girlfriend Julie and Carson the sorta-boy-next-door all try and help her to piece back the memories of her life. She discovers that she wasn't a very likable person and quickly realizes this is a 'second chance' that most don't get.

Her best friend Cassie is still missing and her body is subsequently discovered prompting the police to begin a murder investigation, with Sammy prime suspect.

Her parents have a non-existent relationship and the family atmosphere is tense, heightened by Sammy's obvious distaste towards long-term boyfriend Del and some serious crushing on Carson.She quickly discards the majority of her so-called friends, who are in the main nasty and bitchy.

Sammy's mind is playing tricks on her as she suffers hallucinations/visions, surges of memory/recollections, eerie images of dead Cassie, and mysterious warning notes that are left in close proximity.

It's no secret that I'm a massive fan of JLA's writing and I adore the Lux, Covenent and Dark Elements series. This is the first contemporary novel I've read from JLA and while I thoroughly enjoyed it, it didn't hook me as much as the other books did. The romance is quite muted compared to her other novels, and I missed that. Because boy can JLA write great romance scenes.

However, she has deftly developed the mystery/suspense theme within this novel and as a reader, you constantly wonder whether Sammy is being told the truth by those around her, and continuously ponder who is trustworthy. I did guess the culprit pretty early on - the clues are subtly embedded throughout the story - but I constantly questioned myself, and switched my mind a few times.

The writing was sublime, and the pacing bang-on, as usual. I don't think the dialogue was as engaging as normal, lacking the humorous/satirical element that is regularly found in her fantasy books, however I felt the characters were a bit more unique and individual as a result.
I finished this book in less than 24 hours, and that says it all really.

Another epic read from writing power-house Jennifer L. Armentrout.
