After a medical procedure to erase her memory, Emily has no idea about herself, her past or her reasons for this drastic step. Unfortunately, she can't take this for long, and soon starts invesitgating about herself. Emily soon finds out about her special ancestry and the hard fate that comes with it: being ruthlessly hunted. Emily's search for answers leads her across Europe and into a world she actually wanted to protect herself from.

This started out as an interesting story, but then got worse and worse. At the beginning, I was quite intrigued about Emily's past, wondered if the things others told her were true and was excited to continue listening. Then it slowly went downhill: We read about a woman who erased her memory and then is pissed that she can't remember anything - well, duh. Talking about Emily, it often was hard to bare how very naive she is and how little she thinks ahead (or maybe it's just me being over reading about 20-year-olds). Then there is this special group of of ancestors: In my opinion they are just written horribly, talking like they're old, mature and experienced - and then they are 17 or 18 years old. And what do they do all day, when they are not just obnoxiously talking about their hard lives and fates? Yes, right, they party hard, every single night; because obviously this is the best way to avoid being hunted (or something like that - at this point it got so stupid that sometimes I just zoned out). After this it didn't get any better, I couldn't get myself to care about the investigation at all, it was boring and repetitive, fueled by Emily's stupidity. One last complaint (which actually is a me-problem): I just hate it when a book ends on a cliffhanger. Tosca Lee, you want me to buy the next book? Sorry, I won't.

Note on the English audiobook: Please let that women never again do any accents!

Wouldn't recommend this one, but maybe, in the far future, I would consider reading another book by Tosca Lee, as far as it is on a very different topic.
