On the outside, Annie Power’s life looks perfect. Her amazing husband, Gray, and their precious daughter, Victory, make her life complete. That is, until flashbacks of her once forgotten past come into focus. You see, ten years ago Annie was Ophelia March, a young, naïve teen caught in the web of an infamous serial killer, Marlowe Geary. Gray rescues Ophelia, and in the process, murders Geary. Ophelia “died” and Annie was born. The emotional and physical trauma caused Annie to forget most of what occurred. But one thing she knows for certain-they never found the body of her boyfriend, the serial killer. Annie thought she was rid of this horrid past, but slowly people around her begin to die. She hears her former name being called from the shadows. People she trusted turn out to be her enemies. A local police detective begins to dig into her past and comes close to finding out the truth. Annie soon discovers that Geary is not dead, and she is willing to give up her life to find the answers to what happened that night a decade ago. Unger does an amazing job of revealing the character’s history to the reader. It is unraveled slowly and methodically. I was engrossed in the storyline from page one, this was a book I couldn’t put down. Black Out was definitely an intense tale that chilled me to the bone!
