THE EDGE OF RECALL by Kristen Heitzmann has twists and turns that resemble the very Labyrinths Tessa Young creates.
Tessa Young is a landscape architect whose specialty is Labyrinths.When she is called on by Smith Chandler, a former colleague and love interest to help him with the project of a lifetime, she can’t refuse.But Tessa has more problems than trying to deny her inner feelings for Smith.Haunted her entire life by nightmares of mazes, monsters, and desertion, this new project has her subconscious working on overtime.With the help of her therapist, Tessa tries to uncover what it is she has blocked from her memory.As she works to reconstruct the Colonial-era labyrinth, flashes of memory begin to resurface.She feels the labyrinth holds the key to her nightmares.Or are her nightmares coming to life?
I am not a sci-fi or fantasy reader so I didn’t know if I could embrace a story that had such a mystical overtone.But since Kristen Heitzmann is one of my favorite authors, I knew I had to give it a try.I am so glad I did.I thoroughly enjoyed THE EDGE OF RECALL.It captivated me, pulling me in as Tessa struggled to find answers from her past.At times I was frustrated with Tessa’s hot and cold running feelings for Smith but it only made me want to read further to see if these two characters would ever be able to overcome the obstacles they put on themselves.
