Stay Awake

A murder she doesn’t remember committing. A killer she doesn’t remember meeting. Stay Awake proves memory can be deadly.

Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When she’s dropped off at the door of her Brooklyn apartment, a stranger answers, claiming to live there. She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to find a bloodstained knife and a scribbled message on her hand: STAY AWAKE.

Alarmed and disoriented, Liv spies a report of a crime where the victim’s blood has been used to scrawl a message on a window--just like the one on her hand. What did she do last night? And why does she remember nothing from the past two years? There’s someone who knows exactly what she did, and they’ll do anything to make her forget--permanently.

Unfolding at breakneck speed, Megan Goldin’s Stay Awake will keep you up all night.
