About this listen

Some memories are meant to be forgotten—especially when they’re not yours. In this medical thriller series, Psychiatrist Cristina Silva is achieving miracles by prescribing a new memory-recovery drug. Until one of her patients jumps from an eight-story window to his death.

Book 1: Adverse Effects

Boston psychiatrist Cristina Silva understands her patients’ suffering better than most, because she’s lost her memories, too. Desperate to become herself again, she pops the same experimental drug she prescribes to her patients. And, like them, she remembers a little more each day. Until one of her patients, a successful accountant, jumps to his death. And as Cristina’s memories return, with them come violent visions and an incessant voice in her head. Maybe the drug isn’t safe after all. Then an enigmatic, possibly dangerous man appears at Cristina’s bus stop. He seems to know more about her life than she does and says she holds a secret that puts her life in danger. If she wants to survive, Cristina must stay on the medication and unlock those memories before it’s too late—even if the adverse effects of the drug could destroy her.

Book 2: Toxic Effects

Neuropsychiatrist Cristina Silva receives a startling phone call from her contact at the FBI: an assassin is crisscrossing the country, killing anyone connected to the now-defunct pharmaceutical company ReMind—people like Cristina. The literal femme fatale known as Dama Branca is unsure what’s preventing her from killing Cristina, but she senses their fates are entwined—with any luck, not fatally. Cristina’s spurned lover, Wilson, is investigating the suspicious deaths of local teens, and there are now terrified whispers of a hooded boogeyman called Sack Man. And when Cristina’s in danger, Wilson is never far away. With at least one killer in their wake, they must quickly determine what’s real and what’s not. Unlocking Cristina’s memories could save many lives—her own included.

A little hokey

The first book’s narration was extremely monotone. “Sackman” kind of feels like a little kid’s imagination
Ok read not great.

Poor performance

The story was interesting, but performance left much to be desired. Two readers that only read. Did not get into characters and make them live. Gave them 5 hours of my time hoping would get better, finally abandoned the whole story.
