Every Time She Wakes - Petronella McGovern
An unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of Six Minutes and The Last Trace.
'Every Time She Wakes is gripping, unsettling and impossible to put down. With each time loop, the tension escalates and the stakes become heartbreakingly personal. A brilliant race against fate and time. I'll be adding this to my 'most often recommended' list.' Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of Mad Mabel
Every Time She Wakes is a taut, time-bending thriller about family, identity and defying fate.
When careers counsellor Suze and her family are evacuated from their home during a bushfire emergency, she suddenly realises they're being kidnapped. The van crashes and Suze thinks it's the end.
But she wakes up two weeks back in time. No one else remembers the terror that came before. Is it all in her own mind?
Then it happens again. And again.
With every loop, her world twists into a new version of itself. Suze must discover why it's happening and who is behind the kidnappings. She's running out of time to save her family and wake up in a world she recognises.
A twisty page-turner about how far we'll go to protect what matters most.
'Every Time She Wakes is a clever, propulsive thriller that plays brilliantly with time and tension.' Christian White, author, The Long Night
'Every Time She Wakes is a compelling crime thriller with a reality-bending mystery at its heart – why does Suzanna Vitale keep waking up in different versions of her life? With this twisty and surprising book, Petronella McGovern has delivered a fierce war-cry for anyone who has ever sacrificed themselves to keep the peace. I was bewitched by the narrator's situation and the plot's relentless momentum. Ultimately this book feels like sweet justice in a world where some people manage to consistently evade consequences. McGovern asks the most important question: what would you do differently?' Hayley Scrivenor, author, Dirt Town and Girl Falling
