Helpful Score: 2
Short and Sweet:
Unremembered is just plain fun to read. It has a girl with amnesia and strange super-human abilities, a hot mysterious guy, and the ever present 'bad guys' trying to keep them apart. It has a lot of twisty elements that keep each chapter as exciting as the last, and a great cliffhanger that will put the sequel straight on your to-be-read pile.
To Elaborate....
Sera doesn't remember much when she wakes up in the hospital. Even her own violet-eyed appearance. She soon learns that she was sole survivor of a mysterious plane crash. A flight that has no record of her as a passenger. A plane crash in which she suffered virtually zero injuries. But no one can figure out who she is, where she's from, or why she was there. One night, Sera opens her eyes to see a blurry vision of a boy. He promises to 'get her out', but she slips back into sleep and when she wakes next he has disappeared.
When Sera encounters him next he tells her that his name is Zen, that they were in love and that she is in danger. Some part of her instinctually wants to believe him, but she doesn't know who she can trust. However, Zen (the hot guy) is determined to protect her whether she remembers him or not. As Sera tries to quickly make sense of her situation, danger begins closing in on her. She also makes some startling discoveries about her own above-average abilities and has nightmares of things she wishes had remained forgotten.
Unremembered was simply a great book. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Okay, I'll Admit it. I only finished this book so it would count towards my gr reading challenge. Havng said that, it wasn't a terrible book,but it had more potential to be awesome than any awesomeness in its own rite....
My issues with the book:
On one level I felt like Unremembered was trying to do too many things at once,. Also some stuff made no sense...Iike we'd be told the world worked one way, then the MC's would act in the direct opposite way...okay that's sorta vague I know, but being more specific would be spoilery...
The relationship b/w the H and h happens before the book takes place...we don't see any of it...which IMO, makes the romance less...everything. It seems less believable, less impressive, less substantial, less real, less important.. .like a major part of the story's just gone....sort of like the h's memories,....there are ...shades of something good, but they're incomplete...and leave an unsatisfying taste behind.
The book is written like the flashes of memory the heroine lost...one scene, switches to the next, to the next, and to the next after that, and they don't, IMO, transition well.
The world building...only gives a taste of how things are...some of its a little confusing, and some of it...are just hints of info...I'd have liked to learn more.
The bad guy...only really shows up at the end, and is sorta cookie cutter...all those loose ends? His case of verbal diarrhea totally clears some of them up! Seriously, dude could not stop talking!
The h is hard to like. Either she's impossibly naive or she had a few tstl moments...plus, and this is sorta hard to explain , but im gonna try...,in the beginning, the hero would try to give her (and us!) Info, and her response was continually... I don't wanna think about it! so the info we'd get, would abruptly be cut short.
And on one hand, I really liked that the heroine wasn't an extension of the Hero...she was her own person, doing her own thing ...but....
Unremembered was hard to read without the hero's pov...as it is, he comes off as a pansy ass...he loves the heroine so much, he leaves her to her own devices? Repeatedly? He knows she's in danger...knows some bad dudes are after her, and doesn't try harder to get her to listen to him? If we'd seen in his head, gotten some first pov from him, actually gotten a taste of his suffering, and his struggling, maybe I'd have bought into his hotness...instead, it feels like he makes a half assed effort, into getting her to accept what he has to tell her, than gives up until she's more or less forced to accept/ confront it.
Okay, 2 stars...and for grammar fanatics, there are a few glaringly obvious typos.

I really liked this, but it does have some flaws. I found myself questioning some things and shaking my head at some things. It is good overall and I'll read the next to see if it will be better.
