She didn’t realize she was being tragic. On the surface, Annie Powers’s life in a wealthy Floridian suburb is happy and idyllic. Her husband, Gray, loves her fiercely; together, they dote on their beautiful young daughter, Victory. But the bubble surrounding Annie is pricked when she senses that the demons of her past have resurfaced and, to her horror, are now creeping up on her. These are demons she can’t fully recall because of a highly dissociative state that allowed her to forget the tragic and violent episodes of her earlier life as Ophelia March and to start over, under the loving and protective eye of Gray, as Annie Powers. Disturbing events—the appearance of a familiar dark figure on the beach, the mysterious murder of her psychologist—trigger strange and confusing memories for Annie, who realizes she has to quickly piece them together before her past comes to claim her future and her daughter. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very ConfusingAfter reading Lisa Unger's first two books, I was really looking forward to Black Out. But, once I finished the book, I wasn't really sure what I had read. It's disjointed and confusing to say the least and though I don't mind flashbacks, there were so many, that at times I couldn't understand what I was reading. I didn't even enjoy the characters in this book...they didn't feel real to me. If you get it from the library, fine. But, don't buy it! Rating: - Not up to her previous standardsI am a fan of Unger's first two novels. She can write extremely compelling descriptions of both characters and their place within a geographical and social environment. In this story, however, I felt completely disconnected from all the characters (even the main character) and increasingly frustrated as the story progressed. By the end, I wondered if Unger relied too much on her plot twists to save her from the necessity of producing a story that actually completely hangs together. If ... Read More Rating: - What's Real?For those who enjoy reading abnormal psychology texts, this novel will give them something to mull over. It is the story of Annie Powers, a comfortable mother of a young daughter and the wife of a fairly wealthy ex-Navy Seal now partner with his father in a civilian paramilitary company. But she is haunted by her past when she had another name (Ophelia March) and faces frightening memories as she begins to recall them. The book is more complicated than an ordinary thriller, and neither ... Read More Rating: - Lisa Unger Is a Genius! This Is Wonderful Escapist FictionI can't read Lisa Unger's books fast enough... Annie Powers is a wealthy homemaker, happily married to Gray and mother to a beautiful four year old daughter, Victory. But all is not what it seems and there are ghosts and demons from her past haunting her apparently perfect and beautiful life. A lifetime and not very long ago Annie was Ophelia March a young girl living a trouble life on the run with a man she thought she loved. Now the past has intruded on the present ... Read More Rating: - Another great one from UngerI read Lisa Unger's first novel `BEAUTIFUL LIES' and knew on the spot that she was to be a great addition to the mystery/thriller genre. A genre that is mostly comprised of men but with her third novel `BLACK OUT' I truly believe that Lisa has broken through that barrier and is definitely making a name for herself in the mystery/thriller arena. When I read the plot synopsis for `BLACK OUT' I was practically itching to get my hands on a copy. A woman with a past as an accomplice to one of the ... Read More
