Dark Prayer - Natasha Mostert - 4 stars

I got this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. The book sounded intriguing to me since it had to do with memories. I find that topic rather interesting so I was really happy to discover this book for review.

In this book we have Eloise Blake who is running from a life she has no idea existed previously due to memory loss linked to dissociative fugue state. Jack is then contacted by his somewhat overly arrogant father requesting him to help Daniel out with his ward who happens t be Eloise. He is asked to help her to rediscover a past life while at the same time discovers that Eloise's life is at risk from some other force.

I really enjoyed this story a lot. I liked the surprise, the excitement and the mystery that surrounded this story along with the lust and greed of outside influences for the sake of science. I found the premise of this story intriguing and found myself trying to imagine a life such as this. Living a completely different life while having lived a different life in the past without even being aware of it. It all came together so well. It is such an engaging story, very thought provoking as well.

I really liked Eloise and Jack a lot. Those were my favorite characters. I loved the trust that was formed between them. As far as the rest of the characters go they were actually pretty cold hearted and cared only for the science aspect of things. I think the characters were all developed nicely, plenty about them to love and hate.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes both science and mystery. Two great elements that came together to tell an amazing story. "One step at a time, but every step forward."
