Description from Goodreads:
"A chilling tale about life flashing before your eyes—including terrifying scenes you don’t remember.
When Damon survives a near-drowning, his life flashes before his eyes. Every memory is crystal clear—except one. A dead boy. A face he can’t place. A moment he doesn’t remember living. At first he tells himself it’s a trick of the mind. But everything else he saw was real. So why not this?
With his waking life stalked by the disturbing scene, confusion quickly turns to obsession. Desperate for answers, Damon digs into his fractured past, and becomes convinced that the only way to remember…is to die again. And again. And again. When he meets a perfect stranger who’s all too willing to help, the stage is set for his dice with death.
But if this is what it takes to uncover the truth, maybe some memories are better left buried…"

I’ve just finished reading Dead in the Water and honestly, John Marrs has done it again. This is actually the third book of his that I’ve read and enjoyed now, so I was really keen to dive into this one. If you’ve read his stuff before, you know what you're in for and this definitely didn't disappoint on that front.
The story is really chilling and follows Damon, who survives a near-drowning only to be haunted by a memory of a dead boy he doesn't recognise. The pacing is good and the chapters are short, which always makes me tell myself "just one more" before I end up staying up way too late finishing it. I loved how the tension kept building as Damon became more obsessed with his fractured past.
The concept of him having to "die" again and again to recover his memories was so dark and gripping. It’s exactly the kind of "what would I do?" scenario that keeps you hooked from the first page to the last. There were a couple of moments where I had to suspend my disbelief a little bit - but that's part of the fun with a thriller like this - it’s a great read.
If you’re looking for something that’s easy to get into but hard to put down, I’d definitely recommend giving this a go.
