Brandy's Book Nook: Review Remembrance audio book by Heather Hildenbrand

Remembrance by Heather Hildenbrand ✩✩✩✩✩ This book is about a girl named Samantha. She has lost her memory of something that happened to her, and it was so traumatizing it has changed her entire personality. She lives in fear and she doesn't know why. Alex is a werewolf hunter who has been poisoned by werewolf venom, and it is slowly killing him. The last thing Alex expects is to run into Sam as he searches for a cure, and his lies start to unwind as he finds she is the key to his survival.
