Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules at Books and a Beat. Anyone can play along.
I have just started reading The Girl from the Sea by Shalini Boland. A young woman washes up on the beach with retrograde amnesia; no idea who she is or how she got there. I have just barely started, but so far it is well-written and believable. Something awful happened to Mia; she has waking dreams of the attack that may have preceded her near-drowning, and she has uneasy feelings of impending doom and a general distrust of people around her.
No, I don’t remember anyone. Just the woman who found me on the beach. She had a dog, I think. Poppy. That’s the dog’s name. She wore glasses. The woman, I mean, not the dog.’ I give a short strangled laugh. I must sound like a lunatic. ‘Sorry,’ I add.
The Girl from the Sea, Shalini Boland
Washed up on the beach, she can’t remember who she is. She can’t even remember her name. Turns out, she has a perfect life – friends and family eager to fill in the blanks.
But why are they lying to her? What don’t they want her to remember?
Memory-related themes do interest me, so this can certainly be of interest. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on releasing another book! And that is one intriguing teaser!
Definitely a mystery I would like to see uncovered.
What a situation to be in!
Amnesia stories are always so interesting. I wonder what the truth is and why everyone is lying . . . I’m definitely intrigued. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds really good! I hope you are enjoying it. My teaser this week comes from the latest Otherworld anthology – Otherworld Chills by Kelley Armstrong. Happy reading!
This one sounds really good – I normally don’t like the ‘turns up with lost memory’ scenario, but this has grabbed me. Probably that fabulous cover has also helped. Are you enjoying it?
I am past the halfway point now, and I am really hoping that there is a good plot twist, as right now there is one really obvious solution to the mystery. I’m hoping it is a red herring and not the author telegraphing the plot!
Okay… yes… didn’t see that twist coming…
Looks great! Here’s mine: https://booksbeforebandaids.com/2016/10/04/teaser-tuesday-october-4/
OHHH! This sounds really good. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

This is a very intriguing book! That cover is really striking as well and makes me want to know more about the mysterious reasons for her washing up on a beach. Thanks for sharing!
If her life was so perfect, how did this happen to her? Got me curious to know now:)
