Summary

She's the cure that could save him. If only she could remember how.

Two years ago, 20 year-old Samantha Knight experienced a life-altering trauma. Unfortunately, she can't remember what it was. Previously outgoing, fun, and carefree - it's as if someone flipped a switch on Sam's insides. Now, she's afraid of everything, socially awkward, and convinced she's going crazy. As Beyoncé would say, she woke up like this. Sam tries her best to juggle college classes, work, and the nosiest roommate ever, but behind the curtain, Sam's life is all about keeping a firm grip on her own mind. And life is kicking her ass.

Alex Channing has only one enemy in this world: werewolves. Born and raised to fight in the supernatural military, he has become an expert at hunting and killing rabid werewolves. But when Alex is bitten and infected, he finds himself racing against a ticking clock for his own survival.

Alex's search for a cure leads him to an oracle in a seaside town in California. And she gives him the reading of a lifetime. The key to his cure is a girl who forgets things, cries spontaneously, and might just be insane. And the only way she can save him is to do the one thing Alex knows is impossible: She has to remember.

Book 1 in the highly anticipated Heart Lines series, a spin-off of the best-selling and award-winning Dirty Blood series. Note: you do not have to read Dirty Blood first. You can start here!

Review

Absolutely wonderful story it was so good I listened to it in on sitting. It was riveting, I love the authors work and she has excelled herself with this start to a new series. The presenter reads beautifully and really did the story justice. I am looking forward immensely to listening to the next part of the story.

Excellent

Another book I’ve had for ages and wish I had listened to sooner.
Alex was bitten by a werewolf and he needs a cure and ironically the one person who can cure him is Sam who he betrayed yet she doesn’t know it. Sam thinks she is broken but she doesn’t know she had her memories wiped after a werewolf attack and Alex was there although he didn’t agree with what her friends did to her.
Loved this story and Sam and Alex and hoping Alex gets the stick out his ass and admits to Sam how he feels for her before it’s too late.

Good Beginning

It took me a little bit to get into this story but once I did the story moved rather quickly, especially closer to the end.

There’s a lot of mystery surrounding Sam and her missing memories. She also has a strange aversion to men and dogs.
As the story unfolds and secrets are revealed it’s discovered that Alex and Sam have a connection and that he’s secretly loved her for a while.
Alex might even hold the key to figuring out what happened to Sams memories and coincidentally she might be the only one who can save Alex but will his guilt keep that from happening? Will it keep them apart?

At first I wasn’t a huge fan of Sam but as her character developed and changed I found myself growing fonder of her.
I liked Alex. He’s a great character.
The two complement each other. They both represent the shining light in the darkness for one another.
I enjoyed going on this journey with them and look forward to finding out what the next book has in store for the two.(3.5⭐️)

Good story

The story did start out a little slow but it was interesting. I was hooked in the few minutes because why on earth would she willing chew Bella donna? But then you have to keep listening to figure out why. Good listen. I enjoyed the narrator.

Great character and world building

I received a free audio copy of this book directly from the author for an honest review.

After a bit of a slower start but great character building and world building the second half of the book I absolutely loved which throws you into a whirlwind of intrigue and a fair few answers. Although probably a bit slower than I prefer the start gave a great opportunity to introduce the main characters and show just who Alex and Sam are. Definitely felt I missed things at times so kind of wished I’d read dirty blood first but it is ( I assume)all shared by the end of the book! I really enjoyed how Sam’s anxiety was portrayed especially when someone assumed she would break down she pulled up her big girl pants and was like nu uh I can do this just to prove you wrong (it’s so me that it’s totally relatable for me!) I definitely will be looking for the next book and quite likely the dirty blood series too as I find the books very interesting.

Good story, well read

I don't listen to many books, as I read much faster. This made me slow down, to relax more.
A good story, well read. I'll get the next book :)

A witches call Book 1

This is the first book in this series and is focusing more on Sam trying to recover her lost memories which is having an effect on her other memories, there is a bigger story still to be told. With witch's, ware wolves and hunter's it has good potential, why are some ware wolves going rogue and why are they drawn to Sam.....and can she help Alex as I am sure he still has more to do in future books. I enjoyed listening to the story.

First instalment in the Heart Line series

“This is your path,” she said softly. “You have the goddess inside you - a second spirit that werewolves and Hunters alike must yield to. You are the goddess incarnate. You have come to right the balance.” - Mirabelle

Two years ago, Samantha Knight experienced a life altering trauma. Unfortunately she can’t remember what it was. Gone is the outgoing carefree girl of yesteryear to be replaced by a jittery anxious and socially awkward woman who suffers panic attacks around men and dogs and is convinced she is being watched. While juggling classes, Sam works for Mirabelle, a medium at The Oracle. Despite the strange occurrences around her, Sam is in denial of the supernatural community in general.

Enter Alex Channing, a Hunter who is searching for a cure for the werewolf venom that is slowly killing him. His quest brings him to seek out Mirabelle in the hopes that she will have the answers. He’s surprised to run into Samantha Knight, even more so when he sees how much she’s changed in the two years since he last saw her. Because Alex knows exactly what happened to her that night and why she has no memory of the trauma she suffered. Worst of all, the answer to his cure is dependent on her remembering that night and who she really is...

Remembrance is the first instalment of the Heart Line series and was also my first introduction to the author. The series is apparently a spin off of the Dirty Blood series which I have not read. While other readers made assurances that this would not be an issue, I personally found it a disadvantage as I struggled to understand and empathise with some of the characters who had been so firmly established in the previous series.

Remembrance briefly introduces the characters and touches on the world building. I’m glad that the author chose to tell the story from both Sam and Alex’s point of view as it offered better insight. Alex is a hunter who has been bitten and infected by a werewolf and is desperately searching for a cure or he’ll die. He arrives in Half Moon Bay to seek out Mirabelle, an Oracle on the chance she’ll provide answers. He meets Sam and there’s a spark of recognition on her part but due to a trauma she’s forgotten as a result of a memory wipe, she doesn’t know who he is.

At the same time we learn that something is attracting rabid werewolves to Half Moon Bay and Sam may be reason why. It appears that centuries ago, werewolves and Hunters were created through magic in order to maintain a balance between the two. When the god and goddess died, the magic was left in the hands of humans for safekeeping. Ultimately the magic is passed through the bloodline of the original humans gifted from the goddess. The bloodline keeps the magic alive on this plane. Sam’s family can be traced back to the goddess line meaning she is the answer to curing Alex.

Having listened to the audible version of this book, I did struggle to understand where the author was going with her story at first. This made Sam’s fear and confusion about what was happening around her relatable. It will be interesting to see what the author has in store for her now that her memory has returned. Kelly Pruner, the narrator made it easy to differentiate between the different characters.
