About this listen

From the multi-million copy bestselling author comes 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 loved this novel. It was so fun to read and so many fun twists, most I didn't see coming. John Marrs never disappoints!! 5 stars all around and my first one for 2026! Definitely recommend!

I really prefer his future series but this one was worth the credit. I do find he can have one too many twists but it certainly keeps it engaging. Hoping his next one is another dystopian.

A familiar face!

Great narrators, predictable and ridiculous plot. You can guess what is going to happen miles away, other than some twists that feel thrown in just for the sake of it. Silly is the best word for it all
