Review

17 year old prodigy Lain Fisher is a Mindwalker and is able to erase traumatic memories and is driven to do so.

Steven, a fellow classmate and resident outcast asks her to erase the memories from his childhood and the trauma of being kidnapped by a serial killer. As Lain works to erase his memories she comes to believe that they may share a link to the mystery of why her uncle and mother were murdered and her father's death in relation to the Mindwalker Institute where they all worked.

"A recent trauma can be wiped away without affecting someone's personality much, but childhood memories are woven deeply into and individual's identity."

Inevitably Lain and Steven fall in love though the romance angle comes across as a bit weak but still rather sweet.

Easy dystopian read and strong and determined female character make this a good purchase for both the high school and public library.

Overall Book Score: very good
