Summary
In this unforgettable psychological thriller, the dark is a terrifying mystery for a woman on the edge.
Seven hard-won months into her sobriety, sociology professor Maris Heilman has her first blackout. She chalks it up to exhaustion, though she fears that her husband and daughter will suspect she’s drinking again. Whatever their cause, the glitches start becoming more frequent. Sometimes minutes, sometimes longer, but always leaving Maris with the same disorienting question: Where have I been?
Then another blackout lands Maris in the ER, where she makes an alarming discovery. A network of women is battling the same inexplicable malady. Is it a bizarre coincidence or something more sinister? What do all the women have in common besides missing time? Or is it who they have in common?
In a desperate search for answers, Maris has no idea what’s coming next—just the escalating paranoia that her memories may be beyond her control, and that everything she knows could disappear in the blink of an eye.

Critic reviews
"Flanagan keeps the reader guessing to the surprising climax. She remains a writer to watch.”—Publishers Weekly
“Intense and creepy, Blackout is a slow-burn thriller that explores the intersection of cutting-edge technology and the Me Too movement. You won’t be able to put Blackout down until you find out how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together!”—Aggie Blum Thompson, author of I Don’t Forgive You

Absolute drivel
Not any part of this book was enjoyable, from the extremely irritating American accent to the weird and silly storyline.
The main character is so sickly sweet and unlikable, the daughter and husband don't have any real part to play.
The main story concerning the blackouts has so many leaps into the next stage you feel like you've blacked out and missed part of the story.
The overall story is not 'terrifying' it's laughable.
