ABOUT THE BOOK
Every Time She Wakes is a taut, time-bending thriller about family, identity and defying fate.
When careers counsellor Suze and her family are evacuated from their home during a bushfire emergency, she suddenly realises they're being kidnapped. The van crashes and Suze thinks it's the end. But she wakes up two weeks back in time. No one else remembers the terror that came before. Is it all in her own mind?
Then it happens again. And again.
With every loop, her world twists into a new version of itself. Only Suze remembers what came before. As the danger escalates, she must uncover who is behind the kidnappings—and why—before she runs out of chances to save her family.
