An unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of Six Minutes and The Last Trace.
'Every Time She Wakes is gripping, unsettling and impossible to put down. With each time loop, the tension escalates and the stakes become heartbreakingly personal. A brilliant race against fate and time. I'll be adding this to my 'most often recommended' list.' Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of Mad Mabel
Every Time She Wakes is a taut, time-bending thriller about family, identity and defying fate.
When careers counsellor Suze and her family are kidnapped from their home during a bushfire emergency, she thinks it's the end-until the van crashes and sends her two weeks back in time.
But only Suze remembers the terror that came before. Then it happens again. And again.
With every loop, her world twists into a new version of itself. Suze must work out why this is happening and who is behind the kidnappings. But she's running out of time to save her family and wake up in a world she recognises.
'Every Time She Wakes is a clever, propulsive thriller that plays brilliantly with time and tension.' Christian White, author, The Long Night
'Every Time She Wakes is a compelling crime thriller with a reality-bending mystery at its heart - why does Suzanna Vitale keep waking up in different versions of her life? With this twisty and surprising book, Petronella McGovern has delivered a fierce war-cry for anyone who has ever sacrificed themselves to keep the peace. I was bewitched by the narrator's situation and the plot's relentless momentum. Ultimately this book feels like sweet justice in a world where some people manage to consistently evade consequences. McGovern asks the most important question: what would you do differently?' Hayley Scrivenor, author, Dirt Town and Girl Falling
'Every Time She Wakes is original, propulsive and takes a forensic lens to the emotional load of women's daily lives. McGovern seamlessly blends family drama with high octane stakes, where the world is literally and figuratively burning, and nothing is quite what it seems.' Vanessa McCausland, author, The Last Illusion of Paige White
'Readers, I am so jealous of every one of you who gets to experience this mind-blowing, utterly compulsive gem for the first time. Cancel your plans, get comfy, and enjoy!' Dinuka McKenzie, author, Tipping Point
'Suspenseful, taut and completely riveting! This clever time-bending thriller crackles with tension from the first page and doesn't let up until the last. Petronella McGovern is a master of enthralling, thought-provoking mysteries filled with characters you thoroughly invest in, and Every Time She Wakes is one of her best yet!' Rae Cairns, author, Dying to Know
