Cora should remember every detail about the night her stepsister, Hannah, fell down a flight of stairs to her death, especially since her Cerepin—a sophisticated brain-computer interface—may have recorded each horrifying moment. But when she awakens after that night, her memories gone, Cora is left with only questions—and dread of what the answers might mean.
When a downward spiral of self-destruction forces Cora to work with an AI counselor, she finds an unexpected ally, even as others around her grow increasingly convinced that Hannah’s death was no accident. As Cora’s dark past swirls chaotically with the versions of Hannah’s life and death that her family and friends want to believe, Cora discovers the disturbing depths of what some people may do—including herself.
With her very sanity in question, Cora is forced to face her greatest fear. She will live or die by what she discovers.

REVIEW
What a wild, crazy ride Uncanny takes readers on. After reading the synopsis, it's clear that there's a mystery on hand - what happened the night Hannah died and why doesn't Cora remember any of it.
We dive immediately into the story on page one, with Cora struggling to make sense of what happened when her memory is gone. She knows bits and pieces from what others have told her, but she lacks crucial memories and its making her question everything.
With her family pushing her to remember the details, and her own mind seemingly turning agains her, Cora tries to piece everything together - but while she's adding two and two, she's not getting four and she's starting to wonder just what her own mind is hiding from her.
Uncanny has many twists and turns, showing us moments from the past leading us up to the memories of that fatal night - only things aren't always what they seem. For some characters - there is plenty of secrets and lots to hide. This story is about so much more than a mystery, filled with questions and details leading you one direction while showing you something else. When the truth comes out - who will be left standing?
