review 1: A man moves back home after many years. His parents are dead and he's alone in the house he grew up in. He hears a noise and goes to investigate, and realizes it's a sound he hasn't heard since he was a teenager: the sound of pebbles thrown against his window. He looks outside and it's Jesse, his lover from that time. Is this for real? Is she a ghost? She looks and feels real enough, but all her short-term memory is lost; she can only remember him as a teenager, and where they both lived at the time.This is a Kindle book with a great premise, but I think the author got lost towards the end. It did keep my attention until about three-quarters through when the whole thing fell apart for me. I got confused as to who was who, which I guess makes sense, as Jesse didn't know eit... moreher. But .. not recommended.
review 2: Carl was just going through the motions of life when a lover from his past makes a passionate return and for a night, he was a teenager again. But soon Carl realizes there is something wrong and he may be the only one that can help Jesse but when she disappears, he is left wondering if it was really her breath that touched his skin or if he can process the news that she apparently died 3 months ago. Regardless, he has to find out the truth even if he has to question his own sanity to do it. Author Phoef Sutton has created the main character Carl that at the age of 35, has lived long enough to reflect on his accomplishments, but also looks back on a certain amount of regret. He's given the chance to surrender to the pleasures that time could never take away but finds himself in a dangerous situation that turns him from the average guy to a man that will do anything to protect the first love of his life. The story centers on what has truly happened to Jesse whose beauty and innocence reminds all of us how simple our youth was and how sometimes the future becomes a forgotten illusion. As this story unfolds, this author introduces intriguing characters that have their own perceived reality of what they mean to Jesse. These men claim to want the best for her but Mr. Sutton leaves it up to the reader to figure out if their obsession with this woman is because of love, lust or mercy. There are twists and turns in this well written novel that makes this mystery more complex and any one of these theories could be assumed to be the path to the truth. 15 Minutes to Live includes the best and worst that lives in the human heart and chapter after chapter will leave the readers hopeful, a little cynical and inspired. Highly recommend. less
