A harrowing psychological thriller debut about a woman who awakens after an assault with no physical proof of the attack and who must try to convince everyone of what really happened.

When Dr. Alex Taylor opens her eyes, she is hooked up to an IV, is bound to an operating table, and her legs are raised in stirrups. Disoriented and alarmed, she assumes she's been anesthetized and brought to surgery after being in an accident. But the man standing over her, with his face hidden behind a surgical mask and wielding instruments, is no doctor she recognizes at the hospital where she works as a successful and respected doctor. He’s a stranger—and he’s calmly and methodically telling her how he's about to attack her. Before Alex can even scream for help, she succumbs to another dose of anesthesia, rendering her unable to defend herself….

When she comes to on a gurney, she finds herself surrounded by her colleagues and immediately reports the attack and rape. The police are skeptical of her bizarre story. And after a physical exam reveals no proof of any attack, even her boyfriend has doubts. Despite Alex's adamant claims, no one believes her, leaving her to wonder if she has, in fact, lost her mind.

Until she meets the next victim…

An edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller, Don't Wake Up is also a provocative, timely exploration of victimhood, abuse, and the discrediting of women in our culture.

I love a book that gets you hooks in the first couple of pages and after reading the reviews that are exactly what I expected and the reason I picked up the book to begin with! 

Aside from the fact pace of the story, it did engage me but I had a sense of who the antagonist was as soon as they entered the scene. You do continue to question the motives of each character but not enough to surprise you when it all unfolds.

I also had a hard time with the reason the enemy was out to get Alex in the first place. It felt like a stretch and not thoroughly thought out.

Don't Wake Up A Novel Liz Lawler 9780062876133 Books Reviews

This novel was amazing! It was a heart-pounding, edge-of-my-seat thrill ride. I found myself wondering if Alex Taylor was going to die by the end of the book. Through the length of the novel, I wondered if the doctor had hallucinated the entire experience and was going mad. The writing was crisp and polished, the action non-stop and full-throttle. Ms. Lawyer created sympathetic and believable characters, and a tightly-woven plot. For a first novel, the author created a stunning read. Although there was a bit of a cliff-hanger at the conclusion, for the most part, all the loose ends were tied together. I can't wait to read Ms. Lawler's second novel.
Very imaginative plot. The heroine questions her sanity, but knows that she isn't crazy. The villain was unexpected and the motive in the plot is interesting and unexpected.
Love the book. Amazing story. Could not put it down. The narrator was awful. No depth, no emotion just rambling on. Stopped narration
and read it for myself. Awesomeness
This started a bit Wild and got progressively wilder. The characters were well thought out and I could picture each one. There are some grisly scenes but the suspense had my heart racing. Honestly racing. If you like suspense and trying to pick the killer, this is the book.
This book had me on the edge of my seat. It is full of twist and turns and its a great psychological thriller. I sure hope she writes a sequel to this book because I loved the characters and would like to know what happens to them. You think you know whats going on but then it twist again. Could not put this book down.
I haven't read anything this good in the medical thriller category since "Coma". This has non-stop action and was written very well. The characters were described very realistically and you never knew who the killer was until the end. I would highly recommend this to any thriller lovers.
The fact that the setting for this book is in an ER of a large hospital makes it interesting. We get to see the inside workings of the hospital and staff.
As far as the rest of the book, the plot was somewhat unbelievable especially at the end when all the loose pieces come together. For the most part the characters weren't well developed ....even their physical descriptions were minimal. So the reader isn't very emotionally invested. That leaves the plot which reads like a made for tv horror movie. The entire plot revolves around a female doctor who appears to have been abducted and strapped down in an operating room by a psychotic person threatening to do her physical harm. Later on she's found lying on the hosp grounds, shaken up but not physically injured.
No one believes her story and she's quickly labeled as mentally unstable having imagined/ dreamed the whole event. As the plot continues on as she is alienated by her husband, colleagues and friends. In addition, her behavior is erratic and she has a history of psych problems due to a traumatic event n her past.
And there you have it. The twist at the end seems contrived and falls flat. But the author does manage to keep you guessing throughout the entire book whether it really happened or was all imagined.
In my opinion that was the only redeemable aspect of this book.
Would not highly reccomend
