I had similar issues with the plot holes and inconsistencies but I mainly struggled with the tone. But like other reviewers, the execution did not quite work for me. I loved the premise of this, I love all things SE Harmon and I appreciated this journey into romantic sci-fi thriller. As Chris desperately tries to piece together his former life, he soon discovers he doesn’t like the answers to his questions. Gray, the boyfriend he remembers, tells him they split up years ago while Andy, the guy who claims Chris is his current boyfriend, gives him the creeps.

He suited the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it was easy to tell the characters apart. Narrator comment: Kai Rubio is a new narrator for me and I enjoyed his performance.

It is part of a series so does end on a sort of a cliff-hanger. Once it got going the pace was good, the interaction between the characters was engaging (I really enjoy Christian's snarky personality) and the underlying story is intriguing as Christian tries to put the pieces of his old life together. Chrysalis was not at all what I expected, and is very different to what I thought it would be given the opening chapters. This book isn't a straight "guy wakes up with amnesia" story, there are sci-fi elements wrapped up in Chris's character's past. Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, interesting plot I went into this one knowing nothing more than the brief Publishers Summary which in the grand scheme of the story gives away very little! I found the story a little slow to start, but once Chris's secrets started spilling out I got sucked right in.
