Interesting story from Josh Lanyon. Don't Look Back had my attention from the first pages. A theft? An attack? Loss of memory? I was just as curios as Peter was to find out what happened. Well, the matter was more urgent for Peter.

Apart from the theft I was curious about Peter's private life as well, which seemed to be in shambles. A cop who obviously knew more than he let on, a married best friend who he had feelings for, and being accused of theft? So much happening already.

I enjoyed reading how everything came together and how Peter managed to figure out what the people around him meant to him. Trying to make sense out of his own life was very interesting to me. Peter had to investigate himself and he did a pretty good job.

I would like to think the outcome would have been the same even without the amnesia. The conclusions Peter reached in the end had already formed in his mind previous to the attack and I liked him so I don't want to believe he wouldn't have had the guts to do what he knew was right and to grab what he wanted.

I liked Mike too, he was pretty awesome, but I would have also liked more of him. And of him together with Peter. I don't feel like I spent enough time with the main characters and that's the only minus from me, because otherwise the novel was great.
