Description

You can hear his every thought. But he can hear yours too…

When Elijah suggests going to OneMind to celebrate their ten-year anniversary, Anna is dubious about getting the implant that will allow them to hear each other’s thoughts. However, she’s eager to please him, and to make up for the fact she can’t give him what he really wants, she agrees to take this step towards the ultimate intimacy.

And at first things are great. Anna feels closer to her husband, and the novelty of communicating mind to mind is a thrill. But then she develops a strange side effect and begins having dreams that aren’t dreams, but memories. Memories that aren’t hers. And if Anna is now seeing Elijah’s memories, what if he can see hers? Will he discover what she’s kept buried in her past?

Desperate to keep the truth from her husband, Anna’s mind becomes a prison she can’t escape. How long can she keep the traitorous thoughts at bay before she drives herself mad?

A clever exploration of toxic relationships, power imbalances, and privacy from an exciting new voice in the high-concept thriller space.

Publisher Review

Original and compelling to the extreme - I raced through it -- Debbie Howells, author of THE BONES OF YOU 'Fantastic ... the tension was exquisite ... I can't remember feeling this on edge. It takes real skill to extract that level of emotional reaction from a reader ... Carys Green has pulled it off superbly' -- Natalie Chandler, bestselling author of BELIEVE ME NOT Tapping into my existing paranoia about where technology is headed, Green took my fears of inevitable AI intrusion, fused them with romantic toxicity and thereby eradicated any possibility of sleep. Like a OneMind chip, Always on my Mind got under my skin and refused to let me rest until the story's end! Utterly chilling. -- Amy Beashel, author of SPILT MILK
