Frelick – Review by Melissa Saxton
I’ll admit, I am not a huge Sci-Fi reader, but this book was awesome. I was invested from the very beginning. As if missing three hours of your life wasn’t confusing enough, the sequence of events that follow as Asia tries to uncover what happened and why was a roller coaster of emotion, action, and romance that I will definitely be reading again! The characters are all so complex and beautifully written, making it so easy to get hooked into the story. If you are thinking of taking a chance on this book, then my advice would be get a comfortable chair, a nice snack, and a warm beverage because when you start this book, you definitely wont want to put it down.

So let me tell you how book five makes way more sense now. This is an amazing series I need to read them all. This author is so dynamic I could not imagine everyone not reading this. If you love SCI-FI this is for you 100%. The romance and adventure its so dramatic that it seriously sucks you in. This author is masterful at world building. Read all of the books in order and you will not regret it. Don’t give up on this, there comes a point that the story lines all jumble wand chaos breaks out within the plot because it is so complex. I am guessing this entire series is just an add on of the story before. It is everything. I wish I read them in order. Five stars. Worth every word.

Intriguing and compelling A very unexpected find and the first book I have read by this author. I absolutely loved it. The characters were well developed and the concept was fascinating. A sci-fi romance thriller, I was glued to each page. The writing while descriptive, allows for the reader to make the connections. There are a lot of emotions involved which tugged a bit at my heartstrings. An excellent series starter that left me wanting more.

Frelick – Review by Rayne East
This is an edge of your seat romance with a sci-fi twist. I’ve never read a sci-fi romance before and I am so happy that I did and that this was my first one. This story absolutely sucked me in from the very first page. Poor Asia randomly loses three entire hours of her life and when she comes to, she realizes that everything that matters to her is suddenly gone. No mother should ever have to go through what she did. On her quest for answers and peace she ends up meeting Ethan who comes to mean so much more to her than simply a psychiatrist. The energy between them both from their very first meeting is magical and I absolutely loved watching them grow closer. There is so much mystery and danger that you never know what will happen next. The ending for this book was beautiful and this is a book that you definitely don’t want to miss.

I love a good story. Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick is certainly that and more. She has created characters that all of us can easily identify with and trust me, Asia and Ethan are people you will not forget and won’t want to forget. You can get so caught up with these characters that you find yourself talking to them. Intrigue and suspense abound and if you like a good hot and steamy story this is one that will satisfy. All I can say is bring on the next one in this series. Can’t wait.

Unchained Memory (The Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick
This book was an incredible read. I was drawn in from the beginning and I had a difficult time putting it down. The details in this story were so vivid that I felt like I was right in it. This is the kind of story that makes you think these people are real and this is really happening, and that makes this an exceptional book by an exceptional author. I loved the characters in this book and the love story between Asia and Ethan. This book packs a punch with mystery, danger, aliens, and love. I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say that this is a must read that you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the next one!

Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick was a thrilling science fiction read. I would give this book a five out of five. I was hooked from the first chapter. Asia is a strong character that I just loved reading about. She was a fighter and you could see it through the trauma she dealt with. Ethan was a crushing read, I had so much empathy for his character. I could barely put this book down, I enjoyed the story building and while a long read it was well worth the story.

Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick (The Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1) My rating 4 out of 5 stars
This book was a wonderful read. Not normally my style but I got hooked. The characters are very well written and the storyline is incredible. A nice mix of romance, action and sci fi.
I really liked the character of Asia, she is such a strong woman and that really shows with her determination to fight and regain her memories. Ethan was touch and go for a while but, I grew to like him and, more importantly, liked him for Asia. All of the drama and action revolving around this couple such as the kidnappers and alien abductions makes for a crazy ride, and I enjoyed every moment.
I would recommend this book, there is so much going on and various twists and turns the book takes that anyone will become addicted to the story.

Frelick – Review by Carrie Reed
First off, I’d like to give Kudos to this author for choosing a book cover that had characters that perfectly matched their written description. So many times I will be engrossed in a book and learn the girl character has long brown hair… just to close the book and see a blonde girl on the cover. Now I’ll commence my review. Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick is the first book of the Interstellar Rescue Series. I read this novel as a challenge to myself, as it made me step way out of my comfort zone, because I have never read any book that truly contained science fiction elements. I’m thrilled to say that I am happy with the book I chose. I have no regrets in getting this book, nor was it hard for me to read it. The book starts with Asia who has suffered a tremendous loss and can’t remember what she did for the three hours in the meantime. She starts seeing a therapist, Ethan, who is trying to help her either remember what happened during those hours or realize its insignificance and move on. During their sessions they start to develop deeper feelings for one another. Ultimately things get hard for them as they have people that start following them. As they run, they find out more and more of the truth. This book had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I adored the relationship between Asia and Ethan. As soon as I thought I knew what was going to happen next I would turn the page and be shocked to my core. I was so emotionally invested in this book, that after putting it down at night to sleep, my mind would run over all the scenarios. Donna is a brilliant author. Her character descriptions were immaculate and the story line just contained sooo much and it just flowed together effortlessly.

Its a fantastic fantasy adventure which keeps you hooked from page one.

Frelick – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
I give Unchained Memory: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1 by Donna S. Frelick, 4 stars.
Asia is missing 3 hours of her life. That small amount of time had a massive effect on her life. Now she is trying to find out just what happened in that time frame. This leads her to Ethan, a psychiatrist who specializes in odd cases. But the feeling they have for one another are not to be shared between a doctor and his patient. Plus, the deeper they delve into what really happened, the more they discover how little they really know. But this isn’t the only issue. Ethan has had other patients with similar experiences. Not to mention the people who seem to be after them. Will they get to the truth of what really happened? Or is the cost of information too great?
This was unlike any book I have read before. It was quite interesting, but I thought there was a little too much going on in the beginning. Later on though, it all evens out and is a little more cohesive, but again, this is just my opinion. The characters were done well, they are not just flat cardboard people put here to take up space. Even the secondary characters are enjoyable and have depth to them. There is plenty going on in this book too, so you will not be bored. Plus it has action, romance, and science fiction aspects to it, covering many genres.
If you enjoy science fiction with action and romance thrown in, this book is for you.

Frelick – Review by Erin Wolf
Unchained Memory is the first book in the Interstellar Rescue Series by Donna S. Frelick. I have really enjoyed reading this book, and series- coming into it a little backwards by starting with book four and working my way backwards to book one. So, as you can probably guess from my last statement, the books in this series can definitely be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing out on anything, or any important parts of the story. But, there are other recurring characters in this story/series who are really interesting, and you will find yourself wondering about them and what’s in the other books- so expect that one book won’t be enough, and that you’ll want to catch up on the other stories, too. This is a bit of a racy space adventure- a science fiction story, full of danger, suspense, emotion, action, adventure, mystery, secrets, and intrigue- all wrapped around a sizzlingly hot romance. But it was the emotive content of the story that I really wasn’t expecting- it snuck up on me, woven through the storyline, but coming to a head towards the end, where I spent the final chapter/s bawling my eyes out. Then add to the mix some combustible chemistry, many intense scenes, heartbreaking details, violence, abuse, danger, hidden agendas, betrayal, friendship, adversity, conspiracy, risk, love, loss, grief, heartache, sacrifices, and memory loss- and you have all the ingredients needed to make this a completely riveting read! Asia Burdette works at a talent agency in Nashville, doing her best to put the past behind her- but not really succeeding. Her days are plagued with thoughts of what ifs, guilt, and heartache- and her nights are haunted my terrorizing nightmares that leave her with more questions than she has answers for. In a desperate attempt to put it all behind her once and for all, Asia finds herself at yet another Psychiatrist’s office- without any real confidence that he’ll be able to help her. Ethan Roberts takes on difficult cases- and prides himself on being able to help. He takes this responsibility to his patients very seriously and is respectful and professional, no matter what. But his latest patient is testing his resolve, both personally and professionally- her story is heartbreaking and frightening. He feels for her and is determined to help her. Will Ethan believe her? Will he be able to help her? What happens when danger comes calling? Is there really someone with a hidden agenda, or is it just a misunderstanding? What they discover is so much bigger than either of them ever expected and will change both their lives forever. The story transitions from past to present and back again through the story- developing a lot of the backstory and character background information. Ms. Frelick cleverly wove the past and present together into a smooth and intriguing read that had me engrossed the whole way through. There is definitely more to this story than first meets the eye, and it’s more than worth your time, money and effort! Another fascinating read from a fantastic storyteller!

Unchained Memory (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick was an compelling, science fiction story that was full of mystery, steamy smut; mixed with a multilayered plot, and you got one hooking story. That had me completely engrossed from start to finish.
I can’t tell you enough how much I fell for this story. Right out the gate, with that heart wrenching prolog, you’re pulled into this unique read. This book is packed with raw emotion, that’s both dark, light and mysterious. Both MC’s are well developed and complex. Told in dual POV, we get inside both of their heads, adding to the layers of this wonderful read. It brought a new kind of tone, and it added to the overall impact of the story.
The detail and story telling was on point, the plot was simply everything I never knew I wanted. This books was vast like space, and the author did an outstanding job of pulling you in, to the what’s if, and the darkness that maybe lurking above us. Overall I can’t stress enough how good this book is, and that you need it in your life.
So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval that you will get taken, get lost, and break over this one of kind read.

I am not usually a fan of Sci-Fi stories however I really enjoyed Unchained Memory, it didn’t take me long at all to get into the story and I was really impressed by the author’s world building and attention to detail. There were some great twists and turns in the story that definitely helped to keep my interest throughout the book. I loved Asia and Ethan! They had such a great connection, very genuine and believable. I liked that whilst there were some steamier scenes between the two the author made sure to not let them overpower the story and kept it as a sci-fi romance read. The host of secondary characters were a great addition to the story and really felt like they had their own roles, it was nice that they were included and they were integral to the storyline. Overall a really enjoyable read and I am looking forward to reading more from the series!

Frelick – Review by Katie Matthews
Unchained Memory was a great 5 star read and book one in the Interstellar Rescue series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning. Asia is out with friends and on her way home she finds herself parked on the side of the road and she has lost three hours. She has no recollection of what may have caused it, in a panic she rushes home. When she gets close to home her whole world shatters with what she sees. She has lost everything and it’s her fault.
As she tries to put things back together again she goes down a spiral of drinking and insomnia. To try and get answers and help with the guilt, she decides to go see a psychiatrist. There is something about Ethan that awakens things in Asia, she starts to have feelings for him.
Things take a strange twist and get more interesting. Ethan finds a pattern between Asia and some of his other patients. Can he help her? There is so much more on the edge of your seat moments. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Frelick – Review by Michelle Austin
Unchained Memory was a new experience for me as a reader, both with this author and this sort of sci-fi book being one I chose to pick up. I normally don’t choose sci-fiction laden novels without lots of high recommendations. This one however drew me in with some fantastic teasers on my feed. I had to see what was to come, and I am so excited to report that this was nothing short of fantastic.
It is hard to describe a lot of this novel’s story without giving away details that I feel would disappoint the reader if they were spoiled. The blurb provided really does a great job of summing things up and drawing you in, it doesn’t fall short of all the excitement you imagine whilst reading. I personally really enjoyed Asia’s character. Her emotions were strong and felt through the kindle screen as I read. I am even more excited that there will be more to come from this series, Interstellar Rescue Series. While I wait for that to release I will go visit some of Donna S. Frelick’s previously published works.

Unchained Memory is a different read by Donna S. Frelick. This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. Frelick has written a story about lost time, abduction, aliens, and romance that should not be. The characters in the story are fully developed. I felt as if I was going through the story right there with Asia. Asia has found herself in a little predicament. She has lost time, have invisible forces clashing around her, and she has fallen for the wrong guy. The story has a good pace to the story that will keep you turning the pages. Will Asia figure out what has happened? Will Asia’s love stay with her? What exactly happened during her lost time period? This will be answered with a little more suspense when you read the book.

Frelick – Review by Erica Fish
Unchained Memory is the first book in Donna S. Frelick’s Interstellar Rescue Series. It is a gripping story, following Asia as she unravels the mystery of the night she lost three hours, as well as her family and home. Dr Ethan Roberts is dedicated to helping people who are relying on delusions of alien encounters to cope with trauma. When Asia comes to him with vivid dreams that tell of an extra-terrestrial life as a slave known as 1408, he begins to question whether she could really be delusional, leading him to reconsider some of his past patients. Unchained Memory intermingles scenes from Asia’s dreams (or memories?) with her current life as she works through therapy to try and make sense of that night. The narrative in the present switches between Asia’s first-person perspective and a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective of Ethan. There were a few points where I found this confusing but mostly it was clear. There’s plenty of suspense in both the past and present timelines – how will 1408 escape from her slavery? Will Ethan be able to help Asia? Who is the man in the white Impala and what does he want? Will Asia and Ethan be able to resist each other for the sake of their doctor-patient relationship? For me, this is a five star book. It’s different, interesting and entertaining. I’d recommend it to fans of sci-fi and romance who are interested in alien abductions and love big, intertwining mysteries.

Unchained Memory: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1 By Donna S. Frelick. From page one I knew I’d really like this book immediately I was drawn into the storyline. This isn’t necessarily my usual reading but I was pleasantly surprised by the story. The characters are complex and relatable, written well. The storyline is well paced and had me completely hooked. Each character brings something different and unique to the story. The author just has a way of drawing readers in and painting a picture with words. I’m excited to see where readers are taken next. Five stars and highly recommended!

Frelick – Review by Chantelle Smith
Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick is the first book in the Interstellar Rescue series. This book is a great mystery that will have you hooked from page on. This is such a well written book. It is interesting from the word go. You are drawn into the story so easily. The characters are strong and engaging. You want to find out more about them. You want to get to know them that bit more. And the writing is amazing. The authors attention to detail is fantastic. She really knows when to add in the detail and when to withhold it for the development of the story. Once I had started this story I found that I couldn’t put it down. Thankfully I had the afternoon free to read as I’m not sure what I would have done if I had to walk away for even a short time. The book was well paced and never lost momentum for even a second. You should definitely try to this book, even if sci-fi isn’t usually your thing.

I enjoyed this suspense romance story. I enjoyed this author’s creativeness with the plot as well as the characters. They were able to pull me into the story right from the beginning.This is a story about Asia. She has lost three hours of memory along with everything she values in her life. One man risks everything for her, the problem is she isn’t supposed to love him. The twists and turns along with the battle that is raging kept me turning pages until the end. I highly recommend this book.

Unchained Memory (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1) By: Donna S. Frelick 5 out of 5 stars
The story Unchained Memory (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick is a science fiction book. It has a way of pulling you in and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Asia Burdette and Ethan Roberts. Asia is a woman who is independent, strong, and intelligent. She is also determined to find out what happened to the three hours that she can’t remember. Ethan is a psychiatrist who has compassion for his patients. He is determined to help Asia. What does the future hold for Asia and Ethan? Will they get the answers that they are looking for? Read this book to find out. The story has suspenseful moments when I wondered what was going to happen next. There are also romantic scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. I grew to care about Ethan and Asia with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to succeed and find happiness. There are other additional characters that are introduced. Many of them are helpful to Ethan and Asia. Then there are those with their own agenda. Don’t miss out on a book that has action and adventure. I highly recommend reading it.
