This is my first book by this author and the writing style was somehow differnet to what I usually read. But I got totally engrossed in this story about a mother who tries to go on with her life after the disappearing of her son ten years ago. As one can imagine she is still having trouble coping with everything that happened. Especially when she sees a young boy reminding her of her son. What made this audiobook a real joy is the multi cast narration! This helped bringing all the characters to life and got me consumed by the story!
Thank you #NetGalley #Brilliance Audio for this audiobook

Maddi Liberi is a doctor with a son living in an idyllic part in the South of France. One day her son goes missing on his 10th birthday and she spends her life looking and wondering what happened to him.
The book was basically based on a lot of reincarnation, which isn't really my jam, but I did finish it and in the end I did enjoy the story.
This is the first book I've read by the author, I did like the book but there were parts of the story I found misleading, like who Gabriel is. It does come out later in the book but not with a big "WOW i didn't see that coming" like i would hope in a thriller.
The book wasn't really for me.

I did enjoy the narration by Caroline Hewitt, I found it easy to listen to and you could easily determine who was speaking.

Thank you to Netgalley and Brilliance Publishing for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This thriller translated from French was very interesting. For a large chunk I wasn’t sure where it was going or what was happening. It takes an interesting look at reincarnation and it definitely will have me thinking for a while. I listened to the audiobook and I thought the narrator did a great job, but the bits in French (places and proper names) were harder for me to follow than it would have been if I read it in physical or kindle form. Overall I was able to follow the story well. Dr. Maddi Liberi lost her 10 year old son Esteban and has never accepted what police assumed happened. 10 years later she stands at that same beach on the anniversary of that day and she can’t believe her eyes when she sees a boy who looked just like him wearing trunks identical to his swimming in the ocean. She can’t help herself for examining this boy more closely and loses herself in grief and disbelief. The one thing that was hard for me was the conflicting relationships she had with her therapist who helped her through the loss of her son. Either way it was a conflict and in my opinion unethical. Overall I enjoyed this thriller a lot and I will be definitely looking for more books by this author.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was fine. I didn’t enjoy the author’s writing style, it felt repetitive, the sentences were choppy and the grammar was off. I didn’t connect with the characters and I DNF at 38%. I’m sure this will be a favorite for some but it wasn’t the book for me.

I thought Nothing Can Erase You by Michel Bussi was a very unique book. It's very well-written and the translation is good as well. It has a strong supernatural and mythological element and normally I would not read or listen to a book like that but I'm so glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit confusing at times but I am glad I made it through to the end. Please don't be scared if you normally tend to stay away from supernatural.

I really enjoyed the multi cast narration on this book! It helped bring all the characters to life and helped me to be consumed by the story. It focuses around a ten year old boy that goes missing one day after being at the beach with his mother. Ten years later the mother is still having trouble coping with everything that happened when she sees a young boy that look identical to her son. I really liked that this book took me places I was not at all expecting and would recommend to anyone who likes mysteries and family drama!

Maddi can't believe her eyes when she spots a boy that looks remarkably like her son. The same boy she lost ten years ago. This was a twisted tale that had me intrigued throughout. I did lose my concentration around halfway when I thought it did drag a little bit but it picked up again and I enjoyed the ending. The audiobook narration was good too.

Too much of everything. I was expecting grief, madness and twists. Nicely written descriptive but over done on every detail and the twist was a let done. Thanks NetGalley for a chance to read the book.

From start to finish, the audio experience was a captivating journey into a narrative that skillfully blended unfamiliar beliefs with a compelling plot. While some aspects were initially puzzling due to these unfamiliar beliefs, they served to pique my curiosity and draw me further into the story's world.

Throughout the twists and turns of the plot, each revelation added depth and complexity, keeping me engaged and eager to uncover more. However, it was the final twist that truly caught me by surprise, completely reshaping my understanding of the narrative and leaving me in awe of its clever execution.

Despite the occasional challenge of deciphering unfamiliar beliefs, the journey was undeniably rewarding. It prompted me to reflect on my own perspectives and encouraged me to explore new ways of thinking.

The storytelling was masterful, seamlessly blending mystery, intrigue, and philosophical depth. Its impact lingered long after the audio had ended, leaving me contemplating the themes and ideas it presented. Overall, it was an enriching and thought-provoking experience that I highly recommend.

Well, this book went in an unexpected direction, but I was here for it! I was completely engaged by the premise, and when it took that turn, I was a little put off, but I stuck with it and surprisingly enjoyed it.

I loved the suspense and the fast pace of the story.. The surroundings were so atmospheric and picturesque that I could see myself there. The audio was also excellent. #carolinehewitt brought life to characters and truly elevated the story.

Michel Bussi characterization was wonderful, delving into the psyche of Maddi, and showing the unique bond of a mother, but also the pain of losing that child. This makes her vulnerable to believe even the impossible.
The topics of reincarnation and doppelgängers were really interesting, but you most certainly will have to suspend beliefs to enjoy the book fully.

Overall, I think the author has mastered the art of storytelling and how to craft a gripping mystery. He makes the impossible, possible by adding an inner dimension, a touch of mythology and fantasy making the book unputdownable.

Thank you to the author snd Netgally for the arc. Review was voluntary.

Nothing Can Erase You had such an interesting premise for me and I jumped on it right away. I was so invested and really enjoying it, but then it started being way too heavy on the supernatural aspect and that truly just ruined the story for me. I rarely get into thrillers with the supernatural aspect, and this one fell flat for me unfortunately.

This is an interesting twist of suspense, supernatural and phycological thriller. It was a slow start but the ending had me hooked

A well-told story, but too heavy on the supernatural for me.

Premise - after a mother’s 10 year old son disappears one summer at the beach. 10 years later, she spots a near identical child at the same beach and becomes obsessed with the impossible idea that it’s her reincarnated son.

I spent sooo much of this book worrying the mystery would be solved by deus ex machina, and fortunately it wasn’t, but all the ‘ghost’ stuff wasn’t satisfactorily explained to me and felt like a plot hole. You also have to believe in doppelgängers for a big part of the book to work… and, again, that was unsatisfying when so much of the premise is that the similarities aren’t just a coincidence.

The boys also felt misaged to me, which was distracting when a significant part of the book revolves around them. They’re 10, but they act and think more like 5-7 year olds?

The writing itself is great. I enjoyed the style, the development of the setting in a charming bit of Europe, and the Clouseau style character (who honestly deserves his own book, he’s a gem). I overall enjoyed the read, so it’s 3, but I’d only recommend it with all the caveats listed above.

Thanks, NetGalley and Amazon Crossing, for the gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.
