Readers say, "A fantastic blend of heart, action, and suspense."

Cold. Confusion. Fear. This is how it begins.

Two nameless strangers, a man and a woman, awake to find themselves in chains, imprisoned together. They have no memories of their past or identities, let alone their captor. Only a strong desire to escape and find their way home—wherever that is. The pair faces a bizarre labyrinth of rooms and clues that confuse more than they explain. Every discovery brings more questions.

Who captured them? Why were they taken? What does their captor want from them? What can the riddles mean?

Who are they?

As personalities and idiosyncrasies unfold, these two must decide whether they can trust one another. Mazes, puzzles, and strange lurking creatures force them to rely only on their wits—and each other—for survival. And survival isn't enough. They need answers.

Will the truth bring them closer together, or will it drive them forever apart? More importantly—will discovering their identities finally bring them home?

Foreign Identity is a suspenseful yet tender story about lost love and second chances trapped in a labyrinth filled with peculiar snares and surreal creatures. This is a twisting-turning adventure of mystery, survival, and romance. If you enjoy a heartwarming, supernatural thriller, download it today.

Fleeing Easels: I now get queasy when I see an easel! Thanks, Becca Campbell!

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

What would you do if you had a chance to forge a new identity? What if that new identity was threatened when you find out about your old life, that you're not a blank slate? Just how easy is it to unravel oneself? Finally, who would've thought an easel could deliver such unease?

Foreign Identity is about the search for identity as an individual and within a relationship. It couches this exploration in science fiction trappings to good effect. Kel and Jax are awakened through a series of trials that test their identities and faith in each other.

It's a testament to Becca Campbell that she keeps the story propelling forward at a good clip, employing deft description alongside volatile action. She also stretches her characters, bending and twisting them to see how far they can go and still spring back to their core identities.

The work mines similar plot points found in Lost and Saw, but crafts them in a new light.

One quibble, I would like to have seen more development of the third character that figures into the last section of the book. It feels very secondary and underdeveloped. I wanted to understand more of its perspective and what shaped its rebellious perspective.

Overall, a sparkling read that delivers action, mystery, and intimate character development.

I am eager to read Campbell's next work. Her writing is fresh and versatile, giving her the opportunity to work in many genres. Part of me wants to see her tackle more science fiction, but then another wonders what she would do with a psychological thriller. Or maybe, she'll continue her devious blending of genres.

I liked it! I recommend it! 4.5 stars

Foreign Identity is a novel by Becca J. Campbell. I read it a couple days ago. I enjoyed it. I picked it up partly because I like sci-fi, but mostly because I have gotten to know the author a bit (she lives less than 5 minutes from me - yet we've only met online!) and I think she's pretty cool. I purchased the book on sale for my Kindle and finished it in a day. That is not necessarily unusual for me, but I would assume most people would want to finish it quickly to find out what happens. :)

The book starts with a man and a woman who wake up in a room, chained to the walls, with no memory at all. By working together, they uncover a puzzle that frees them from the room, but only releases them into a maze with more puzzles. Throughout the story they seek to escape and to find help with a desire to find home - even though they don't know where that is. They have to, somehow, work together and trust each other in order to be free.

The Breakdown:

I loved how she worked the amnesia. I've seen it used several times as a way to drive the plot, and that really bugs me. Becca, however, totally wiped their personal memories and left them that way. There's never a 'Oh! I remember that!' moment at a critical time to push the plot forward. That said, she has her characters have feelings or instincts for certain things - which they cleverly don't know if they should trust - which add depth to the character, both in what they remember and what they don't as well as how they react to it. Very fun!

The characters. I really liked them. They were believable and consistent. I enjoyed getting to know them even as they got to know themselves. And after the little bit of the past we learn about their lives, they are even more relatable and understandable.

The Sci-Fi aspect. (I love sci-fi, fantasy, etc in case you didn't know) The aliens (I hope that's not a spoiler) are fun and different. I would have liked them to be a little more prevalent and explained a little more in-depth, but they were an interesting puzzle. This is definitely LIGHT sci-fi. It's much more of a mystery/adventure/romance-ish with a sci-fi twist. I have so many questions about her aliens and how they interact and why the problem occurred... It just wasn't that book. They were fun though. I liked Zap. :)

The puzzles. I found them to be fairly simple. That doesn't mean they're not interesting for the characters to figure out, but they weren't fascinating and intricate for ME to figure out. (just fyi, I LOVE puzzles and I'm fairly good at them, and I read a lot of sci-fi, so the twists that may seem shocking to someone else, were fairly expected to me). That doesn't diminish from her writing, it just made it a really light read for me. Like I said, it was fun to see them figure some of the things out. (Although, sometimes one of them seemed a little too dense...the squares? Really? Didn't get that one? So the balance between the characters was a lot slanted most of the time.)

The plot. Was it completely shocking? No. Did I know exactly what would happen? No. I had several guesses, some of which were fairly close to the mark, while others not so much. It was fun to guess, and just because I got close didn't mean it wasn't fun to find out what was happening. It was both fun and interesting.

My Favorite Bit: The idea of a new beginning. That at any point, no matter what has happened, no matter how hard life has been, you can start over. You can choose to do things differently, better. Life is not stuck in some rut that you can't get out of - if you just have the perspective to see the rut, you can climb out and start over.

The end was very satisfying. I really enjoyed it. The themes of trust and faithfulness were beautifully done. I recommend it.

What would you do if you awoke in chains and there was a strange man linked to you? You had no memory of who you were, how you got there, and who you were chained to? The man headed for the door in the room and almost pulled her down as the chain was too short. Once they worked as a team to find the keys that would released them out of thousands that were in the cubbiehole, they took the names on the keys, and called themselves by the names on the keys asit fit more than anything else. But where were they, and who erased their memories?????????

Rebecca Campbell spins a totally bizarre yet intriguing story that captures readers from the very first page and has a shocking ending that you just have to read!!

Intriguing idea, falls short

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2013

A very odd story.
The bizarre circumstances drew me into the story but it is told in a rather dispassionate way.
The very strange things that happen to Kel and Jax are just a laundry list of events, and I felt no real involvement with them or their opponents.

Wonderfully Original

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book wasn't what I expected, and it's ending certainly came out of left field. "Foreign Identity" starts off as a standard mystery novelmand pulls you along, from one scene to the next, all the while leaving you constantly wondering "what happens next?". You quickly realize that things aren't exactly as they appear and that, as they say, the main characters aren't in Kansas anymore. I absolutely loved it. from beginning to end the whole thing was a joy to read.

Speaking of the ending, it definitely works and there are enough hints throughout the story that it's not really a surprise, but if you'd asked me halfway through the story if that was the ending I expected I'd have laughed to your face. It's not often that I read something I'd call truly original and for that Foreign Identity gets my full recommendation. Don't skip ahead to the ending on this one, just enjoy the ride.

An intriguing tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

This story has a great opening. From the initial set up, it is interesting, well written and moves at a dizzying pace. Full of twists and turns, the story also develops well, leading the reader easily along with the two characters. The story is atmospheric and involving. My only slight reservation concerns the ending. Its conclusion feels slightly rushed and a little expository. However, this should not put anyone off. This is a good, solid, enjoyable tale that you will not regret either buying or reading.
