It's pretty clear where did the author drew her inspirations... A heavy dose of Jason Bourne, with a bit of Final Destination, and the myth of Grand Duchess Anastasia, and the result was surprisingly readable if a bit reliant on predestination and karma.
Lucie woke up in a hospital with no memory of who she was, but she occasionally gets premonitions, full visions of the future, except there was no context, but she remembers that face. Then one day, she literally found him next to a park... and his name is Greyson. But he's a killer, not unlike Jason Bourne, but without the amnesia and all that. But he left his old life behind to be who he is now... except Lucie's friends are all of his old gang when young. Is the universe trying to play a trick on him? But Lucie drew him in like no other woman ever did, and when her memory came back (and she remembered she was once Russian), he knew exactly what had happened, and he set out to protect her, one last time... Except she already saw his demise... or is it?
The characters are not terribly deep here, it's more about how much of previous lives blended into the current one. The amnesia and subsequent memory recovery were done well enough. And trope mixing was a bit on the long side. The ending was somewhat of a surprise, but I keep expecting the book to end and it didn't, and the ending went on and on...
