Anterograde: a M/M amnesia novel (Demons Age Book 5) Kindle Edition
When Calden wakes up – every time he wakes up – the last thing he can recall is a debilitating headache that even his extensive medical background failed to identify as anything more serious than a regular headache. He also remembers his decision to tell his best friend Eli about his long-standing feelings for him… despite the fact that Eli is married. He remembers June second.
But it is not June second anymore. The tattoos on his arm and chest prove it. They also tell him why he doesn’t remember anything past June second. But they’re only the beginning of an explanation. Knowing he has a rare type of amnesia and can’t form new memories is something he can understand; on the other hand, wrapping his mind around the fact that Eli shares his bed never fails to leave him in awe.
When Calden wakes up – every time he wakes up – he gets to discover Eli is in love with him for the first time all over again. But how long can this relationship last when Eli is the only one who remembers every step of it?

- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014I really loved this novel. From the beginning I was pulled into the world of Calden and Eli and I didn’t want to leave it. I enjoyed the romantic relationship between the men and also was riveted by the story that brought them together. I was captivated with the plagued by demons world Kallysten created , it really added to the flavor of the story. Both the main and secondary characters were well developed and interesting. I could picture vividly each character in my mind. The novel is offered to you as written in an “out of order” sequence or you can opt to read the story in chronological order. The author encourages you to read the chapters as they were meant to be discovered and I agree. I was especially delighted by how the story ended and hope to see Calden and Eli again. It is very well written and I'm recommending it to everyone.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018This seems like a weird combo but it is a good story. I don't really see where demons fit in with this story but I see there are stories to explain it better. I am drawn in with the story as these two men struggle daily with the amnesia. Its about the daily struggle but love is winning even if Calden doesn't remember it from day to day.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021This book is set in the demon invasion timing but there is no fighting or dealing with them as in the first 3 in the series. It can actually be a stand alone. It deals with a type of amnesia and the love that builds between them along with the frustrations. I found the whole amnesia thing so informational and also frustrating for anyone who deals with it and loves some one with it.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2015Given copy by publisher from Net Galley for honest review.
First, I have to say that the author did a great job writing this book. The story and characters were both well developed and interesting. But for me, I had a hard time reading this book. We will get to that in a minute though. This book had an awesome love story! You could feel the love and dedication pouring off of Eli as he cared for Calden. Having to explain your relationship to the person that you are in love with EVERY TIME he wakes up… man, I just… I don’t know if I could be able to do that. Eli does it with such grace and patients though. And Calden, to have to go through all of this, in starting over everyday and the half way mark in your like. Can you imagine waking up one morning thinking that you are going to see your 30 year old, fresh face in the mirror, but what you really see is a wrinkly and gray haired version of that self. You have to have an inner strength and power about yourself in order to go through that every day! And you can tell he does.
One of the reasons why I had a difficult time reading this book could be on how it was pieced together. There are two ways that you can read this book: how the author wrote it and in chronological order according to date of when Calden's amnesia started. I chose to read the book on how the author wrote it and I feel that was a mistake for me. But this is also a really cool format that I have never seen before. I like that I have the option to read the book the way that I'd want to. I feel that I had a harder time reading this story because it was more difficult to keep track from one chapter to the next. But again, it was my choice on how to read the book are the author wrote it. The other problem I had was that it kept reminding me of one of my favorite movies, 50 First Dates (aside from the Demon attacks).
Kallysten did a great job with this story but I feel it was too confusing at times to keep up with how the story was written.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018I don’t read books like this really but I actually really enjoyed it. This is a timeline story that goes back and forth and switches point of view, the author gives you the opportunity to read it chronologically and that’s how I read it. When I reread this I will read it the way it was intended
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014Oh Wow! Anterograde simple blew me away. I was initially drawn in by the blurb not realizing I should have paid more attention to the title. All the clue are right there...I just wasn't paying attention. Once I started reading the book I knew, I understood, and I had to grab a dictionary to see what I missed:
Anterograde amnesia is a loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact.
YOWZA! It's 50 First Dates in book format without the comedy. let me start with the characters. Calden is a arrogant butthead. Of course he is a brilliant surgeon which explains his arrogance. Nevertheless, to see such a proud, powerful character stumble along struggling in his new life is jaw dropping. I kept trying to put myself in his shoes and I just couldn't. As for Eli. That man is practically a SAINT! There were moments when I wondered WHY Eli would put up with Calden's shenanigans. But then it hit me...what a person will do for the one he loves. I think what makes this story so powerful and moving is how the book is presented with two different timelines. One for Calden which runs in reverse, one for Eli which runs forward. The author does provide the ability to read the book in a more chronological order however reading the book the way Kallysten has much more of a impact. The disorientation of reading this book as is gives much more meaning to what the characters had to go through in their day to day living. Finding out the best way for this to work watching both the forward as well as the reverse progression of how they learn to copy was very powerful to me to observe. There's so much more I would love to bring up but then it would spoil the story for others. So I will end my review here.
Kallysten is one of those author names I have seen out there but hadn't read yet. Oh boy was I glad I gave her a shot. Anterograde was simply amazing and little did I know it was part of The Demons Age series. That is probably the one thing that confused me thorough the whole book. No back story to the demon attacks. Now that I know this is a stand-alone that is part of a series I need to go back and start from the beginning. I'm hoping the rest of the series is just as good as Anterograde. By reading the blurbs to the other books They don't seems to have that special twist that this books has but how could they when this is such a unique circumstance! If nothing else, Anterograde is definitely a book I would recommend.
I received this book from the JeepDiva for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.
