I love a great suspense novel and this new release I was able to review by Kim Harrison, author of over 45 books, is loaded with it. Futuristic, time travel, and science fiction all combine to create an impressive story that you do not want to put down.

My Thoughts: This is the first novel I have read from this best selling author and that is probably because I do not normally read in this genre. But since it had secret government agents involved, I had to get this one! And I am so glad I did.
Intense situations and an action packed story that starts out with a bang and ends the same way is what you can expect in this book. There is a touch of romance thrown in but most of the story follows the line of betrayal, trust, distrust, twists and turns at high anxiety levels that keep you on the edge of your seat.
I was very impressed with the level of writing in this awesome book. The author created an amazing character in Peri that made you feel an affinity for her. You get mad, hold your breath, and become completely involved with her time travels, memory issues, and end up wondering what is the truth and not, right along with her. She is a bad ass chick yet very vulnerable too.
This is one story where you have to pay attention to what is happening with the character. It can be easy to become lost in the beginning, but hang on! You will become wrapped up in the story and the ending leaves you wanting more! Thankfully, there are more books on the way in this series.
Great read even for those that do not normally read this type of story! This one is quite a ride!
