I was pleasantly surprised at how enthralling this book was. There were plot twists, grey areas of the good and bad guys, and I appreciated the medium-fast pace. I thought I was going to be confused by the the main character Jen, going backwards to try and solve the puzzle and save her son from his crime, but I wasn’t! I rooted for Jen, Kelly and Todd, because they were a family who loved one another and the author did a great job in making the characters loveable. Would recommend this book!

Written from Jen’s POV. Characters are in depth and realistic, particularly Jen and Kelly. The plot is intriguing and well told. I did twig part of the plot twist in the first few chapters. Whether this was Ms McAllister tipping her hand or a bit of specialised knowledge on my part I’m not sure. I didn’t catch on to the whole twist until the very satisfying ending. 

 

You do have to suspend disbelief as far as hysterical strength causing a time warp. To read Jen’s journey is  worth it.
