Enjoyable book.  A man is jumping from parallel world to parallel world and stalking then killing a young woman he is obsessed with.  A journalist named Felicity gets drawn into the mystery and dragged to another world unknowingly; she becomes determined to save Madison May from the killer and stop him once and for all.  I liked Felicity and Madison May.    I would have liked more world building around the group that is enabling the world jumping.  I believe it is intentional on the author's part, but it feels very handy-wavy "don't worry about it."

This would’ve been 4 stars but the ending was a little flat. Other than the ending, this was all consuming! Fast paced and thrilling. The violence is a bit jarring but the storyline is very good.
