Compelling premise and some interesting ideas, but overlong. The middle third dragged, and the twist felt highly telegraphed from early on. There were a few plot holes that never got resolved, and I felt like the epilogue took the least interesting way out for the main character.

Probably the most original take on time travel I’ve read. It was a little hard to follow at points and had a lot of graphic violence but the pace never slowed down and I finished this in one sitting.

This book combines two of my great loves: crime procedurals and time travel. Tense, dark, and gory - not a good thing to read to wind down for bed! Good timing for  Halloween though. There were times where my enjoyment wavered, questioning if the author was going anywhere with a particular idea or just going for shock value, but my faith paid off the end!
