Main character, Meredith, loses a promising future in law after the death of her closest friend in a car accident that also left her addicted to painkillers. At the moment that she chooses to end it all, a disembodied voice asks her if she wants to be saved. Choosing yes leaves her in an unknown land trying to figure out how she got there and what she's supposed to do next.

This was an enjoyable time travel/alternate universe story. The story moves at a nice steady clip and didn't really suffer from any dead spots. My interest was held throughout. This book ends in a clear cliffhanger so don't expect to read this book without the rest of the series. There's no resolution here.

When
Wild Bill Hickok
made an appearance early on in the story, I rolled my eyes, thinking that there was going to be a string of corny occursnces in this book, but that was not the case at all. Also, at one point in the audiobook, a character whose name is Edward, was referred to as William. I don't know if this occurred in print or not. These were my only real issues with this book. I really enjoyed and will be moving on to the next book in the series.
