Infinity by Jus Accardo
3.0
There is a theory that suggests the truth behind a phenomenon known as the multiverse. The theory presumes that there are infinite realities, or universes, which are variations of the world that we know. Since each universe progresses on its own, influenced by unique factors, they present different features. For example, each universe would be at different stages of development, technology, landscapes, even cultural norms. Yet, fundamentally, there are similarities. Some even say there are multiple versions of us that exist across the various universes. Of course, these theories lack any real scientific basis, and it is doubtful we will ever know for sure if there is indeed a multiverse.
This is the basic foundational premise behind Infinity. Kori Anderson is an average girl who causes a bit too much trouble but otherwise is a normal high school student. Her father is somewhat strict given that he is a military man, but she lives a safe and secure life. Yet, what is a normal life ends up in chaos when she winds up the target of a murderer, Dylan, who is in fact a visitor from another earth. Dylan wants to kill Kori to pay for the crimes of another universe—to punish the people who loved the Kori on the other earth, his earth, which a version of her existed, and to find her earth’s version of the woman he loved, Ava. Dylan is followed by two men, Cade and Noah, who are determined to stop Dylan before he can kill anyone else on Kori’s world or another. But Dylan is clever and puts Kori into a perilous situation: find the woman he loves or be shuttled through the multiverse and probably not survive. The only light at the end of the tunnel is her burgeoning romance with Cade.
I love a book with a sound scientific basis, or rather one that is believable even if the science in a real sense doesn’t exist. The author, Jus Accardo, gives a solid explanation of the technology used to send people from one earth to another, but doesn’t convolute it. I really enjoyed Dylan’s rage. A good book is always full of emotion, and characters that conflict with good reason and force. It was also cute how Cade and Kori slowly developed feelings for one another, even if I was kind of troubled by the fact that Kori is a 17-year-old high school student. The best parts of the book were the twists to the plot. Just when there seemed to be a resolution in place, Accardo pitched the storyline on its head. I really liked what happened when the group sought out Ava. It was gasp inducing, and made you fear that Kori wouldn’t be saved.
This book is good for young adult readers and beyond. Infinity is an exciting sci-fi journey, using our familiar earth as the backdrop. I look forward to pursue the second book in the series since Infinity left us on a cliffhanger. To know if Kori survives, you have to read the next novel, which I will certainly do.
