Review Detail

What's to love?

It's part Quantum Leap, part Dr. Who,and even some Somewhere in Time mixed into one gripping tale.

I'm a huge fan of time travel novels but this one is a little different. Alex can travel back in time by accessing Limbo(a really cool space in between Life and Afterlife). Alex's adventures have some twists and turns that at times take her off guard like the 1960s skinny dipping one. Also she feels an intense connection with one stranger she keeps 'bumping' into. The intensity of each encounter drives Alex to want to know more about this stranger. This reminded me of Chris Reeves character in Somewhere in Time when he first bumps into the Jane Seymour character.

Love the twists and turns in this time traveling/past lives tale. The chemistry between Alex and Blue(especially the 1927 dance scene) pulsed with chemistry. The premise behind being a Descender is very intriguing and Buehrlen does a great job showing us in detail how Alex feels when she goes back into one of her past lives. There were times I was on the edge of my seat, wondering where Alex would go and what revelations she'd encounter. There is a big climax with a surprising twist.

I can't wait to see where Alex goes in the sequel!

A must read for time travel fans!
