Review Detail

I love time travel- From Dr. Who, Back to the Future, Sliders, and Quantum Leap! The Edge of Forever does not disappoint! Melissa E. Hurst does a phenomenal job creating a story you just don’t want to put down.

The Edge of Forever is told in two perspectives; Alora from 2013 and Bridger who time jumps from 2146 to 2013. Hurt weaves the two narratives together so seamlessly that following the jumping time frames feels natural. The voices of each character are so distinct that it is easy to tell who is speaking and whose story is being told. The characters are likeable and relatable.

The novel is full of mystery, twists, and turns. Hurst builds up the suspense while providing great details of the worlds the characters are in and making the characters have depth. The last half of the story really picks up speed and takes the reader for a thrill ride. I couldn’t put it down.

Melissa E. Hurst has written a page-turner, one that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Anyone who loves time travel and is looking for a fun and entertaining beach read this summer should pick up The Edge of Forever- they will not be disappointed.
