“It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that was utterly unputdownable. This book is everything I had hoped it would be, and more. It is easily the best book I have read in over a year and is among my favorite books of all time. I frequently caught myself scanning ahead because my eyes just couldn’t wait to find out what happened next…I will be recommending this book to everyone I know.”

This urgent, personal thriller combines paranormal and romantic elements as a woman out of time faces an agonizing choice.”
