Ratings and reviews

First read 15 lives of harry August as a recommendation from a friend and simply couldn't put the book down and have been waiting from this to be released. Again the author has delivered a unique story and keeps the reader involved and unable to put the book down the only negative I can say is that I get the feeling the author gets a bit tired of the story or complexity of the story towards the end and leaves the book feeling somewhat unfinished, the same can be said for harry August.

A good solid read, clever idea, well executed. It shows some similarities to The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August (an excellent book) and The sudden appearance of Hope (also very good) both by the same author. Claire North is definitely one of my favourite newer authors.

Original story very descriptive
