REVIEW
This book is different from anything I’ve read before! In a good way, of course.
First, imagine you wake up in a forest with no recollection of who or where you are. After the initial disorientation and confusion (and a few events), the main character learns that he must wake up in a stranger’s body everyday until he solves the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle.
When I first read the premise I thought this is the type of book I enjoy. Although it has supernatural elements to it, the novel still has a very classic-feel to it. It reminded me of the TV show Quantum Leap and also of the movie Groundhog Day.
Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to readers of mysteries, thrillers, and contemporary fiction.

I’m so glad that you liked this one! I’ve gone back and forth about it but I think it definitely is time to read it. Thanks for a great review!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it too!
The beginning was rough to get through because it was so disorienting, but ultimately, I was so glad to have read it. Glad you enjoyed it!
