Main character, Meredith, loses a promising future in law after the death of her closest friend in a car accident that also left her addicted to painkillers. At the moment that she chooses to end it all, a disembodied voice asks her if she wants to be saved. Choosing yes leaves her in an unknown land trying to figure out how she got there and what she's supposed to do next.

This was an enjoyable time travel/alternate universe story. The story moves at a nice steady clip and didn't really suffer from any dead spots. My interest was held throughout. This book ends in a clear cliffhanger so don't expect to read this book without the rest of the series. There's no resolution here.

When Wild Bill Hickok made an appearance early on in the story, I rolled my eyes, thinking that there was going to be a string of corny occursnces in this book, but that was not the case at all. Also, at one point in the audiobook, a character whose name is Edward, was referred to as William. I don't know if this occurred in print or not. These were my only real issues with this book. I really enjoyed and will be moving on to the next book in the series. (

Good start to this series. I liked the character of Meredith she was believable but she was the only character that had any sort of development. In addition, the plot was not the strongest and I usually prefer stories that are more science than fiction. However, I feel these are not that big of issues since I enjoyed the book and plan to continue on with the series.

I would recommend this to readers who are not into hard core science fiction. For more of my reviews, and author interviews, see my blog at www.thespineview.com. (
