I felt like this started off really slowly, to the point where I forgot I was waiting for the shortcuts to be introduced and the book to get exciting. The heavy emphasis on Jean's jobs and daily struggle felt stretched out. I wanted more out of the ending too as it felt a bit rushed at the end and I felt like I deserved a bigger payout.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When Jean flees to anonymity in New York, she has no idea how her new life will be anything but the bland, inconspicuous existence she imagines. Natalka Burian’s The Night Shift is an intensely engaging story that more than lives up to its cover blurb. Part thriller, part science fiction/fantasy, it’s peopled with true, imperfect characters whose agendas and backgrounds emerge throughout a sometimes gritty tale of space-time travel and its effects on the travelers as well as the wider world, interwoven with contemporary lives molded by personal histories. Like the shortcuts Jean discovers, The Night Shift pulls you in and leaves you wanting to see what happens next.

THE NIGHT SHIFT was a very interesting and intriguing story.
A truly powerful story that had me up late at night reading to finish this book.
The characters I absolutely loved. Jean was a favorite and talk about strong. She kicked ass here.
This book has a very interesting storyline that had me wanting more of it.
Y'all will just have to read this for yourself. I personally thought it was amazing and very well written.
