I received a copy of this book via NetGalley for an honest review. There was no compensation and all that follows is my opinion from what I've read.

This book bored me. Plain and simple. The description on the blurb was intriguing and caught my attention. Parallel worlds and a woman being hunted, it sounded awesome. And yet, I was not pulled into the story.

The writing is decent. It has multiple viewpoints early on that confused me. I'm not sure what the point was for the President's viewpoint, a killer's, or a professor's early on. It felt disjointed and an attempt of word count or adding tension when it didn't make sense.

Riley's viewpoint was interesting and most of the book. I liked her "nightmares" and the confusion that followed them. It was a great way to get the reader caught on something big.

The big issue though was the way the story was written. It was more of a tell than a show. When multiple characters are talking, there were no indicators as to what they were doing or facial expressions. I found myself thinking the characters were monotonous robots.

All in all, I wasn't sold on the book. I feel it is a great first or second draft and with a bit more revisions it would be an amazing book. Right now though, I didn't care one way or another for anyone.

Unfortunately I tried reading it but the version that ended up on my Nook was messed up. Some sentences were out of order or would just cut off. The chapter headings were stuck several sentences into a chapter. It made for a frustrating experience, so I gave up after 30 pages.

An interesting book rather well written with interesting characters but in which I lost interest when learning the divided nature of worlds and souls. The idea is at the heart of this first book and isn't sufficient to give an interesting plot for me.
