This is not my go-to genre (supernatural), but I sometimes dip into it. That may be why I didn't enjoy this a much as regular readers of this kind of tale, in addition to probably being too old for it (my fault). But it did make me pensive at times, and I enjoyed the writing style. The author has a good imagination and also created some good suspense along the way. Recommended for thriller fans.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!

This book was a wild ride! I enjoyed it a lot. The writing is strong and the story is compelling. I was hoping for an explanation of the supernatural mystery part, but even without it, I was satisfied with the ending. Very well done.

Amy is an adult and does not have an easy life. Her job is decent, an X she wishes she could forget (we all have one) and not too much hope for her future. But then she has a car crash and wakes up to being 13! Is this a dream or a new reality? Amy has to relive some of the most traumatic times in her life. What does she have to do to get back to her present?

This was not what I expected but still found it a compelling and gripping read. It had some elements of time travel similar to "The Time Travel's Wife" but also had paranormal and suspense elements. You cannot just call this time travel book, it is so much more than that. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this. I would definitely read more by this author. Loved the creepy cover, it was suiting for sure.

Recommended because it is freaky, suspenseful and haunting but not in the typical way.

This book starts with a very relatable but miserable life with the usual pains that come with adult life, she ends up in a car crash and somehow wakes up 13 again. She has to work her way through some of her biggest struggles, avoiding them, embracing them, ignoring them. I quite enjoyed this book.

Amy is an adult who lives a life like most adults. She has a job, not over her ex, and ends up in the hospital due to a car crash. When she wakes later she is home with her family and she has a birthday where she will be 13 years old. There is only one problem as she is really 26 years old. Amy doesn’t know what ha caused her to go back in time. She doesn’t want to be 13 years old again. Amy wants to be 26 not a teenager.

The novel is not a time travel story as one usually thinks of it being as in most novels. Amy goes through a path of seeing people she knows but doesn’t recognize them at first. It is an adventure with mystery, a cult (at least I think it is even though it lacks some of a cult’s habits) and trying to come to terms with the people she loves and herself. In some ways, its not an easy book to read so I didn’t give it 5 stars.

I'm hooked. Amy is attached by her strung-out sister on the night before her 26th birthday. During her escape she is struck by a car and ends up in the hospital. Upon her release, her best friend takes her home to her mother's house and they decided to hold a sleep-over, just like the good-ole-days. That's the end of normalcy.

When she wakes up it is her birthday, her 14th birthday, her father is alive, (which is a dream come true), and her sister is not hooked on drugs. The down side is she is stuck in middle school with the same people who were mean to her the first time. She sees her best friend, who hates her. They only become friends in high school.

I couldn't put it down. She has to realize it is not a dream. She has to face middle school and people not knowing the adult her. She has to face her clean and loving sister knowing what she becomes.

I was given the opportunity to read this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the use of scifi, horror and time travel, it really added to my enjoyment of the story. The plot was beautifully done and I enjoyed getting to know the characters.
