Synopsis


Kelly Ruland's world fell apart when her brother Jasper walked away the sole survivor of a car accident...and kept walking right out of town. She doesn't want to believe that Jasper was at fault - but then why did he run away? How could he abandon Kelly and her parents? Now, former star student and athlete Kelly struggles to care about anything anymore, sleepwalking through school and experimenting with dangerous behavior as she tries to fill the void inside her.
Then one night, Jaspers returns...but he's not alone. Someone has followed him home. Someone who hides in the space behind the truth, who hovers in the shadows between the known and the unknown. His name is Archie, and he is the stranger they never asked to know, the guest they never invited . And he's about to challenge Kelly and Jasper to a game that demands a price they may not be willing to pay...

My Rating: 7 out of a possible 10

Explanation: This book was hard to follow a bulk of the time, as are most books that relate in any way to time, space, and dimensions.
 
Overall, as the book went on more and more things became clear. I read it when I was baby-sitting, after I put the kids to bed and I was spooked. I was a bit convinced I was going to see things the entire drive home at midnight [thankfully, nothing creepy appeared].
 
I liked this book, but it was nothing at all like what I was expecting, and I expected the romantic subplot to be a little more advanced at the end..
and that's really my only critisism.
I enjoyed this book, and if you like mildly spooky books that don't make sense until the end, when everything is revealed, this is a fun read. I'm not encouraging you to rush out and buy it right now, but next time you're at a bookstore and nothing stands out, it's good.
