Summary/ product description: “Camden Pike has been
grief-stricken since his girlfriend, Viv, died. He’d give anything to have just
one more glimpse of her. But when Cam visits the site of Viv’s deadly car
accident, he sees an apparition. Her name is Nina, and she’s a girl from a
parallel world. When Cam follows here there and makes an unbelievable
discovery, it’s as if all his wildest dreams have come true. But things are
very different in this other world. Nina is hiding a secret, and the window
between the worlds is shrinking every day. As Cam comes to terms with the
truth, he’s forced to make a choice that will change his life forever.
My Rating: êêê
My Review: This book was very short and fast. A quick
read with good narration. I just feel like there could have been more in it,
but I guess it’s a stand-alone, so the story had to be wrapped up. The plot was
pretty simple. It didn’t leave much of impression. Cam is so depressed about
his girlfriend dying, and when he finds out that she’s alive in a parallel
universe, he wants to go see her. I liked the character Nina better that all of
the other characters. She didn’t seem to have bad intentions, no matter was Viv
told Cam. Viv from the other world seems like she’s obsessed. This book was
nothing like Fringe, even with the parallel universe thing. It seems more
contemporary than sci-fi. If you’re looking for a fast-paced grief/love story
with a paranormal twist and a bitter sweet ending, then this might interest
you. Enjoy.
Cover Art Review: Nice photo. The girl doesn’t look
that dead and the colors don’t look creepy, but the cover is mostly good. Love
the holographic/rainbow overlay on the title.
