Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister (Review by Bruna Looby)

Wow. I cannot remember the last time I’ve been this mind blown by a book! Lately all thrillers have been a little boring, same old same old. They were just meh. And then Gillian McAllister arrived with this book to show how it’s done! I love a good time look/time travel story. I recommend going into this one blindly and try not to guess what’s happening or what’s the purpose of what’s going on. Jen is worried because her son isn’t home yet and it’s almost midnight. She finally sees him through the window and he’s almost home when she sees another man approaching her son, and her son simply stabs the man. Jen’s world turns upside down from now on. Literally. When she finally gets home from the police station, she eventually falls asleep…and wakes up the day before. Yes, that is crazy. Seems like the murder hasn’t hapenned yet. So, can she stop it? She thinks she can, but every time she falls asleep she wakes up one day before. And then a few weeks before. And then months before. When is this going to stop? And what’s the purpose of this? This book took a turn that I didn’t see coming, and I’m so glad it did. The middle of the book got a little slow but the last chapters are impossible to put down. The author does an awesome job connecting all the dots and wrapping everything up. And the epilogue, oh boy! Gillian McAllister, well done!
