Janelle died when a pick-up truck came out of no where and hit her. However, no one believes her because she walked away without a scratch. Janelle knows Ben Michaels did something to bring her back, but getting the whole story takes snooping through her FBI-agent-father's confidential files, doing research with her best friend, and even blackmailing an FBI rookie. Nothing could have prepared Janelle for the universe-changing news she uncovers.
The story itself was awesome. I loved the idea of different universes and interuniverse travel and how Norris presents it in a captivating mystery to solve. Unfortunately, I have a couple complaints. First, too many conflicts attempt to be resolved with guns. I would have liked more variety and creativity from Norris and, thus, her characters. Secondly, the vulgar language was over the top. The use of unnecessary swearing took away from the brilliance of Norris's ideas.
