The final Reset by Mercy Jane Porquez Ballesteros

 


Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Suspense
Source:  I won a copy from LibraryThing. The opinions expressed here are my own.

I love when the suspense in a book makes me read it cover to cover.  The mystery starts when  an old woman gives Samantha a clock necklace. To make sure we understand the foreboding, the author has set this event during a storm. She gives her a message with the necklace. What? You didn’t really think I was going to tell you did you?  Samantha is killed, but wakes up to find she has travelled back in time before the stabbing that killed her. Now she must try to figure out who stabbed her.  She can escape this event if someone else dies. I loved that the necklace didn’t begin ticking until she died. It also didn’t move forward, it moved backward as if it was winding down to her death. The pacing was great. The suspense was an “on the edge of your seat” type of suspense for me. The choices she has to make brings that  all important moral dilemma to the forefront.  I really enjoyed this book by an author I had not read before. It is definitely something I highly recommend reading.  I want to thank the author for the copy I won from LibraryThing.
