Greetings ,

Just a quick check-in this month. Despite a full house (thanks to our family visiting from West Coast) and a demanding writing schedule (TimeBlink prequel, I'm looking at you), I've found myself mulling over a curious trend in contemporary fiction.

It's subtle. It's pervasive. And it's been driving me bananas.

This little quirk has been nibbling at the edges of my mind for quite some time, and I've finally put my thoughts down in a new blog post

Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister is another gripping thriller that kept me glued to the pages well past my bedtime.

Can you imagine what you would do if you witnessed your normally happy, easygoing teenage son stab someone to death? And what if, every day you woke up after that farther back in time? That's the story's premise, and it's as chilling as it is heartbreaking.

I also reviewed this book in my Shepherd.com list (which I talked about last month), but what I don't mention there is that I got frustrated at around the two-thirds point, in the same way The Handmaid's Tale frustrated me. I kept thinking, "Oh come on, figure your shit out, will you?"

That being said, it didn't stop me from enjoying the book thoroughly, and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good time-bending tale with domestic thriller vibes.
