Other reviewers have commented in more detail regarding the story, and I hate to give much away. I'll definitely read the next in the series when it comes out. I listened to the audio version, and the narrator was excellent. It's not easy to write a time-travel story this well, and I am highly impressed. There's action, danger, and enough playing with time to keep me guessing and twist my brain a bit, but not so much as to become hopelessly lost and confused.
There is a bit of a not-really-but-sort-of love triangle, but it fit nicely within the plot. I found the story unique and imaginative. I enjoyed how the story developed and how the time-travel elements were handled. Some of her choices are questionable as far as being sensible, but I thought were still genuine for her age. I found Kate to be a believable and likable teenager. Provided naturally and seamlessly within the telling of the story. Enough detail and description so that I felt immersed in the story, but not so much that it slowed the plot.
I quickly became a very willing and pleased participant in the suspension of disbelief. If there were any logic issues I didn't want to look for them, I enjoyed being caught up in a very good story that was very well told. In this regard I think this story delivers admirably. In my opinion the trick for the author is to tell the story in such a way so that there are not only as few of these as possible, but so that those that remain don't stick out like sore thumbs. I think time-travel stories typically have elements that if thought about too hard, or considered too closely, logic problems can be found. This story hooked me almost right from the start. I hoped for a reasonably enjoyable read and not really much more. I'll admit, I didn't really have high expectations for this one.
