The first part in Ivy’s life began
with a bloody fight with her abusive ex-husband, who had found her and her
kids. As she was dying, her world went dark. When she woke, she was in her
pre-teen body fifteen years ago in her hometown of Red Lake, where two girls
were murdered. Oh wow!
The Red Lake Slasher was set to
kill an enemy and her best friend in a few years. Could Ivy actually prevent
the killings the second time around? Or how about the third time around?
Evidently, every time Ivy dies, she wakes up in a different lifetime with
another possible chance at preventing these deaths. It’s funny because in these
lives, she was still connected to Simon, the future ex that stabbed her in the
very beginning. It wouldn’t be surprising if he turned out to be the Red Lake
Slasher. Or perhaps it could be Carter, Ivy’s loner boy next door? Mmm,
interesting. Who was the killer here? That alone keeps you riveted, and I also
liked the time-traveling element, too!
Why would Ivy keep re-living her
life? And why was she still with Simon? And why would she go to a full-grown
life after the murders? This multi-layered story was just too puzzling and
curious. It was just too good!
This was a great read from start
to finish. The only thing I was curious about (besides who the killer was, of
course,) was what the years were in the lifetimes. Ivy mentioned using the
computer with internet at 15 and the carpet not being changed since the 70’s.
Still, the year wasn’t clear.
Wow, the ending! Just when I
thought I had it figured out, I get a shocking twist in the end. A gripping
read you won’t want to put down.
