“The future is not as loud as war, but it is relentless. It has a terrible fury all its own.”

I should have loved this one. But I started it blind, hoping to get pulled in to a plot I'd love and a book I wouldn't be able to put down. I'd just finished my current audiobook mid-long drive and just set this one up. I wish I'd read the synopsis first.

I found the. . .house and the jumps jarring on the audio. I even listened to it very quickly, almost all at once, and I still found the jumps, pieces and POV a bit confusing. I did love Kirby and all the other shining girls we got to meet, even as some of them were ended. But I didn't love Harper's POV. I don't always find the POV of the "bad guy" who likes to kill people - I don't always love reading their POV because I find it all so horrible.

But the plot was interesting, the connections and how they played out were interesting. And this one was gory, the description of gutting and running around with innards hanging out was both surprising and awful - but I'm pretty okay with all that (it just might not be for everyone). All in all, I'm hoping the show will work for me more than this one did, although I did find this one interesting just confusing at times. ( )

I'm reading Beukes' back list after having loved Bridge last year. This was not as enjoyable, though there are a lot of similar elements to the stories so it's fun to see the evolution of her ideas. In the end this is a messed up serial killer story who gets the advantage of time travel and somehow still gets caught. ( )

serial killer trova portale del tempo

probabilmente merita più di 3 stelle perchè è strutturato bene e lo stile è ottimo ma non mi ha preso ( )

2024 book #23. 2013. Kirby survives her encounter with a time traveling serial killer and vows to track him down. Creepy story but kind of hard to follow due to the time hopping chapter order. The killer, Harper, is not given much depth nor an explanation of how this is happening ( )

Quina meravella, un llibre rodó sobre assesinats i viatges temporals, amb una documentació impecable i uns personatges molt ben definits. Fins i tot els més secundaris.

Necesito llegir més coses de l’autora. ( )
