This book was also praised by Mark Heisey of the US Review of Books, stating that, “Harwood creates an interesting science fiction story centered around her teenage protagonists. Excusing a few grammatical errors, the writing is compact, and the pacing is quick and engaging. Much of the story revolves around time travel, a difficult concept to write well. Harwood handles the subject adequately, although some ideas and events could have been developed more for depth of clarity. The powers the author gives to the different characters are fun and help maintain the reader’s interest, and the interactions and motivations guiding the characters are enough to keep them from being flat.”
Jennifer Bailey from the Hollywood Book Reviews also commended this book, to wit, “This is a fun story to read as it addresses the theory of time paradox; what would happen if someone goes back in time to kill either themselves, or someone else? How drastic will the changes be and will it make the world better or worse? It’s fun and interesting to see how that idea is approached in this novel in a way that is not full of difficult jargon. Liam having powers, the real killer plus the time travel aspect, may seem like there is too much happening all at once, but Tambi Harwood makes it work in an engaging and thrilling tale.”
