I’m looking forward to the rest of this series. I love how it was laid out and the implications of what has happened in this one.
It did read a bit slow in the beginning but once it picked up it was really enjoyable. I’m looking forward to book two. 
The audio was enjoyable and the narrators added to the characters.

This was so fun!! I was immediately hooked because of Andee’s profession as a pyrotechnics engineer. SO unique!! And, Chan… what hunk! This was full of adventure and humor. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

This was chaotic family drama personified. There was really more family stuff than mystery but it was rife with unreliable characters and questionable circumstances so it was still an entertaining read. 
The production and narration were entertaining and kept the drama alive. 

I will never not read. Kate Alice Marshall book! This was everything I expected and exactly what I needed. The chaotic family drama, the frigid cold, and the twists and turns made for a perfect winter read.
Karissa Vacker continues to be THE voice of thrillers for me. She is perfection. 

This was beautifully told. I loved Abigail on The Bachelor and found her memoir to be insightful and touching. I look forward to more from her in the future.

Thank you #partners @getredprbooks @lindentreereads and the authors for my #gifted copy.

I’ve come to realize that I LOVE time travel books and this one is done so well! Tori is in the middle of a crisis. It’s the first week of the pandemic, she lives in NYC and her parents are splitting up, which is taking her to Boston, both cities which were hotbeds in the early throws of the pandemic. As she’s reflecting on her dad, Bob, and all the problems she has with him she does some research on her grandfather, Victor (whom she’s named after), and finds out that he spent time in prison for a massive jewel heist involving the Desert Storm diamond, a ginormous yellow diamond. As she’s looking up the diamond she suddenly shifts to 1980, in her own bedroom that’s not exactly hers anymore. Instead it’s the childhood bedroom of her father. 
She then meets the 15yo Bobby, her dad at her age. Bobby is brilliant and also a huge sci-fi nerd. She spills her story and amazingly, he believes her. Now, Tori and Bobby must try to figure out a way to get Tori home and possibly stop the heist. 

I really enjoyed the father/daughter relationship (as same age teens), the heist was thrilling, it was wisely funny, and the glimpse into 1980 was so nostalgic. Imagine being thrust back to that time period and not having the amenities you’re used to, like Google and having to find a phone booth to call someone while out. 

The authors have been friends since college and you can absolutely tell that they are in sync with their storytelling. This was inspired by the 1964 heist of the American Museum of Natural History and the Star of India. 

This was the most surprising and delightful holiday read. Timothy Janovsky really can do no wrong, but I adored these characters and their dual POV let us into their thoughts. 
Mark Sanderlin and Zach Barela were both phenomenal. The dual narration really helped to get the essence of who both characters were.
