Strong Premise Reminiscent Of The Flatliners. Ok, this is possibly a bit of a stretch even for me, but that is where my mind is going as I think about this book, and I think it applies *enough* to give you, the reader of my review, a sense of both the overall tone and style of this book, at least to a point. In both this book and that movie, you have a group of people coming together to test the bounds of medical knowledge... and things go wrong, of course. Add in the "time travel" (ish) element of the book (which could have used a great deal of internal clarification, fwiw, but worked well enough), and you've got an interestingly dark, almost goth/ emo/ gothic kind of vibe going on throughout, which the overall setting of our "current" timeline really helps to establish, particularly down the stretch into the endgame.
Overall an intriguing debut, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this author does next.
Very much recommended.
