Perfect for you if...

You love thrillers that play with time and reality in ways that make you reconsider what you've already read.
You're drawn to protagonists who survive and fight back rather than being passive victims in their own stories.
You appreciate intricate plotting that weaves together multiple timelines without feeling like a gimmick.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward linear narratives without temporal jumping or nontraditional story structures.
You need your endings to tie up every loose thread—this book leaves some ambiguity intentionally.
You're looking for comfort reads or feel-good stories; this is dark and unsettling.

About this book

Harper Curtis is a killer from the past who discovers a house in Depression-era Chicago that opens onto other times. Kirby Mazrachi is a young woman with potential whose life Harper is destined to end. At the House's urging, Harper targets a series of bright young women—the shining girls—and vanishes into another time after each murder. Kirby is the last shining girl, and she survives her encounter with Harper. Determined to bring her would-be killer to justice, she joins the Chicago Sun-Times to work with reporter Dan Velasquez, who covered her case. As Kirby investigates, she closes in on an impossible truth about her killer.
