Skye and her twin Red have moved to Manhattan and started at a very exclusive prep school, but while the students have embraced Red, Skye still feels like she’s on the outside. The turmoil in Skye’s life is echoed by the growing chaos in the greater world, as a comet is coming closer to Earth, bringing warnings of global catastrophe. Then for some reason Skye is welcomed into the elite group and becomes party to a secret that has been around for ages – one family has access to very secret tunnels and a paranormal trick that moves them through time – a very dangerous time for this group. Skye first wants to unravel the secrets of this time, but the dangers are now greater in both her real time and the future time. Danger is now approaching on at least two fronts.
I wish Reilly had edited his plotlines – throwing out the debutante who wants Skye dead, as the time travel and natural disaster are plenty of danger for any book. The extra plot line comes over as cheap and superfluous. Too bad – because the rest of it was very interesting. I am normally a big fan of post-apocalyptic fiction.
