Do you like thrillers? The ones that make you hold your breath and keep you guessing? The sci-fi novel Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris is filled with emotion, drama, and events that keep you on your toes.
Janelle Tenner is an average teen with a too many responsibilities. Her father, a FBI agent, is always gone, and her bipolar mother can’t even take care of herself. Adding to that, she must watch over her little brother. Her life is suddenly turned upside-down when Ben Michaels, a boy she never laid eyes on, brings her back to life after she is run over by a truck. What had he done? How did he do it? As she looks for answers, she’s mystified by one of her father’s cases: a mysterious disease whose victims are found melting like wax.
During her quest, she meets Ben’s friends who seem like foes. Later on, she finds out that Ben and his friends have a huge secret: they are from another dimensional reality. Her discovery leads to another: a countdown that will lead to a catastrophic event that will cause her and Ben’s realities to be destroyed. It’s a race against time to stop the countdown and save the world.
To conclude, this book is one that adults and young adults will enjoy, especially those who like fringe theories. It’s a book that you will not stop reading to the very end, for each chapter has a gripping hook and a foreshadowing ending. Were Janelle and Ben able to stop the countdown? There is only one way to find out…
