Description

You can’t change the past. Or at least, you shouldn’t.

She’s not the only time traveler out there, though. A community of other travelers exists, with one main rule guiding them: don’t alter the past. This doesn’t stop Sloane from wishing she could fix that one night. Nor does it stop the mysterious woman who seems to be stalking her through time, trying to kill her.

As Sloane struggles to master her newfound abilities, as well as her complex relationship with her mysterious coworker Eric, something keeps pulling her back, over and over again, to that night everything went wrong. Sloane knows she shouldn’t do anything to change the past—but what if her choices have already been written into that story?

You can’t change the past. Or at least, you shouldn’t.

If you liked Loki's Time Variance Authority but wanted more drama and darker twists, this book is for you!

The After Hours is a true page-turner with an unexpected ending that left me hoping for a sequel. With a cast of complex characters, I never knew who to trust. Andersen makes time travel easily digestible by layering visits to one pivotal night in Sloane Becker's life. With a side of well-paced romance and a big helping of secrets, I devoured this book!

Yoooooo! This book is out of bounds! Set in California in and outside of our time Sloane has acquired the ability to move throughout time but has no idea where this ability came from. There is a magic sanctuary, a love struck, heartbroken, crazy villan, and a soft love story. This is all sub context to the non stop action! It was like reading something from the Marvel Universe! AND THE ENDING!! The ending was not expected, not what I wanted, but it was accepted. It definitely left my jaw on the floor! Maybe a book 2 on the horizon??

I devoured this book in one day...I couldn't put it down!

Thank you Aspen Anderson for writing to phenomenal, imaginative book! Thank you Netgalley, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America | CamCat Books, for providing me with the ARC and allowing my voluntary honest review!
