Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability. She can cast her consciousness back to a younger version of herself, allowing her to re-live that earlier time with the benefit of foreknowledge.

"A cleverly plotted fantasy thriller with a strong cast of characters." -The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Cassie, who has never gotten over her feelings for Julian, asks herself the question, what if he was innocent? Now she has a way to go back in time and witness what actually happened.

“Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." -The BookLife Prize

In witnessing the truth, she inadvertently reveals herself to the killer, who begins to pursue her in past and present both. With no evidence beyond what she’s seen during time travel, how can she hope to bring the killer to justice before she becomes the next victim?
