When Eli and Ava stumble upon evidence of similar gruesome crimes around the globe, they realized there is more to the murders, but the answers continue to elude them. In a race against time, Eli and Ava must figure out who is behind the killings and stop them before more people die. 

But the answers will take them out of their comfort zone and into the realm of the fantastic: another world with a different set of rules, and a leader who has qualms about killing.

**I received a copy of this book from the author for review** 

I think going inside a detective's mind and helping them figure out the mystery is the best point a view a book could ever present! Eli and Ava, two very ingenious detectives, work together on the same case to find the answer to a string of murders. What the author did well in writing this book was definitely making the characters believable and their present situation. It's either Shay West had a very in-depth life in forensics science, or just has a very vivid imagination. And probably even, say, a background in the police department (wink, wink). The story was believable without being too unreal.

From the gestalt (just by looking at the cover!), I expected a very subtle and dark piece about murder, however I didn't quite get that. And because of that I feel like this book leaned more on the science of it rather than the story, which is totally fine, but I would've liked to see more development of the story and plot throughout.

It was pretty fantastic that this book just so happened to come with a twist! We are sent to kind of another dimension and the crime scene follows us there! It was unique and definitely a big step up from shows like Criminal Minds and CSI: Miami. Like all other homicidal mystery novels, we see a build in the intensity of the cases and the murders. In this story, they just got wilder and really much more a pain to solve. You could literally feel the sweat dripping off the detective's foreheads!!

After reading this book, I feel educated enough to apply for a job as a detective! It's kind of like sitting in the backseat of a real life crime scene, in which you're helping to solve. We're up close and personal to a real detective. If forensics science and mystery is something that appeals to you, this book is a close match and a true simulation to what it's really like!
