The Last Hour Between Worlds

The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso, 432 pages

Detective Kembral Thorne has left the house on her own for the first time since giving birth, heading to a fancy year-turning party that she's not even sure she belongs at. Her main goal is to relax and have fun, though she's not sure her boss will let her do that, once she learns he's in attendance. Especially when people start dying and time keeps turning backward a few hours while the party drops through increasingly chaotic alternate worlds.

That is a horrible description of a truly imaginative and fun fantasy novel. Caruso's descriptions of the very VERY strange alternate worlds are so creative and fully fleshed-out, providing a well-realized setting for an action-packed fantasy novel with a no-nonsense main character. This was astoundingly fun, and I can't wait to read more of Kembral's tales.
