Tether: A Time Travel Adventure
Die. Reset. Repeat. Can Paige complete her time-travelling mission?
Twenty-three-year-old Paige Korokowski has a budding nicotine addiction and an uncertain future, having learned she has failed too many courses to graduate college. But, without warning, she is snatched from her pointless existence and propelled into a clandestine mission.
Paige discovers she is a 'Tether,' a unique, fixed point in time to which life can be returned; when it all goes pear-shaped. She finds herself the essential ingredient in a covert mission to save Nathaniel Barnard, the inventor of Time Travel.
Of course, there’s a catch: Paige must die to reset time.
For fans of the time-travelling classic Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut and the thrilling Replay by Ken Grimwood324 pages, Kindle Edition

Hmmm. This was a little complex. Time travel often is. But here I had a little trouble following it all. I had received the audio copy in exchange for an honest review, but I was also able to nab the Kindle copy, as it's available as part of Kindle Unlimited. I needed that. I had started this and been listening and was following it okay I think. It had a little "Edge of Tomorrow" feel to me (Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt movie) with Paige waking up in the same spot, learning from past loops, etc.
But I wasn't quite sure what was going on. The narrator was good, and admittedly it's easy to get a little distracted when listening. So I stopped listening, pulled up the Kindle copy and re-read what I'd listened to. Some stuff I was nodding ... I got that, other stuff, oh, missed that. Once I caught up, I went back to listening, although I'd still switch to reading at times (sometimes I do just like to read).
As mentioned, this was just a little complex. I wasn't absolutely positive what it was Paige was trying to accomplish, and how it would help her. I'm afraid there are still parts I'm cloudy on. Time travel stories are almost always mind-bending, especially if they are going into the past and perhaps affecting the future. Here, that wasn't really the case - Paige was going into the future. The complexity was the science and the action, trying to follow that.
So - 2.5. I didn't have any complaints about the writing itself. The narration was good. It just wasn't a "relax and read" and enjoy it type of book for me. I liked the ending - I really wasn't sure at how it would turn out. I almost wish SPOILER but still, so close to a happy ending there.
... and one note ... the word "encapsulated" ... it's just not one I hear much. Not that it was used incorrectly or anything, it just kind of stood out to me. If it had been used in a futuristic sense I think I would have shrugged it off, but usually I could have just substituted "surrounded" and it would have had the same meaning. I.E ... "Blackness encapsulated me" or "As encapsulated as I could be between three people" ... it was used six times throughout the book. And I noticed it every single time. Encapsulated.
Parental Perspective - As Paige is 23, this isn't really aimed at younger readers. There is a lot of proFanity, quite a bit of violence. No sex though ... too busy swearing and killing each other for that ;)

Weird story, but I really enjoyed it! I loved the humor and adventure throughout. Would highly recommend reading this book for the sake of meeting TK, the best robot friend a time traveling millennial would want.
