Title: Hickory Dickory Dock

goodreads...
After a tumultuous freshman year at Detroit University, Marlow Henry and
Sage Farrell look forward to a calm, uneventful summer break.
Not gonna happen.
Before Marlow can even make his blossoming relationship with Dakota
official, Sage pulls him into her new discovery – a math equation that opens a
window in time and space. Then they witness a murder.
Fate pulls them into a war-torn and deserted version of Marlow’s
neighbourhood where they are forced to help a rebel group counterattack. The
group’s ethics are questionable and Marlow has a personal reason to distrust
the leader. Plus, members of their small community keep dying.
The situation is more dire and twisted than Marlow and Sage can imagine. No
one is safe. No one can be trusted. They don’t even trust each other. How can
they save the world, if they can’t save themselves?
My take...
Before Marlow and Sage can sit down and
think of all that they had been through in the past year, they are thrown for
another loop. Once again the pair must journey to a desolate Detroit that takes
place far in the future and try to figure out a murder they happened to
witness. All of this before they possibly become the next victims.
I have so enjoyed following this series
and Marlow and Sage. From the beginning it is one of those series that grabs
ahold of you and demands you read all the books. And I have gladly let it take
hold. It has been one crazy adventure after another for the pair (and the
reader) as the journey has taken them to places and realms they never dreamed
possible. And with this book, the adventure gets crazier and scarier as they
start to realize who and what they are dealing with. No one will see the end
coming.
Speaking of the ending, now while I
wasn’t particularly fond of the way Strauss ended it, I have faith that things
will turn around later on. It has to. Right? Ugh. Read the book and tell me
what you think of the ending. Was it one you liked? Would you have preferred a
different outcome? I am dying to know what you thought.
Don’t let the fact that this book is #3
in a series; it can definitely be read as a standalone if you haven’t read the
other 2. But I absolutely recommend the 2 previous books. 4 Stars!
