Corporate researcher Dr. Tamsin Rivers is on the cusp of a major discovery, when bizarre distortions start popping up around the city, which may threaten her life’s work and maybe even her very soul…
I still have no idea what happened, the scientific jargon went over my head, but I loved it. There's something about a shifting house that gives me chills. The reality-bending nature of this book had me questioning everything and considering my own choices and identity. Would recommend to fans of:
- Severance
- Supernatural phenomena like doppelgängers, the Mandela Effect and parallel worlds
- Corporate sci-fi
- Main characters who descend into their own depths and delusions
- Research ethics
- Books that will force you to examine your own existence
