The Day After Never by Nathan Van Coops
★★★☆☆ The Day After Never is book three in Nathan Van Coops' time-traveling series. I loved In Times Like These, the first book in the series and, while I didn’t like The Chronothon (Book 2) quite as much, its Amazing Race-style plot and pacing held my attention.

★★★★☆

The Cracked Reflection by Terry Geo
★★★★★ The Cracked Reflection by Terry Geo I almost always choose a full-length book over a novella, but lately, I have been enjoying novellas and short stories.
