Synopsis
I Am Number Four meets the TV show Fringe in this breathtakingly romantic sci-fi thriller from debut author Elizabeth Norris. Two days before her junior year, Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed-as in blinding light, her life flashing before her, then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she's opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And though it isn't... more

The science was rudimentary, with no explaining, just conclusions that the characters just “thought up.”

The explanation seemed to come out of nowhere, and I didn’t like the usage of parallel worlds in Unravelling.

Regardless of my reservations on the plot in the beginning and not being a huge alien/sci-fi girl, I found myself getting TOTALLY into the sci-fi.

I’m so glad that Unraveling embodied its name as it slowly, deliberately hooked me as the plot unraveled.

Book Yurt | 18 Apr 2012
Norris entertained me, no question, and she gets serious points for loving all the same TV shows I love, but this felt too much like a knock-off. Next time, I want more from Norris – I want to see what she can do on her own.

But, as much as I loved reading a thrilling sci-fi read, I thought Unraveling was simply too far-fetched.

Good Choice Reading | 24 Apr 2012
One thing in particular that I loved about Unraveling was the fact that it feels like a contemporary novel. It definitely has sci-fi aspects and they are key to the story, but it isn’t overly technical.
