Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Kepler had never meant to die this way — viciously beaten to death by a stinking vagrant in a dark back alley. But when reaching out to the murderer for salvation in those last dying moments, a sudden switch takes place. Now Kepler is looking out through the eyes of the killer himself, staring down at a broken and ruined body lying in the dirt of the alley. Instead of dying, Kepler has gained the ability to roam from one body to another, to jump into another person’s skin and see through their eyes, live their life — be it for a few minutes, a few months or a lifetime. Kepler means these host bodies no harm — and even comes to cherish them intimately like lovers. But when one host, Josephine Cebula, is brutally assassinated, Kepler embarks on a mission to seek the truth — and avenge Josephine’s death.

    This was a super interesting concept, and for the most part I enjoyed it, but there was just something about the narration and writing style that I just didn't like. I couldn't really connect with our main character, and I didn't really care about what happened to them. I enjoyed the plot and how things revealed themselves, but some of the flashbacks got a little confusing because I was listening to an audiobook of this.

    Overall, it was okay, I definitely enjoyed The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August more than this. Although, I did have some issues connecting with that one as well. I'm not sure if Claire North is an author for me.

    2.5/5 stars

    The concept was awesome and some of the story was fascinating. However, the book lost me about 1/3 of the way through. I wanted to like the book but it was just not for me.
