The Third Rule of Time Travel is my first book by Fracassi, and WOAH, what a phenomenal read it was. I'm a sucker for all things related to time travel, and this novel didn't disappoint. The Third Rule of Time Travel has a serious hint of horror in it, a creeping sense in the background that something has gone horribly wrong. It's like a discordant humming in your ear – you know something is coming, you know it, you can sense it, but you're not quite sure what it is. Just amazing writing by Fracassi.

The main character, Beth, is a bit flat when it comes to characterization, but it doesn't really matter because the rest of the book is so interesting that you don't care. Gah. This was so well done. I highly recommend this one – especially if you're like me and love time travel stories.
