review 1: This book surprised me. I was on Edelweiss one day just looking at book, and found this one. I had requested several books before but I am always denied :(. Kind of a bummer, but I am still new. I think it's a blessing in disguise because I obviously do not read and review as many as my fellow bloggers. Anywho, I requested it and much to my delight I was finally approved for this one.It took me a while to get to it, maybe that's why I don't get reviews...hehehe. The description totally sucked me in, and I have been anxious to read it. I picked it up Friday night, and finished it Saturday. I couldn't put it down. Andrew Stilman is an investigative reporter who is on the brink of a career changing article. He in in a bar one night when he runs into an old flame fro... morem his past by the name of Valerie. This part of the book was a little too fast for me. I thought the meeting and the moving in together was way too quick, but it didn't deter me from wanting to read the rest of the story.When Andrew is out on one of his morning runs he collapses with a sharp pain in his back, and when he wakes up, he is 60 days in the past. He finds that he has the opportunity to find out who killed him, but he only has a two months to do it in.Meanwhile, he is still researching a crime involving child trafficing in Aregentina. He enlists the help of a retired cop by the name of Pilguez, and his best friend Simon. These are the only two people he has told that he has to find his murderer. He has to go on living life like nothing has happened. Yet, he keeps finding that even altering little things changes how things happen in this second time around.New evidence comes to light in his investigation, and it's exciting. This is what surprised me. The beginning seemed to move too fast, and then we get into the nitty gritty and I see why. The beginning is just an "opening ceremony" for the mess he gets himself into in Argentina.When parts of his article are revealed in this book, I found it very hard to read. I am always amazed (okay, it may not be real...but you get my drift) at the disgusting acts humanity can do. I was brokenhearted when reading his article about a little girl named Maria Luz. So, let me just say, if you get a chance to read this book, just remember to not judge the book by the beginning :).I am so glad Andrew gets to go back and "find" his murderer. It allowed for the story behind his investigation to come about, and it was fantastic. It was heart wrenching, and terrifying, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I so did NOT expect his killer to be who it was. I LOVE it when a book does that to me. I was almost certain I knew who it was, and then low and behold I was WAY off the mark. If you like mystery, suspense, and excitement you will enjoy this book.Content: There is some language in this book including the "f" word a few times, but it was not overwhelming. There is some talk of sex, but not descriptive.Source: Thanks to Edelweiss and Penguin Group (USA) LLC for this ARC ebook.

review 2: Daudzsološais sākums, ok vidus un facepalm beigas. Tā var raksturot šo grāmatu. Liekas, pats autors nevarēja izlemt, vai vēlas, lai galvenais varonis atgriežas pagātnē vai ielec nākotnē, tāpēc izvēlējās vidusceļu - abus. Sākumā lasīju ar lielu aizrautību, bet beigās jau sāka krist uz nerviem pārāk neticamo notikumu virkne. Uzspridzināt automašīnu tādā mistiskā kārtā, ka paliek dzīvs vienīgais cilvēks, no kura kaut kas ir vajadzīgs? No dzīvot dzīvi ar divu nedēļu starpību, lai tikai uzzinātu, kurš kuru nogalina? Nopietni? Nopietni?! less
