This was a quick read and a relatively enjoyable one. I went back and forth a lot of times between liking the story and just wanting to roll my eyes at it. The characters were pretty good and the idea behind the book interesting. But there were just some things that were so ridiculous to border on stupid. Just one example: am I really supposed to believe that half of a US army base is going to be used to track down and take in one wayward girl? Even if she is a general's daughter, there is just no way that I would believe that. And don't get me started on the end. I knew what was going to happen with the characters long before we even got there, and I had no problem with it, but the reason behind it? Forget bordering on stupid.
I also went back and forth with Kori. Sometimes I loved how she talked/acted/thought, but other times she really ticked me off. She could be so immature and would make the worst decisions because she just wouldn't think.
The one character I liked was Noah. He was great to have around and if I end up reading the next book, I'm sure he'll be my favorite again.
Cade and Dylan are obviously key people in the story, but really weren't that memorable. Though Dylan does seem to like this Kori a lot more than the rest judging by his actions throughout and that could prove to be interesting going forward.
So Kori is the daughter of an important General. She lost her mother a while back and since then, even though she knows he loves her, her father has been more distant than ever. She has always moved around a lot so she isn't really close to anybody and finds happiness pretty much only in her art. When her dad leaves on another trip, he sends people to pretty much babysit her like he always does. This time though, they are nothing like what Kori is used to or would even expect for military guys. And as her world gets flipped upside down she finds out why. Cade and Noah are from an alternate Earth and they are there to stop Cade's brother, Dylan, from his murderous rampage of revenge. Which includes Kori, her dad, and three other people. Until now they have always been one step behind him, but this Kori is so unlike any other Kori that Dylan changes things up a bit. While Cade, Noah, and Kori are running around trying to find people before Dylan, before they die after he finds them first, or someone just for him, we find out about Cade's world along with Kori. And about how in almost every Earth the two of them are in love. This Kori couldn't be more different from his Kori, but Cade's feelings for her seem to be much more intense. And as for Kori, she can't help the attraction towards him no matter what she tells herself. When Dylan's deadline for the three of them approaches they come up with a plan to try and fool him. While the group fails in some ways, they succeed in others. And Kori makes her choice that will take her to unknown places, but just maybe she'll be able to see her mom again...as well as get her chance with Cade who never existed on her Earth.
I did like this book enough that I think, given the chance, I would check out the next one.

A bomb? Really? A bomb?? That was just dumb and so unbelievable. There were so many other ways to get to that ending that would have be better.I also went back and forth with Kori.

One thing that was inconsistent was about Kori. Sometimes they said she was the last one, and other times they talk of Dylan going on to keep killing her. So which is it?I did like this book enough that I think, given the chance, I would check out the next one.
