I like the science fiction aspects of this book very much. Author Jason Halstead skillfully creates a vivid world in a parallel universe. I’m assuming the portal takes you to a parallel universe. I guess it could be time travel but I imagined it as a parallel universe. My only complaints about the book have to do with the sexual teasing, that is, there is a bit too much text devoted to the build-up to the lesbian sex. I realize that a slow build-up to romance and sex is interesting and exciting whether it is in film or in print, but I think the story could have worked well with less emphasis on it. I did start reading the second book in the series and it seems the sexual teasing only becomes more prevalent. I think it detracts from the science fiction aspects of the story. In any case, the book is well written and I do recommend it for adults or maybe young adults.
