Rating: 5 out of 5

I was surprised to say the least with the raw talent that J.H. Walker brought to her story Rewrite Redemption. From the title alone you get a tiny sliver of an idea as to where the story could go, but that sliver is nothing compared to what is inside the cover.I look for core parts of a story to stand out and make a point and paint a picture. Walker goes to the roots of story telling with her tale of mysterious time travel and the way it changes the lives of 5 teenagers and their families. Yes, that was a tiny spoiler, and I apologize for it.At the heart of it all is a story that is grounded in a level of lore that I am not even sure the author intentionally knows she did. I hope she explores that conceptually in future books, and I hope that there are more in the series. This story is so solid, that it needs a good cast of characters to draw the reader past things that can sometimes turn people away. Enter science. This is a topic that can and does derail some stories, thankfully it is so well woven into the fabric of Walker's tale that the few times it seems out there, you can move past it. The characters are the centerpiece of this cosmic adventure, with crisp details that bring them to life. There is no blur between who is who, and why a person even has a place in the story. It all clicks, into a perfect harmonic tune.All in all, I was thrilled with this book and am anticipating more from this rising star of an author.
