Review:

What a thrill ride! I’ve always been fascinated by time-travel books, so I was curious about this story. But then add a murder mystery to the equation and I was hooked. Oh, and did I mention it has the added fun of being set in the '80s? Hang on because this one is a real page-turner.

Teen Silvie’s life turns upside down and inside out when a horrific tragedy strikes her family. While she struggles to keep her fractured family together, Silvie discovers a strange new world that she thought was only possible in the movies. Together with her younger brother, Silvie attempts to uncover hidden family secrets and change the past in order to save those that she loves.

While this book does not technically fall into a faith-based genre, it does possess Christian elements, such as a pro-life theme and references to prayer. Given the subject matter, the story is relatively clean but is recommended for older teens due to some violence and topics such as teen pregnancy.

Summary:

Sylvie Mitchell’s world falls apart when her sister is murdered the same night her father vanishes without a trace. Crushed with grief, Sylvie consoles her mother and younger brother alone.

But then Sylvie discovers an incredible gift: the ability to time travel. Determined to rewrite the past, she embarks on a desperate quest to save her sister, find her father, and stop the killer terrorizing her once peaceful New England town.

Can Sylvie stop the killer before she becomes his next target, or will she alter the fabric of reality trying to put an end to his rage?

Set in the late 80s, ALL THESE THREADS OF TIME is a cutting-edge time travel murder mystery that asks, how far would you go to save the ones you love?
