SYNOPSIS:
Delancy Sullivan has always known there’s more to reality than what people see. Every time someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world branches off from the existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed… all of these choices create an alternate universe in which an echo self takes the road not travelled and makes the opposite decision. As a Walker, someone who can navigate between these worlds, Del’s job is to keep all of the dimensions in harmony.

Normally, Del can hear the dissonant frequency that each world emits as clear as a bell. But when a training session in an off-key world goes horribly wrong, she is forbidden from Walking by the Council. But Del’s not big on following the rules and she secretly starts to investigate these other worlds. Something strange is connecting them and it’s not just her random encounters with echo versions of the guy she likes, Simon Lane.

But Del’s decisions have unimaginable consequences and, as she begins to fall for the Echo Simons in each world, she draws closer to a truth that the Council of Walkers is trying to hide… a secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
Everyone has wondered about the “what ifs” in life. What if I had not taken the bus that day? What if I had just listened to my parents? What if I hadn’t eaten that much ice cream? That Delancy can walk between these parallel universes is intriguing enough—that there are secret councils and people keeping them all in harmony is even more so!

The colors on this cover are absolutely gorgeous. The image practically dances, everything from Del’s hair to the long lines of her dress give great visual motion. Paired with the description, we can’t imagine there’d be any better cover for the story. This one is pretty perfect.

Erica O’Rourke is also the author of the Torn Trilogy, a YA paranormal romance series involving magic, boys, and a murdered friend’s secrets!
