Pintip Dunn’s MALICE is a young adult time travel book that completely enthralled this reader with the many twists and turns and an eventual ending that left this reader positively spinning in her seat.
A voice who claims to be, and sounds like it could be, Alice, but a future Alice. She is so shocked that she does what the voice tells her do, humiliate herself by proclaiming her love to a boy she has secretly crushed on forever in front of the entire school. Then it wants her to kill him in order to save the world? If it wasn’t happening to her, Alice would have thought she lost her ever loving mind.
Boy oh boy was this book good. It starts out a touch slow and a little confusing. Yet, the characters are multidimensional and well fleshed out. Then after a five or six chapters, this reader thought she had it all figured out and the disappointment of a book failing to meet expectations started to set in. But this reader never puts a book down until it is finished, so I persevered. And that perseverance paid off in spades. When MALICE picks up the pace, the storyline absolutely takes off. It takes readers down one path only to switch to another and then another and then your mind simply reels. By the time the book ends, all readers can do is simply lean back with a very surprised WOW. This book was nothing like I thought it would be. And it teaches a lesson to boot.
This reader doesn’t have any idea where Pintip Dunn plans to take readers with the next book this author writes, but one thing this readers knows for certain, I will be there eagerly awaiting it. This was one really good book.
