A massive conspiracy aims to save humanity from a civilisation-destroying asteroid impact. From the start, this is a rather confusing book: the first few chapters introduce different characters in different times and places and it takes a long while for the pieces to come together. Throughout, it jumps around in time — the chapters have

C.E. White’s The Worlds Next Door is a fun genre blender of all the things that I love… and if you like Sci Fi and Fantasy books, then you probably will too! In the first couple of pages, White references some of the Janie (the protagonist’s) frames of reference: the TARDIS, and Hogwarts. I think

Rating: 4/5 One of the things that stood out to me about this volume was it’s gross-factor. There are scenes where characters have puke staining their shirts and the haunted faces of night walkers going on. That being said, I did enjoy this scattered and adventurous tale of college friends. This series is wonderful in
