Hoffman has once again transported me back to Germany in WWII, (her version of it, at least). The characters feel real, like they could have lived there, despite time travel not being possible (yet). Adiel is a great character, and even when facing down an impossible situation and tasked with something that could change the course of history, doesn't run from the responsibility. Nathan is an interesting one, having lived through the Holocaust in the normal timeline, and traveling back to try and prevent it (even if he failed). His emotions really flow off the page, and you can't read this without shedding a few tears. There's a lot of tension that keeps you hooked as the plot moves forward at a good pace, and there are moments that will have your heart racing so fast you'll think it might beat out of your chest. Note: Although part of a series, this works as a standalone just fine. ( )

Adiel Goldstein is a German Jew, an art professor, a father, and he has a honking big secret that he doesn’t even know he has. His father drops the bombshell at the build up to the Holocaust and now Adiel has a life altering decision to make. Can he do it? Can he prevent the rise of Hitler and save millions of lives at what is most likely the cost of his own?

This fourth book in the Project 613 series is a hell of a whopper. Each book can be read as a standalone, but characters do cross over, so reading the other books makes this book a richer reading experience.

Are you looking for a gut wrenching read that will make you so angry you want to kill someone? A book that is sad and devastating and yet also hopeful and at times a joy to read? This book brings ALL the feels! With wonderful characters, excellent writing, and a story arc for the ages, you will not want to put this one down. ( )
