RavePittsburgh Post-GazetteThe introduction of the time travel is so adeptly written that the idea of this kind of element doesn’t seem out of the ordinary. Andromeda Romano-Lax does a brilliant job of fitting it in. The book reads like literary or historical fiction, even though many different current topics are addressed within its pages, like school violence, suicide and sexual abuse ... Although the novel starts a bit slow, about a third of the way in, it sets off and keeps the reader attentive. I don’t know if I was more intrigued by the past with Annie or the present with Ruth. Everything was so perfectly woven together, leaving me eager for more. I think the hardest thing would be knowing how to classify the book with all its different elements. I’ve never been interested in the story of Annie Oakley, but now I feel an odd kinship to the folk heroine from reading Annie and the Wolves.

RavePIttsburgh Post-GazetteMs. Brazier builds a convincing atmosphere of the isolation on the ranch. Sometimes isolation is what we crave, especially when the world becomes too much ... Once at the house, the story’s pace quickens, revealing the secrets. I didn’t see these secrets coming at all, and I’d like to think I’m good at figuring things out from scattered clues. This author is a breath of fresh air in an oversaturated, congested world of thrillers. Watch out, Gillian Flynn—mystery thrillers have a new ingenue and her name is Eliza Jane Brazier.
