"I normally LOVE Kim Harrison but this was not the vibe lol"

"Imagine someone can erase an event that just happened and replace it with a timeline of their own choosing. It's not a large change, just thirty seconds or so, but enough to alter an event irrevocably: prevent a death, avoid a glance, save your own skin. But what if it cost you immeasurably, by losing sometimes large pieces of memory? Those thirty seconds might cost you three weeks, three months, or three years. Now imagine that there's someone there beside you meant to keep you anchored and aimed, but they're corrupt?<br/><br/>That's Peri Reed. She's just trying to figure out what the **** is going on, and uncover a conspiracy of corruption, while losing pieces of her own memory to do it. It's James Bond with a serious supernatural power and some big-time drawbacks.<br/><br/>I've been reading this off and on for a week or so, and I think when I realized that this book was really good was when I was working on a project yesterday and I had a little niggle at the back of my head about a TV show I thought I'd been watching and wanted to see more of, but just couldn't remember what it was, and I suddenly remembered that it wasn't a TV show at all, it was The Drafter and I'd be able to go back to reading it when I was finished. Yep."
