This was an incredible start to a planned trilogy. Summer is going great for Joan, especially when her cute coworker Nick asks her out on a date. But the day doesn't begin as she hoped when a strange occurrence finds that Joan has traveled forward in time and missed her date. Arriving back at home, her grandmother tells her the truth about the family. They are monsters with the ability to steal time from humans to travel in time. Shocked by this news, Joan is warned never to tell anyone the truth about herself.
Wanting to explain to Nick why it seems she stood him up, they are interrupted by the sudden arrival of a rival monster family. Trying to save them both, Joan finds herself in the middle when Nick reveals that he is the fabled hero whose destiny is to kill all monsters. With her family dead, Joan is determined to change the timeline to save her family and stop Nick.
Book two will be published in 2023.
