In this unique, fast-paced twist on the time-travel genre and the first book in a trilogy, sixteen-year-old Alex is a spinner--one of a rare few who can rewind time to review past events at a devastating cost
Hated and feared because of her ability to find the truth, sixteen-year-old Alex lives with the rest of the small population of spinners at Centers--compounds created to house and protect them. Alex's society uses the spinners' skills to solve major crimes but messing with time comes with consequences: no spinner ever lives past the age of twenty.
At sixteen, Alex is in her prime--until time sickness strikes early. When she is offered an experimental treatment, Alex sees a future for herself for the first time. But the promising medication offers more than just a cure--it also brings with it new alarming consequences.
