In Chasing Shadows Back In The Light by Amy L van Rijthoven, we follow Vivian and a young man named Andy as their paths cross. Vivian is consumed by the need to find her missing sister, Rose, who vanished outside a liquor store back in 2005, and her search leads her straight to the bizarre anomalies at Boulder Mountain. At the same time, Andy is just a struggling teenager dealing with a very difficult home life before getting pulled into underground delivery runs for a wealthy man named Marco. Once Vivian starts chasing clues regarding a space-time rift called the Void, Marco sets Andy to watch over her because of the unexplainable blackouts she keeps having. Their paths cross in unexpected ways through the bizarre occurrences of this mountain landscape where physical laws break down. Will Vivian unravel the profound puzzles surrounding her sister before these competing dimensions tear their world apart?
Chasing Shadows Back In The Light by Amy L van Rijthoven is a mind-bending paranormal mystery that alters how a reader perceives the progression of time. The writing style really strengthens the sense of dread by treating the landscape like an unpredictable antagonist. The book pulls you right into the story because the author treats the non-linear timeline as a fluid maze where past and present events collide. The notion behind the Void offers a fascinating exploration of human grief, depicting how far a person will go to correct a past tragedy when the universe itself begins to warp. The deep tension between the characters carries the high-concept physics beautifully, making the complex ideas about alternate realities fascinating to follow. Each chapter adds another layer to the overarching mystery, keeping the suspense high while building a really eerie atmosphere around the mountain. If you’re a fan of stories that challenge your perception of time, you’ll love diving into this world.
