Great read! Was gripped from the start and kept intrigued throughout. Felt like I really got to know the characters and the story was cleverly entwined between them all. absolutely recommend

First of all I want to say thank you to Netgalley and the publishers as I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the premise of this book but I wasn't drawn in to the style it was written. I found it quite hard getting drawn in especially at the beginning as it felt a bit chaotic with the dialogue and there are quite a few things that happen throughout the book that are not explained or seem irrelevant, and I felt as though the book just built up to what could have been a good ending but then ended which was quite disappointing.

Another fabulous novel from the author of The Gift Of Time. The plot is very clever and highly original. I found it fascinating and totally engaging from the very beginning.
The author has that rare skill of being able to create numerous vignettes in the same book, fill them with well drawn characters, and then mould them into an impressive ensemble.
There's plenty of fantasy here but the story is also grounded in the harsh realities of life and death, and all that comes between.
There are many thought-provoking and poignant moments and the ever present risk of disturbing the space-time continuum. I highly recommend this book.

Not my style, I wasn't able to get past the first 10%. The world wasn't one I was able to get into and I wasn't a fan of the writing style.

An interesting premise…slipping through time every full moon because of the circumstances at your birth. I was intrigued by this thought. Curious what would be done with it. However, this is clearly a “book 1”. We met a large cast of “slippers” each with their own tragic past, but then barely got to the action when the book ended. Now I have more questions than answers!

Thank you NetGalley, Matador, and author Julie Walker for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Slipped by Julie Walker follows the story of Jess who finds herself slipping out of this reality and time every full moon at the same time to spend precious stolen moments with her deceased father. It is a story that pulled me in with its premise and kept me invested to see how it all played out.

Why I loved this book
-Strong Premise with a set up I had not encountered before
-Unique Character voices that made it very easy to attach to and follow individual character arcs
-A certain air of mystery as the reader wonders not only what happened on the night Jess and those like her were born but what gives them the ability to slip now.

What didn't work as well for me
-Pacing between individual sections was uneven in some places leaving a bit of disconnection between reading sessions

Who I would recommend this title for

Readers who enjoy speculative fiction with a could mystery at its core will love Slipped.

I read this book thanks to NetGalley. October 16th 1987 had two things happen. One: many fathers died. Two: many girls were born. Jess, one of the baby girls born, has always “slipped” for ten minutes every night since her birth. Now, approaching her thirtieth birthday, she’s ready for some answers. I found the premise of this book to be so unique and intriguing. We get so many back stories and points of view which I loved. I enjoyed the writing style and felt like the sub plots were interesting and not overwhelming. However, while getting so many backstories added a lot of interesting information it also added a lot of confusion trying to keep everyone straight. Truthfully I felt like I needed a flow chart to graph the families and other connections. My other main issue was the ending. I understand a sequel is planned so I get the set up but I think an event that happens in the finale changed the whole story for the worse and could have been left out while still allowing the sequel set up.

Amazing storyline, multiple character perspectives, and different timelines. I could not put this book down and can't wait for the sequel! Thanks, #netgalley

Absolutely amazing book loved every single minute of it :) fantastic story !!!! 10/10...the storyline was just brilliant

DNFed

The summary of this story really piqued my interest and I was excited enough to take a gamble and read it but it was not the book for me. I have trouble with books that are not well written and this was an example of poor writing. It was very hard to follow, everything felt clunky and disjointed. There were references to things and people that don't appear in the story. It was hard to follow and I was unable to finish the whole book.

I’ve just finished this book and I’m actually very annoyed! There is a “plot twist” at the end that was massively unnecessary and attempted to make a story out of something that didn’t need adding to the book-no spoilers but seriously it shouldn’t be used as a plot point. The rest of the book was fine-the story was quite good except nonsensical. The dialogue between basically ALL of the characters was very poor-at the start of the book a drunk man says he’s falling for another character after having met her only a few hours earlier at his sisters wake that she’s staffing. Right ok sure. The general interactions between all the characters (and there are a LOT) just few very clunky and there are constant references to people being upset/annoyed at other people that are never discussed-the story just moved past them as if they never happened so why include them?
