Review of 'Signal' on 'Goodreads'

Continuing on from the first book, I'm glad this one wasn't a rehash and using the same concepts of the first. It's new and fresh, but a well worn idea: being able to tell the future and how to fight evil.

I liked that it wasn't too mind trippy, it left me with a cogent frame of reference but didn't try to twist time and plot lines around too much. It's the same "what happens if we know the future and change it" concepts but put to novel use.

It helps that it is set in areas that I know, making it easier to visualize what's going on.
