Oh... My... God. There are almost no words to describe my state of mind after reading 'Shift'. Em Bailey should be applauded, and I am definitely grateful for her impeccable writing skills that never once failed to leave me questioning my own sanity.

This genre wasn't one I'd usually take to, but this book just begging me to read it, and so I did. I was pleasantly surprised.

All the characters were written so well- Miranda always left me wondering. Was she just a psychotic girl, suffering from her desperation to fit in; or was she something else entirely?

Olive, who we slowly discover, was wonderful to read. I just love the fact that Bailey could write her so realistically; blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, ending the book with the mysterious disappearance of Miranda that left the story hanging giving the reader something to wonder about.

After a day's worth of reading, I can honestly say I am half in awe of Bailey and half frightened by how much this book has made me think. Honestly, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a story filled with twists that will surely keep them awake until the early hours of the morning.
