"Scientists are not after the truth; it is the truth that is after the scientists. - Karl Schlecta"

Advanced Physics student Elisa Robledo was selected to research Project Zig Zag with a team of some of the greatest scientific minds on the planet. But 10 years after the project was unexpectedly terminated, her colleagues are suffering horrifying deaths one-by-one, and she gets a terrifying phone call that confirms that she could be next.

Zig Zag is sci-fi deeply entrenched in physics and the possibilities of viewing events of the past - for research purposes, of course...

Hits: The science is lofty, but not written in a way that makes non-scientist's brains blank out and scramble. Each character appears to be equally deception. There are enough secrets to go around, and we aren't completely familiar enough with each character to know who's innocent and who's a maniacal supernatural serial killer. The diversity of the characters - Spanish, American, Russian, etc. I love it when a cast goes international. 😀

Misses: If I had to read about how beautiful and sexy and shapely the MC was, I was gonna gag (I actually think I did a few times). Trust me, we get it. She's pretty, all the men wanted to sleep with her. MOVE ON! And we definitely got robbed on the big reveal of the outcome of the project. Only 3 past events? Come on! There was SO much we could have seen! Finally, the ending. Um... less than satisfying.

Three stars, because it held my attention and I kept anticipating a huge dramatic ending that was only partially delivered (points for a slightly unexpected twist).

Serah J Blain Seriously -- so many eyerolls over the unending references to Elise's hot body and how badly everyone wanted to sleep with her all the time. It was RIDICULOUS.
