Description

The Bourne Identity meets Minority Report in this “truly wild ride” (RT Book Reviews) set in a futuristic Detroit—the first in #1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison’s Peri Reed Chronicles.

Peri Reed is a Drafter—a special ops agent with the unique ability to jump back forty seconds in time when missions go wrong. But this skill allows her partner, who is responsible for replacing her memory of events, to feed her false memories and set her up as a corrupt agent.

Working with Silas, a broody, intriguing psychologist trying to bring Opti corruption to light, Peri begins to piece her twisted reality together as she flees the organization she once trusted implicitly.

Peri is caught: rebuilding the memory of the night she killed her partner risks her sanity and in trying to put an end to Opti, she is only getting closer to the very faction that wants to see her dead. Can she get her revenge, or will her tenuous grip on reality leave her vulnerable all over again?

Whew! I read this book in 48 hours. I couldn’t put it down. Kim Harrison writes high-stakes like no one else and her treatment of psychology, mental health, romance and human connection is so whole, she validates humanity just by writing us. More!

Anyone know why this is twice the price on Apple Books? Assume price wrong but on my Apple Books this is 9.99 Vs 4.99 on Amazon Kindle

This book could have been at least 150 pages shorter. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I quit caring about Peri Reed and wanted to just finish the book.
A new genre, but the same solid writing & top of the line characters

Harrison's precursor short story is excellent and I can't recommend it highly enough. I have finally found time to read the novel this weekend. And it shines just as brightly. This is a thriller on simmer. A stage is set in the now, but bit by bit we also are told the past. And just as she demonstrated in her Hollows series she has no trouble adroitly juggling the different skeins of yarn in her hands.

If you like thrillers with a SF twist, a cast of characters, and an ongoing story read this.

I'm a huge Kim Harrison fan and had no idea she'd written a new series until I read about it on another forum. Poor advertising by the publisher should not deter you from picking up this book. Kim always writes strong female characters and Peri Reed is fantastic. The whole premise of the novel was wonderful and I couldn't put it down. This book is not the Hollows, but you can see the threads that tell you it has the same spirit and fully realized characters.
Kim Harrison has done it again!

I couldn't put The Drafter down once I had the time to start it. Kim Harrison is the author I would want to be if I could. She has the ability to make one believe in a world we know is fiction. Her character development is impeccable in spite of the fact that Peri Reed loses her memories by way of the plot. The ending is perfect and leaves one wanting for more. Thank you, Kim, for the beginning of what I see as an awesome series.

Already a Hollows fan, I dove straight into The Drafter finding another complex and enjoyable character. A true page turner with me rooting for the character thru the end and feeling a true sense of empathy for those that may actually have memory loss and even individuals manipulated for others' purposes. I want to see how Peri's adventures continue! Read the book. Fall in love with the true artistry of a Kim Harrison's universe all over again!

I loved Harrison's Rachel and Ivy series but this book is not up to those standards. It seemed to take forever to get through and by the time I got to the end I was just glad it was over. Sorry, but save your time and money.

Good book, hard to follow as it bounced all over. Ending was bland.
