The Fold by Peter Clines

  The Fold
 by Peter Clines
 Pages: 384
 Rating: 4 out of 5 stars


This was a great book. The characters are believable and relate-able. It is a stand-alone story but does have some tie-ins to Peter Clines' previous book 14. My husband and I both liked this book so much we're going to buy a copy of it and 14. 

Mike seems like your average high school English teacher to his students and co-workers but one of his old friends knows better. He has been trying to get Mike to work for him and the government for years. Mike has always refused. But then he presents Mike with an irresistible mystery for Mike to solve and he just can't pass up the temporary summer job. He fully plans to go back to teaching in the fall but little does he know things will never be the same once he learns about the Albuquerque Door.

This is a unique book. It's a bit of a mystery, some adventure, some fantasy, some science fiction, some steam-punk all blended into one well-written story. 

Nate's new apartment is surprisingly cheap and in an historic building. It also some oddities that he soon notices such as padlocked apartments, mutant cockroaches, no cell service inside and no one who seems to really own the building. But Nate has other things on his mind when he moves in. He hates his job but has no money in the bank to live off of while looking for a new job. Soon he starts meeting his neighbors and they start discussing odd stuff about the building. A group quickly forms to work together to figure out the mystery of their home. Little do they know how dangerous this quest while be and that there is at least one spy among them
