This story only ever has one ending.

When Everly Tertium encounters a strange man in the park claiming to be her grandfather, she is invited to visit a mysterious apartment building. There, she finds herself in a constant state of déjà vu, impossibly certain that she's already lived through these moments, already been introduced to these people, and already visited all of these rooms and floors. So why does she have no idea what's happening to her?

The longer she stays in the building, the more Everly becomes convinced there is more going on than meets the eye. Something is off, time seems to pass differently, and the people living there seem trapped. Slowly, Everly begins to wonder if she is trapped too. But would she even want to leave, if she could?

For readers who enjoy Vicious by V. E. Schwab, This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, and The Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart.

      Miles’s tantalizing and surreal debut begins with Everly Tertium on a stroll around her neighborhood. Things take a turn for the strange when she meets Richard Dubose, who claims to be her grandfather. After revealing to Everly that she has a genetic anomaly, he leads her to a 100-story building called the Eschatorologic. Everly has a gut feeling the building is unnatural, but Richard evades all her questions about its history. Convinced she may find answers about her father’s recent death within the Eschatorologic’s walls, Everly begins poking around, encountering odd residents and piecing together the puzzle of the building’s history. But the more time she spends inside the building, the more likely it becomes she will never be able to leave. Miles takes her time teasing out the building’s bizarre powers, while the intrigue surrounding the origins of its otherworldly residents keeps the pages turning. This genre-bending mystery satisfies.
