Seven at Two Past Five by Tara Basi is a story that revolves around an old button maker, Abi. She lives a solitary life and loves making buttons.

The main character Abi experiences a recurring nightmare but one day she is delighted to not see that nightmare. However, her happiness is short-lived as she is accused of a preposterous crime that drastically changes her life. Everyone around her turns against her and then she encounters a creature named Zero, who grows older every time she sees it. I found the character Zero appealing as he remained devoted and stayed by her side even when she sometimes behaved rudely with him.

After being accused of not having Terrors, she decided to fight for her rights against the unjust justice system. She fights for her innocence and ultimately rediscovers her true name and genuine self.

I liked the author's writing style though sometimes it is difficult for me to move forward with the story due to the slow pace. But it's a good choice for those who love to read slow-paced books. The book is best fit for readers who love to read mystery, horror, and storylines of a fantasy world. It contains some bizarre and if you are sensitive to religious content then this book is not a good choice for you.

Overall, I would give this book a 5 out of 5 rating. As a fan of fiction, this book was perfect for me, even though I struggled with the pace at times. I couldn't put it down, always eager to find out what would happen next. Abi's journey to rediscover her true self is captivating and delivered with the perfect tone for her character. It felt like I was experiencing everything alongside Abi. For me, courtroom scenes are captivating and funny. The book is full of suspense and humour, making it an engaging read.
