Broken Time — Emily Devenport

They say Time can't stand still. They're wrong. Siggy Lindquist was looking for something better than the life she left behind. What she found is a job at the Institute for the Criminally Insane, home to the galaxy's deadliest criminals - human monsters caged for the rest of their unnatural lives. Now all Siggy wants to do is get through each day with her safety and sanity intact. But when two of the Institute's most dangerous inmates take an interest in her, for their own twisted reasons, she is caught up in a potential war between two races - a war that only a forgotten secret from her past can prevent. Desperate to avert disaster, Siggy finds herself in a galaxy-spanning race against time - and time stands still for no one. Or does it?"A stunner of a novel from a very talented writer.
