Time Travel

This is my first book by Rebecca Hefner, and I couldn’t wait to finish the series. Excellent story line, kept my attention. The story actually caused a few late nights, where I couldn’t get to sleep, as I wanted more of the story. The characters were well developed, I could see each unique person. I loved I could not predict the story, full of twists, turns, and some surprises. Time travel, government henchmen, romance, failed experiments…. Just a great story.

I felt the narration could have been better. It was smoothly spoken and well-modulated, however there was little distinction between the voices, especially male voices. I was disappointed here.

This is set in the future, after a nuclear war which devastated the world. Lainey is a genius, and was raised to believe she had to save the world. She needed to build a time machine and prevent the damage her grandfather caused. With time travel there are so many questions and possibilities. The author did a good job answering these questions, and giving plausible explanations.
