Publisher's Summary

If time shattered, taking away everything you loved, how far would you go to get it all back?

Arriving at a lodge in Norfolk for a long weekend retreat, a group of friends meet for a 30th birthday celebration. Before the weekend is over, five of them will die. 

Trapped in a 33-hour time loop, only Hal and Kara have the ability to alter fate and prevent the deaths of their friends. But in order to unravel the secrets hidden within their own past, they must first learn how to adapt to the new rules of their reality. 

Time, however, is a relentless force - one which will stop at nothing to ensure that events unfold exactly as destiny dictates.

With time no longer on their side, Hal and Kara will have to decide just how far they are willing to go to free themselves from their perpetual prison, and exactly what they are prepared to sacrifice to defeat an enemy that has already won.

Only one thing is certain: every action has a consequence.

Great start to a series!

I’ve already reviewed this story on Amazon, but I got the audio book as a refresher before I start reading the second and third books of the series. The audio version is incredible! Highly recommend it!

Very Good

I really liked this book, and I'm excited to see what happens with the next book.

A Must for Fans of Time Travel

Marnye Young and the team at Audio Sorceress continue their great work with this performance of Sean McMahon's novel, FIR LODGE. Fans of the author's work should give this a listen for a fresh perspective. Hilarious and heart-warming, this story of two friends caught in a time loop has something for every reader looking for a new adventure. There are plenty of nuggets for fans of time travel movies and stories. Dont miss FIR LODGE.

Time to Get Busy

An entertaining trip into a series of time that repeats itself until a plausible sequence of events releases the MCs. Brilliant in all, a tad confusing with the multitude of names and angles for a couple of chapter, wonderful references and writing. Marnye Young is a treasure to listen to. In my Indie reviews, I like to try to sum up by adding movie ingredients to sum it all up.

How to make Fir Lodge -
Ingredients:
3 cups Groundhog Day
2 Tbsp. Ghost
1 cup Source Code
1/2 Butterfly Effect
A pinch of Hot Tub Time Machine

Directions:
Combine Groundhog Day, Source Code and Butterfly Effect until batter is thoroughly mixed. In a separate bowl, sift out Ghost until the interaction scenes are left, then apply them to mixture. Bake at 350 until golden brown, frost with time paradoxes and garnish with Hot Tub Time Machine for color. Enjoy!

From start to finish this book had me hooked

From start to finish this book had me hooked. The suspense held me captive right up until the end. I found and highlighted several favorite passages along the way and loved all the witty banter and hilarious chapter titles. Addicting, thrilling, and a real page-turner. McMahon weaved this story together magnificently considering there are so many characters and timelines to keep track of. I was blown away by the ending and cannot wait to start the next time paradox adventure that awaits our Restarter friends.

***The Narration was absolutely flawless! I loved how the narrator brought this book to life and gave each a character a real and tangible voice. I was amazed at how well this translated to audio and cannot wait to hear the rest of the series in this format.***

I can't remember how many restarts

Absolutely amazing book read it multiple times and love it more each time! hadn't listened to the audio fully until now thanks Maryne for brining this to life!

Love the book

Great book, can’t wait till the second part is on audible. I found listening the second time I was taking in so much more than I did the first time and I could picture the story! Will def be one I read multiple times.
