Book Reviews of Timecross'd: A Love Story Out of Time
Book Review: Surprisingly Good Time Travel Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I ran across Timecross'd just perusing Amazon for some time travel novels and thought I'd give this self-published novel a try. After sitting on my to be read pile for a while, I finally picked it up and give it whirl. I'm glad I did.
Timecross'd is mostly the story of Abigail Ross. Brilliant but flawed after a troubled childhood, Abigail creates the Time Loop or Loop which allows you travel back (and forward) in time. Abigail is an abrasive, somewhat cold, self-centered woman and luckily puts together a team that can deal with her fits of pique, which are frequent. Zachary Walker is an historian that Abigail convinces to join her team and the two form somewhat of a symbiotic pair. He can ease her rough edges with his soft, likeable personality.
All goes well until Abigail, having funded the project out of a well endowed trust fund, must seek outside help. I don't want to give too much away here as what happens next drives the novel as the Time Loop gets loopy and Abigail and Zach are caught in the middle, or multiple middles as the case may be.
The one drawback to the novel is the ending. I would not call the ending unsatisfying as it does basically fit with the rest of the story and it did not leave me with a "that's it?" feeling as I am with some novels. Nevertheless, it does seem to me the author didn't quite know how to end the story and came up with one that left a few questions to ponder and didn't completely close all loops, so to speak.
Despite what I thought was an odd ending, the novel is fast paced, entertaining, and ultimately satisfying. I do wonder why it could not find a publisher, it's better than most novels I've read.
Summary of Timecross'd: A Love Story Out of Time
Dr. Abigail Ross is a woman with a problem. She's invented the Loop, a machine capable of sending people through time, yet she?s the last person in the world you?d want to have access to all of history. An abusive father and murderous mother have left her a headstrong alcoholic, emotionally inaccessible, and completely incapable of love. Pity no one bothered telling that to her partner Zachary Walker, the timid history professor who has inadvertently fallen head over heels for her.Too little too late, Abby discovers true love. But, with the typical bad timing of this pair of timecross?d lovers, the Loop is stolen, Zachary is killed and Abby finds herself in a strange new world where she is a second-rate technician and engaged to a guy named Paris. But Zach?s death is only the beginning of their love? and adventures. Award-winning playwright Sean K. Thompson has created a thrilling new novel based on his successful stage play.
Timecross?d is your typical tale where boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl loses boy, girl finds boy, boy dies, and then the real fun begins....
