Dead Time is Book 3 of the Between
Two Evils Series by DL Orton.
With her daughter, Shannon, being held
captive in a dilapidated biodome inhabited by religious zealots, Lani decides
to rescue Shannon, by herself. However, an accident in the Bub causes her to
reconsider her plans and leave her daughter’s fate in the hands of someone
else. Shannon, realizing how right her mother is, finds herself in a world
where men greatly outnumber women and the very few women left treat her with
contempt. In the midst of them is Peter, a beacon that shines brightly in
Shannon’s life.
Meanwhile, Diego is faced with the
greatest surprise of his life so far, and what more, he receives another note
reminding him that his time is running out and instructing him to find the
Magic Kingdom.
The mystery and excitement continue in
this third book. Consistently told in conversational tone with a fairly steady
pacing, the story is just as exciting as the first two books, Crossing in Time and LostTime. DL Orton keeps the readers
in suspense by alternating three subplots: Shannon in Catersville, Diego in
C-Bay and Lani in the Bub. I find all subplots quite engaging, though with a
teenage romance in the mix, Shannon’s story appears to be the most exciting.
The other two, however, offer unexpected turns of events and surprising
revelations that held me captivated until the end of the book. I find the
ending very satisfying with one loose end tied up pretty neatly with a promise
of more exciting events to come in the next book in the series.
So glad to hear you enjoyed Shannon's story!
