Lost Time is the second book in the Between
Two Evil Series written by DL Orton.
On his mission to save
the love of his life, Diego travels in time. His malfunctioning time machine,
however, delivers his pod up a tall evergreen tree. The climb down leads to an
unfortunate incident and Diego wakes up with an injured head and several broken
bones and lying on a hospital bed inside an aging biodome in an alternate
universe. To top everything off, Diego learns that Isabel is not in any of the
existing biodomes and his effort to save her is all in vain.
Diego has nothing left
to live for. However, his kind and caring but evasive doctor would not give up
on him. With both of them nursing a painful past and both facing an uncertain
future, they find solace in each other. Then Diego receives an unexpected note
that says Isabel is still alive.
Just like the first
book in the series, Crossing in Time, this is a very
interesting and mind-boggling story that will keep the readers hooked from the
first to the last page. Every chapter offers new information, whether
about the alternate universe or about a character. The author writes coherently
and concisely that every detail is significant while every event is intense and
engaging. The characters, both the pleasant and the unpleasant, are
solidly developed and are distinctly portrayed.
However,
just like the first book, I find none of the conflicts resolved. It seems like
the author will keep the readers in suspense until the last book in the series.
Though it holds my interest and makes me stay put for the next book, other
readers may not be as patient. Moreover, this style of writing may prevent some
readers from enjoying each book as a standalone.
Despite my unsatisfied
curiosity, I enjoyed this book a lot, that I even felt a sting when it ended,
and I recommend it to fans of sci-fi and romantic fiction.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
