If someone would've told me that I'd like some type of Sci-fi with time travel, dinosaurs, tech, heroes and so on wrapped together somehow- I would've mentally slapped them. Well well well, I didn't like it...I LOVED IT!

I don't even know where to start. Hear me out, I think this book was written by an A.I. Either that or a middle schooler trying to stretch to meet a word count.Everything in this book is superficial. Like someone Googled "top 10 survival tips" and "top 10 money making tips" and so on without actually realizing that nothing these people do could ever be possible (and I'm not talking about the fictitious time travel part).Never have I not cared about any character more than in this book. There is ...

I came across ‘Lost in Time’ when it was shortlisted for the Goodreads Science Fiction award for 2022. This is a very entertaining story blending aspects of time travel and crime. The key underlying premise for how time travel is used is quite unique. Sam Anderson is a scientist – part of a team who have invented the revolutionary Absolom machine. He has lost his wife to illness and is close to his children – teenager Adeline and a much younger Ryan. Absolom had initially started as a research p...

A fast-paced twisty sci-fi thriller that I devoured in 2 sittings.
If you're looking for a book that will suck you in and keep you hooked until the last page, then Lost in Time is a strong contender. I loved the fast-paced murder mystery plot line that was made twistier when time-travel is added into the mix!
I do however, think that the synopsis is misleading. Don't go into this book expecting it to be full of dinosaurs as they play a rather small role in the plot.

Scientist Sam Anderson and his teenaged daughter Adeline are arrested for the murder of Sam’s colleague/lover Nora. Sam confesses to the murder to spare Adeline. As punishment he is sent millions of years into the past, using Absolom the time travel device invented by Sam and his colleagues. Adeline promises Sam that she will find a way to prove his innocence and bring him back. Each of the characters in the book has one habit or trait that defines them, but none has anything approaching a perso...

I'm a big fan of A. G. Riddle. His books are smart, imaginative and serve to get you thinking about life and the world and about what we don't know yet. This story is about a traumatized young girl, separated unjustly from her father. The tale tracks her efforts and life choices necessary to find justice. The characters are great: warm, fleshed out, and likeable. It's kind of a feel good story and I'm all for those. I hope that you will enjoy this tale as much as I have!

I must admit I’m a fan of Riddle’s work! I enjoy some sci-fi but I’m very picky with what I read. Riddle’s books just hit that sweet spot for me.If you hadn’t already guessed this story is about time travel, but in an interesting way. Set in the near future, a company called Absolom now has a stranglehold on dealing with violent criminals - murderers, serial rapists and terrorists - by sending them into the past. But not some cushy, Middle Ages or Stone Age past, oh no, they get sent to the Jura...

So, this was from a standing debate with a friend over the quality of self-published works. My friend (a self-published author himself) posited that the quality is just as good as traditionally published work, citing a list of authors who started off self-publishing and they got famous. Literary giants like E.L. James, that is.Riddle was on that list so when his latest showed up on Netgalley, I figured I’d check him out. Sure enough, I stand strong on my position. Riddle, like James, like other ...

This is so poorly written I’m doing something I don’t usually do and writing a review without finishing the book.The writing is so trite: one cliche after another. For example: “He felt as though the sea was testing him, and there was no pass or fail. Only live or die. The crescent moon glowing...”Sorry, but this is unreadable. Thanks to NetGalley and Head of Zeus, LTD. for providing an ARC (Advance Review Copy) in exchange for an honest review.The book will be published on September 1, 2022.#Ne...
