Series Info/Source: This is the second book in the Time Rovers series. I bought a copy of this as an ebook for my Kindle.Thoughts: This book picks up where the second one left off. Jacynda is in a trouble for some of her actions in book 1 and ends up being pulled in as major player in some politics going on in 2057. She gets sent back to London 1888 on a mission to find the famous Harter Defoe. She needs to return him to the future or be sent to prison, however, things are very complicated. Back...

Possibly either long winded or just taking her time, I liked this book a lot. Yes, excellent world building, a fresh turn on old tropes and a clear writing style and I enjoyed this book and the series in general. Read!!!🌹

When troubled, TEM, as he was known, would meditate on a painting of black holes and red dwarf stars, a rare Perkins original. This time it was the M.C. Escher, the one with reptiles trudging into a puzzle and out again in an endless circle. Ralph turned back to his chronsole. If Morrisey was boring holes into the Escher, things were going south in a hurry.Going south indeed, as the plot becomes more and more convoluted. “Middle book syndrome” comes to mind, but I’m not sure I’d go as far as to ...

Second in Series

This second book in series is keeping the momentum going in the storyline with lots of action, twists and turns. A really great read looking forward to the next.

I enjoyed this one and loved who Defoe turned out to be! The plot is thickening with 1888 not proceeding as it should be and TPB and Guv at war with the Rovers caught in the middle. I still love Alistair and Keats! We find out that Keats timeline isn't progressing the way it should, or that of the murdered women in the book. It wasn't mentioned if Alastair's lifeline is off as well but it appears that Jacynda is to blame for Keats timeline being messed up, though I wonder if it's really her faul...

Jacynda Lassiter is continuing her time travelling adventure in 1888, but she has orders to locate the greatest of all Time Rovers and send him back to 2057 without his consent. It's a catch-22 situation. If she does as she is ordered, she will be labelled a traitor by her contemporaries; if she doesn't, she'll be sent to prison for a decade.Meanwhile, Jonathon Keats is still looking for an Irish anarchist and the missing explosives. With his inability to use his shape-shifting, Keats's troubles...

In Virtual Evil, the story picks up a few weeks after the end of the first book. Jack the Ripper is still at large, but has stopped killing for now. The anarchists' plot was interrupted, but their threat is more real than ever, and not as simple as it seems. John Keats is badly injured and now an anarchist target. Alastair is grumpy, over-protective and having career troubles, and Cynda is still at the heart of dangerous events, unable to return to her time before the mess of 1888 is fixed. In t...

Book Review of Virtual Evil by Jana OliverJacynda Lassiter's latest assignment is a double-edged sword: find the greatest of all Time Rovers and send him to 2057 without his consent. If she returns Harter Defoe to the future, she'll be branded a traitor to her kind. If she fails, the punishment is a decade in prison. As Jacynda searches her conscience and the back alleys of Whitechapel, Sgt. J...onathon Keats presses his hunt for an Irish anarchist and the missing explosives. Unable to use his s...

While I thought Virtual Evil didn't quite live up to Sojourn, and while I found that it began rather slowly - it felt like a mid-book lull, paving the way before things explode - it slowly got its hooks into me and then got thoroughly under my skin. A tense, entertaining, enjoyable read.In a lot of ways, I felt Virtual Evil was too obviously a Book #2. It picked up from the events of Sojourn with the sense that the reader should remember everything that happened in the first book. While I don't ...
