I get Freebooksie emails daily offering me free ebooks to read on kindle and have read a few good time travel novels. If I like a novel I have gone on to purchase the next in the series which sometimes is free and other times not free. I will write a review of each one in order from my least favourite to my most favourite.
Number Five
Amazon.com.au : The Time Travel Trailer by Karen Musser Nortman Kindle edition.
These are three books about a family whose mother purchases an old fashioned trailer. She discovers that if you stay in the campervan overnight, you get to travel back in time to the place the van is parked and to the era the van furnished. If the carpet and furniture come from 1956, the van will take you back to that time. It made for pleasant reading, but I could put the book down and pick it up at any time with no urgency to discover what happened next. I liked that there were three books to read, although somehow I read them all in the wrong order.
Number Four
Amazon.com.au : A Loop in Time by Clark Graham
A flying vehicle from the future crashes and the pilot wakes up in hospital in the 1960s. That is book one. In book two, a pilot goes back and tries to kill Hitler as a young boy with disastrous consequences. In the third book, the main character does not want the time machine built in the first place. Again, I read these books in the wrong order, but they still made a good read. Let me add that the time machine is the same one in all three books and the stories all connect.
Number Three
Amazon.com.au : In Times Like These by Nathan Van Coops.
A series of two books at least, I think there are more. But I have read the first two and in the right order. A group of young adults get electrocuted and land in the 1980s. A criminal also travels back in time, and they recognize him for the crimes he commits in the future are very similar to the ones they are now seeing in the past. I enjoyed reading this. The second book was a pleasant surprise to read as I was expecting the same characters to travel in the past again. Instead, the story introduced a detective from the 1980s trying to work out these unusual crimes committed in her town. That is the crimes committed by the criminal from the future.
Number Four and Five
Amazon.com.au : Middle Falls Time Travel Series by Shawn Inmon
and
Amazon.com.au : Then She Vanished by Nick Jones.
I couldn’t decide which book I liked best as they were both brilliant. I read the first Middle Falls book before reading Nick Jone’s book. It is about a man who commits suicide due to an event that happened years ago to his brother. But instead of dying, he ends up in his body as a boy and goes through life again. Can he stop what happened to his brother? It made me rapidly purchase the next book in the series about a character introduced in the first book, who also died and woke as a young boy. As each book in the series came, I did not hold back purchasing and devouring each one. What can I say but brilliant?
I read, And Then She Vanished straight after reading the first Shawn Immon book and enjoyed it even more. But the reason I have not put his book as the top favourite because I have yet to read the next book in the series which I very much cant wait. The story is about a teenager who looks after his sister at a fair; only she disappears. His life is changed and ruined form that time on, until he discovers he can time travel. The book has intrigue where did she go? Can he travel back that far in time to save her? The book introduced a few characters, and now the timeline changed due to him going back in time. I want to see how he will reconnect with these characters in the second book coming out in April this year. The author initially entitled the book The unexpected gift of Joseph Bridgemen, and he had self-published the book. However, he then went to have his book published for him and has changed the story slightly, and the title makes it easier to follow, making it even better.
