Dead Time (Between Two Evils Book 3) Kindle Edition

by D. L. Orton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (171)
If someone took everything you live for, how far would you go to get it back? From award-winning author D. L. ORTON comes book three in the Between Two Evils series... Shannon fights to stay alive inside a rogue biodome and discovers something totally unexpected... Peter. Lani is forced into the role of the reluctant heroine but rediscovers her street-kid mojo and sets out to find everything she's lost. Diego receives another dirty sock (and a note) from the poorly aimed fireball express: "The window between universes is closing." If Diego has any hope of getting back to Iz, he must get to the Magic Kingdom and power up the time machine before it's too late. What could possibly go wrong?

From the Author

Dead Time, the third book in the Between Two Evils series, is an action-packed work of cross-genre fiction (because if I said it's non-fiction you wouldn't believe me. See how difficult this is going to be?)
Think The Outlander meets Men Are From Mars in the Andromeda Strain (with a healthy dose of Dirty Dancing).
Oh, and every word is true.

    Best series I've read in a long time, I have finished reading the first 3 books in this time travel series that's by far one of the best, the series is called (between two evils), it combines doomsday scenarios (virus that kills immediately) and time travel by the main character Diego and his love Isabelle, the first book is free on Amazon it's called ( crossing in time). If ever I recommend a book series this is it... it is intelligently written, every twist and turn leaves you wanting more, can't wait for the next 2 books, I just have to know what happens next. Seriously go get your copy now. You will be begging for copy 2,3,4 and 5.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book but Where is the Sequel?
    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    [Slight Spoilers]

    The bubble habitation is failing and the occupants need to find a new home. They look for one in the underground city (called The Magic Kingdom) where the time machine was kept in our universe. Diego was going to attempt to rescue Shannon from the religious kooks but sadly realizes that the search for a new home must take priority.

    (Fortunately, the plot with Shannon is resolved - in a most unexpected way.)

    Diego must get back to our universe. Fortunately, there is a working time machine in the Magic Kingdom of this universe. He uses it but we do not know if he returned to his own universe (it seems like he did), or if he will find Isabel. It’s frustrating because the next book in the series hasn’t yet been published.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice continuation of the series (if a little too-nicely wrapped up in the end)
    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2017

    [copied from my Goodreads review]

    [Full disclosure: I received a pre-publication copy of the manuscript to proofread but my review is unsolicited. I just need to review every book I read because #OCD]

    I really enjoyed the world & characters that DL Orton created in her first two books—Crossing in Time & Lost Time—and I was looking forward to reading more of the series and finding out how our heroes save the world!

    Dead Time picks up right where Lost Time left off—Shannon has been kidnapped by a bunch of backwoods religious nutballs while Diego is stuck in C-Bay where this universe's version of his true love Iz can't stand to look at him.

    We find out Shannon was taken to be put into an arranged marriage, Bella (this universe's Iz) believes Diego is her universe's James who supposedly died twenty years earlier, oh and yeah, some of the biodomes might be in danger of collapsing...

    I'm really interested in the outline/plan Orton has for our characters. Crossing in Time set up an amazing idea—a multiverse-ending apocalypse that can only be prevented by some time-travelling, star-crossed lovers. Lost Time explored one alternate universe as one lover got sent off course to fix everything. Dead Time stays in that same "wrong" universe, is the longest book of the series so far, and doesn't really focus on the apocalypse much at all!

    There is a lot of drama within this one universe, but I'm still left wondering what is happening with Matt back in Earth Prime, what's happening with Tego in his universe, and where was Iz taken as she was nearly dying at the end of book 1?

    I love the ideas and characters and story lines—but there are just so many balls in the air, it's hard to remember all the details from previous books (like a note from Book 2 that appears in Book 3 or even the fact that Lani, one of the three main characters, was the street-smart girl in the first few chapters of Book 1 all grown up!). I can't help but imagine this story as a movie, but it's hard to figure out what pieces of the puzzle would make a quality film. The first two books each end on huge cliffhangers, but since I'm not a screenwriter, I guess it doesn't matter much...

    Orton does more of what she's done previously—alternate chapters with different narrators (once again Diego, Shannon, and her mother Lani). The differentiation seems to be getting slightly better from chapter to chapter—there were a few Shannon chapters that really felt like they were the thoughts of an 18-year-old girl. There's fewer R-rated scenes (none really that I remember) but still some nice romance between different sets of characters. One relationship feels very much like Diego-Iz relationship with the way the two fight (but perhaps that's done on purpose?)

    My only main complaint is the ease with which everything wrapped up in the end. It felt a little too convenient (perhaps a deus ex machina situation) how everything that needed to happen was able to happen as time ticked down. Looking back, I wonder if there could have been a different split point between Books 2 & 3 that may have balanced the lengths a little more and given the final few chapters here time to grow and events happen in a more realistic manner.

    Still, we're learning a few more details about how the time travel machine works (it feels a little like a McGuffin) like how it targets the universe it's traveling to. But we still have more to learn (like why the sock, where are the notes coming from, and how are the targeting "beacons" gathered and sent between worlds?) so I'm sure I'll be back for Book 4. Even if I don't get to proofread it!

    I wasn't sure I'd like this series, but am so glad I read the three books; wish there were more! I truly didn't want it to end. I love stories that I can't figure out how they're going to end, and this one proved my wrong several times. I appreciate the humor that's thrown in, every now and again.

    Following a time-traveler in a dystopian future where a deadly virus has destroyed most of humanity and forced the remainder to live in sealed environments, this novel wraps up events from the previous two books with a very satisfying ending. I fully enjoyed the switching viewpoints, and found the characters well-fleshed-out and compelling. I really cared for them all, and felt the author had built a believable world with sound scientific background for how events played out. I am looking forward to more work by this gifted writer.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Read!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is the third book in the Between Two Evils series. I think this is the best story so far. I loved it!

    Diego is a fantastic character. I really liked him. He is kind and loving. In this book his cheesy/pun-y speech is not as prevalent. However, this is due to the more serious subject matter, as well as him not being the central focus as a main character so much.

    This story continues on from the end of book two and the reader is taken on an emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end. This book focuses on three of the characters: Diego, Lani and Shannon, who each have their own chapters, though Shannon seems to be the main character focused on in this tale. There are also several new characters introduced and I must say that I felt sorry for Peter and the others living under the thumb of a meglomaniac (even though he was Peter's father). I really enjoyed watching Peter and Shannon's relationship grow. They make a really lovely couple and I wish them all the best. Meanwhile, Lani finds herself facing a life changing experience and locating a man long thought dead, and Diego is still determined to return to his Isabel in his universe.

    Again, I found some of the story a little repetitive plot-wise, but there are a few twists that made up for it. There are also a few surprises thrown in for good measure, which kept things interesting. There is also an abundance of action, romance and danger that had me sitting on the edge of my seat more than once. This story doesn't end in a cliffhanger as such. There is an epilogue at the end that sets up the next book in the series and introduces a new character. Now I'm wondering what's going to happen next and I can't wait to find out.

    DL Orton has written an intriguing time travel romance. I enjoyed her writing style, which is not as fast paced as some other authors I've read but it still had me turning the pages. The flow of the story is a lot smoother than the first book in the series and this made it a more pleasurable read. I would definitely read more of her books in the future.

    There are no scenes of an explicit nature, and there is no mention of sexual activity (apart for some kissing) in this story. Having said that, I do not recommend this book to younger readers (under 16) due to the nature of the story, as well as some violence which could lead to a triggering event for some readers. However, I do recommend this book if you love dystopian or time travel romances. - Lynn Worton
