Dead Time (Between Two Evils #3)
D.L. Orton, author

Adult; Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror; (Market)

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 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 fix the time machine before it's too late.

What could possibly go wrong?

Plot/Idea: 8 out of 10
Originality: 9 out of 10
Prose: 9 out of 10
Character/Execution: 7 out of 10
Overall: 8.25 out of 10

Assessment:

Plot: This is a well plotted novel. Shannon’s forced marriage and escape from her kidnappers was an attention grabber. Diego encountering and reacting to alternate versions of his wife and daughter was also compelling. However, the story felt rushed near the end when, as if the author was trying to wrap everything up.

Prose: The writing flowed very well and the movement between the characters’ POVs from chapter to chapter was smooth.

Originality: A virus that wipes out most of humankind, a time traveler whose blood may contain a vaccine, and the threat of the biodome malfunctioning provide for a unique story.

Character Development: Shannon’s and Diego’s situations and their desires reflect how their characters can change and adapt to events, giving them a realistic feel. Unfortunately, Lani’s main focus for the majority of the novel is wishing for Shannon’s return, giving her character little depth.
