‘Click, click, click…’
As an OC native growing up in the 70’s Disneyland’s Space Mountain was the ride to be on during the hot So Cal summer months (which ran from late February to early January). Having that mentioned at the beginning of this book sure sets up the sitch right sweet!
There are soooo many other things from my childhood (shag carpet, mustard yellow home fixtures) – the author definitely did his research!


Felix uses his time travel off-time to hone his culinary skills, once to see Babe Ruth. Arielle attends concerts of performers who held meaning in her previous life. If you literally had all the time in the world at your hands, what would you do with it?


Fave line:
‘Never let a tragedy define you.’


If only I had a time travel machine so that I could jump ahead to the sequel. I guess the author’s other series will have to keep me busy and out of trouble until then!
Amelia Doss, Insanity, The Exhalls Attacks, and Wealth of Time.

Time Roller takes us back to 1978 with Arielle, Felix & Selina looking into a roller coaster incident. As with previous books the team immerse themselves into the situation to figure out what happened. While they narrow down the suspects we get some action and definitly suspense. Being that it was the 70's we didnt get much of Felix's techy side but hope that comes out again in future books. The team proves once again that they world well together. This was a steady paced suspense filled story that had me guessing until the end.

What a mammoth book, one of the longest I have read in quite a while. That is not a complaint it was an excellent story with an interesting plot with lots of twists and turns that I did not get bored with. The story developed well and moved along at a good pace. Arielle and her team are continuing to develop and learn about each other. The whole concept of time travel, whilst being fiction or is it, means that this series of stories are always interesting and I look forward to the next in the series.

Time Roller (A Time Travel Mystery Thriller) is the fourth installment of the Ariela Lucila series. This time, an accident at an amusement park in Nebraska kills five and injures many more. Ariela, following her gut, takes her team back in time to investigate the incident which leads to problems with the water and a nasty park owner. In the end, they succeed. It was an interesting book.

Another great book in the series. I found the storyline a bit different this time. We really start to learn more about Arielle and her team, and I find as the series progresses, we get to know a little more about them each time. A few surprises, especially towards the end will keep you on your feet (or in your chair) but wherever you read it you won't be disappointed. I received an ARC (Advanced Readers Copy) as a member of Andre's ARC team and leave this review voluntarily.

Another great time travelling book from Andre Gonzalez. Arielle, Selena and Felix time travel back in the 1970 to a small town to investigate a accident that killed 5 people and injured more. Once you pick up this book you cant put it down. Arielle and her team again are there to help by time tavelling back.
Well written book, I love the whole series so far. Cant wait for the 5th book to come out.

Ariel and her team are sent back in time to find out what caused the fatal accident at a . The ending was unexpected and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I also like the style of writing and the consistency of all the main characters.  Highly recommended. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was one of my favorite assignments. I love theme parks and roller coasters; I will go on any coaster! It was exciting having the assignment take the angels to a theme park! I loved how this assignment was a mystery right up until the very end. It was hard for the team to connect all the dots, and the past was tricky as usual. The outcomes can't all be happy, but this one was bittersweet. I enjoyed the fact that this assignment seemed to be more hands-on and less surveillance. I felt like there was more risk and more involvement with the suspects and players in the past. It's definitely a great book to check out if you like time-travel stories! Stand alone, but start from book one so you don't miss out on anything!

It kept me on the edge of my seat. Set at a themepark out in the middle of hicksville. Set around the scene of a roller coaster accident.
I love theme parks. Action of the Angels is very entertaining, especially the lady living over the road. Ad's character.
Keep up the marvellous work on the series. It sounds like you are going to split them up though.

A theme park accident that result in deaths and multiple injuries. Arielle time travels to investigate. Was it a terrible accident or did someone arrange for the accident. A suspenseful novel that keeps you interested.

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another fantastic reason to read this book. Full of secrets and suspense. Arielle must try to find out the truth about why there are injured and dead. Perhaps something from the past is connected. Ready for the next.

[Steve · Rating 4 out of 5]

This author keeps rolling out these great time thrillers one after the other. This one I really enjoyed from the start to the finish I didn’t see coming. Arielle and the gang certainly do get about a bit. Cannot wait for the next one to see what topic it is. Highly recommended.

[Dennis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent thriller with a time travel aspect. Really enjoyed it a lot. Always enjoy stories from this author.

Another great story from Andre. Once I started it, I could not put it down and I finished it in record time. Well worth a read. Highly recommended. Can't wait for the next book.

If you like reading time travel and/or mystery books, this series is for you. Each of these is stand alone, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not reading the others first because the way this Angel team's arc has developed is a beautiful thing to read.
This story is exciting, well-written, and easy to read. The characters and world building are phenomenal.
Gonzalez has this really amazing way with words that pulls the reader in and doesn't let go until the very last word.
