A journey back in time forces Ashlyn to battle a dark and powerful enemy that comes from within. An enemy she must defeat ... if she is to save the man she loves.
2288 A.D. is book 2 of The Ashlyn Chronicles. It is an action-packed, time travel story ... set in a paranormal universe against a dark enemy wanting to destroy the last of humanity.
2288 A.D. is NOT a stand alone novel. We strongly, repeat STRONGLY recommend you first read Book 1, 2287 A.D. It is where the characters are first introduced and there is much to be learned about the far reaching arc of the story line and why they make the choices they do.
2288 A.D. starts where the first novel ends. It will take Ashlyn and Steven back in time almost 7,000 years. This is where the secret that Ashlyn holds is revealed. It will lead them on an incredible journey of time travel through strange new worlds, against an evil darkness that threatens to erase their future and all mankind from existence.
This book definitely started out a lot better than the last one giving me higher hopes. The problem came when Ashlyn was sent to the netherworld and all of a sudden new stuff started popping up that you didn't understand why it was happening. I can see now that they were trying to play on the time paradox, but it seems a little over/under done. Well, it was still an entertaining read and I will still enjoy the next book, I just wish more time will be spent developing a cohesive story for the readers.
This is the second book in the Ashlyn Chronicles. The first was decent, I'd give this one 2.5 stars a solid "meh." Not sure that I will read the third book in the series unless I can get it for $0.99 like I did the first two. The first half of this book was decent, with some interesting elements, like a time-changing wave, and a unique look at a robot dominated society. The second half, while Ashlyn was battling within the Nexus dragged. I had to force myself to keep reading, even putting the book aside a few times.
What a wild ride. It takes off from where the first book ended. (To be expected) However, if you think you knew where the story was going, hang onto your hat. You're in for a wild ride. It was one of those fun reads. You won't be disappointed.
In the second book of this series, the main character is Ash. She will face a lot of challenges, and a couple of major shocks. I am sure that the readers will enjoy the book as much as I have, and will be looking forward to reading more later in the year.
