Time Warp: A Twisted Love Story
Trapped in a lifetime of wrong turns and regret, Danny is a lost man desperate to reinvent himself. When the family business is sold and Danny receives a sudden influx of cash, he devotes his time and money to mastering the art of time travel. Delving into his troubled past, Danny begins constructing an alternate life narrative to fulfill his biggest dreams and abolish personal tragedies. He ignites a love affair with his childhood sweetheart and achieves his ambition to fly airplanes. But the reboot comes with a price. As the secrets of Danny’s time machine come to light, murder and mayhem erupt around him. Dueling life stories collide and Danny spirals into madness, pulling others into his dark universe. The line between reality and fantasy is not only blurred, it becomes smeared with terror – and no one around him is safe.

Story = Loved.
I've heard of Brian Pinkerton but have never read/listened to any of his stories. I'm glad I decided to listen to this one. I’ve only listened to a few time travel-related stories. When the narrator told me it was “quite out there,” that’s the best way to describe this story. It was a crazy, sad, and eye-opening. There were so many twists and turns, always leaving me thinking I knew what was going on only to discover it wasn’t exactly what I thought.
Narrator = Loved. I think I finally figured out that Joshua Saxon is American… maybe. Not that it matters. He does such a great job with whatever voice/accent he chooses.
I only had one random question: when the two boys break into the warehouse, Danny “pulled on pants over his boxers, then quickly laced on a pair of gym shorts.” Why the shorts?
On a side note, it makes me sad to see the lower ratings on Audible for this story. I'm someone that will give any genre/book a listen to/read. A lot of the time, I'll pick a story based on its cover and have no clue what the story is about. The fact people gave 1 or 2-star ratings because the story didn't meet up with their expectations... I'm left wondering if they thought the story was good but gave it the lower rating because of the twists in what the story is about. Of course, if you read this review before reading the story, you'll have no clue what I'm talking about.
In the end, I’m interested in hearing more from the author and am going to see if I can get my husband to listen to this story.
I received a free audiobook code of this story in exchange for an honest review.
(Amazon doesn't have anywhere to click for me to leave my review there.)
