Timelines

by Morgan Hagey

What if you could go back in time and change the one thing you regret the most?

Gwen Waters gets the chance to find out when she’s recruited into the time traveling black op run by the FBI. In the six years since the loss of her husband and infant daughter, Gwen has been in survival mode, trying to just get through every day, barely living. Then the Transtemporal Agency comes knocking, offering Gwen a second chance at a life, and the opportunity to do good in the world.

Gwen quickly discovers that time travel is dangerous and challenging. She feels the exhilaration of having a purpose again--correcting rifts in the timeline. She also finds friends and support unlike she’s ever experienced. Gwen starts to realize that she could actually be happy. Despite the magical new life she’d been handed, Gwen can’t stop asking herself, what if her husband and daughter hadn’t died? Is it worth giving up all she’s gained to go back and undo the last six years? What will happen to the Transtemporal Agency if she decides to go back?

This is an amazingly well written and exciting book. I was drawn in early and by the middle I found myself reacting out-loud to various twists and turns. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I smiled, I cheered, then probably cried some more. I highly recommend this book as a fun yet exciting read for anyone!

Perfect book to kick off your summer reading! Life is a messy, complicated, and achingly beautiful banquet. Toss in time travel and it's a heightened feast for all the senses. Love, curiosity, and adventure are served up in equal measure. What are you waiting for?

I rarely give 2 stars to books I manage to finish. But this one is close. I’m only bumping it to 3 stars because the narrator was a major issue for me and maybe the novel would better if read.

Gwen is an FBI agent whose husband and daughter died a couple of years before the story starts. She’s still struggling with guilt over their deaths when she is recruited to be a time travel agent.

It seems to take half the novel to get to the main story. Then things get a bit interesting, but also rather convoluted. The ending is satisfying.

I will never listen to another book narrated by Skye Alley. When reading, she seems to put all the emphasis in the wrong place. She was a distracting narrator.

Wow, this book got more and more crazy as timeline overlapped timeline. It’s fascinating to imagine other timelines taking place parallel to our own. Laughed out loud when she talked about a really crazy timeline where DJT is president. Yea, wish we weren’t living in that timeline.

I felt the narration was a little uneven and hard to listen to. In her sentence phrasing, her voice would go up, then at the comma (pause) her voice would be lower. Kind of distracting.
