Change in Time by Robin Nyx is the second (middle child) in the The Extractor Trilogy published by Bold Stroke Books.
This book is the second in the series and most likely a nice bridge between the first and third books (I had yet to read the 3rd installment when this review was written), but as a stand-alone story it isn’t very strong.
It continues the time traveling missions of Delaney and Donovan, but spends far too much time on the cliffhanger ending from the first book and the consequences of Landry’s actions.
The new relationship between Landry and Jade is very strained, but I don’t feel the dialogue nor the actions of the two characters is done very well here and doesn’t do much to convey that strain.
Landry does a 180 with the way she has been treating her mom for years in the span of a few sentences. That is something one would need more time to work out.
Honestly, this book took me two tries to get through. The first time was when it first came out and I couldn’t even get through half of it. I put it down and didn’t bother to give it another go until now that book three is available. I still struggled with it, but made it through this time. I didn’t want to jump on book three without having read book two.
If you are going to read this book, I highly recommend that you read book one first to get a handle on the characters better.
I was given a review copy from the publisher for my honest review of the book as seen above. I didn’t hate the book, but overall it is lacking.
Book Description from Bold Stroke Books
Working in the past is hell on your future.
Landry’s life has always been about doing her duty and giving it her all, and when they have to stop a deranged serial killer in the past, she tries to stay focused. But now, with Jade Carter always on her mind, her worry about Delaney’s mental welfare, and her attempt to have a normal life, things feel more complex than ever before.
Plagued by nightmares and memories of the woman she left behind in Nazi Germany, Delaney knows things have to change, and she’s the one to make it happen. But making those changes may mean she loses Landry forever. When she sets her plans in motion during their mission, she has no idea how it will end. Will their differences demand the ultimate sacrifice?
I will be reviewing the all three books in this series. Stay tuned for review of Death in Time coming soon.
Books in this series are now available.
I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley in return for an honest review.
