Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to be honest. There are some authors whose books I pre-order upon availability, Nancy Herkness, Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot, and Tim Tigner are among them. With respect to other authors, I read what the book is about and read reviews from other readers. I then decide if I want to spend my money on the book? When I started reading “The Price of Time” I had not read anything to tell me what it is about, after all, I thought I knew. From now on, I will read what even those authors’ books are about so I am not surprised. I was 2/3 through the book before I pulled it up on Amazon and read the “blurb” about it. Until that point, I kept expecting Kyle Achilles to show up and save the day. Guess what, this book is not about Achilles. Imagine my shock. Now for my review of the book. What a novel (pun intended) concept for a book, a literal fountain of youth. I love a book that is about a new and unique idea. I was impressed that, while this book provides eight people with perpetual youth, it shows that immortality is not all it’s cracked up to be. I’m impressed, Tigner, that you showed that side of something for which people often wish. Is it at this point that I should say be careful what you wish for? And then, the immortals begin to die. While at age 60 they still look 30, they can still fall victim to disease, accident, and murder. However, they are the only eight people who know about the injections, who would kill them and why? Once they decide to go down the road of forever young, they realize that while everyone they know will age normally they will never look any older than they do at the present moment. So what to do? Their solution brings a former CIA agent, Zachary Chase, into the picture. Eventually, he is joined by Skylar Fawkes, a replacement for one of the “immortals.” This is definitely a stand-alone book but I would imagine that since Zachary’s and Skylar’s histories, individually and together are in this book it would be wise to read it before the next Chase and Fawkes book hits the shelves (or Kindles). Great, creative idea, two interesting protagonists, and a well written, intriguing, lose sleep type of novel. I highly recommend it.
