For fans of time travel and suspense, look no further than the Rembrandt Stone series. Book two is just as exciting as the first installment. In No Unturned Stone, readers get more insight into why Rembrandt is on a mission that involves time traveling to the past to solve cold cases that he never closed. Readers also realize that with every visit to the past, Rembrandt changes something in his “present.” Is he ever going to find the right timeline to bring him back to his wife and daughter – I’ll have to wait for the next in the series to find out!

The series so far has been full of intrigue and drama! I love that Rem gets a second chance to get some of his old cases right, but with each time he travels to the past, he has to untangle the time line when he gets back. This is a great adventure series for suspense fans. I’ve also enjoyed the audio. Shout out to James Rubart for his great narration.

Overall Rating:
5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)

Suspense Rating:
5 stars (Non-stop edge-of-your-seat suspense from start to finish)

For fans of police detective novels and time travel

Cast the First Stone is a time-traveling adventure story. What would happen if you were able to go back in time and fix your mistakes? This is the question facing Rembrandt Stone. As an ex-police detective, he has a stack of cold cases haunting him. But the one case that has eaten away at his soul is a series of bombings at a café. Rembrandt receives the gift of a watch, and when the watch works, it ticks back time. He finds himself right back in the middle of the café bombing investigation. Of course, as any good time traveler fan know, if you change something in the past it sets the future into a different trajectory.

For fans of intense action and suspense

Nine by Rachelle Dekker drops readers into the middle of the action. A woman and a teenager are being chased through the woods by men with guns. The girl barely escapes but has no memories of who she is and only a vague idea of who she can trust. Zoe Johnson finds the lost girl, Lucy, and takes her in. But Zoe doesn’t realize that Lucy is no ordinary girl and the entire government will stop at nothing to bring Lucy back into their custody.

I’d classify this story as sci-fi/dystopian. The suspense is intense from start to finish as readers try to put the pieces together. Who is Lucy? What happened in Zoe’s complicated pass? Tom Seeley heads up the hunt for Lucy, and he’s an interesting character. I loved trying to figure out if he was a good guy, a bad guy, or both. The action is pretty intense and a few torture scenes might be over the top for some readers.

I found the overarching theme of the book surprising and engaging. Several characters had allowed past circumstances to dictate their present selves. They never seemed to escape their past. The story addresses the age old question: can a person really ever change? Can someone overwrite his or her past to become someone new? Several characters transformed throughout the story, dealing with past burdens and a realization that they were made for more. I was surprised that the author could take an action-driven story and bring out such poignant themes of hope and change.

All in all, this is an intriguing read, chock full of suspense. I’d put this on your TBR list if you like futuristic stories with intricate themes that really make you think.

Overall: 5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)
Suspense: 5 stars (Non-stop edge-of-your-seat suspense from start to finish)
