Review
'Using short chapters, tight writing, and cliff-hangers, the author pulls the reader along at breath-taking speed. Never once was I bogged down with too much teen angst or unnecessary details... the novel is a fun read and will appeal to science-fiction lovers. Parts of the book gave me pause and caused me to dwell on the 'unseen' and the idea of other dimensions. It's clean, wholesome entertainment for teens, especially for teen girls. Even if they aren't drawn to the usually male-dominated science-fiction themes, there are enough relationships, boyfriends, and best friends in Ripple Effect to keep them reading.' -- The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good page turner,
By Mercedes (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ripple Effect (Time Thriller Trilogy, Book 1) (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
Here's a different story from the norm. Elizabeth is determined she is going to run away from home; she wants a normal life with normal parents. Her best friend Jeff plans on talking her out of it on the night they are supposed to meet at the old saw mill. However, Jeff is there and Elizabeth never shows. While her parents head out to church she takes a bath behind a locked bathroom door. After dozing off in the tub she wakes up in a whole different time. Everything is similar but not the same. She's now Sarah, who lives with her boyfriend Calvin. As the title says, it's a time thriller. Sarah and Elizabeth switch places, but how? Only God knows. Elizabeth will soon discover that Calvin, Sarah's best friend Rhonda and David are not what they seem. Meanwhile, Jeff and his cousin Malcolm are looking for a way to get Elizabeth back.
This is a good fast book. I read it in a day. I knew Calvin wasn't all he appeared to be from the beginning, he was too interested in everything Elizabeth did. I enjoyed the book, if you are looking for a page turner with some suspense this is a good choice. My only reason for not giving it 5-stars is, even though it was a good read, I just didn't love it.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting, energetic story,
This review is from: Ripple Effect (Time Thriller Trilogy, Book 1) (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
Elizabeth is fed up with being embarrassed by her parents, and decides to run away. She convinces her best friend Jeff to leave with her. When she doesn't show at their meeting spot, and can't be found anywhere, Jeff is under suspicion for her disappearance. But she didn't run away. She had a bath, and when she got out, everything seemed slightly off. She had traded places with her "time twin" in a parallel universe. Can she stay strong when everyone is insisting her name is Sarah? Can Jeff figure out what happened and get Elizabeth back?
This was a very exciting, energetic story. There were plenty of twists and turns as Elizabeth and Jeff tried to figure out what happened and how to fix it. Jeff was a great hero. He was likeable, and very determined to get his best friend back. I felt bad for him that he was under suspicion from the police. You could see them trying to railroad him, simply because there was no other explanation that made sense. It was very frustrating, but Jeff stayed strong. His cousin Malcolm was an interesting guardian, leaving Jeff by himself quite often, trusting him to do what was right and needed. Malcolm did assist whenever he could, and made for a complex yet understandable secondary character. I really felt sorry for Elizabeth. She was thrust into another world where everything felt kind of familiar, yet very wrong. Everywhere she turned, people were insisting she was Sarah. Her inner turmoil and struggle to figure out who she was felt very real. I couldn't imagine being in that situation. Especially when the people around her were slowly revealing that they were hiding big secrets from her. Overall, this was an exciting story. I didn't realize it was the first in a trilogy until after I was done. The story was complete, without any threads left open. I can't imagine what the second book is about, but I will definitely be looking for it.

Page turner,

This review is from: Ripple Effect (Time Thriller Trilogy, Book 1) (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
I really loved this book. I thought it was a page turner. I could not put it down. I thought the concept of the story was interesting- alternate reality/parallel universe. I hadn't read anything like that before.
As for being a kids' book, there are scenes of strong violence, so it probably isn't appropriate for a small child. Other than the violence, the book was clean. There was no sex or vulgar language. I enjoyed the book as it spurred some psychological discussions with family and friends. I wish I could find more books like this one. I liked it so much that I read the other two books which follow this one. This was my favorite of the three.
