Today I am on the Book tour for The Reckoning by D.M Taylor. Thanks to Stephanie Rabell of Books and Wine Lovers Marketing for my invite and for the copy of the book to take part.
What if you could see someone you lost, again? Or undo a decision you deeply regret?
Dr. Barrett has discovered time travel. But what she thought would help set the past right for both her sister Ruth and herself, might be the catalyst for their destruction and the downfall of their country.
Betrayed by the one she trusted most, will these sisters survive? Or will they run out of time?
One thing about book blogging, I love discovering new authors! D.M Taylor is a new author for me. The Reckoning is the first book on a series, a time travel, sci-fi thriller with a slow burn romance running through it. I wasn’t really certain this would be a book for me, so I began to read with an open mind.
Such a compelling book! I didn’t know how this book would work out,but I’m so happy to say that, even though there is sci-fi and time travel which can be confusing, I was on the edge of my seat.
Taden is the main character and I warmed to her straight away. The characters are all so intriguing, I liked the character growth as the story unfolded. Taden’s was clear as she had a not unusual, complicated sibling relationship with her sister Ruth. It was great to see them really get to know each other throughout the story. All the characters are fascinating and I thought they added extra depth to the book too.
D.M Taylor has expertly woven an engaging and thrilling tale that had me engrossed and drawn into this world, from the minute I began the first chapter, until I finished the book. I do adore a story that has that power, especially as I wasn’t sure of the book when I sat down to read.
This was a book that kept me thinking about it long after I had finished it. It was a really skilfully written story that ticks a lot of boxes for almost any reader, this is because of the blending of the genres. It really works well. On to the second book…when I have time anyway.
