This book really explores the idea of what happens when you meddle in Time and dimension...but have no way of returning.

Book two follows Diego in an almost Subplot/side story as he lands at the top of a tree in the wrong place...and the wrong time. After nearly dying Diego has to get used to the idea that he has to adjust to his new reality and move on.

Just like the first book, the loss of the character's infant twins is a huge factor, so pregnancy loss/infant death needs to be a warning. Also there is a lot of Sexual content (not spicy per se, just integrated into the storyline) which I'm not a fan of but it was tasteful.

While this was a good stand-alone, it was frustrating for me to read it as the follow up book because it only had a small impact on the movement of the series plotline. One of the major characters doesn't appear at all. It is very focused on the Male Main Character from Book 1 and new Female characters who we grow to love.

I enjoyed the narrators and found their use of accents very helpful to the story. I usually listen on 1.5 and I listened to this book on 1.75 comfortably.

The second in a Syfy trilogy, Lost Time (2024) by D. L. Orton is a small book (220 pages) in the Between Two Evils series. An apparent time traveller, Diego awakens injured after a crash and the story unfolds of his recovery. The narrative is told from Diego’s, Lani's (his Doctor) and Shannon’s perspective. There is little science fiction background, apart from the domes, yet there is a Cessna plane and a traditional hospital ward. There are some mild amorous scenes, but concerningly, one has inappropriate action that adds to the overall disappointingly trivial and somewhat meaningless read. Sadly, it’s an unrecommendable one star, don’t bother rating. As always, the opinions herein are totally my own, freely given and without any inducement. With thanks to Independently Published books and the author, for an uncorrected advanced review copy for review purposes.

What if time travel and the multiverse are real, and the love of your life is sent on a mission... only to be lost? Now, it’s up to you to save your world—no matter the cost. This book continues the story of Isabela and Diego as she ventures into another universe, and even the past, to try and save her world, fully aware that it could cost her life.

I loved how Isabela got to know a younger version of Diego, using her knowledge of him in the present to shape her interactions with him in the past. It was fascinating to see how these moments deepened her understanding of their relationship and reshaped her perspective. While I wish we had seen more of what Isabela was up to during their brief time apart, this didn’t detract from the story—it simply left me craving more.

The ending had me so hooked that I immediately dove into the third book to see how the series resolves its overarching dilemma.

This was a strong sequel in the Between Two Evils series, it had that overall feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the feel from the first book. It had that element that I wanted and was engaged with the overall feel of this. The characters had that development that I was looking for and enjoyed getting to go on this journey with them. DL Orton has a strong writing style and can’t wait for more.

And where did Diego end up? In a world made primitive and isolated, life in biodomes, parallel and different, but shades of his past. Quite the adventure and quite the cliff at the end ...
