Change in Time by Robyn Nyx
5.0
The second book in the Extractor Series had a change in tempo for me. Whilst the book still had the same level of sexiness and tension, i didn't find it quite as exciting and fast paced as the first book BUT and it's a big BUT i still really enjoyed it. So much so i may read read the first and second books again before moving onto book three!
That all sounds rather contradictory but all credit to Robyn for being able to write and plot so well.
Book 2 is like most books/films that aren't standalone....it's the 'middle' book and usually a majority of people loose interest in the middle of a series, because it doesn't hold the same thrill level as the beginning and the end.
However Robyn transitions beautifully from the excitement of meeting new characters and a new world in Book 1 to a more in-depth discovery of these characters and they way they think, feel and connect.
Landry and Delaney's friendship gets pushed to the limit in Book 2 and this theme of friendship and boundaries is well explored. Similarly there's the question of how far will Landry go for love and will she actually allow herself to fall in love?
The inner workings and development of the key characters is so much greater in this book, that whilst the action may have slowed slightly, the book still moves forward and the reader still feels like the story is building to it's end. There is so much explored in book 2 character wise that i'm sure re reading book 1 would reveal things missed the first time around in the haste to finish it.
Robyn certainly shows her writing talents off in this book and the ability to keep the attention of her readers. Without a doubt this book whilst different from the 1st is far from the 'middle fluff filler' book one can sometimes expect. Buy it, read it, reread it, you won't regret it.
*Another author that sneaks onto the back/future read list!
