Deleted by Ruth Mitchell is a fantastic futuristic YA sci-fi story that whisks us to a possible future and gives us glimpse of what could be. There we meet Lucy and Marco, and get swept up on an adventure where tech addiction is gripping the planet, and how she discovers that it is now possible to delete another person’s memory, and rewrite their history. She ends up in a cat and mouse game in a race against time, and memory- to outwit and outplay a memory hacker who has her in his sights. Who will win out in the end? This is well worth the read to find out.
Even though this is a Young Adult novel, it can be enjoyed by all ages from young teens through to the vintage years. It has a bit of a techno-thriller feel to it, that is full of mystery, drama, romance, danger, humour, and superb world building. It is a thought-provoking, highly imaginative, and wonderfully original read.
Ruth Mitchell paints a fascinating, and entirely plausible future picture that intrigued me from start to finish. I read it in one sitting, as I didn’t want to put it down. There were times that the story was a little predictable, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story- and there were enough twists and dramatic developments to keep me turning he page to find out what would happen next.
Deleted is my first read by Ruth Mitchell, and I am happy to say that it definitely won’t be the last! This appears to be her debut novel, so I am looking forward to seeing what else she can/will do.
Looking forward to more!

Thank you, Ruth Mitchell!

Deleted by Ruth Mitchell. This story was out of my normal of reading pleasure but I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the journey. It’s a very original story unlike anything I’ve read and I was hooked. The characters bring the story to life and completely draw you into their world. I was up well into the night because I simply had to know where this story was going and I couldn’t put it down until I knew. Each page had me trying to read faster and slower at the same time. The characters are complex and well developed. The storyline is unique and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Very impressed by this story and author. Four big stars and highly recommended. Can’t wait to see more from this author.

Deleted, by Ruth Mitchell, is a fantastic, near future novel. It has you wanting to keep reading to find out what happens. It is thought provoking and a new concept novel, both of which can be rare to find.
It looks ahead, but not too far, so things still feel familiar but have some added technology. “Spex” has taken over from phones and iPads, everything is thought controlled. Perfect, right? But, what happens when you can’t trust your own thoughts, you can’t trust that what you remember is accurate, and some memories have been eradicated entirely.
Lucy is a fairly traditional girl, she’s a book loving college student just embarking on life’s adventures. When she embarrasses herself in front of the guy she fancies she’d do just about anything to make him forget, and she finds out that her sister Mollie can actually help her do this.
Lucy’s life takes some unexpected turns, she experiences highs and lows but whatever the memories she knows she wants to keep them, which is why she runs after becoming tangled with the mysterious Nick, a memory hacker.
This is a brilliant book, and suitable for adults and young adults alike, I would definitely recommend it.

Deleted by Ruth Mitchell is a suspenseful and original story that had me hooked right from page 1. The author has created such an intriguing concept.
I found the whole book to be well thought out exciting to read. It felt like I never quite knew what might happen to Lucy which meant that I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of it.
This is one of the mouse interesting, cat and mouse type stories that I have read, the whole book was just amazing. It is the first book that I have read by this author but it certainly will not be the last. I would highly recommend this book!

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a young adult science fiction story that has a little twist of mystery to it. This is a well developed story that is engaging and keeps me turning pages. The characters made the story feel realistic. Lucy has learned to be a mindhack. The problem is she deletes everyone’s minds including her boyfriends. Now there is a mindhacker who is after her but he does this for profit so it up the stakes some. Will he find Lucy and delete her memories? This is a really great story that has some twists and turns you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

The story Deleted by Ruth Mitchell is an interesting and entertaining book to read. It is a story that pulls you in from the start and doesn’t let you go until the final page. It is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Lucy. She is a girl who finds herself deleted from the memory of those around her. What does the future hold for Lucy? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat. Reading about Lucy and what she goes through had me thinking about what would happen if lives and memories could be rewritten. The book is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. Besides Lucy there are other characters that I enjoyed reading about. They interact with Lucy and each has their part to play. This is a story that will hook you in and you won’t want to put it down. I highly recommend reading it.

Torch is the second book in the Lovelocked Series. This is a great series. I have a hard time with some young adult series, but this series is amazing. This book gives us the story of Jema and Troy. Jema’s government is after her, for something that is way over her head. There is a disease spreading through the community there is only one cure, and it runs in Jema’s veins. Branded a loyalist to her uncle and a traitor to her country, Jema, and her friends are on the run.
Fighting for their lives in a desolate desert, Jema and her friends find a group of sympathizers who will help her. And help her get the cure to the people.
This YA dystopian science fiction book has a little bit for all genre lovers. Copeland is an amazing storyteller and she never ceases to amaze me with each new book. Highly recommended for all genre lovers.

This was such an unusual but fascinating read. I have read many books by this author but this one looked a little different so I wasn’t too sure about it but it was a really good read. My interest was kept from beginning to end and I loved the unique storyline. I have only recently started reading books about time travel but it seems to be a genre I’m really getting into and so I loved that aspect of this story. As I expected the author attention to detail and beautiful description really added to my enjoyment of the story, she always brings the scenes to life and I love the characters that she creates. I loved Wilda; she was such a great character to read about. She was strong willed, witty and definitely didn’t put it with any funny business!
Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd was an intriguing read that I thoroughly enjoyed! I definitely recommend it to other readers!

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd by Christy Nicholas is a unique and interesting read. It is set in a time where time travel is possible and anywhere and time you want to go to. It is a suspense mystery that also has a lot of history elements to it. The story Christy has weaved is very vivid that you can imagine all that she describes, sometimes a little too much information that sometimes I found myself skimming.The journey was interesting but a little slow for me and I found myself dragging in the beginning to settle down into the story.

Wilda loves what she does, which is providing authentic outfits for time travelers. She has long since retired from her previous job as a Temporal Agent. When a seriously ill time traveler stumbles into her shop, on the brink of death and asking for help, she is called in to once again help the Agency.

Join Wilda in her adventure back in time to where Norsemen and Vikings reside, Africa and North America where indigenous people reside and Christy gives a history lesson on those times and an adventure to boot.

I give it 3.5 stars

I give Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd. by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars. Wilda is a retired First Nations Temporal Agent. She used to do a lot of Travelling, but now she is content with her little flat, her cat, and her shop. She is too old for the adventure anymore. All that changes when a very ill Traveller collapses on her doorstep; she is forced back into doing what she hasn’t done in ages. With her assistant, she must go back in time to figure out what is causing this strange disease. Will they be able to find it? If they do, will it be too late?

Wow. I have read other books by this author, but this was something completely different. Wilda is a great character, she is sarcastic, speaks her mind, is addicted to coffee, but smart enough to get her and her assistant out of some tough spots. The secondary characters are great too and if we are lucky enough for this to become a series, I hope to see more of them. The story itself is fantastic. You can tell the author did plenty of research to make the eras and time periods as realistic as possible. At the same time, she keeps it interesting so even if you are not big on the specifics of the time, you will still enjoy it. Plus there is the mystery element of who or what is causing this disease.

I could not put this book down once I started. If you are a fan of strong female main characters, time traveling, and adventure, this book is for you.

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd by Christy Nicholas is a mysterious read. If you are a fan of sci-fi and time travel this story is for you. Christy Nicholas has done an amazing job going back and forth from current to past with regards to time period information. Hopefully Christy Nicholas writes more stories that can be an extension of this book. The way Ms. Nicolas describes the scene make it so easy to gain the picture in my mind’s eye. I felt immersed in the story and could easily relate to the characters and what they were going through the story. The fact that there is a Temporal Agent, Wilda Firestone called out of retirement to assist in this case. She was full of spunk and her sidekick has an attitude is what is needed to help stop the murders of fellow Temporal Agents. Will Wilda be able to stop the murders? Will time travel ever be able to do so? Only time can tell by reading this story.

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd by Christy Nicholas is an interesting read and my favourite book of hers that I’ve read, so far. It is a suspenseful mystery, with sci-fi elements, time travel, history, adventure, drama, politics, intrigue…. And lots more. I am hoping that this book is the start of a new series.
Wilda Firestone retired from her job as a Temporal Agent and is now content to run her outfitters shop for time travelers. But things take a bit of a dire turn when a critically ill time traveller ends up on her doorstep. This results in a bit of a crisis and Wilda has no choice but to come out of retirement and set off on a quest to figure it all out and hunt down the source of the illness. Time is running out and there is much at stake. Will she get to the bottom of it all before it’s too late?
As usual, great world building by Ms. Nicholas. Her story is vividly descriptive and has a ‘visual’ quality to it. There were some areas that I felt were a little overly detailed and descriptive, a lot of time put into the smallest of details, which kind of interrupted the flow of the story just a little.
I liked having the glossary/pronunciation guide at the front of the book- it was handy to refer back to. The story covers a lot of ground/time- as the adventure takes us from Nth America, to Canada, Scotland, and even Africa. There is a lot of cultural influences in this story too- such as Native American Indians, and the Vikings- these touches added an extra interest and depth to the story. The historical elements were really well done too.
Mysterious and suspenseful.

Thank you, Ms. Nicholas!

“Where’s your ideal? Where would you go if you could go anywhere, anywhen??”

Such is the way this story starts. There are rules in time travel and if they are broken, a chain of events can happen to alter things beyond repair. While this is an age-old trope, there are new twists to the telling which made it fresh. This story also had a bit of humor in a few of the more “flagrant” characters.

At times the story was a bit over descriptive yet it didn’t take away from the “meat” of the story. This is a full bodied story that provides suspense as well as world building for future books in the series.

I will be keeping an eye out for future installments by this favored author.

I loved the whole premise of the story. It’s not quite like anything I have read before which made it more exciting to read. The characters were interesting and fit well with the story the author has created. This is a brilliant book and it has to be my favourite one from this author so far.

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd by Christy Nicholas was a unique fun read that had me hooked from start to finish

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something well written, original, entertaining, and fun. I was not disappointed in the least. This book pulls you in from the start, with that witty cold open, and the taste of what these time tourists are.

I think my favourite bit of this whole story is that the MC is an older mature woman, who gives no -anything- (keeping it PG here, but you get what I’m saying lol). I loved her within seconds, quick witted and just hard as nails, I want to be this woman’s friend. This story has many elements, different times and heavy with detail. You can tell care and research went into making this as much as journey through time, as well as keeping it an engaging story for the reader. There was so much that kept you reading and kept you guessing. I loved every minute of it, and with each new layer pulled back, and the deeper you got, you almost become apart of the story yourself.

Overall this book is worth your time, energy, and it’s worth talking about. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval that, you will be captured by this tantalizing one of a kind read.

The story Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd. by Christy Nicholas is a wonderful book that includes adventure and time travel. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself reading far into the night to finish. It is a book that is entertaining and very hard to put down. I loved reading about the character of Wilda. She is a retired Temporal Agent who now clothes those who travel to the past. She is a woman who is intelligent, strong, and stubborn. Wilda is also a woman whose life is haunted by emotions and memories. When a Traveler literally falls on her doorstep she finds herself returning as an agent. He is deathly ill. Along with her assistant and best friend Mattea, she must travel back in history to find the pathogen that is now claiming lives so that a cure can be found. Will Wilda and Mattea find the pathogen? How much danger are they in? They go to the past, what about their future? Read this book to find out. I loved the way that this story has so much detail. I felt like I was right there with Wilda and Mattea when they traveled. The story is emotional at times. There are heartbreaking moments. There is humor and sarcasm as well. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that has amazing and unforgettable characters. I highly recommend reading it.

Retired First Nations Temporal Agent Wilda just wants to run her Toronto shop, garb Time Tourists, and send them on their merry way into the past. She finds contentment in her cat, her sarcasm, and her whiskey. All that changes when a deathly ill Traveller literally fell onto her doorstep, setting off a chain of events which forces her to return to the job she’d retired from decades before.

The Agency sends her and her assistant, Mattea, back into three dangerous eras of history to find the disease vector threatening the life of every modern Traveller. She searches through a teeming desert bazaar amongst the luxury of the court of Mansa Musa. She explores the dark forests of pre-Columbian America, fighting against the heartbreak of true love. She gets entangled in the convoluted politics of twelfth century Norse-ruled Orkney, sifting through the horrific carnage of a murdered village.

If Wilda can’t return in time with the right pathogen, the modern scientists can’t synthesize a cure for the disease before all the Travellers fall ill. She has to navigate politics, bandits, camels, and midnight coup d’etats, complete her mission, and return to the present, or lose herself in the depths of her own purposely-forgotten past.

Can’t Forget (Solum Series Book 2) by Colleen S. Myers – Review by Emily Walsh

Can't ForgetCan’t Forget
ByColleen S. Myers
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers was a fast pace, epic science fiction fantasy drama, that has me hooked just as must as the first book.

The second book in the Solum Series, is a continuations series so I highly suggest you read the first book, as it will give you much needed backstory and get a better understanding of Bata and Marin. I very much enjoyed reading about Bata and Marin, it fit better in this book and actually added something good to the plot and at times drove it forward.

What I will say, and something I find irritating with female MC’s/the hero; was that she fell into the whole,I can do it myself trope. She didn’t listen to reason and, it bit her hard in the behind. But it’s like TV, no matter what I mutter into the book she’s an’t going to listen. I do get it, I do, it moves the story forwards, crates drama, and a deadly situation. I just didn’t like the whole “You can’t tell me what to do!” trope. No one likes to be told what they can and can’t do. But sometimes, closing your mouth and processing why a person is asking you not to do something dangerous, could save your life. I’m in the military, so I know this, teach this and stress this, to my young subordinates that have the same attitudes.

Outside of that, like the first book, we are still getting pieces of Bata’s past, this drives not only the plot but the reader. The authors does this through flashbacks, and they’re pretty intense. There is bit of a plot bomb towards the end, and you are going to have your mouths opened. I’m not going to say, cause I don’t want to ruin a thing about this original read. Not only is the writing smooth and easy to follow but the raw emotions that it’s lace with, will pull at your hearts string, snapping them, making you feel for Bata, and for the hell that she went through.

Overall this book, this series is a must read. I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s truly something special and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Happy Reading.
