The problems don’t stop there. Rayen, Tony and Gabby’s battle to save their MystiK friends triggers a collision course of two worlds 166 years apart.

Countdown begins now for when the Red Moon sets for the last time

 

Review:
Time Lock by Micah Caida is the 3rd and final book in the Red Moon series. This is considered Teen/YA, but it is a very well written and exciting story for all. The Red Moon series is a mixed genre between Fantasy & Sci Fi, with a little bit of everything from exciting adventure, time travel, sort of dystopian, powerful beings and creatures, and a beautiful romance.

Time Lock picks up immediately after the 2nd book left off. Rayen, Gabby and Tony are back to their time. Rayen has been taken off the Institute premises; Tony is falsely accused and locked up in a room, and Gabby, is trying desperately to control her powers before someone sees her floating in the air. This is just the beginning, but with the help of a friend, Rayen escapes and with Gabby’s help, they free Tony to use that special computer, which takes them back to the future and the Sphere.

Time is of essence, as Callan’s life is in danger, with only hours to save him. The enemy wants the computer that allows them to pass through time. Of course, they don’t know that without Rayen, that computer will not work. This is a difficult review to write, as I do not want to give any spoilers, and if you have not read the first two books, this could also be very confusing. You can read my review on the first two books for a refresher (Time Trap/Time Return), or you can buy the books and read them for yourself. Which I suggest you do.

What follows is a wildly exciting story with Rayen, Gabby, Tony joining hands with Callan, Kaz, Jaxxson, Kenjia, V’ru in a fight to the finish to save them all. They must go against a villain who will stop at nothing to destroy them. There is also traitor among them, who feeds the enemy information that stops their attempts.

With all this non-stop action ongoing, there is such a sweet and beautiful romance between Callan and Rayen. It was beautifully done, as we wanted them together, despite all the obstacles facing them, including Callan’s sure death on his 18th birthday. Can Rayen save him? Will Rayen recover her memories, and find out who and what she really is? Is there any chance that Rayen and Callan can be together? Will Gabby find a way to stay with Jaxxson? All this and so much more will be answered at the end of the book. You really need to read this book.

This was a wonderful story set in a complex, dangerous world that was very exciting, and through ¾ of this book it was an enthralling race to a wild and climatic finish. Micah Caida has created an imaginative world that is complex and detailed, but the amazing thing is that it is explained so well; and all the pieces were so nicely put together at the end.  Caida has created such wonderful characters, even though they are teens, they were tough and mature; we couldn’t help root for them. Micah Caida has written a wonderful series in Red Moon, that ends with Time Lock. If you want a wildly exciting story in a futuristic and complex world, I suggest you give this series a try.

    • Hi Candi – (for those who don’t know, Candi is the official welcome wagon for my Street Team – sign up and you’ll get a personal hello!). Thanks for the lovely endorsement. 🙂

  15. This was an amazing series! It is so difficult to talk about it without giving away spoilers because so much happens in it, and it is so exciting! The review is great! I loved how everything comes together in the end! Awesome!

    • Thanks, Heather, but you’ve posted some wonderful reviews, too, which is hard. When someone asks “us” about it, I try to think of what I can say without giving up a spoiler. I get stumped. 🙂

    • Yes, Fran, you are right. These three books are tightly connected so you definitely want to start with book 1. That’s why we’re so glad to have all three out now. We had to hide while we finished book 3 bc readers were yelling “where is it?” 🙂 thanks for coming by.

  24. Awesome series!! Great read for young and older readers. As part of D. Love’s Street Team it was a fun change of pace from my normal reads.
