A Gift of Time

A Gift of Time

Beth Flynn2016
RECOMMENDED FOR READERS 18 AND OLDER DUE TO STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND VIOLENCE. This is Book 3 of 3 in the Nine Minutes Trilogy A Gift of Time is the third installment in the Nine Minutes Trilogy. It is not intended to be a stand-alone novel, but could be read as one. Still, I highly recommend that you read my first two novels, Nine Minutes and Out of Time, to be able to understand the background stories of the main characters. There are many twists and turns in both books that can best be connected if read consecutively. Are some secrets meant to stay buried? Three months have passed since Jason "Grizz" Talbot was put to death by lethal injection for crimes he committed. His former wife, Ginny, whom he had abducted from a convenience store when she was a teenager and became the love obsession of his life, has spent more than the last decade trying to carve out a life of normalcy in the bustling suburbs of Fort Lauderdale-including a thriving and happy marriage to Tommy "Grunt" Dillon, a former member of Grizz's gang. Tired of the secrets and the lies, Ginny and Tommy thought the final piece of their past could be left behind forever with Grizz's execution. However, the past comes crashing around Ginny and Tommy when a newly discovered secret threatens to destroy their marriage. When tragedy strikes, Ginny is forced to reach into her heart and decide, once and for all, what she really wants. In this third book in the Nine Minutes trilogy, A Gift of Time takes readers from the busy tropical metropolis of South Florida into the serenity of the North Carolina Blue Ridge mountains as Ginny chases down the answers she needs. Will she have the strength to confront the secrets of her past...and her heart?

Rating: 2 Stars - Ok Nine Minute Trilogy started off amazing but with each follow up book I had issues. The book was done in 2 parts. I did like part 2 better but also had few issues with it. I will start with the good. The good - I thought I loved Grizz more in book 2 but he won me over in this book. -Loved the prologue and how it is like book 1 as the actual ending. But it does not give anything away. Readers are left wondering what is really going on. -I loved the ending and was happy how things turned out. -One twist from book 2 had another twist to it that I felt better about. Happy Beth Flynn took that direction. -A particular character from book 2 needed to be dealt with and was happy with that outcome. - great job setting up future books with other characters if decide to do a spin off The Bad -Everyone discussed the same topics over and over again. I was bored and wanted something new. -There was some life changing moments for a lot of the characters that were handled to easy. There could of been some intense moments if certain scenes were flesh out more. -Scenes were done so easy to make other scenes work out. That bothered me because I somewhat new how the outcome would be. -Some scenes I felt were never dealt with. Why throw a good scenario in there if never had an out come for it. -I thought the 2nd book was unrealistic but wow did this book beat that. It was over the top farfetched. Personally I think a toned down version of book 2 and 3 could of been one book. Even though I had issues with how the Nine Minutes Trilogy played out I still feel that Beth Flynn has a good writing voice and is an amazing story teller. After all she made me fall in love with a story and characters I thought I would never would.
