Danele Rotharmel—Time Search
My Review:
This is as series I don't like to have to put down at all. My review of book #2 is here if you want to see that. I'm already looking forward to the next books, as well as being able to back up and read book #1. Now that is really rare for me, I don't start series in the middle, but let me tell you, this series is worth starting! It does help to have read the last book though, they are made to interconnect and they do!
This book opens up and quickly we are into action. A man is shredding a woman's house, she is missing. The TV is on in the house, and the newscaster is talking about a missing Dr. Ember, and his mysterious burned patient he was guarding. Looks like this is a clue to the person this man wanted dead. Who is this guy and why does he want TEMCO destroyed so badly? Was he someone he thinks they should have helped and didn't? Does he just hate good and love evil? It it really so simple as he is angry because his girlfriend is missing and he is sure they "rescued" her?
Many of the characters from the last book are in hiding, because of the super evil guy who is stalking and leaving a trail of death in his path. The new ones are all good ones to get to know, some of them were more minor characters in the last book. This series, like real life if you walked into a large work place, and the world at large, has many, many people. I really like that in this case.
This book has it all, which is hard to do! Action, Sci-Fi, romance, hate, love, forgiveness, grief, anger, the entire gambit of emotions, along with time travel, a Christian background, a clean read, a well crafted villain, and there isn't anything not to like in this book as far as I'm concerned! I love the premise of going back to be able to help people, although it would change the timeline, the way this series works it's awesome. The movie and music references are fun and it makes it like a conversation with family or friends. This series makes me wish I worked at TEMCO!
I'm happy to give this book 5 huge happy stars, and to wait for the next books in this series to become available.
Danele Rotharmel—Time Search
I’ve
always loved to read, but I hate that horrible moment when a good book comes to
an end. It’s torture saying goodbye to characters I’ve come to love. One of the
best things about being an author is having control over your own stories. I
wrote The Time Counselor Chronicles
while I was extremely ill and enduring seven years of quarantine. During that
time, I didn’t have control over many aspects of my life, but I did have
control over my fictional characters. I found extreme pleasure in the fact that
since I was the author, I didn’t have to say goodbye to the TEMCO crew—I could
just write them another story.
Time Search is the
third book in my series, and it was written because I was enjoying myself and
didn’t want to say goodbye to the people I’d created in Time Tsunami and Time Trap.
And that’s why the other books in my series were written as well. By the time I
finally sought publication, I’d completed six books. Writing, for me, was an
act of pure enjoyment. When I began, I wasn’t thinking about publishers or
reading audiences, I was simply thinking about what type of adventure I wanted
to write next. My books brought me joy, and that was all that mattered. For
years, I didn’t let anyone know I was writing. TEMCO was my personal world—my
escape hatch from illness and pain. I was afraid that if I let others into my
imaginary world, it would crumble away. As it turned out, the exact opposite
was true. Knowing that people were enjoying my stories filled my life with
incredible happiness!
I always
fill my books with suspense, romance, action, faith, and comedy. I keep them
clean, and I work hard to make them full of page-turning fun. Communication is
such a wonderful thing. I love that fact that we can relay our ideas, hopes,
and dreams to each other. My books are more than just stories, they
symbolically chronicle the way I stood up to my illness and fought it. They
speak about the value I place on love and friendship. They show that humor can
be found even in the midst of great difficulty. And most of all, they
demonstrate that a crisis of faith isn’t the end—it’s simply the first step to
understanding God on a deeper level. Life isn’t easy, but I’ve learned that
even in the middle of tragedy, God is faithful and trustworthy. That’s what each
of my characters eventually learn, and that’s what I hope my readers will take
away from my books.

Time Search’s Back Cover Blurb:
Time Search—The Time Counselor Chronicles #3
A nameless evil lurks
in the shadows…
In the wake of a recent wave of violence, TEMCO employees
are left reeling. While some of the staff are put into hiding, others are left
behind to discover the true identity of the mysterious nemesis who is
determined to destroy them all. While Crystal, Marc, and Zeke search for clues
to unravel the mystery of his real name, their enemy is lurking in the shadows
searching for TEMCO’s missing leaders. It’s a race against the clock! And as
the hours and seconds tick away, it’s anyone’s guess whose search will be
completed first. It’s a classic battle of good versus evil, and the stakes
couldn’t be higher!
Danele Rotharmel’s Author Bio:
Danele Rotharmel grew up with a love of the
literary word, and by age five, she knew she wanted to be a writer. However, her
life took an unexpected turn when a mysterious illness brought her close to
death. Eventually, she learned that a low-level carbon monoxide leak from a
faulty furnace in her home was slowly poisoning her. This poisoning triggered
severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and partial amnesia.
During this time, the hardest thing she faced
was a crisis of faith. She had to quit her job and stop going to church. She
couldn’t write, couldn’t drive, and could barely remember who she was. To say
she was upset with the Lord was an understatement. She began reexamining her
faith in light of her illness, and eventually, she came to the firm conclusion
that God is real, God is good, God is interested and involved, and God is
trustworthy regardless of tragedy.
When her illness became even more severe, she
was put into quarantine and could only talk to friends and extended family
through the glass of a window. This quarantine lasted for seven years. During
this time, she wrote the first six books in The
Time Counselor Chronicles.
Danele currently lives in Colorado where she
continues to write. Although her journey back to health was long and difficult,
it provided her with the opportunity to grow closer to God and to write her
books. For that, she is forever thankful.
