This would technically be a 4.5 star rating for me, but, alas, Goodreads does not allow 1/2 stars.

This is a very short read, only being 10 pages, but wow. I loved it, and will be eagerly awaiting part 2 when it comes out.
The start to the Time Keepers novel introduces us to Nick and Ellie who meet on the train as Ellie barely escapes the clutches of the police thanks to Nick's help. This introduction sets us up to eagerly await the rest of the story.
Nicki paints a very easy picture of the settings and characters in my head with her descriptions, making it a great story to fall into. It's hard...more

Running Blind is one of the best short stories I have read in a long time.
Nick is minding his business on the train when he sees a girl running for the ready-to-close doors. His gut instinct is to help her get on the train, so he helps her, and then he sees the policemen running after her.
Running Blind is a fantastic quick read, and one of the most well-written short stories I have read in far too long a time. As with all short stories Running Blind gathered its steam from action and a bit of su...more

This is a short story in parts. I've read this part and now want to read the next part. She wraps you up quickly with the two main characters and now I want to know what happens to them and what is going on with the Governor. This is paranormal about different creatures, witches, vampire, time travelers, etc.
Part 1 of 4 is an intriguing paranormal read. A short entertaining escape. Looking forward to book 2.

Great start to a futuristic world where paranormal creatures are fact, not fiction. Part one ended on a big cliffhanger and now I can't wait to read part two to find out what becomes of Nick's chance meeting.
