After a small dip with The Eternal War, this is back on track. City Of Shadows, the sixth book of the proposed nine in the series, is fantastic.As usual, all my other books get ignored. This is the series for me at the moment and I can't wait for EVERYTHING to be revealed.If you haven't read the previous five books, I really don't know what you're doing reading this book. Yes, each book is a standalone book, but there's so much backstory included, that you do need to have read the previous books, in order. I have read them since the first book and eagerly devoured them since. I did not like The Eternal War, book number 4 in the series, but it's very obvious that Alex has a huge plot all mapped out in his head. And every series has their weak points - hello The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon.Book number five left us with a cliffhanger, and this book picks up straight away from that point, with a slightly irritating prologue but that's over within a couple of pages. And it does all make sense the further on in the book you get. Maddy, Liam, Sal, Foster, Bob and Becks are still there, but they face big revelations in this book. Revelations so big I was nearly bouncing on my seat and squealing. Quite embarrassing when you're on a bus full of people. Revelations SO big that I didn't see it coming, but everything makes sense now. Kind of. These are the kind of revelations that make you realise every little thing you read has been a lie (maybe?) but still leaves you panting eagerly for more.There are still a few tweaks here and there I would make, if I was the author, but I'm not. There's nothing major. Just let me have the next three books NOW Book Review – Time Riders, City of Shadows by Alex Scarrow 4/5This is the sixth book in the Time Riders series. I have to admit I was beginning to tire of this series the last two or three books repeated teasers from the older books but didn’t take us anywhere nearer the answers. The storylines, although set in different eras, didn’t enthral me. This book though, has changed this; we finally have some answers! We see how the agency was begun and why many of the curious happenings link together. Warnings and strange events that just didn’t add up now do. I am finally satisfied.The story also has a good storyline with the team fleeing from two more genetically created pursuers. We see the mistakes they make and the lengths they travel to correct them as well as the distance in time and location to become hidden again. Towards the end there is also a time altering event involving Jack the Ripper in London. I won’t say much more as I don’t want to spoil the plot, however, if like me you were beginning to feel these books were becoming stale then with this one they are revived again. I already have the next one on my kindle so it won’t be too long before I indulge.
