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 (Time Return) 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 (Barb’s reviews – 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.

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful ending to an amazing series! I never know what to expect with the last book in the series. It's a big deal. This is what it all leads up to and what it will always be. Thankfully, Micah Caida did an astounding job with one of the most wonderfully complex and detailed series I have read. It was a fun series to read because it was fresh and like a puzzle. I loved how Rayen had no memories, but it did not overshadow the story. Eventually some pieces would be revealed, but it wasn't the focus of the books. She always had some obstacle to deal with, and she handled it, even though she had no idea who she was or where she came from. Her versatility, actually, all the characters' versatility made one hell of a world. These were some really tough kids!
Time is most certainly of the essence in these books. It is very significant to the story, and it makes the series very enthralling. The fact that this is the last book really makes that countdown even more remarkable. They are constantly traveling to different times, running against time, and changing it. In fact, the book begins with Rayen locked up trying to get to her friends, so they can time travel to help Callan on the Sphere. They only have a few hours to get this all done, so this books moves fast, like, hold onto the the edge of your seat fast! It starts off right where the other one left off. Right in the middle of a situation and the exhilaration never ever stops! As the dilemmas unfold, little tidbits of information from the other books were mentioned, and refreshed my memory. As I said, these books move fast, so the little reminders are perfect and very helpful!
There are many different phenomenal aspects to this book, and the series. There are people going back in time and destroying the lineage of an entire family without much effort. There is the possibility of binding souls together, and it is a very touching and moving concept. There are so many different characters with all kinds of personalities and abilities. The varying perspectives gave the book a lot of depth. It was fascinating to see the Red Moon world through multiple individuals. It was captivating to see the children handle predicaments much better than the adults, and to see the impact working together had on their world. You see very contrasting individuals become best friends, and you see each of them grow so much in such a short time. It is impossible to not become attached to these kids! For example.... V'ru....heartbreaking!
I can't believe how much ground Micah Caida covered in just three books! It is a truly jaw-dropping accomplishment. The ending of this series is bittersweet. I wish I could go back and meet all these characters for the first time again because I'm afraid I seriously underestimated them. The journey of the Red Moon series was riveting, fast-paced, and I'm so glad I can say I have done it! If you pass up these books you are missing out on an epic adventure with a brilliant ending!
By the way, I received this book in exchange for an honest review
