Echoes of Time (Surviving Time Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

I love (and do mean love) this series…history, romance, and time travel; these books have it all. The writer is extremely inventive…she injects many unique twists and turns. The books never get old; I read them at least once per year. I love the characters, both main and supporting. Every woman deserves an Etienne. My only complaint: why did Serene’s vernacular need to include so much crudeness (I’ve never once hear a woman yell about the need to aerate her vagina) and stupidity (Drunky McDrunkerson, really?). I might flatter myself, but I like to think I’m smart enough to assimilate should I ever time travel. But that issue aside, I highly recommend.

The first two books were excellent, but this third book, not so much. It was good, but the ending seemed rushed and a little confusing.

Well, what an ending to this very unique tale of time travel. Not sure I've ever come across Calia's view of time travel. To say I was completely caught up in Serene's story would be a complete understatement. I loved this story of finding an all encompassing soulmate and willingly giving up all you've ever known to become a part of his world. I felt the end was rather rushed and would have wished the story could have continued, perhaps to see Livingston restored to complete health and possibly married to his childhood friend, to know the children to come and if the home survived to present day. Plenty of fodder to pen a book four. Suffice it to say I was totally engrossed, loved the main characters, and would read it all again.

Thoughts, countless emotions, nostalgia and endless love. I’m still reeling after having finished reading this third book of The Surviving Time trilogy.I continue to mull over so many parts of this story almost to the point of obsession! I absolutely loved it! I’m now left with bittersweet feelings and anticipation for more from Calia Read!I took my time savoring every word, re-reading sections or lines at times, putting my kindle down and walking away wanting to prolong the inevitable approach of the conclusion at others. Their story was coming to a phenomenal and epic end but I could only imagine how it could continue! The expertly developed and compelling characters of Etienne and Serene are forever in my heart!Calia Read chronicles their adventures in such a unique and enthralling way that I felt as if I was right there experiencing events with them and immersed in their lives. She adeptly and intricately weaves events and describes their challenges in a way that I visualized the scenes vividly. Her depictions and imagery are etched in my mind’s eye.I sincerely hope that this is not the end as I have become immersed in the story of Belgrave and want to continue this magical journey through time with all of these captivating characters. This is truly one of my favorite trilogies of all time!

This book gave me chills! I’m so used to reading the all trending Mafia/Billionaire romances that reading something so unique like this takes my breath away. I’m always a fan of time traveling and has been looking for a good book when this came across. This series is definitely a gem and I never wanted it to end. Please write more time traveling romance because you’re so good at writing it!

I don’t think this third book was necessary.SpoilersIn book 1 there are biblical references that hint at the sins of Serene’s ancestors needing to be corrected and they cause her to go back in time. There’s a reason for the time travel.In book 2 Serene is trying to get back to the man she’s fallen for in the past and trying to determine if she has a place in his life when he seems to have moved on without her. There’s also a tie to Serene’s ancestors again, though it doesn’t seem as strong as in the first book.In book 3 everyone starts happy, more or less stays happy (aside from poor Nat?), and ends happy. There’s no authentic reason or rhyme to why anyone needed to time travel. The very end of the series was a strong attempt at being climatic but really felt forced.I think if you’d taken the content of these two books (minus much of the third) and brought it altogether into two total novels you’d have a very satisfying pair.As an aside, please tell me that someone tells poor Livingston not to go to war. Sheesh, what a thing to not wrap up.

What a wonderful story, with everything I love. Romance , mystery, paranormal, suspense, history, genealogy. Can't wait for the next book.

This has been such a great journey. I love how each character grows during this series. The writer has done a great job in helping me create a connection with each character and understand their course of actions better. I love seeing Etienne in the present day and how he comes to realisation how much Serene has to give up to be with him. As always, Serene is strong and assertive. She knows what she wants and works for it and I love her for that.This book includes other characters’ POVs as well and it’s a good way to understand them more and kinda build up the tension in the story.I am so happy that I had a chance to read this series. It is by far my favorite. I love every character and the ending was enjoyable too. It’s a nice way to end the main characters’ story and introduce a setting for Livingston in King of the South.Would highly recommend!!!

*Spoilers* - What an ending to a fantastic trilogy. I was surprised by the epilogue. I thought maybe we would see Serene's and Etienne's baby but the twist makes me believe there are more books to this story. I hope we see more of their love story and the rest of the characters. I like how the story delt with the two Serene's, it was a fitting end to the old Serene. I just loved this series and can't wait to read more.

Now that Etienne has come to his senses - hey, he has to have some flaws, can't be 100% perfect - things are supposed to be good.Except, Serene can't seem to stay in one time. There's always something that needs to be changed in the past and for her to go back and try and fix things, in the present.I loved that Etienne got to time travel to the present, he got to see for himself all the things Serene has told him about, in the previous books - mainly technology - and loved how their relationship has evolved and grown, throughout the three books.I also loved the side characters and the glimpses into their stories - which we will be getting, in a spin-off series, yay!All in all, it's a great conclusion to the trilogy, and can't wait to read more, see what they're doing, in the spin-off series.4.5 stars.

I’m so sad that I’ve finished the series. I can tell you right now if you love an angsty, enemies to lovers, second chance at marriage with a dose of time travel on the side, please read this. Or at least the first book. It’s so beautifully written. You get so drawn in by the writing that it literally sucks you in like it did to me. I think I’ve changed my sleeping pattern countless times just by staying up all night reading this series.
