Newspaper reporter Lew Tyler and his lover, Detective Alec Carter, are working out the parameters of their new relationship. Meanwhile, time traveler Lew is trying to decide whether he wants to stay in the 1920s or find a way to get back to 2016, and Alec doesn’t know if he can bear the vulnerability of being in love with someone who uses such dangerous magic.
Fenn is a Hunter from the Outlands, come through the Border to search for the murderous Creature and its offspring at the behest of the Ternants, who maintain the balance between Fenn’s world and ours. Fenn strikes a bond with Sergeant Will Grant, Alec’s second in command, who is keen to learn more about his own magical abilities. As time goes on, Will grows keen to learn more about Fenn, as well.
Fenn has their own painful secret, and when they appear to have betrayed the team and goes missing in London, Will is devastated. He has to choose between following his heart or following his duty.
Moving through the contrasting rich and poor areas of post-First World War London from West End hotels to the London docklands, the men need to work together to capture the Creature ... and choose who – and what -- is important enough to hold on to and what they may need to give up to make that happen.

"I enjoyed the second book in this series. This is not a stand alone Lost in Time needs to be read so you have an understanding of the story line. This is a well written and suspenseful time travel story with lots of magic and mayhem. The author is so descriptive you feel like you are back in 1900's London fighting the evil from The Border with Lew and Alex. Looking forward to book 3 and how the relationships develop.

Shadows on the Border Lost in Time Book 2 edition by AL Lester Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
- In 2016, the world has split and “The Border†is a protection against “The Outlands†where “Creatures†seeking energy lurk. Certain humans have an ability called “The Pull†and are known as “Workersâ€. Workers keep “The Border†repaired. “The Border†is power and danger, if misused a person could find themselves in situations beyond their control.
Ellison “Lew†Tyler crossed “The Border†in 2016 in search of his foster sister Mira, he found himself in the year 1919 in London. Three years later Lew is still in London and still works for The Pictorial Examiner and also the police. With the help of Kelly Finn, Lew has become more knowledgeable about early 1900’s in England and he’s also learned that there’s more to “The Pull†than he thought. Lew still finds himself adjusting to the past but he’s well aware of what’s to come in the future. He’s formed new friendships in this strange new era and one happens to be with the brooding Detective Inspector Alec Carter. Their first meeting did not go so well. As time has gone by they’ve become closer, but there’s still a fragility to their slow growing and secretive relationship. Along with homicides caused by the creature “Carnasâ€, Alec is still worried that Lew will leave and go back to 2016. He also fears Lew because of “The Power†and what he’s experienced since the police force now has a division called “The Peculiar†that he oversees.
While Sergeant William Grant is searching for a murderer he comes across a strange being that has crossed “The Borderâ€. Zenn, is an Officer of the Law and protector for “The Borderâ€. He has come in search of the creature that’s been causing havoc in London. Zenn is certainly an oddity, elf like and has no gender. Zenn sheds even more interesting facts about what goes on behind “The Border†and “The Power†that he possesses. When it’s brought to forefront what Zenn’s goal is Alec, Lew and Grant have no choice but to help Zenn.
A.L. Lester takes us back in time, to the early 1900’s in London. The descriptions of the streets of London, dress and verbiage really paint a vivid picture of the time period. The storyline is packed with danger, suspense, fantasy, sci-fi and mystery. There’s an abundance of solid characters and each have interesting stories to be told. I thought the author handled Zenns’ non-gender very carefully, with how the others perceived it. The author also focused on the strange and new discoveries about “The Border†and “The Pull†and how all the characters are in some way affected by it.
Although, Alec and Lew’s relationship is sweetly subtle through out the story, there comes a point in the story when the emotions run high and it’s a beautiful moment. I’m very curious about what’s going to happened with William Grant and Zenn as there seems to be more than a connection between them.
I got hooked on the novella, teaser, titled “The Gateâ€. It’s a short read that introduces the mysterious “Gateâ€, Matty, his brother Arthur, Rob and Lin of the Frem. From there, the first novel created from “The Gate†is “Lost In Time†where we first meet Lew and Mira and how they find themselves in 1919 London and what power “The Border†and “The Pull†have on people and strange things to come. The cover art for each of these books, tells a story set back in time.
I don’t know what A.L. Lester has planned but I would definitely invest in another novel from “The Borderâ€. There’s so many characters and so much going on, there’s still a great potential for more to come! - I enjoyed reading this story of magic and love and travel between different worlds. This book starts where the first left off, and introducing a new character Fen, who gives this story a new magical twist. I liked reading Lew and Alec's chapters and seeing how their relationship grew from the beginning of the story. I liked following the start of the relationship between Fen and Will Grant and how it affected their actions. This book is not a standalone, Lost in Time must be read first. This book is full of suspense and action and magic and has a little bit of romance I wanted to see more romance, but overall enjoyed this story very much.
- Lew and Alec are still searching for the creature that has been terrorizing London. They are joined in the search by Will (a police officer that has the pull), and Fenn, a being from the other side of the border. Fenn wants to capture it and return it to its home. Everyone else wants it dead.
This book is just as strange as the first one although easier to get into. Interesting take on time travel and magic. It had nice primary and secondary characters, an almost gothic feel to the story, and a good mystery but there was just something missing. Definitely need to read the first book. - I enjoyed the second book in this series. This is not a stand alone Lost in Time needs to be read so you have an understanding of the story line. This is a well written and suspenseful time travel story with lots of magic and mayhem. The author is so descriptive you feel like you are back in 1900's London fighting the evil from The Border with Lew and Alex. Looking forward to book 3 and how the relationships develop.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. - The second book in the series picks up where the first book left off. The author once again delivers an interesting time travel story filled with magic and love. She does a great job describing the scenes in vivid detail and keeping you reading to the end with all the suspense and action throughout. I enjoyed reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given. - The author has written another exciting, fascinating, raw, gritty, slow burning, intriguing, and totally awesome story filled with mystery, magic, madness, mayhem, monsters and time travel that pulled me in from the very first page.
