First words |
Daniel began to shake as he heard the terror in the screams and shouts that came from outside. His German wasn't perfect, but he had enough German and Yiddish from his family to get the gist; everyone was out for the Jews.  | |

They lay still for a few more minutes. She pushed up against him again, kissed his chest, and closed her eyes without responding. "Nina?" "Yes" "I don't think I can move yet." Nina laughed, and Daniel did too. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |

Daniel, the product of a failed Nazi experiment in the 1940's has time-traveled to the present day. Out of place and out of touch, he now leads a team of underground superheroes. Nina, his new neighbor, is a librarian with encyclopedic knowledge of ancient history, has amnesia. When they meet, they are immediately drawn to each other. As evil creatures begin to attack around the world and home in on Nina, the characters experience flashbacks to impossible things. In order to understand who these creatures are, they need to remember that in the past, although neither of them remember, they were in love.  | |

In 2011, Nina joins the ranks of their super hero team but has lost her memory. When she meets Daniel they have an instant connection. This story is mostly about their relationship, it's slow and awkward and full of fumbling as Daniel has no confidence or experience and Nina has no memories, but knows she feels safe and comfortable with Daniel. The action and adventure are more like little side trips in this story and while some things are revealed, most is left dangling by the end of the story.
It was an interesting, albeit slow read. The relationship between these two is painful at times and when Nina's true nature is revealed Daniel takes his shock to extremes, avoiding her. I didn't care for Daniel very much, right then even if the author tries to explain his low self esteem as the cause of his jerkiness. In saying all that I am interested in where this series plans to go. I voluntarily received this book for an honest review.
