I tore through Time to Burn, a brilliantly clever tale about time travel gone wrong. Bold, convincing and beautifully told – I could not put this book down – Clare Leslie Hall, author of Broken Country
So impressive. It made me see London in a completely new way and brought the Blitz to life. Incredibly clever - I loved it – Harriet Tyce, author of Witch Trial
A mesmerizing time-hopping mystery around the question: what if time travel is possible, but only for the uber-rich? As troubles mount and timelines begin to fray, Phoebe comes to realize that her own troubled past is somehow entwined with the missing time traveler – but how? Time to Burn offers twists and turns galore, a true delight to the last page! – Kate Quinn, author of The Astral Library
Absolutely thrilling. Mind bending and totally immersive. It takes the idea of time travel to new and exciting heights. Ingenious! – John Marrs, author of The Family Experiment
Ellery Lloyd is one of my favourite writers. Time to Burn is a riveting time traveler thriller packed with rollicking action and epic imagination - and a smart, satirical heart – Abigail Dean, author of Girl A
A mind-blowingly smart and propulsive time travel thriller – I am in awe of how this intricate and clever plot is so perfectly weaved together. I finished it in a day – once I’d picked it up I couldn’t stop reading. Bravo – Nikki Smith, author of They Had It Coming
I bloody loved it! So clever, it’s another cracker – Steph McGovern, author of Deadline
Time to Burn is high-concept thriller writing at its absolute best - smart, propulsive and astonishingly well plotted. I devoured it, and I’m still in awe of how they managed to pull it off. A sure-fire smash hit – Emily Freud, author of What She Left Behind
An expertly woven, fiendishly clever time hopping adventure, Time to Burn showcases Ellery Lloyd’s signature lavish settings and cinematic storytelling. What a treat! – Lizzy Barber, author of Out of Her Depth
What a triumph! A clever and brilliant thriller which is at once an immersive journey into our past and deeply thought-provoking look at our own times. I was totally gripped and have not stopped thinking about it since. I absolutely loved it! – Katherine Faulkner, author of The Break-In
Time to Burn is ridiculously, head-spinningly clever. Brilliantly plotted, every time-travelling eventuality is answered and potential plot hole, filled. It’s also a love story, a tale of atonement, and a letter to London through the ages - with the London of the Blitz, and even the Noughties, brought to cinematic glory. And I loved the final payoff! Just hugely well done. – Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal
