Palo Duro

SPOILERS

This was mostly an enjoyable read. Up until about the halfway point I found it to be fairly straight forward. The only real mystery I wanted answered was how the people who abducted Rachel didn???t leave any footprints. Once the time travel element was introduced I was more intrigued although I thought the characters all accepted this theory a little too quickly. And now that I think about it, how did Rachel leave any footprints when she exited the cave? When Ricky and Jordan travel thru time, they???re already in the past when they exit the cave. And I assume Rachel walked out of the cave, dropped the phone off and then back in the cave, to go to the past? We are told that using the portal uses its limited amount of energy, making it possible to close the portal forever. But once this is described, it???s never really a factor again.

Overall, it wasn???t a bad book but I feel like it could have been fleshed out more. Some things are a bit too convenient, like Chet just letting Ricky, Jordan and Dr. Errington leave the cave on their own. I would think he???d want to escort them back to make sure they don???t try exactly what they end up trying. Also, I read this on Kindle Unlimited and there were typos/grammatical errors in just about every chapter.
