Passage from book: “My voice broke off because something odd was happening. The room was spinning, slowly, the paintings on the walls stretching as if I was looking at them through fun-house glasses. And the wall was getting warmer. I tried to pull my hand away, but couldn’t. “Gabi!” Lia cried. I tried to focus on her, the only thing in the room that seemed static. Her wide blue eyes flashed terror. “It’s hot!” “
My overall opinion: I loved it. I’ve heard Katy from Legacy of a Writer and also Jane from Reviews by Jane talking about this series for a long time…they both love it. Well, I’m hooked. This first book was really fun! Packed with adventure. Tinged with romance. I loved learning about Italy in that time period. I totally fell in love with the hero. I enjoyed Gabi’s modern-teenager-thoughts, thought in Italy, while she talked with the old English. J It was an awesome story, and I can hardly wait to get my hands on the next two books!
Special thanks to Katy, who sent me a copy when she won a second one. J
P.S. Anyone with extra copies of Cascade or Torrent? If you ever decide that you need to get rid of this series…well, I’m open. ;) Just sayin’.

P.S.S. This post is coming out on my birthday...because I LOVED this book. :) Got it yet?
