When fifteen year old Dara is accepted into an elite boarding school, her first weeks are ruined by a strange illness… Throwing up in front of your crush? More than once? Emphatically not fun. As Dara gets to know her school and the school’s creepy doctor, she begins to realize that she wasn’t recruited for her grades, and her illness isn’t innocent.
John is only pretending to be a student, and he knows exactly why Dara is sick, but he can’t risk telling her yet. When someone is messing with time, altering anything can be disastrous, and John has a very specific mission to put things right. But when Dara’s life is at risk, they both must learn to navigate the intricacies of time… before they destroy the school or lose each other for good.
Hello! I'm Corrie Garrett, indie author of the Austen Ensemble trilogy and other romance novels. I'm currently working on a story about the characters of Mansfield Park, as well as an historical fantasy in the Byzantine Empire. I love to read as well as write - mainly young adult (contemporary, dystopian, adventure, science fiction), romance (Christian, suspense, historical), science fiction, and urban fantasy. Ask a question, make a recommendation, or just say hello - and thanks for stopping by!
Although the premise is intriguing, the execution is sorely lacking. The book moves slowly and the characters are unforgettable. I had high hopes for this, but honestly, didn't make it much more than halfway through.
There's not much new here or horribly interesting but it's not awful. There are some editing issues that could be handled easily and cleaned up. The plot is a bit more interesting than other books in this genre though it relies heavily on religious themes at odd times. Overall if you're interested in time travel stories and don't mind a dose of religion then this could fill an afternoon fairly easily.
