True North
The people passing through Annalise’s life are like zombies feasting on parts of her heart, and not even duct tape can fix that.
For Seventeen-year-old orphan Annalise Kerrigan, waking up in strange places isn’t unusual. Abandoned at age two, Annalise bounces from one fake-parental to the next. It’s always the same story, just a different day until Annalise wakes up someplace stranger than usual.
On the worst day of her life, Annalise is given an antique locket. On the second worst day, she wakes up-not in a modern bed-but on a cold floor in 1920 Chicago. If traveling ninety-some-odd-years into the past isn’t bad enough, landing in the middle of a mob hit makes it worse.
After rescuing the Irish bad boy, Reilly O’Regan, from Vintroni’s thugs, Annalise reluctantly relies on him as her guide through twentieth-century Chicago. While dodging gangsters, bullets and the police, it becomes clear the locket isn’t what it seems. A journey for answers leads them to an ancient legend of Triskel Devices and on a search for a promised place known only as True North. Will the Triskel Locket send Annalise back once her True North is found? Or will she give up her future to save Reilly from his enemies in the past?
Only time will tell. . .

At the beginning of this story she is morning the death of Sister Mary Agnes, the only person that has showed her love throughout her life. She is given a locket that belonged to Sister Mary Agnes. She wears it to feel closer to her. The next day she she wakes up-not in a modern bed-but on a cold floor in 1920 Chicago and the action starts and doesn't end until the last page.
Irish bad boy, Reilly O’Regan has made enemies with Vintroni’s thugs and they are making his life miserable. Annalise gets involved and ends dodging bullets and fighting for her life alongside Reilly. During their journey they also find feelings for each other. Will Annalise finally find love?
The characters in this book certainly take you for a wild ride. There is not one page that doesn't have some action going on. In the end Reilly finds the truth about Vintroni and does everything in his power to find Annalise and keep her safe. The last part leaves you holding your breath waiting to find out if Reilly and Annalise can be together in the past or in the future or are the destined to live without each other.
The story was well written and kept you turning the pages. The characters are well developed and will make you laugh, cringe, cry and celebrate. This is my first time travel book and I fell in love with it.

This is an excellent, fast paced adventure. It is fantasy in that it involves time-travel. Loyalty is an ideal which is well expressed. I recommend reading for all adult ages.
