4.5 stars. This was really good! I love Camille Peters and her writing! I loved the element of multiple timelines and forgotten memories! Can’t wait to see what she writes next!

Screaming crying throwing up I am actually speechless. I want to shout from the rooftops how much I loved this book. The ending made me CRY. Softest best romance I’ve read in YEARS. I CANT TAKE THIS

A timeless story about a princess murdered by her own fiance and survived when she got sent back in time.
What an awesome story! I love the elements of timelines, political intrigue, and hidden agendas. The characters were well developed, and I love the chemistry between Bernice and Castiel. I was completely hooked the whole way through just to see how everything played out. The ending was so sweet.

Oh my word! This book starts off with quite the opening scene! *Mimicks closing lips with a zipper, locking it with a key and throwing it away!* The secrets are safe and sealed within its pages because you HAVE to read it to see all of the twists and turns that come! Holy Moly!!! I loved it all!!!
There are so many things I want to say about it and am dying to say about it but every time I think to type it, I second guess myself and say nope, that could be a spoiler! And you don't want to have any spoilers for this book! So if you haven't read any other reviews, do yourself a favor and DON'T! Just go read the book if the synopsis interests you! I promise that it'll be worth it because it is quite the reading journey you'll take.
Princess Bernice and her fiancé, Crown Prince Castiel of Thorndale had my mind thinking of so many different scenarios for what direction their story would go. Some of my guesses were correct and others weren't! I was completely hooked and didn't want to set the book down when life was calling. But my mind was definitely occupied with this book when it wasn't in my hands!
I loved the beautiful ending, the beautiful journey, all of it! With each subsequent book that I pick up by Camille Peters, I am in awe and love how she captivates me with her characters and stories! If you haven't read her books yet and enjoy fantasy and fairytale retellings, I highly recommend you check her books out. They can be read as standalones, but they also build on each other. Even some of the series have a little bit of crossover with characters, which I love! But you could easily read this book without reading the others!
Content: Clean. Some moments of mild peril, some talk of death and the death of a couple characters but nothing overly graphic.
I received a copy from the author via StoryOrigin. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.
Happy Reading!!!

I have really mixed feelings about this book. I couldn't put down the book because I just had to know what happened, but I found the character's lack of intelligence to be grating and caused me to almost DNF.
Camille Peters clearly wanted Bernice to be seen as smart, so she had other characters call Bernice smart. But did Bernice actually do anything smart? Nope. For example, Bernice wonders if the prince also traveled back in time. Bernice disregards that, because time traveling is impossible even though she just time traveled.
Tip to writers - if you want your character to be seen as smart, don't have other people call them 'smart'. They actually have to do smart things.
The prose was also a bit too flowery for my taste. When everything is described in rich detail, it starts to lose its effect. A more selective approach would’ve made the big moments hit harder.
The plot was really good, but I didn't find reading it enjoyable. With better editing, this could easily be 5 stars for me.

Wow! I absolutely loved this book! The whole mystery of going back in time kept me on the edge of my seat, turning the pages. Since I saw the summary when this book first came out on Amazon, I was eagerly anticipating its release and wondering how a time-traveling story would even work. This book did not disappoint! In addition to the time-travel mystery that first gripped me, there were so many more mysteries in this book that kept me completely interested and enthralled throughout the entire novel. I finished this book in one day - I just couldn't put the book down and I was completely riveted by the plot, characters, emotion, and mysteries. Bernice and Castiel were so sweet together and I loved all the political intrigue, shadows, danger, and how Camille Peters also managed to weave the threads of light through all the darkness in Thorndale. I was so completely satisfied at the end of the novel. The story was wrapped up really nicely and I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I have ever read! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves sweet and clean romance with a "he falls first" trope, mystery, intrigue, magic, and a story that truly shows how light can dispel even the darkest shadows.

Such an interesting take on combining time travel with intrigue.
I must admit, time travel stories are always a bit hit and miss with me - but this one was a definite hit. Camille did such a great job of winding the time magic into the world building.
Bernice was such an interesting character, we see who she's become after spending years trapped in the dangerous web of court politics and being murdered by her own fiancé. But despite that, she still reaches out to others - offering kindness and understanding, not letting her pride and suspicions cloud her vision for too long.
I just wanted to give Castiel a big hug. He had to create a cold, cruel mask to protect the person he loves but can never seem to save, tainting his own soul to protect hers. I was so glad to see him finally let Bernice in and ask for her help in finally ending the time loop, not having to bear the burden on his own anymore.
The threat of Thorndale has been an underlining thread in the previous stories, so it's great to have the kingdom finally set free. I'm really looking forward to future books in this series and maybe seeing this couple pop up again.

Revert completely pulled me in. The premise alone—waking up months before your death with full knowledge of how it happened—was enough to get me interested, but Camille Peters took it much further. The mix of time travel, political intrigue, and constant twists and turns kept me hooked, and I ended up finishing the whole thing in a single day.
Bernice was a strong, well-written character. Despite being caught in a dangerous and corrupt court—and murdered by her own fiancé—she still showed determination and compassion. Castiel, with his complexity and hidden sides, made the evolving relationship between them feel authentic and layered. Their enemies-to-lovers story wasn’t rushed, and I really enjoyed seeing how it developed.
The villain’s grip over Thorndale added real tension, and the twists and turns right up to the end tied everything together perfectly. Just when I thought Camille Peters couldn’t top Decoy with its “assassin romance,” she somehow managed it here—with a story about a heroine and her actual murderer that still made sense and worked brilliantly.
Overall, Revert was a fast-paced, suspenseful read with a clever premise, unpredictable twists, solid character development, and a satisfying ending. Highly recommended if you enjoy clean romance blended with mystery, danger, and a touch of magic.

Loved reading Castiel's story! Ever since Vanished, where he is portrayed as cold, stoic, emotionless and it seems as if though he doesn't care about his sister but later at the end of the book goes looking for her after she vanished, I knew that he did care despite the mask that he wore. When I first read the summary of Revert, I knew that there had to be so much more to the story than him just killing Bernice and I've been coming up with crazy ideas and theories. Finally reading this book (I waited far too long to read it) was amazing! It was everything that I needed for Castiel's story that I never could have guessed. The time travel thing was great as well. Lots of times, time travelling stories are confusing or the author just doesn't get them right, but this one was awesome! It's not confusing at all and all the threads and fabrics of time are woven together so well that everything makes sense in the end.
Great book and I can't wait for whatever Camille Peters will write next!

Riveting with Many Timelines and Twists
If you found yourself betrothed to the man who murdered you in a past life, would you fall in love with them? The ultimate red flag doesn't stop this couple. Few authors are able to weave this premise into a wonderful story where the main characters demonstrate a healthy relationship, but Camille Peters worked her magic.
It's impressive how well the timelines intersected without causing major plotholes or unnecessary confusion. I noticed at the same time as Bernice the inconsistencies stacking up and felt my curiosity grow when hers did. The twists and reveals that have been hallmarks of this particular series did their job perfectly, keeping me enthralled to the end (and awake far longer than I should have been)! Clean in language nd content!
*I received an ARC, but chose to read the book through Kindle Unlimited. All opinions are my own.

Reader’s Notes:
– this is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone
– this is told from Princess Bernice’s point of view
– Princess Bernice is murdered (but through some unknown time travel manages not to die); there is brief mentions of blood & death
Review:
For anyone who’s concerned about the multiple timelines aspect of the story: the only confusing part of it is the change from chapter one to chapter two as we (and Princess Bernice) have no idea how Bernice went back in time. Most of the book takes place in the timeline of chapter two.
Oh my goodness this book was so good! I loved watching Bernice try to figure out what was going on around her and how she didn’t die. I loved that she was focused on her mysterious mission but also figuring out what went wrong the first time she tried it. I was totally on board with Bernice disliking Prince Castiel after what happened, but also I couldn’t figure out why his mannerisms didn’t match the prince Bernice knew (she couldn’t figure it out either). Though of course when we found out what he’s really like, that’s when I could remember how he was in Vanish with his sister. 😅
I hope there will be more books in this series as I’d love to read them! I’m sure there were more royals that I don’t remember meeting in past books that could have a story! 😍
Summary:
Princess Bernice thought she’d reached her end when her betrothed fatally stabbed her with his sword…
But somehow she didn’t die and wakes up a few months before she should have died. With her memories of her mission and the steps that brought her to her first ending, Bernice isn’t about to let this second chance slip through her fingers. Even if it means choosing to get closer to Prince Castiel – the very man who killed her – in order to find out how to avoid her first mistakes and achieve the mission she’d come to accomplish.

This is one of my new favorite books from this author!! I'm speechless, this was so good!!
I was drawn by the unique story concept, and boy, did it deliver! It hooked me from page one. The characters were all so well-written! I really enjoyed Bernice's character and I enjoyed Castiel's too. The romance was so good, perfectly paced and so incredibly sweet. I wasn't sure how it would work out but I loved it!!
The mystery in this book was so intriguing and the revelations we got throughout the book were well-paced. Some parts I suspected but there were many times my mind was absolutely blown. I loved it!

I've tried to like Peters' books. I really have. She used to be one of my all-time favorite authors when i first started in the romance genre. But now, countless romances later? I just can't stand her writing style. The phrases she uses sound ridiculous to me. A lot of people have praised her for how her FMCs learn to stand up for themselves throughout her books, but it's gotten to the point where it seems likes she never writes any other type of character. I love watching the shy, uncertain heroine become strong and brave, time and time again, but not every time. I'd like some variety.
If her writing style has never bothered you and you aren't tired of this type of character, then go ahead. Maybe you'll love this book. Me, though? I just couldn't like it.

Yesss!! I was sucked in from the first chapter! I mean, how can you come back from being murdered?!
I was on edge with Bernice the whole time, as she was forced to walk on eggshells around absolutely everyone, for fear of being punished for treason. Without saying too much, I was baffled when things were revealed at the end. It all made so much sense and was so well crafted!
I also loved the development of the, at first, complicated romance between the main characters - the awkwardness, the distrust, and how that blossomed into growth and love. I just couldn’t get enough of them together!

What a fun ride! The story within the story is so fascinating and gorgeously written. The poetic style of this book describes this world and everything in it in such stunning detail, I feel as though I'm actually there experiencing the story with the characters. The romance is sweet, innocent, and real, and oh so fun to read! I loved the villain and the hold that he had over the castle, and those within it. It was a fun, slightly gritty, suspenseful, and mysterious book, and I highly recommend it!!!

An enchanting story
An entertaining story, love and hate entwined. Hidden intentions, secrets and memories that tease and torment until it becomes uncertain what is a true and what is a carefully crafted game of deceit.
There were clues along the way, but only when the threads came together towards the final chapters did it seem there might actually be a happy-ever-after.
I love the way the author creates compelling characters. Highly recommended for readers who love a little mystery and a lot of plot twists with their romance.

Revert was incredible! This is truly one of my favorite if not my favorite read this year. Such an amazing concept with so many twists. I had no idea how a romance with one's past murderer could possibly work, but the author pulled it off. Such an engaging plot and beautiful romance. Loved it.

Perhaps a little confusing, but so beautiful
Camille Peters never disappoints. This one was a particularly dense read, but that may have been my fault for falling behind on reading and listening to it while working on a puzzle. It was such a sad story, but so touching when all the pieces came together. They really found each other through anything and everything.

This was a fascinating story where the princess is trying to obtain an artifact in a dangerous court. One wrong move and she is toast but then time turns back and she is determined to solve the mystery without falling for the prince who killed her. I loved the whole idea! So intriguing and mysterious
September 29, 2025
Revert is a page-turner complete with plot twists, secrets, and a kingdom full of magic. The spin on the “Groundhog Day” concept was engaging and fun. I was hooked, even when I wasn’t sure what was going on! This story is great for anyone looking for a slightly spooky, cute story, just in time for fall.

A fitting end to a timeless story
Camille Peters delivers once again in a brutal, fear-filled beginning that effortlessly weaves together an enchanting story of persistence, love and resistance against an almost overwhelming foe.

I loved this story. I was intrigued by the premise. As the story unfolded, there were many more layers to it than I had expected.
I was immediately drawn into the story, and the suspense kept me feeling on the edge of my seat.

Well done book with time travel and plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested until the very end. The premise of waking up before your death and wanting to do something about it is interesting and this story does a good job with it.
August 28, 2025
I adored this book! I was completely shocked by each plot twist and turn. Not a single page could have been counted as waisted as they each tied a fantastic stream of threads together for one fantastic book. I will certainly be doing a reread again soon!
Thank you for the arc!
