The Girl Out of Time

Rate this book
England, 1912. Emmeline Marshall has seven days of freedom left before she returns home to New York with her family, and her overbearing parents—who don’t seem to get the hint she’s not a little girl anymore—stick her into an odious finishing school that will make her into a ‘proper’ lady.

The freedom in question? The voyage across the Atlantic on the newest luxury ocean liner, the Titanic, where Emmeline meets the handsome and mysterious Leon. When their fraternization leads to a falling out between Emmeline and her father, she wishes she could be anywhere else and have a different life …

And suddenly, she does.

England, 1815. It’s not a dream, but it is the fulfillment of Emmeline’s fantasies. Now she’s a rich heiress, engaged to a duke’s son, with friends to love and a library of gothic romances to get lost in. But everything is not as perfect as it seems. Unaware of her family’s involvement in time travel, Emmeline has no idea how she got to this time or why Leon—who is now Theo, an undercover French soldier—is here as well, but doesn’t recognize her.

Between untangling a mysterious treasure hunt from a book—which could lead her to understanding her powers—and navigating the glittering society of Regency London, can Emmeline learn to steer her own heart true? And can she find her way back home in time to save her family from a doomed ship?


Titanic meets Bridgerton in The Girl Out of Time, the third in the series of fast-paced, intricately woven tales of time travel and romance from Kate Serzenta.

This book had all the ingredients of a good story that I normally love. Time travel, the Titanic and history but I just could not get to grips with it! Everything happened so fast. There were multiple time lines and lots of characters and I was totally confused at times. We never got to know any of the characters in depth because of the way the timelines jumped around so fast.
Emmeline was constantly running around even when answering the door. The constant running made me feel tired. Thinking she was in a dream when everything was real irritated me. It didn't grab me in anyway and I found my mind wandering while reading it, never a good sign.
I haven't read the other two books in the series so maybe that's the reason I couldn't enjoy it.
Please don't let my review stop you reading this as it definitely has it's fans.
Just not for me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the author for an early copy.

What best describes my taste in books is quirky. I love a book that is a little different. So, when I read the description of this book discovering it had a possible historical romance, mystery, AND time travel? I said, "Yes, please!" I must read this book. And, I'm glad I did.

Synopsis:
It's 1912 and all Emmeline Marshall wants is for her parents to give her a little room to be herself. Instead, she feels constrained. She wants freedom. While on the voyage from England to her home in New York City on the Titanic, she meets Leon, a handsome young man, Leon, and they become fast friends. Of course, she doesn't mention this to her father who soon finds out, resulting in an argument.

What Emmeline doesn't know is her family has been keeping a big secret. Her aunt, uncle, and her parents are all time travelers. And, as far as her family believes, Emmeline is not able to travel through time. But after the confrontation with her father, Emmeline unwittingly opens a portal and finds herself in 1815 Dorset, England. There she discovers a man on the beach in need of help. When she takes a closer look, she realizes he looks just like Leon. (She later learns his name is Theo.)

Emmeline is able to get the man help with the aid of a carriage driver on the road. He takes them both to the home of a Duke, where she is mistaken for Lady Maria Grey, the fiancée of Daniel, the Duke's son.

My thoughts:
I found this book to be very enjoyable. At the beginning I was a smidge confused by a conversation she had with her Aunt Emily. Thankfully, context explained the conversation as I read on. You see, when I started this book, I didn't realize it was the third in a series. If I had read them, I would have known who Emily was and understood a lot more at the beginning. While the author did a good job letting the story explain what was going on, I do think it would be beneficial to read the first two books in the series first.

That said, I enjoyed this book immensely! lt had interesting characters, twists and turns, a lovely romance, and character growth. The book moved quickly, particularly at the second half as the Titanic heads for it's destined end.

My only quibble was the end. I wanted to know more about what happened next with Emmeline and with Theo. But that really is a small thing. This adventure was a great read!

Thank you to Kate Serzenta and NetGalley for the digital ARC I was provided to read in return for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed above are my own.

In the last story of "Mine throught time" we follow the journey of Emmeline, Will´s daughter and Emily´s niece, that time travels to Napolean time after one big fight with her father. She will try to solve the mystery of Lady Maria to return to her own time. She will also fall in love for the mysterious Theo, and will discover some other secrets too.
A part for Emmeline story, we still follow Will and his family that are in Titanic and will have to find a way to escape. Just like in the other books Emily always came to help. The side characters were really lovely. I especially enjoy Louisa and Sebastian, both became very dear friends for the main character and they are my second favorite couple (their interections were so fun, they start dispese each other and finished truly adored one another).

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

What a fun and unique book! I didn’t know what to expect, but I enjoyed this. I loved the time traveling aspect and the romance. I didn’t realize this was the 3rd book in the series and I will be reading the first two books. I highly recommend reading them first so characters and background stories make sense. Some back and forth between characters and time was a little confusing. The transition wasn’t always clear.

Emmeline is so sweet yet naive. I enjoyed her growth throughout the story. She goes from a young adult to an adult. The experiences give her more perspective and understanding of her parents. Leon/Theo is also very sweet and duty driven. Their love really lasted throughout time.

I can’t wait for more books in this series. I’m especially looking forward to Louisa and Sebastian’s story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kate Serzenta for the ARC!

The Girl Out of Time is the 3rd book in the Mine Through Time Series by Kate Serzenta.

I love all kinds of books, and I love a good book that is a bit different and let’s just say that The Girl Out of Time is just that, it’s a little bit different and I just loved every moment of it. A historical romance, a mystery, and time travel. I couldn’t help but not read this book. It was almost like it threw itself in my hands.

This book starts out in 1912 and all that Emmeline Marshall really wants is for her parents to realize that she’s not a little girl anymore and she longs for them to give her the room she needs to be herself. Rather, she feels as though she’s being smothered. She longs to find her freedom, to spread her arms and fly free.

Her father decides that it is time for the family to return home to the United States from England and books last minute tickets for all of them on the Titanic. Shortly after boarding, Emmeline meets Leon and very quickly they become friends. Of course, she keeps this from her father knowing what his reaction would be. But secrets are revealed and Emmeline’s father finds out and the revelation results in the biggest argument they’ve ever had.

Emmeline doesn’t know that her family has been keeping their own secrets from her. Emmeline doesn’t know that her aunt, uncle, and her own parents are actually time travelers. As far as her parents know and believe, Emmeline isn’t able to time travel. But, after the argument with her father, Emmeline unknowingly opens a portal in time and Emmeline finds herself in 1815 Dorset, England. And it’s there, on the beach close to where she arrives, she finds a man on the beach who is in need of dire help.

When she takes a closer look at him, and as she looks at him closer, she realizes that he looks just like Leon, she’ll learn later that his name is Theo, but he looks just like Leon who she met on Titanic.

Thankfully Emmeline finds help for the wounded man with the aid of a carriage driver she finds on the road. The carriage driver takes them both to the estate of a Duke, where before she can introduce herself, she’s mistaken as Lady Maria Grey, the lady who just happens to be the fiancée of the Dukes son Daniel.

I really found this to be a most enjoyable read. You may find the beginning a big confusing as Emmeline is having a conversation with her Aunt Emily on a tablet (something she claims her father invented) who she thinks only lives across the ocean but actually lives in another time. Thankfully, everything is explained to us in another conversation with all the context covered.

I made the mistake of just jumping into this series midway through, maybe if I had read the first two books I would have known who Emily was and all the previous events were. Kate really did do an amazing job at allowing the story explain what was happening, but I think I would have gotten a lot out of first having read the first two books first.

Despite the mistakes that are all my own, I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed, they had great growth through out the story and they had stunning character arcs. I loved the twists and turns that Kate added through the story and the romance was just so lovely and well thought out. The pacing was impeccable, particularly in the 2nd half of the book as we watch as the Titanic heads for it’s fated end.

Now I want to know what happens next with Emmeline and Theo and I really hope their story continues in another book. This is such a wonderful read and the adventure knitted together with history is just stunning. I highly recommend this read.

Thank you for the ARC!

I was lucky enough to get a digital copy of The Girl out of Time by Kate Serzenta. This is the first book that I had read by the author and certainly won’t be my last. This book involves time travel, fake marriage and more. When I started reading the book I didn’t know that it was the third book in the series and while it did throw me off at first, it didn’t throw me off the book entirely. With its fast paced action and well written character development, The Girl out of Time makes for a fantastic read.

The idea of already knowing something bad will happen looming over the characters in a book makes for an interesting read. It pulls you in as you know what will eventually happen, and you are reading to figure out if the characters will make it out alive or if they will unfortunately perish. I find this aspect interesting in books about historical events.

When it comes to Time travel, it has the chance to be confusing and overwhelming. However Kate Serzenta didn’t make it confusing at all. It was simple without it feeling toned down. It was well formed and easy to understand. The meshing of technology and timeline in the start of the book did make for a rough start of the book. The similar names of our two main characters had also thrown me off. Once I got more into the book it got easier. The fast moving pace of the book didn’t feel rushed or off to me at all. I was able to move quickly through the book and we didn’t linger on certain parts of the book like setting the scene. I enjoyed how fast the pacing was, as it kept me interested in the book.


A good book always has character development and in this book we saw more than just our main character changing from the start of the book to the end of the book. Emmaline started out as a woman who was unhappy with the treatment she was getting from her family. She went from wanting to be away from her controlling parents and her two brothers who always seemed to get away with everything to missing them and it being the thing that saved her. Her father, Will, seeing the error of his ways was bittersweet to see, and I loved that he realized how wrong he was treating his daughter. Theo and Emmaline's dynamic is charming. I loved their interactions throughout the book, and the buildup to their relationship felt natural. It was such a cute moment when Emmaline realized she was in love with Theo.

The last couple of chapters did feel a bit chaotic and clunky. We spent too much time jumping from Will and Emily to Emmaline and Theo. There were too many pages of the two pairs running around the ship trying to find a way off. It was dragged out for too long and it could have been either cut down or written differently. I wish we had seen Emily and Will get off of the sinking ship rather than it being left open ended and then it happening off the page. Maybe because they weren’t the main characters of the story we didn’t see it but I still wish we would’ve seen it. I am glad that they all had a happy ending as I’m such a sucker for one.

Overall this book was an intriguing read. Thank you once more for the arc copy!

Review Title:

Unique and Mysterious Time Travel Story

Review:

The Girl Out of Time by Kate Serzenta (her third book) is a refreshingly original and mysterious time travel story. This was my first ever ARC, and I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to read it early.

From the start, I was drawn in by the gorgeous cover and the intriguing premise. Emmeline is a standout character, adventurous, curious, a book girl through and through and easy to root for. I loved the mysterious locket, the bookish themes, and how the story blended
historical fiction with a sense of fantasy and romance.
As the book progressed, I found myself thinking deeply about the plot, especially with all the layers of mystery. The worldbuilding was rich, with great details about the settings and characters.
The time travel mechanics gradually became clearer in Part 2, and I enjoyed the reveal that the locket originally belonged to Theo. Some elements (like Theo/Leon speaking French out of the blue, Maria’s storyline (although that did become more clear later on, and the different timelines between Emmeline, Will and Emily) were confusing at times but intriguing enough to keep me turning pages. I liked the idea of Emmeline and Theo entering stories together to find clues about how to “control” her powers, and the romantic tension between Emmeline and Theo built nicely.
Parts 3 and 4 really picked up, I sped through them and loved how things started to link together (Chapter 28 was a standout!). Sebastian and Louisa were adorable, and the love confession between Emmeline and Theo was sweet, even if the word “goofus” felt out of place.
Part 5, set on the Titanic, was harder for me to enjoy just due to personal preference — I don’t love
reading historical stories. That said, I appreciated finally learning why Emmeline is called “Blue” and getting some clarity around the time travel rules. I was relieved everyone made it out safely, though the ending felt a
little rushed after such a layered build-up. Would have liked to have read the conversation revealing the time travelling world to Emmeline and maybe the
wedding to Theo. Also felt like I really should have read her previous work of “A flicker in time” to truly understand the characters and relationships of Emily,
James, Will and Sylvia. The last chapter between Will, Emily, Sebastian and Louisa felt slightly pointless at that stage in the book but was nice to read.

Overall, I think this is a very creative and mysterious read, unlike anything I’ve read before. While some elements were a bit unclear or underexplained, I really appreciated the uniqueness of the concept, the detailed world, and the romantic and emotional core. Especially for my first time reading a time travel/historivak themed book. I’m definitely curious to see what Kate Serzenta writes next!


Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
(3/5)
(Original and compelling, with a few confusing moments and a rushed ending, but an enjoyable and memorable read.)

I found this book engaging in moments, but overall it did not fully meet my expectations. There are times when the story shines, particularly in the way it handles suspense and the intriguing premise of time travel, but those moments are unevenly spread throughout the narrative. I often felt that the emotional stakes were inconsistent, and some character choices lacked depth, making it harder to feel fully invested in their journeys.

The writing itself is clear and accessible, and the fantastical elements are integrated in a way that keeps the story moving. The blend of mystery, romance, and speculative elements is ambitious, but the balance occasionally feels off. Some plot developments were predictable, and the resolution of certain conflicts did not carry the impact that I had anticipated. While the book has energy and momentum, it sometimes prioritizes pace over fully exploring the implications of the story’s central conflicts.

One important note is that this book is part of a series, and readers who have not read the previous installments may find some of the context and character development harder to follow. Certain motivations and plot points rely on knowledge from earlier books, and while it is still readable as a standalone, I felt that reading the prior installments would have made the story more satisfying and the character arcs more meaningful.

The character relationships are one of the more promising aspects of the book, yet they do not always reach their potential. The dynamics between characters, especially the romantic and familial ones, are sometimes hinted at rather than fully developed, leaving a sense of missed opportunity for emotional resonance. I wanted more insight into what motivates the characters, particularly when they make important choices, as that would have added weight to the story and made it more compelling.

By the end, I was curious enough to see the story through, and there are enjoyable moments that demonstrate the author’s skill in crafting tension and intrigue. However, the book as a whole did not leave a lasting impression for me. It may appeal to readers who enjoy a fast-paced, light speculative read with elements of romance and mystery, but it falls short of being memorable or fully satisfying.

Firstly, don’t make the mistake that I did – if you happen to pick up this one without first tucking into the first book, Time Watcher, then put it back. Serzenta’s explanation and rules for time travel are complex and detailed and covered extensively in the first volume of the trilogy. While she alludes to them during TGOoT, said rules aren’t embedded within the narrative as they are in Time Watcher. I got to the end of TGOoT feeling a bit dissatisfied with the rather arbitrary nature of the time travel component and only truly understood how sophisticated and complex they were after tucking into Time Watcher.

Like many romance series, the characters in TGOoT are linked with the protagonists in Time Watcher, providing Easter eggs for readers of the series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. There is a strong romantic component within TGOoT, but the story also encapsulates the dying hours of the Titanic in vivid detail, as well as accounts of daily life in 1815. Serzenta writes with the brakes off and her worldbuilding is one of the strengths of the book, as is her characterisation.

The story isn’t quite as twistedly unpredictable as Time Watcher – which swept me up from the start and didn’t let go until the end. But it still provides plenty of adventure and I enjoyed Emmeline’s progression from a rebellious, headstrong teen lashing out at the stiff conventions surrounding young women of the time to a determined, courageous person who also was more mindful of the consequences of her actions upon others. Any niggles? There were anomalous words and phrases that crept in from time to time, which undermined the period feel, but given the strengths of the time travelling setup, the strong characterisation and enjoyable plotting – it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Recommended for fans of time travel with a strong romantic component.

A very enjoyable book. This is book three in the series and I hadn’t read 1 & 2, but I found it to be well written, that I could very easily follow the intricacies of it without having to have read 1 & 2 prior.

It centres around Emmeline, who is travelling on the Titanic with her family, heading home to America after a holiday in England. ‘Enter stage left…’ Leon from 1815 England/France. A dashing young chap who befriends Emmeline and gets caught up in all the madness that follows.
We all know what happened to the Titanic and they need to get off before disaster strikes, only problem is, there’s rules with any sort of time travel and this time travel story has it’s own set!

But that’s not the only story. This book is several stories, in different times, all rolled into one great saga. Family feuds, war, impersonation, a smidge of romance & more.

The book cover gave me young adult vibes, so I didn’t expect much. After reading it, I would have thought a less cartoon cover would have suited it better.

I enjoyed it so much, that I bought book one in the series, which I honestly think was even better. I’m just starting book two now.
This series is becoming very addictive. Glad to see at the end of this book, there is going to be more added to the series or branches off (hopefully not too far away!!)

The story follows Emmeline Marshall, a young woman in 1912 who is dreading the end of her freedom as she boards the Titanic to return to New York. After a falling out with her father, she wishes for a different life—and suddenly finds herself in 1815 Regency England.

This book had all the elements I love in a good story; I mean, time travel, the Titanic and history, and some Bridgerton vibes, but for some reason i couldn't really get into it. I felt like everything was happening so fast and also the multiple time lines and ALL the characters that were introduced left me very confused. It was like I couldn't really get to build a nice connection with the characters because I didn’t have enough time to know them, to understand them.

But, in general, I thought it wa a creative primise, time travel/historical books are some of my favourite genres, and I think it would be interesting to know of Kate is planning more books in this series.

I give it 3.75 ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

If you enjoy historical romance with a sci-fi twist—especially if you like the "fish out of water" trope of a modern-leaning woman navigating the strict rules of the 19th century—this is a strong recommendation.

(Now I think I need to read the two previous books because even I I didn’t feel so engaged with this one, the premise of the whole series is really interesting).

Time travel. The Titanic. Fake engagements. Regency England. And a cute/hot romance with a hint of pining and such earnest connection between the MCs. SIGN ME UP.

First, I am not the best with time, so the way this author managed to weave the threads not only through the plot but through actual time is beyond impressive. Now that that's out of the way, what I'm really here for is the romance and MCs are so endearing. I wouldn't say this touches on that 'friends to lovers' dynamic in that they become friends first (though they aren't life long childhood friends or anything) and their decent into love just feels so natural. This is closed door, but that feels fitting for the tone and characters so I wasn't left disappointed. (And we do get a few really well done kisses so it's not like we're left completely hanging).

It's hard to describe everything this book entails, considering it's at times a titanic drama and others full on regency drama and also mistaken identity drama and hidden fiance drama. I was invested in charming Emmeline from the beginning and the more quiet Theo was her perfect counterpart.

A great, charming read full of heart.

Netgalley ARC - Thank you Kate Serzenta

This was my first book by Kate Serzenta, I also haven't read the first 2 books in the series but that wasn't too much of a problem after reading the blurb for both of them. But since finishing this book I'm going to go back and read the first 2!

I've always had a fascination with the Titanic and how the event impacted the people involved, this story I really did feel like I was on board. The details of the ship and the story of a family on board and how they dealt with the stress of navigating out were done so well! It made me a little worried and anxious for them.

The book being in different parts was really well done, it felt like I was watching a show on Netflix and left on a cliff hanger waiting for the next episode.
I enjoyed how when one chapter ended on a cliff hanger, you get put into the past/present to see how things dealt there would effect the previous chapter and so on.

The story was beautiful and felt like a completed puzzle.

The Girl Out of Time is a dual timeline story and apart of the Mine Through Time series but it can be read as a standalone. If you are a fan of Bridgerton and the Titanic this is definitely a story you should check out. I will say that 2025 was definitely the year to get interested in dual timeline stories because I have found out that I enjoy them very much! I will say this book did have some vibes of freaky friday only without the body switching.

In 1912 we are introduced to Emmeline who is abroad the Titanic with her insufferable parents who treat her like a child. She meets a charming youbg man named Leon which causes a dispute with her father and she wishes she had a different life. Her wish is somehow granted and she wakes up in the Regency era and has a totally different and charmed life.

However, there are strings attached to this new life and with the conflict of the two timelines who knows how long it will last. Will Emmeline find a way to get back to the present timeline before it is too late. Afterall there is the inevitable situation involving the Titanic.

A solid 3.5 stars. This is part of a series and it does help to read the first books first or you'll be confused. It's a cozy time-travel story, and if you've been reading the series it's nice to revisit old characters and see how they've grown.

I'm not sure Emmeline's character was interesting enough to really carry the plot. She gets thrown back in time, and then seems quite content to just stay there, despite occasionally missing her family. She seems okay with marrying a man in the past without really thinking through what this might mean for her "real" life or even the "pretend" life she has in the past.

Part of the novel takes place on the Titanic, which I could have done without. The author has the characters joke about similarities with the movie, but yeah, that part definitely felt a bit lazy on the part of the author.

The Girl Out of Time is a whimsical, high-concept blend of Titanic-era drama and Regency romance, offering an imaginative premise that’s easy to get swept up in. Emmeline’s journey, from chafing under parental expectations to navigating time-twisting mysteries and glittering society, has plenty of charm, and the shifting relationship between her and Leon/Theo adds emotional intrigue. However, the story’s rapid transitions between timelines and plot threads can feel a bit overwhelming, occasionally diluting the impact of its more heartfelt moments. Still, its blend of adventure, romance, and historical flair makes it an enjoyable, if slightly uneven, escape for fans of time-travel love stories.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read The Girl Out of Time!

Have you ever wanted to read a Titanic and regency era love story in the same book? Then this is the book for you! I absolutely loved the Titanic storyline and loved how the author seamlessly switched to a regency timeframe.

This story follows Emmeline/Miss Grey and Leon/Theo’s love story through time. The author does a fantastic job of capturing the yearning and excitement of budding love.

I did not know this was the third book in a series, but the book could work as a standalone. It was easy to follow. Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Titanic, time travel, and chasing romance. The Girl Out of Time features an unsuspecting girl with the power to travel back in time in connection with her family tree. In the third installment of the series, Emmeline and Theo's story is told. This is a fun read, even without prior reading of the first two books. There are some plot points that are left open and shifts in the book that are abrupt. However, the historical backdrop with likable characters had me curious to find out if Emmeline and Theo's love transcends time travel.

Romance, Titanic, Bridgerton-a-like, Time travel - what could go wrong? Everything. I've tried to like this book and its characters but I got bored. I've read another book of the same writer and the heroine behaved almost the same in these two books even though these were not related.
The historical details and behavior didn't fit the times the writer described. I read many historical romances, which I enjoy, but this one wasn't one of them. Big disappointment. I loved the cover and first few chapters seemed promising but then it got repetitive. Perhaps there are others who would enjoy it but I wasn't one of them.

Thank you Kate Seezenta for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

A Girl Out of Time is a fun, fast-paced mix of historical fiction, time travel, and romance. Emmeline is a likable heroine, and her journey from the Titanic to Regency England is imaginative and engaging. The dual timelines are vivid, and the mystery behind her time jump—along with Leon/Theo’s shifting identity—keeps the story moving.

Some plot points feel a little rushed, but the adventure, atmosphere, and romantic tension more than make up for it. A charming, immersive read for fans of time-slip stories and strong-willed heroines.

I made the mistake of not reading book 1 or 2 before this, but I didn't fee myself lost or confused. And! I am going to read the first two for certain. I loved this book and I am a sucked for historical fiction. And we all had a Titanic obsession at some point in our lives, right?
It was a no brainer for me to pick up this gem of a book.

I found it quick and didn't feel like it was dragging at any point - sometimes I felt that was a downfall as things happened almost too quick, but it was easy to follow, so it's not a major deduction.

Alls to say, give this one a read. It was unique. It was fast-paced and exciting.

Thank you Kate and NetGalley for the ARC!

I really want to like this author. This is the second book by her that I have read. I think her ideas are good, and I like a lot of the characters, But I think the books are just okay. The book got a little bit convoluted at times, with the jumping back and forth in perspectives of people with similar names. If you like time travel books, this is worth reading, but it's not going to blow you away. Easy, light read, and I will read more by this author, but she's about a 3/5 for me.

Emmeline has her nose in books and wistfully daydreams to escape her overprotective parents.
When wishing she could get away, she finds herself in a different timeline, with intrigue and romance worthy of her books.

I really enjoyed the Titanic timeline, but the jumps between some of the others didn't grasp me the same way.

I enjoyed the humour that Emily inserts - The Shining and The Titanic movies being referenced at the same time really got me!

Amazing book! Started out a little slow, but once I got reaquainted with the characters, it got interesting! So many twists and tension! There were so many times I was asking how are they going to get out of this one?! I probably read 75% of it in one day- I just couldn't put my kindle down! I was excited to read this book early, definitely was worthwhile to read the whole series!

She was on the titanic where she meets him but things will go wrong when her father finds out. She wishes she could be anywhere else and she finds herself in another time in a very different way. He is there as well. See what is going on
I received an advance copy from hidden gems and wow what a read

Cute story. But I just couldn’t get into it. Maybe because I haven’t read the first two books, it was a bit confusing at times. Some parts were interesting, like when they finally find and talk with Lady Scarlett. Skimmed through half of it.

I thought the book was just ok. There is the fantasy element of time travel and it draws on historical events like the Titanic sinking. I thought it just jumped around too much for me to really enjoy.3.5 stars

This was a well written book, for lovers of time travel. I suggest you read the series in order, I didn’t and think I would have had a richer experience by reading books one and two first.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this honest review voluntarily.
