"I felt like I was standing right in the middle of a Movie Set of something between Pierce Brosnan's "The Thomas Crown Affair" or Sean Connery's "Entrapment". I was sucked into the story from the beginning and I could not stop reading. It was such an interesting mix between the paranormal romance and crime elements that kept me reading and wondering what might happen next."--Jeri's Book Attic
"This book was loaded with mystery and suspense. The plot was well executed and kept me on the edge of my seat. The sizzling passionate scenes between Addie and Blake were red hot." —Smut Book Junkie Book Reviews
"I am so in love with the universe Alyssa Richards has built as a paranormal version of the world, much more exciting and full of possibilities. From the very first moment I started reading the story of Addie and Blake I felt in love with both characters. Stories about reincarnation are of my favorites subgenres inside the fantasy world because they blend the power of imagination with a realness that seeps into the bone.
If I thought the first book was a master piece, then I have no words to describe what the second book did to me while I was reading it.
I only have praise and admiration for the work Alyssa Richards has created and the only thing I have left to say is give this series a chance because it may be your new favorite read!" Azahara, Living in Our Own Story Book Blog
"Man oh man! Alyssa Richards has seriously outdone herself with trilogy. It encompasses love, passion, deception, heartache, reality and alternate reality. Just a stunning from start to finish. Each character was created with such care and have developed so well over the course of the trilogy. This conclusion has gripped my heart. It made me laugh andcry." Nay Denise, Nay's Pink Bookshelf
"The Last book in the series, and what a book it was. I'm kind of sad that it was goodbye for these fantastic characters and a amazing story. Alyssa Richards out did herself in book three. I have enjoyed every minute of this series...At times I was sat on the edge of my seat biting my nails afraid to continue reading...I have been on an unimaginable journey through these books and I'm so glad I said yes to reading them. I would definitely recommend anyone to read this series even if it is not your usual style of reading, you will definitely be hooked from page one." Linda Luscious Literature

I loved this trilogy, have reveiwed the three books individually, and now there's the chance for readers to get all three at once. That's always my preferred way of readinf trilogies and series, where I can indulge in a reading fest, immerse myslef in another world for ages, and really “feel” the story, be there with the characters. Sometimes its a shame to come back to the real world!
I love romance that has something extra, and though the genre selection didn’t suggest anything other than straight romance, it’s far more IMO, a beautiful romance with elements of paranormal and suspense.
Adeline comes from a family with extra talents, her sister can mentally “push” people to do what she wants, and Adeline has an ability to see the history from touching an object, and find out more about the people connected with it. Its not a gift that's brought her family happiness though,family, friends and her job have all been affected and not in a good way.
She’s decided that she’s going to ignore her gift, and look for something normal, a straightforward job, and try to live as everyone else does.
I loved Addie, felt for her when the job she enjoys turns out to bring her into real danger. Then there’s Blake and what a guy he is. The connection between them sizzles, steams and feels intense, but of course Addie knows he’s hiding things, not least because she suspects he has abilities similar to her sister, and the things of his she touches are blank. That just doesn't happen, has been done deliberately to hide things....so she tries to avoid him but he keeps on asking, and somehow she finds herself wrapped up in a relationship with him.
Though they're the main two characters there are many others, each with their own important place in the story, and adding to the cohesivness and reality of the novels.
It's a fabulous read, something so very different in the Fantasy/Paranormal genre which is dominated by stories that are just a couple of hundred pages or less, too often of a Vampire or Were hundreds of years old finding his Mate, in a simplistic, sickly thin story * roll eyes * so its a real treat to get a book I can really get stuck into, lost in the magic (!) of the story.

You see the danger and the consequences of what happens when fear is driving you. You see a romance blossom and grow along with the added element of time portals which made this an even more unique and thrilling read. Its amazing how any interaction no matter how small or insignificant can change the course of history or someone's destiny.

Best books I’ve read in awhile
This book is beautifully written. I was in the mood for a good romance and I got it; as well as an amazing story. Unfortunately it set the bar so high I will have a hard time finding another story that is as good!
