OrangeReviewStarFBI agent Kendra Donovan learned early on how to take care of herself. She brings that sense of survival to her career, gaining recognition and praise. But when a raid goes wrong, and half her team is killed, she goes rogue and travels to Aldrich Castle in England to hunt down the man responsible for so many deaths. Here begins a story line of time travel, used successfully by so many authors, including Karen Marie Moning, Audrey Niffenegger, and Diana Gabaldon. While escaping gunfire, Kendra runs into a stairwell that turns out to be a wormhole in time that closes behind her. She is still in Aldrich Castle, but now the year is 1815. Confused and almost delirious, she is mistaken for a lady's maid from America by the Duke of Aldrich and his son, Alex. As she quickly adapts to her new reality, Kendra cannot help but become involved when a shocking murder occurs. What happens next tests everyone's presumptions of who Kendra is and what she knows.
VERDICT This first novel is absolutely captivating and will appeal to readers of fiction, mystery, and romance. Expect to stay engaged until the final page. Author, a sequel, please! [An April LibraryReads pick.]
