Fae Witch’s Vampire Guard (Dark Lords of London Book 3) by Jessie Donovan

5 Stars

Fated time traveler

This book gives us Reika Hashimoto and Stone Riley’s story.  As the prior two books in this series, one of this couple is moved from the present day back into Victorian England.  This is a short book, but very enjoyable.  Stone is the half-shifter half-vampire head of security for Leo Yates and his wife, the witch Yesenia.  Yesenia has the power to bring fated mates together, which is the premise behind the stories.  Each of the books can be read as a single story but are better when read in order so the characters and background story mesh together.  I received and ARC of the book from the author through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.

Book 2 of the Dark Lords of London

This second book of the series gives us the vampire sister of Leo Yates (Book 1), Nora who has lived a traumatized life while she was a teenager, and the brother of Yesenia Vale, Dr. River Vale.   Yesenia was attempting to use her Witch Time Bender powers to bring into the past a Fated Mate to a vampire.  She did not focus on Nora, but Nora’s Fated Mate is who she has brought back in time- who turns out to be her brother.  The story continues as the two try and reconcile their different lives.  Jessie Donovan gives us quite a bit of backstory for both of these main characters, which would allow a reader who hasn’t read the first book to read this one with minimum problems.  The characters are well developed, and the plot is easily followed.  This series is a new direction for the author and shows that her imagination knows no bounds.  I was given an ARC of this book by the author, and this is my honest opinion.

If I Could Turn Back Time (Time Travel Book 2) by Mary Frame

4 Stars

Time Travel or Paranormal Story?

We meet Amelia Peters, who is the daughter of two now deceased paranormal investigators.  The role her parents have played in Amelia’s life is covered more than once, with Amelia having decided that her parents were frauds.  She now inherits a small cabin, which she moves into.  The prior tenant of the cabin died there 5 years ago.  As Amelia spends time in the cabin, a mysterious man shows us, questions her as to why she is in his cabin, and then disappears.  This happens several times, and Amelia finds out his name is Grey, who is completely real and solid to her touch.  And he is also the prior tenant.  The author weaves an interesting story of this couple and what Amelia does to find out what happened to Grey in the past.  I enjoyed the book, but it took me 75-100 pages to get into the story.  Mary Frame gives the time travel aspect of the book a plausible explanation, and it’s well written.  And she gives Amelia back some of the lost faith in her parents.  I was given an ARC of this book to read, and this is my honest opinion.
