I wanted to read this book mostly for the time travel portion of it. I'm not a huge fan of romance novels, so I was a bit apprehensive about it at first. However, I actually ended up enjoying it very much, even the romance portion of it. The romance wasn't overdone by any means. There were some sexual parts, but the characters were warm, funny and relatable. It was interesting to see how Annet fared in the 1800's, considering her foul mouth and progressive thinking was somewhat shocking to the people of that era. This was a unique story that I surprisingly ended up loving.

I rarely write reviews. I'm not going to give you an overview or summary about this book because you'll be able to find plenty of those. I'm just here to say that if you haven't read this book, buy it and read the damn book. I'm not usually one to cry while reading a book or watching a movie, but I ended this one on the bathroom floor in tears. Maybe it's just what I needed to read at this particular time in my life, but this is one of those books that will stay with me forever.

A series of interconnected tales that require A LOT of concentration. I love the witty humor and love, love, LOVE the strong female characters in this book. That being said, it's nearly impossible to get through this book in a timely manner. I found myself having to put it down numerous times in order to process some of the stories. There were even times where I had an extreme urge to create a flow chart in order to piece the winding tales together. I'm not sure anyone can get through this book quickly and quite honestly I can't see why anyone would want to. This book is immersive, compelling and beautifully written and it deserves your undivided attention.

Incredibly graphic. I was hoping I would get more answers and then, just like that, it was over. I enjoyed every bit of it, even the abrupt ending. “Two damned spirits, ignorant of their fates and condemned to play out some ghoulish tragedy.” Update: it's been a week since I finished reading this book and it's still consuming my thoughts.
