Others: Positive

Libby has been given a powerful gift: to live one life in 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilded Age New York City. When she falls asleep in one life, she wakes up in the other. While she's the same person at her core in both times, she's leading two vastly different lives. In Colonial Williamsburg, Libby is a public printer for the House of Burgesses and the Royal Governor, trying to provide for her family and support the Patriot cause. The man she loves, Henry Montgomery, has his own secrets. As the revolution draws near, both their lives--and any hope of love--are put in jeopardy. Libby's life in 1914 New York is filled with wealth, drawing room conversations, and bachelors. But the only work she cares about--women's suffrage--is discouraged, and her mother is intent on marrying her off to an English marquess. The growing talk of war in Europe only complicates matters. But Libby knows she's not destined to live two lives forever. On her twenty-first birthday, she must choose one path and forfeit the other--but how can she choose when she has so much to lose in each life?

    Our love is timeless. Will is my fiancé. The shy man I met years ago in college. The person I’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with. This is the life I’ve always wanted until finding a picture of four men changes everything… Etienne says he’s my husband and the year is 1912. He can’t stand the sight of me, but I don’t know why. Oh, and he’s one of the men from the picture. I’ve done the impossible and have become trapped in time and I know Etienne is my key to going home. The more time I spend with Etienne, the further I fall for him, until I’m questioning which time I belong in and if the life I left behind is the one I truly desire. All I know for certain is I need to survive time. I need to survive love. And I need to make it out on the other side alive. Contemporary Romance/Time Travel

  • The Everlasting

    Others: Overwhelmingly positive

    Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters—but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory—failed soldier, struggling scholar—falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives—and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend—if they want to tell a different story--they’ll have to rewrite history itself.

    When Babe—the complicated, magnetic matriarch of their teenage summers—dies, four estranged friends return to sleepy Mercy Island, a storm-swept stretch of coastal Georgia, summoned by the reading of her will. Didion arrives at the timeworn pink house to find the friends she never thought she’d see again—along with the tensions, attractions, and unfinished business that once bound them together and broke them apart. What should be a brief weekend of small talk quickly unravels when they wake up and discover...it’s Saturday. Again. And again. And again. Trapped in a time loop with no end and no instructions, they’re forced to confront the betrayals, breakups, and buried truths that shattered them all those years ago. Because maybe, just maybe, an endless weekend is exactly what they all need to save their own lives.

  • Witch's Heart

    2021 · 368 pages · 4 reviews

    Others: Overwhelmingly positive

    When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches’ tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces three unusual children, each with a secret destiny, who Angrboda is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin’s all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life—and possibly all of existence—is in danger. With help from the fierce huntress Skadi, with whom she shares a growing bond, Angrboda must choose whether she’ll accept the fate that she’s foreseen for her beloved family…or rise to remake their future. From the most ancient of tales this novel forges a story of love, loss, and hope for the modern age.

    No segundo volume da série que conquistou o TikTok, a princesa Aurora se vê presa entre dois poderosos alfas, enquanto uma força sombria desperta. Aurora pode ter sobrevivido ao Rei Lobo, mas a mordida dele deixou uma marca em sua pele. Segundo a Lei dos Lobos, isso faz dela propriedade dele. Agora, ele a quer de volta. Para derrotá-lo e tomar seu trono, Aurora e Callum precisam formar uma aliança perigosa com um dos Lobos mais temidos do Reino: Blake. Ele pode ser um inimigo, mas, para salvá-la, entrelaçou sua vida à de Aurora ― o que significa que tudo que o alfa sofrer, a princesa sofrerá também. Enquanto tenta romper essa conexão, Aurora suspeita de que Blake esteja escondendo segredos sobre um poder sombrio que desperta no Norte e sobre a natureza inquietante do vínculo entre eles. Parece haver em curso uma trama muito maior do que a mera disputa pelo Trono dos Lobos ― uma trama que ameaça tanto o Reino dos Lobos quanto o Reino dos Homens. Com inimigos se aproximando, relacionamentos sendo postos à prova e segredos revelados, Aurora pode ser a única capaz de impedir a ascensão de um mal ancestral.
