Lovely story!
Jessica Maxwell found a keystone with a mysterious substance and wrote a research paper on it but, unfortunately, has been unable to repeat her findings. So, she’s now working on a small archeological dig in Scotland testing soil samples. While looking at the arch on the dig, Jess meets an old woman named Irene MacAskil who gives her a mysterious message then disappears. Late one night and two people break into Jess’ lab and steal her keystone so she goes after them. They go to the arch and Jess soon winds up in trouble.
Ramsay MacAuley has lived in the 21st century for a few years but is there through an agreement with the Fae. He’s really of another time. While he’s out one night, Irene finds him giving him his own mysterious message and a flyer for an archeological dig. He goes there and finds two people attacking a wonan so he immediately goes to defend her. In escaping, the pair wind up back in sixteenth century Scotland along with one of the bad guys. Together, Jess and Ramsay must fight an evil that wants to spread across Scotland and in so doing, they just might find their fate.
I absolutely LOVE this series and this book is no exception. I was hooked from the start and read it in one sitting. The characters, both bad and good, are well-rounded allowing the reader to get to know them, faults and all. I’m really looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend both book and series. While the books could be read on their own, you get more from the series if you read them in order.
Another excellent Arch Through Time book. And another MacAuley clan adventure.
Jessica Maxwell is a scientist working in Scotland that thought she had found a way to make her scientific career by discovering a new chemical analysis on a stone she discovered at a dig. Unfortunately, that doesn’t pan out and instead she finds herself in danger from from Adaira and Artair Campbell, a brother and sister that has been looking for the stone she described in her research paper.
Meanwhile, Ramsay MacAuley is having his own problems in the 21st Century. He is trying to stop the Campbell siblings from completing their mission to find the keystone to allow them to travel through the arch. He finds them shortly after they steal the keystone from Jessica and attempt to use it to open an arch at the site.
Instead, when Jessica tries to get her keystone back, she sets in motion events that land her and Ramsay in 16th century Scotland with a hitchhiking Artair and his gun. Now they need to stop Artair from creating any long-term damage in the 16th century as well as get Jessica back to her own time. What could go wrong?
I really enjoyed the different turns this book took. And you will enjoy it too. Makes me want to find my own archway through time.
I received an ARC of this ebook to read and give an honest review.
