I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own
When Rebekah received a letter from England telling her she had come into an inheritance she was intrigued. She didn’t know the person who had died and knew nothing about the name. Travelling to England to sign for her inheritance and to conduct research for the universe she worked at Rebekah discovers that she is more involved in the history that she can imagine.
This was a page turner and one that had me anticipating every page. Although the world was not overly detailed it wasn’t really needed as it was still of this world. I love the Druid context and would have loved to read more about it as this only came to the fore towards the end.
Rebekah and Arik’s story is not new but the twist was unexpected and not unwelcome to be honest.
The writing style of the author was simple and easy to read and made it easy to continue reading until the very end.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for a copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review
This book was a huge surprise for me. I haven't heard of this book or author and I am shocked by that because there aren't a whole lot of time travel books and I love them. So I try to find all the ones I can. Rebeka is a modern girl who found out she inherited an estate in England. She somehow travels back in time and we meet Lord Arik. Look you guys, Arik is an ass. He is. He didn't trust the girl that just showed up.. which I guess I understand. He grows on you though. He shows a sweeter side to Rebeka and you kind of learn to love him. I really liked Rebeka. She was strong and smart and not at all like any of the women back then. Obviously she's not from that time. But I loved watching her adapt and make friends.
There were alot of surprises in this book that I didn't see coming. I will absolutely be reading the next book in the series!
Thank you netgalley for my copy of this book. All thoughts and opinion are my own.
What a wonderful book!! I very much enjoyed the story and the two main characters where awed and engaging!
Rebeka Tyler, Dr. Rebeka Tyler actually. Rebeka finds out that she is the heir to the estate of Fayne Manor. She never knew her mother or where her mother came from, her father raised her never really speaking of her family history. All she was told was that she was to keep her staff with her at all times. Once she arrives at the estate that she inherited, there’s an immediate connection to the land, she doesn’t recognize what it is at first. As the story progresses and we learn of all the characters and the connections you start to understand her role in everything that is happening.
I enjoyed this story of time travel, Rebeka and Lord Arik are a perfect couple. I love this story line and the ease in which to follow. I enjoyed the adventure and the magic of this story.
I enjoyed Knight of Runes by Ruth A. Casie. I think this book was a fun take on Scottish historical romance. I’m always a sucker for a paranormal/ fantasy book, couple that with a historical romance and I’m in heaven. I loved this book. It really gave me a new genre to search for when I hunt down my next read.
The plot was well thought out and had all the things I desire in a great book. There was romance, murder, mayhem, battles and figurative and literal magic. I think this book definitely crossed all the “t’s” and dotted every “i”. I couldn’t have been happier if the author wrote the book specifically for me.
There were a couple minor typos in the book, but nothing I couldn’t easily gloss over. Overall, it was edited well and there was no continuity or content issues that greatly detracted from the story or my reading.
All in all, I felt very fortunate to have received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. It was well written and I can’t wait to pick up another read written by this wonderful story crafter.
Ok so I really enjoyed this book, there was so much story going on but I never felt lost. This was exciting and captivating, I will say the ending had me a little with a ..... what just happened here..... this more definitely not a cliff hanger, but almost like hitting a wall. The story just comes to an end rather quickly. But I loved it and I look forward to reading ore from this author.
Loved the story. It is extremely well written, entertaining and full of surprises. While in London inquiring about an unexpected inheritance, Rebeka accidentally gets caught up in a portal and travels back in time four hundred years where she meets Lord Arik. Things are not always as they appear, there is magic involved and a great deal of danger. Rebeka is a strong woman and in this new time setting she is just as strong which makes for some interesting interactions considering how women were perceived at that time. It is also a beautiful love story and there ate even more disclosed surprises and secrets that I would never have thought possible. It is a great story and look forward to the next book in this series. I would highly recommend this book for a great read.
Rebeka Taylor unexpectedly travels from 2011 to 1605. Lord Arik finds Rebeka travelling and swears to protect her but what he doesn't realize is that Rebeka is not like other ladies, she can protect herself. Rebeka is desperate to figure out how to travel back to her own time. While trying to figure that out, can she also help Arik figure out what is killing his land? And will she find out what - or who - brought her back in time?
This book is a time travel romance with knights, druids, and fighting against the evil in the land. I like how the narration goes back and forth between the main characters. I thought it was a good read but I was frustrated to get to the end and realize it isn't the end for the HEA.
This book was given to me an an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
This book mesmerized me with plot, writing and romance. Time travel at its best. What I liked the best from the book was the fact that the story includes a secret. That itself kept me want to read the book even more.
This is the author I have to investigate for and keep reading!💗
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for awarding me with this ARC.
Knight of Runes is a wonderful tale that has a very Outlander vibe to it but is still a story on its own. I really enjoyed this book, more than I had imagined. I like how there is a built-up and we get to know Rebeka and her life in modern day society. She is as mysterious as she is independent and while we learn a few things about her history and past, I do feel as the author could've explored that more. As I progressed in the book I had quite some questions and some have been left unanswered.
We meet Lord Arik and his family and while I initially really disliked him I started to grow fond of him along the way. This book has very interesting characters, a wonderful setting and of course we all love a good time travel romance. I was glad to see the romance was built slowly and not sudden. It makes for a more realistic image of love growing between people.
There were also a few things I wasn't a big fan of. At times the book feels rushed which is a shame because I really appreciate the author's good balance in the beginning of the book. I also felt as if sometimes things just happened to easily or too quickly. For someone who has just traveled from 2011 to the 1600's, Rebeka is awfully calm and collected. Not that I minded it much but I could imagine why people would find the book to be slightly unbelievable.
That doesn't take away though that I really enjoyed this story and I'm quite curious to see what the author has come up with for the sequel! All in all this is a book for anyone who loves fantasy and romance, lords and ladies, a beautiful setting. It will give you a relaxing and enjoyable break from your own life.
