This was a lovely time travel story that kept you thinking. For some reason it took me a while to get into this one.

I was at about the 20% mark on my Kindle before I thought to myself that I’d be finishing it. I’m not sure what it was exactly. The author has a nice writing style, the story moves along at a good pace, and the characters are well developed. I honestly can’t pin down why it didn’t grab me from the first few pages, but it wasn’t a fault of the story. Maybe it was just me? Maybe it was that Lacey travels back to 1949 rather than further back like many time travel stories and it was a bit of a mental adjustment? I don’t know.

But if this happens to you I seriously recommend persevering because the story is a good one. It has a bit of a suspenseful theme going through it where the POV switches to someone in Lacey’s own time period who seems to be stalking her with malicious intent. The who and why doesn’t become clear until later in the book and it is a very satisfying ending when it happens.

I very much enjoyed Beneath the Lake by Casi Mclean and I’d certainly recommend picking up a copy.
