Victoria Romanski proves herself as first-rate storyteller with a book that takes you a on a rollercoaster ride through time. The characters are authentic and engaging and immediately capture you.
I found this to have tight writing and rich, fast-paced character development. The reader is afraid to look up from the page for fear of missing something.
Great read. You'll get so invested in James and his journey.
