Temple of Indra's Lies
The Past Is Never Far Behind…It Also Won’t Stay Buried
The page has turned at last. Sophia Marcil’s nemesis is six feet under and she’s off to return the cursed sapphire to India, so she can settle into the next chapter of her life—a new bookshop and wedded bliss. One problem, her wedding day has come early and the wrong man stands at the altar. The mysterious temple has sent Sophia back into the past, more specifically, into the body of the soon to be murdered bride of Dunlace Castle—a place she was hired to research. Thankfully her detour into the past is brief and she returns to safety in her own time. But how safe is she? Three dead bodies and her missing groom have Sophia wondering if her time travel has changed more than the castle’s structure. To make matters worse an empty grave leads her to believe that her nemesis is alive and forcing her fiancé to time travel. Sophia is determined to dig up the truth but will it mean returning to a place she swore she’d written off? Everyone has their cross to bear and Sophia’s might just live to haunt her.

THE UNSTOPPABLE SOPHIA MARCIL
Sophia Marcil and her fiancé Cullen O’Kelley have been to hell and back, racking up physical injuries and a lot of dead relatives along the way. Who’s to blame? Not ‘who,’ but ‘what’? A cursed gem passed down to her in the opening chapters of the first novel in this series curses Sophia to an often dangerous life of time travel, leaving her no choice in where she goes or whose body she’ll occupy. Determined to rid herself of the cursed sapphire once and for all, she and Cullen journey to the temple in India where the stone was first placed. Leaving it there, they hope, will appease the gods. But it’s not to be, and Sophia finds herself in mid-16th Century Ireland instead. A crafty witch, a miserable Da, and a beast fiancé who’d love nothing better than to ‘do ill’ stack up against her well-being and even her life. Will her true love Cullen save her, or will the body she now occupies have to rely on 21st Century wits and a 16th Century love interest to get her back to where she belongs? A wild romp with plenty of irony and fish out of water insights to stymie 16th Century sensibilities, you will love the latest time-traveling tale from author Rachael Stapleton.

The adventure continues for Sophia and Cullen and Leslie. Very little time travel in this one, but the historical characters were given some read time, so you could understand the different past lives of all the characters circling each other throughout time. There was more danger and mystery afoot in this installment. A new interesting wrinkle seems to involve Leslie more than in the past two books. I'm again looking forward to the next book in the series, Indra's Witch.

Cullen and Sophia have married and are off to return the purple sapphire to Indra. But where is Indra? They travel India in search of the right spot. After returning, Cullen is back to working on a local castle which also seems to be linked to the sapphire. Great story.

This series just gets better and better. You think you know what's going on and then the author twists it up and you end up saying, "What?! No way!" Keeps you on the edge of your seat.
