Past Perfekt
Summer, 1940. Britain is at war. Harriet Bell, an evacuee from London, is sent to the country to stay with her Mad Aunt Dot until the bombs stop falling. Life in the city may have been perilous but, as Harriet is about to discover, the ‘sleepy’ village of Bartleby is no picnic either. Why does a strange car appear in the village each midnight? Why does her oddball Aunt keep painting the same mysterious man? What are the eccentric Professor Trevelyan and his peculiar sister, Agatha, up to? And what do the Egyptian god Thoth and The Key to Immortality have to do with it all? Harriet will soon be entrusted with a fantastic secret. But, when the Third Reich casts its shadow over everything she holds dear, Harriet must undergo a mystical transformation and embark upon a terrifying mission to save them all. Disembodied and plunged into the heart of Nazi Germany in a desperate race against time itself... what could possibly go wrong? Past Perfekt is a fantastical, historic time-travel adventure with a supernatural twist. If you enjoy rip-roaring adventures followed by a nice cream tea, then this tale of wartime derring-do will be your perfect escape. Dive into Past Perfekt today!

Past Perfekt is filled with vivid and imaginative settings and characters and tackles time travel in a wholly new way. It's not often a writer has so many surprises up her sleeve and doles them out one after another. Highly recommended for fans of the St. Mary's books.

I really enjoyed about 90% of this. I had to keep reminding myself that Harriet is very young, because some of her actions were extraordinarily immature. The primary twist was fairly obvious but there was one aspect of it that had me feeling like even for a fantastical story, that really was a bit too much. Other than that though, I thought the overall concept was clever and I liked the cast of side characters, particularly Grimm.
