I really enjoyed this book.
It is the story of a woman who takes a chance on time itself to save Elizabeth, a woman who died centuries before. Take a leap of faith and enjoy this magical book.
Elizabeth was believed to have been a witch and as such was put to death. Charlotte, herself, is a follower of Wicca, and feels that she could save Elizabeth. What follows is Charlotte’s story as she leaves her normal life behind and tries to take herself back into history. However she learns that by doing t ...more

The beauty of friends is that they pass on novels they have enjoyed. Sky Watcher: A Shadow in time is one such and came at the perfect time; winter chills and high snow drifts. What better way to spend the hours then with a surprising delight.
Sky Watcher: A shadow in time is grounded in Wicca magic, tied to generations past and of death, betrayal, tainted love and secrets laid bare. I become absorbed in a book which draws me into its pages and this one surely did. Within its 580 pages are well d ...more

Sky Watcher is a charming exposé of 19th century life through the lens of modern social ideals. It has a good plot and engages with the life of a small town in rural America when life was simple but also hard.
Charlie is a charming protagonist and Lynn describes human relations and interpersonal interaction very well. I enjoyed it but it wasn't sufficiently unique to really make a mark. Additionally, Lynn's ahistoric understanding of society and norms affected the believability of some scenes.

Sky Watcher: A Shadow in Time -Brilliantly done by Heather Lynn. The time travel story will take you from modern day and immerse you into a vivid time in the past where the characters invite you into their lives. You will laugh and cry. You will be angry and cheer as Heather pulls at your emotions.

A terrific debut novel!
This story takes Charlotte to 1818, a simpler time, a time where she perhaps stands out a little, maybe has some odd expressions. She makes some deep friendships and some enemies. The characters in this story are delightful, their chit-chat is fun. We get a good sense of the time period and perhaps learn a thing or two about Wicca and herbs. There is friendship and there is love (occasionally a bit spicy). This is an adult story.

Escape into the fantasy and time-travel of Heather Lynn's novel, Sky Watcher: A Shadow in Time.
This is an historical fiction yet it shifts from past to present with future contemplations.
In her lifetime
Hers had been a tragic and
Unfortunate fate.
In my lifetime,
A time in which I am free to believe
And act upon my convictions
hers is a future,
I intend to prevent.
"Without question, it would be easier to move forward when I was no longer in the here and now. Tomorrow would change everything."
But, how ...more

I picked up this book because I like historical fiction and references to Wicca/paganism. The author provided a good sense of the time Charlotte, the protagonist, traveled to in order to try and save her ancestor. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but at the end, I felt moved. The author made me care about these characters. I do hope another book is coming.

This book was recommended by a friend. Everything she said about the story was absolutely true!
The characters came right off the page and I found myself falling for more than one of them! The research that went into this story shows in the details of the times, the herbs, stones and the Wiccan rituals. I enjoyed the interactions between the characters, each had their own lingo and/or accent. I laughed and I cried - I love it when a book can do that! I look forward the the release of Heather Lyn ...more
