  The story continues as Sybil discovers and uses more of the holy water.  It allows her to cross between the present time and Middle Ages.  While in the past she runs across Nicholas and to help him stays in the past.  As they dodge the people who were after Nicholas in the first place, they come to know each other more.  Soon Sybil will have to make the ultimate choice.  An enjoyable series.

  Mae is trying to enjoy Thanksgiving and still get ready for her wedding day. It's hard to do in the south, so she has come up with a plan to keep in shape.  She decides to participate in the Turkey Trot to help.  Of course things don't go as planned, and she has to solve another murder.  Mae has her hands full trying to solve the mystery and keep everyone happy.  A fun Thanksgiving read. 

  I love getting immersed in a book and this one really pulls you in.  Whenever the book club chooses a book they become a part of it.  Since I am good at solving mysteries, I think I might be a good fit for the club. It might be a little weird though actually becoming a part of the story.   This time they are drawn out west, the old Wild West and have to deal with the craziness of the time as well as the lack of modern convinces.  The club comes together again to have an exciting time as they find out more about history and figure out how to get home. 

Lynda and Bill have a role to play.  They have to blend in in Istanbul to put a stop to a terrorist threat.  They have a past so it is hard for them to put it aside and do their job well.  Lynda is determined to catch the bad guys since they murdered her partner and  Bill is determined to keep Lynda safe at all costs.   Very suspenseful and page turning. 

 Lydie never feels like she really fits into her community.  She wants to leave but is just not sure.  She gets a chance to have a little more time to figure things out when she is offered a new job. While there she has to work out her feeling and decide what really matters. 

  I am glad to get to hear the story of Ivy. She has worked hard to establish herself a someone she wants to be instead of just who she is expected to be. She gets caught by an old acquaintance, Jericho and has to decide how to handle it . Jericho finds himself growing more attracted to Ivy but is not sure how to combine his past and present. A great read with lots of action. Look forward to more.
