LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS!! I was intrigued from the start and could not put it down. Having Mallory being from the present time and adjusting to her new world was intriguing on its own but add in the mysteries and interesting character - SO SO FABULOUS! I cannot wait to read the next book!!

Yeet all suspension of disbelief and go with it as easily as Mallory did.
This is a very interesting take on time travel (and historical mystery). I liked the narrative of discovering details of the time period as Mallory did. Instead of a boring info dump.
I had guessed the killer near the beginning.But the reveal that he was also a time traveler, using methods from the future, I didn't see coming. Which bumped the rating from 3 stars to 4.
In the end, there are 3 people who know she really is. And they accept it as easily as she did. Though I liked the clever way of using modern speech as proof she isn't from the world. Her elaborate story would be farfetched even for someone in an asylum. I wonder what ripple effects her presence will have on time.
Definitely continuing the next book.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I really really enjoyed the book- usually murder mysteries aren’t my thing because they’re too predictable but this had me on the edge of my seat! The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars was the end. Way too abrupt but I guess that’s what the second book is for.

An excellent murder mystery with a historical twist. I wasn’t entirely sure I would enjoy the time travel angle but it didn’t come off as cheesy as I expected. I loved everything about this story. It was well written and kept me interested all the way through. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I really enjoyed the mystery and Mallory trying to figure out how to survive in a different time, how to try getting home, and especially catching the killer.
I wish we would have had more time with the killer. There was no real time put into why he used the feathers. The storyline was just dropped. The reveal ended up being straightforward as well. I had some fun ideas on who the killer could be but it ended up being an obvious option that Mallory didn’t really consider.
