A Twist in Time by Julie McElwain

3.0

Kendra is still stuck in the past, with the gradual realization that the past might become her future. There are no signs of the wormhole that took her back in time. She is struggling with the limitations on women in Regency society.

Alec, who is the only reason I was interested in this sequel, is accused of murdering his former mistress. So it’s a good thing Kendra is still around to use her modern forensic skills to fix this situation.

Just a side note, does it bother anyone else how many fictional characters who aren’t in a profession that deals with murder stumble across a murder? I mean what are the odds?

Kendra annoyed me in this book. I know she’s anxious to go home. But come on, you’ve got people bending over backwards to help you, and you’re still a brat Kendra. Gah.

The duke who takes Kendra in makes a cover story that she is his ward. He also is paying her way through clothes, a tutor, ladies maid, etc. He is a smart man and curious about what the future holds. But Kendra won’t tell him because of the butterfly effect or other nonsense.

Girl, you are running around Regency England solving murders? How the hell is that not affecting the future?!? Your logic makes no sense.

This is why I should stay away from time travel novels. It makes my brain hurt.


But I’m a sucker and I kind of hope she goes to the future and takes Alec with her. So maybe I’ll continue this series.
