I mean we have a strong heroine, an arrogant love interest, a super interesting time travel element (An inherited time travel gene?! Give it to me! *lol*), mystery, suspense, action, LONDON and a misogynistic, horrible antagonist I really want to kick in his – let’s keep this child-friendly – private parts! -P I’ve read many of her books already but I’ve to admit that this series has a special place in my heart. At the beginning of the year I made 2020 my “German speaking Authors Year” and decided to give a special shout-out to rather unknown (German/Austrian) authors that write great books! Well, Kerstin Gier certainly is one of them! -) It’s no secret that I’m a huge Kerstin Gier fan and to be honest my main motivation to reread this book was to make sure that more people become aware of it. ”Ready for the next adventure, Princess?” He's obnoxious, a know-it-all, and possibly the best-looking guy she's seen in any century.
She's totally unprepared for time travel, not to mention all that comes with it: fancy clothes, archaic manners, a mysterious secret society, and Gideon, her time-traveling counterpart. It comes as an unwelcome surprise when she starts taking sudden, uncontrolled leaps into the past. The time-traveling gene that runs like a secret thread through the female half of the family is supposed to have skipped over Gwen, so she hasn't been introduced to "the mysteries," and can spend her time hanging out with her best friend, Lesley. In spite of her ancestors' peculiar history, she's had a relatively normal life so far. Sixteen-year-old Gwen lives with her extended - and rather eccentric - family in an exclusive London neighborhood. Or more precisely, the one who'd kissed my doppelganger while I was hiding behind the curtain in disbelief.
This was the guy I'd seen on my last journey back in time. Although I had never seen him before, I recognized him immediately.
