Ruby Red (YA)
Ruby Red (YA)
This book is the first in a three book series. Gwyneth's family has a time travel gene that is passed down among the generations. Her family believes her cousin Charlotte carries the gene but it is actually Gwyneth who has it. She then begins to travel in time, trying to complete a mission to complete the circle of 12 time travelers.
This book is well written. The time travel seems to actually drive the plot rather than be a plot device. The characters are interesting and well-developed. There is a strong mystery aspect to the book. Along with that, there is romance as well. This book was a great, quick read and I look forward to number two being published.

So you didn't notice that the novel was originally written in German? That sounds great!
ReplyDeleteWhenever possible, I prefer reading the original version, as English books are sometimes poorly translated into German. That drives me wild!
Happy reading,
Birgit
