by Kelley Armstrong
Book 3 in the Stitch in Time series
Releasing October 4, 2022
A Turn of the Tide is wonderful escapist fun, my favourite so far of Kelley Armstrong’s Stitch in Time series.
The basic premise is there’s a time stitch in an English manor, and our heroine Miranda (a 19th century writer of bodice rippers) tries to go through it to visit the future, but winds up in the past (1790 to be exact) and to save the life of a pirate ghost before he becomes a ghost (this makes sense I swear). And of course they fall in love.
This book has:
- Time travel romance
- Ghosts who help solve a mystery
- Swordfights on a sinking pirate ship
- So much hilarious banter
- Chubby badass athletic heroine
- French feminist pirate hero
- Caves, rock climbing, muskets, canons, a Roman shortsword, horse rescue, ridiculous banter about 18th century underwear
A Turn of the Tide is a short, quick read and packed with wonderfully silly nonsense in the best way.
This one can work as a standalone (the author provides a short introduction summarizing the previous books) but I do recommend the whole series if you like a good fluffy ghost time travel romance.
Thank you to Kelley Armstrong for my review copy of this book.
