Ahoy there me mateys!  I received this fantasy eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  So here be me honest musings . . .

The cover drew me in and three things convinced me to read this book:

1. I love Kelley Armstrong!  I discovered her through her young adult book, sea of shadows, and she became me most read author of 2016;
2. It is a Subterranean Press book and they do great work; and
3. This is the second book in the a stitch in time series.

This book was much better than the first!  This story follows Rosalind, who accidentally enters the time slip and lands in the 21st century leaving her husband and son in the past.  When she gets back to the past, she finds out that everyone believes she is dead.  Fate takes a hand by getting her a job as a governess to her son.  How can she convince her family that she is back especially when ghosts are afoot and someone wants the governess dead?

The first book's relationship problems could have been solved with some honest communication. I am glad there was less of that in book two. Both books require some heavy suspension of disbelief.  I was annoyed that how Rosalind survives her many years in the 21st century are skipped over.  I also thought how threads of the plot tied together in the end were hasty stitched together.

Overall though, I focused on the story being a silly fun melodrama with ghosts and let it be light entertainment.  I did enjoy the relationship between Rosalind and her son.  I enjoyed watching the husband realize his mistakes.  It was a fun read for halloween.

Happy Halloween!  Arrr!

So lastly . . .

Thank you Subterranean Press!
