3.5 stars on this one.

I have mixed feelings about this book because there were things I liked and things I didn't really like on this one. I love Brackston's other stories so I immediately requested this when I saw it. Overall I thought the story was great - I loved how Brackston mixed in the past with Laura's story. The things I didn't like were mostly tied to Laura's interactions with Rhys, her neighbor.

I haven't read many books about Merlin and that was one of the things that drew me into the story. I loved the historical parts of the story and honestly wished I could have had more of that.

Rhys was creepy and as his story was revealed, he became even creepier. On top of that, I was not a fan of the way Laura handled the situation with him.

Overall, this story was only ok for me. With that said, there were parts that I really did like and because of that I would encourage people to check it out.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.
