I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes in the power of love and how it can work in mysterious ways. Especially since the story is all too believable. The characters are all to easy to relate too and the circumstances are ones that anyone who has lost a loved one would wish for. THE NIGHT MARK has to be one of the better time travel romances that I have had the pleasure to read. She becomes fascinated by the derelict lighthouse on Bride Island but the last thing that she expects is to be pulled through time to meet the lighthouse keeper who is the image of her late husband. She corrected that mistake is and starting to claw her way out of her depression by taking on a new photo commission. Fans of Kate Morton and Diana Gabaldon will fall in love with the mystery, romance and beauty of an isolated South Carolina lighthouse, where a power greater than love works its magic.įaye made a big mistake after her husband was killed by marrying his best friend. She has nothing to live for in the present, but finds there's something worth dying for in the past…įrom Tiffany Reisz, the international bestselling storyteller behind The Bourbon Thief and The Original Sinners series, comes an enthralling new novel about a woman swept away by the tides who awakens to find herself in 1921, reunited with the husband she's been mourning for four years. I firmly believe everything and everyone in this read could have been set into any other non-time travel setting and this would have been another 5-star read for me. Even my intense love of Tiffany Reisz and her stellar writing couldn’t get me past the time travel. The Bottom Line: Quite literally the only thing that kept me from loving this read is the time travel element. Not one, not ever! Slipping into one of her books is always so easy to do simply because of the quality of the writing.
The writing: Tiffany Reisz is one of the most polished contemporary writers and I never find any flaws with her writing. The problems: There is just one problem after the next including the fact Faye isn’t from 1921, Carrick thinks Faye is someone completely different, Carrick is not an earlier version of Faye’s husband, the love square (because a triangle would be too easy!), Faye has issues in her own time she hasn’t dealt with and needs to deal with, and there is real danger and threats toward Faye and Carrick in 1921 which must be dealt with. He also looks strikingly like Faye’s deceased husband which causes all kinds of mixed feelings and loads of confusion. He’s the lighthouse keeper, retired military, and saver of lost souls. Carrick is strong, sweet, caring, sexy, and bound and determined to do right by Faye (or her 1921 counterpart!). It isn’t until she finds the Bride Island lighthouse that absolutely everything in her life changes including the time she’s living in.Ĭarrick Morgan: What. Since, her second marriage has failed miserably and she has sunk into a deep depression. In fact, the lighthouse becomes as much a character in this read as Faye and her boys.įaye: From the beginning and with good reason, Faye is a miserable creature! She had one blissful year with her soulmate before he was brutally killed while trying to help. It has a wonderful if tragic history that provides an excellent backdrop for Faye’s own tragic story. The Lighthouse: The Bride Island lighthouse is a brilliant setting for a story. Literally everything else about this read! Here’s the skinny: You guessed it, the time travel! You would find this super-ironic if you knew me in the “real” world and understood my intense and deeply abiding love for Doctor Who ☹ BUT, I am a huge fan of Tiffany Reisz and I went into this read hoping my intense love of the author would heavily outweigh my dislike of time travel. I will admit from the very beginning, I am not a fan of the time travel trope.
