Synopsis

Isabel Griffin has done her best to move on since her boyfriend, Max Adair, vanished without a trace eight years ago, leaving her heartbroken—and pregnant. Eerily enough, this isn't the first time someone Isabel loves has gone missing. When she was sixteen, her mother disappeared, and her father became obsessed with finding his long-lost wife—at the expense of parenting Isabel.

Determined not to repeat her father's mistakes, Isabel works hard to become a respected archaeologist and a loving mother to her daughter, Finn, a little girl with very unusual abilities. But while Isabel is on a dig in Barbados, she receives a disturbing phone call. The hauntingly familiar voice on the other end speaks just four words—"Isabel. Keep her safe."—before they're disconnected.

Isabel tries to convince herself that the caller can't possibly be Max. But what if it is, and Finn is in danger? As one mysterious event after another occurs, she can't shake the feeling that, despite what everyone else believes, Finn's father is alive—and he's desperately trying to reach her.

Goodreads review by Angie on June 16, 2017

I think I'll settle on 3.5 stars, but definitely have some conflicted feelings on it. What I liked: Time slip and the era/setting they went to (rebellion era Barbados--early 1800s) Quirky characters Archaeology What I didn't like so much: Gratuitous sex a few times (too descriptive without any real rea......more

This book has a lovely cover which is what caught my eye enough to read the description as well.

I give this book 4.5/5 dragonfly necklaces. I finished this last night, or rather early in the morning, past 1 a.m. I just can't seem to put the book down. I had to finish it because I knew that I would not be able to sleep unless I find how the story turned out. Looking at the title, it doesn't give......more
