My Review: (4.5/5 stars*)

I'm going to be completely honest the first book A Chance for Charity in the Immortal Ones series didn't do it for me. I felt like it was too slow and lacked the necessary elements of an interesting story. However, My Link in Time surprised me in the absolute best way whereas with A Chance for Charity I didn't want to pick it back up immediately but with My Link in Time I refused to put it down. I feel like S.L. Baum figured out the missing link to making this an excellent story, no pun intended. A truly engrossing read. Action, suspense, and mystery held it all together, just as I had pegged Charity's character the author decided to make her even more layered with an even bigger twist of fate. Although less romance I loved the back stories of other characters that integrated itself to show different character's perspectives and pasts. Fantastic book. I loved it. Truly unique from other reads, the story stuck with me and compelled me to write up a worthy review. I can't wait to read the next book in the series: Our Summer of Discontent (The Immortal Ones, #3).

SYNOPSIS:

Small problem. But when an old witch friend of Catherine's shows up things get strange and Charity's happily-ever-after is abruptly postponed.
