Ratings and reviews

I am truly in love with this story. I hope that if it ever becomes a film that they truly stick to the story and not change anything about it. Audrey Rose and Thomas might have just pushed aside Elizabeth and Darcy or they are tied for my favorite literary couples.

I absolutely loved reading in Thomas's point of view! Also, the book gave some nice little background stuff we didn't get from Escaping Houdini. I definitely recommend it if you're into the series. Now I just have to deal with waiting until September to venture on the last part of this journey.

I'm a huge fan of this series, but I was very unhappy with the ending of the third book. I think this is an absolutely perfect continuation/edit, and gave me everything I desired in book 3. Thomas is a fantastic character, and I'm always thrilled to spend some quality time with him.
