Review

In book six of the Magic of Wishes & Dreams series, Rebecca has been accused of witchcraft, so she uses a magic talisman to transport herself from 1692 Salem to the present day. There she meets an assortment of human and supernatural creatures who help her adjust to living in a new time.

Wolf shifter Jake knows Rebecca is his mate, but she’s so lost and vulnerable. As they get to know each other, a danger from her not-so-distant past returns to wreck havoc on their lives.

Becca and Jake were wonderful characters. I loved how she grew accustomed to living in the 21st century so well, and that Jake was so familiar with Colonial America that he was able to help her adapt. Jacinth, Alessandra, Katerina, and other characters from the earlier books returned, and it was great seeing them again.

As with the other books, however, there are some editing issues and more telling than showing.

That stated, I still liked this book a lot. A Witch in Time is a fun, emotionally charged sweet romance with great characters and detailed plot. I’m happy I read it.
