Book Description

Publication Date: September 22, 2009 | Series: Time Raiders (Silhouette)

Join New York Times bestselling author P.C. Cast as the Time Raiders continue their desperate quest for the key to peace...by casting one more of their own into the dangerous unknown...with passionate results!

For Alexandra Patton, the Time Raiders project sends the reluctant psychic back to 60 AD Briton--a world where she can barely understand the accents, let alone its culture of brutality and superstition. Armed only with her "freakish" ability to talk to the dead, Alex must use all her gifts to entice Caradoc, a savagely sexy Druid warrior, into helping her succeed in her mission.

What they discover along the way is pure passion.

Now, torn between duty and the man of her dreams, should Alex return home if given the chance? Or dare she risk everything to begin anew in this strange and mystical land?

5.0 out of 5 stars fine romantic suspense thriller, October 6, 2009

This review is from: The Avenger: Time Raiders (Silhouette Nocturne) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Time Raiders send psychic Alexandra Patton back to 60 A.D. so that she can bring back part of the medallion that will enable Earth to join the alliance of other space-traveling planets. Alex loathes the brutal feral behavior of her hosts; as she speaks to the dead who often are victims of atrocities.

Alex pretends to be a soul speaker priestess to the goddess Andraste when she and Queen Boudica's Druidic cousin Caradoc meet and are attracted to one another. As she falls in love, he helps her adjust to ancient times. However, she knows that Boudica will die in the battle for Londinium, but fears Caradoc will too though she does not know for certain.

The third Time Raiders romantic suspense thriller (see The Seeker by Lindsay McKenna and The Slayer by Cindy Dees) is an entertaining tale that hooks readers from the opening dialogue between Alex and the dead but restful Andred and keeps the audience's attention throughout. The spin to the exciting story line is what the time traveler knows about ancient Britannia and does not as Alex fears her beloved will die alongside his famous warrior cousin. This tale and the saga are winners due to a strong casting leading to readers wanting to accompany the heroes on their treks back in time to find the medallion segments and love.

This review is from: Time Raiders: The Avenger (Time Raiders (Silhouette)) (Paperback)

The book was good but it reminded me too much of Cast's writings for her vampyre series the house of night....Too many things seemed similar to her time raiders book. Like the sapphire blue tattoo's marking the High priestesses and her druids and also the Goddess seemed alot more like her goddess in her novels as well. Also in the area where she has her characters soul shatter just like in the House of Night. As well as having her character refer to herself as getting all "snotty nosed and thats not attractive right now" is exactly the same wat Zoey is reffered to often in the House of Night. I just think that she should have changed it up a little bit instead of using the same material for a completely different book in different type of series.

While this was not my favorite time travel romance, it's up there. I liked how the main characters were so strong in spirit and their stories intertwined with celtic history and lore. I really enjoyed this book
