Editorial Reviews

Review

"A dark, twisty tale of love, lust, betrayal, and murder...this novel is not one to be missed." -Bustle on The Bourbon Thief

"I loved [Reisz's] Original Sinners series, and this book looks like an epic to delve into on a long, lazy afternoon. Her prose is quite beautiful, and she can weave a wonderful tight story." -New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Probst on The Bourbon Thief

"The Bourbon Thief isn't just good, it's exceptional. The story captured my imagination; the characters captured my heart." -Literati Literature Lovers

"Reisz fills the narrative with rich historic details; memorable, if vile, characters; and enough surprises to keep the plot moving and readers hooked until the final drop of bourbon is spilled." -Booklist on The Bourbon Thief

"Beautifully written and delightfully insane...Reisz vividly captures the American South with a brutal honestly that only enhances the dark material." -RT Book Reviews, Top Pick on The Bourbon Thief

"Impossible to stop reading." -Heroes and Heartbreakers on The Bourbon Thief

"The Bourbon Thief is the sort of book that knocks you off your feet, steals your sanity and keeps you up all night reading! Fair warning-this is definitely a nontraditional love story... Not for the faint of heart!" -RT Book Reviews

"Prepare yourself for soap-operatic level twists, and also to ignore everything else in your life as your race to the end of this eyebrow-raising tale." -RT Book Reviewson The Bourbon Thief

Faye awakens in the arms of the man she’s always loved and her new life begins

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Faye Barlow is woman who experienced a tragedy four years earlier. Since then, she hasn’t been able to recover until she finally decides to move forward no matter the consequences. With a fortuitous job offer, Faye travels to South Carolina to restore her passion for photography and to find herself again. Having always been told that she lives in the past, Faye didn’t expect time to actually beckon her.

Carrick Morgan, a naval officer by training, is a quiet, self-sufficient and honest man who is the lighthouse keeper on an isolated island in the 1920s. After one woman enters his life, he’s sure of his affection and will protect her with all he knows. According to local legend, she was unexpectedly torn from Carrick’s life, but what transpires changes the course of fate.

After becoming enraptured with an abandoned lighthouse, one night Faye decides to visit the deserted island and tour the lighthouse on her own. As she walks onto the decrepit pier, she sees a mysterious recurring symbol that distracts her from the waves trying to ensnare her into the sea. From that point, Faye awakens in the arms of the man she’s always loved and her new life begins.

As Faye realizes all isn’t what it seems, she acclimates to her new surroundings knowing that she really doesn’t have the incentive to leave. With her arrival, Carrick’s life alters due to time snapping back just enough for a redo; however, it feels so natural to Carrick as he sees the woman who is supposed to be with him. For Faye, putting together the pieces keeps her intrigued and also bound to Carrick in such delicious ways.

Faced with reality of her travel, Faye remembers the future and must decide where she wants to remain. Being true to Carrick is imperative, as he must know that the heart, mind and body of the woman he originally knew is completely Faye. Both must make a choice but one holds the key to change it all.

For me, Carrick was a standout character, as he is honorable and straight shooter. The romantic element encircling Carrick was interesting on many levels and I was interested to see how Faye processed all her feelings toward Carrick in order to only see him. With Faye, she definitely had some struggles, but traveling to a different time seemed to offer her the peace she desperately needed. It wasn’t just about abandoning her world but she embraced what she always valued and seized the second chance.

There is no doubt that Tiffany Reisz is an incredible storyteller and she effortlessly manages to convey the heart of her characters as she offers poignant moments of pause and introspection. In addition to Carrick, Faye and significant secondary characters, the history and symbolism of the lighthouse enhances the nostalgia and romanticism of the era.

The Night Mark offers a story about a second chance at love and also at living life to the fullest. While the romance and time travel aspects are slightly unconventional, the message is still clear. This book would appeal to those who wish to get swept away by fate.

Loved the premise, loved the writing but it dragged a little for me

The Night Mark by Tiffany Reisz
3 stars!!!

“That’s how you tell us apart in the dark. You see, a light’s night mark is its heartbeat. You know a man by his heart. You know a lighthouse by its beacon.”

Tiffany Reisz is one of my favourite authors so it pains me that I didn’t love this one as much as her others, whether they be the saucy, erotic reads of the Original Sinners series or the beautiful, engaging story telling of The Bourbon Thief. I desperately wanted to love this one, but for me, this was a book I started several times, yet just couldn’t get into and that was so frustrating.

““…I will love you and take care of you as long as you live, Faye”
“Don’t you mean as long as you live?”
He said no. He wasn’t interested in till death do us part. Even if he went first, he would find a way to take care of me. I treasure that vow. I hold it right here…But I’m still waiting for him to keep it.”

I loved the premise of the book, the writing as ever was perfection in its execution and the voice of Tiffany Reisz is one that I just find intoxicating and totally beguiling. Tiffany Reisz had obviously done her research and the snippets of history interspersed with this time travellers love story was fascinating. The chapters set in 1921 were a great flashback to the times and I clearly pictured Tiffany Reisz pouring over old cook books as she delivered the little details that really cemented the reader in the era in which she was writing. Lighthouse lore and history satiated my need for facts and history and for me, personally, it was the history lesson that kept me turning the pages.

“To think I spent my whole life believing time only went in one direction… Thought it was a river. Turns out it’s an ocean. Waves come in. Waves go out. Sometimes those waves take us with them.”

For me and I will probably be in the minority I had no character connection and anyone that knows me, knows that I need that for a book to work. I just felt that I knew too little about the characters to be able to empathise with them as individuals. Yes, I felt for Faye, after losing the love of her life, anyone would, but to understand her as a person, I felt bereft of information, I just needed a little more background. With regards to Carrick, again, no real pertinent background information, I had so many questions with regards to him, I would have loved a few chapters in his POV to maybe help understand the man behind the name.

“Whoever first said it was better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all had neither loved nor ever lost.”

I loved the side characters, Pat and Dolly, they both had their parts to play and I found myself enjoying scenes more when they were in them. I felt that the ending was rushed and rather confusing as so many loose ends and plot lines were frantically tied up. I did have a few issues with certain statements made that just didn’t add up and thought that inconsistencies like these would have been picked up in editing.

“This is me, Will…I’m just like this lighthouse. Still standing, still here. But I’m falling apart. The light’s off, and I don’t know how to turn it back on again.”

For those that loved Quantum Leap, this book definitely reminded me of that somewhat, albeit Faye had the ability to return to the same place at the same point in time. The logistics do not make sense but if you can open your mind and embrace the implausibility as miracle and magic then you won’t get too bogged down in the details. Once the book got going I did have the urge to finish and while for me it dragged in places I was focused on finding out how their story ended.

Love is timeless

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

Did you hear me shout wow? Did you? I was loud, but the wow came after a sob, then a wow, then another, bigger sob. It was all on the same page!

It really is no secret that I think Tiffany Reisz is the bee’s knees. I love her books and I don’t just mean the Original Sinners, although I do love them; I love her other books too. The Bourbon Thief. The Lucky Ones. The Godwicks.

I could read The Night Mark again and again and again and still find new things to marvel at. Parts to laugh at, to cry at, to be overjoyed at. So overjoyed.

I loved every character. Will. Faye. Faith. Carrick. Pat. Dolly - I adored Dolly, loved her, everything about her, she’s my spirit animal although I can’t sew, but I would have made Carrick climb every stair in the lighthouse to take me to the top but I think I can make a decent pie and decorate a room.

This book is so clever and so special. It’s a romantic’s dream. When you can love a person in this world and love them in another - it’s just beautiful. If you love the concept of time travel and destiny, please read this book. If you have sparkly red shoes that you like to wear because Wizard of Oz is the way to make you happy, please read this book. There’s no place like home.

Beautiful love story crossing different timelines

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I absolutely loved this book! I love this Author's work, and adored The Original Sinners series - a series, in my opinion which will never be equalled. However, The Night Mark is so totally different (although I'm sure I read a piece in there which was also in The Bourbon Thief?) it transcends from a loveless time into a timeless love. The transitions from one timeline to another are clunky to start for both reader and characters, but each transition becomes easier for both as the story gathers pace. So many twists and sub plots it doesn't finish until the final paragraph, just when you think you know where the story is going another sub-plot appears. This author has such an easy relaxed style of writing and yet she paints such a vivid picture without the overly verbose prose you find with many authors trying to achieve the same. You feel like you are in the moment with the characters and the characters are your friends.
The research is thorough adding more realism to the characters and different timelines. Possibly the best book I've read since The Queen (also by this author).

Enjoyable, time travel story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 12, 2018

(Audio Book Review)

I really enjoyed this story. When I read it was about time travel I must admit, I was almost put off reading it but the story and the author's writing made sure that my initial hesitancy was quickly quashed. I am also not a historical romance reader but again, travelling back to 1921 was done with ease and I even enjoyed the time the characters spent in this era perhaps more than present day.

Whilst known for her erotic works of fiction, the author stepped back from eroticism with this story and produced, in my eyes, a story that sold itself on its essence rather than it's sex appeal.

As always with Tiffany Reisz books, there is still a strong religious feel to the story, and a loveable Priest has been included.

Whilst the main characters (Faye/Carrick) were endearing, so were the side characters. Dolly, from 1921 was captivating as was Father Pat (in both his present day and 1921 form).

What I loved about this book was that I couldn't see where it was headed or what to expect next. Despite the travelling back and forth in time, each journey was not without its drama as Faye's life is re-written time and time again. By the end of the story, a balance has been struck and Faye is able to enjoy her HEA, the outcome of which was captured in time.

The Narrator, Teri Schnaubelt, really brought this book to life and made the story even more enjoyable.

A beautifully written historical romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

For fans of Diana Gabaldon and Barbara Erskine you are going to love this book. I don't think Tiffany Reisz could write a bad book if she tried.

This is different to anything she's written in the past; the book flits between 2015 and 1921. Faye is swept out to sea and wakes to find she has travelled back 94 years in time. She finds herself in the body of Faith Morgan a 20 year old who has troubles of her own. The book is a beautifully written historical romance in the usual Tiffany Reisz style. The passion between Faye / Faith and Carrick Morgan - sailor now turned lighthouse keeper is evident. But being 1921 situations are a lot less acceptable and they have to keep their attraction to each other on the down low.

Told from a third person POV; the book is steady paced and progressive as each of the characters deal with situations from their present and the future. I was slightly disappointed as I was always waiting for the usual Tiffany Reisz taboo topic to reveal itself but it never came. All that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the story as it took me right back to where my love of reading started with the Lady of Hay and Cross Stitch.

A rare genuine five stars read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's very rare for me to give a book five stars, so that shows how much I enjoyed The Night Mark. It was imaginative and different while still managing to be plausible, and descriptive without going into too many boring details. It was also sweetly romantic but without any depth raunch, which I didn't miss at all, thanks to the strength of the writing. There were some surprising typos - Gregory Pack instead of Gregory Peck for example - but that didn't distract me too much. Also, although I understand the relevance of the title now I've read the book, I don't think it does the book justice - it wouldn't have drawn me in if it hadn't been rated by a blogger I trust.
All in all, a highly recommended read by Tiffany Reisz.
