*Finding the Truth*
This is part two of two so far in the Timeslider Series. Although it was a good read, I must say that I enjoyed book one, Shadows in the Moonlight, just a bit more.
In this instalment, Pixie Tate embarks on a journey to New York. Despite her hatred for flying, she has no choice in her mind as the alternative is to face her mother and their estranged relationship.
The reason for Pixie’s trip is the Aldershoff Hotel in Manhattan. This hotel was once the former home of Miss Aldershoff, she is a woman in her late 90’s nearly who is still a formidable and unpleasant character. The Aldershoff family, known for their materialism and love of spending, had lost all their wealth, leading to the sale of their home and its transformation into this beautiful hotel. The owner has preserved many of its original features.
Miss Aldershoff prances around the hotel as if she owns it. She knows that her family owns a precious stone, which would have been passed down to her if she had been born a boy. Her father hid the stone, and she finds the key. Determined to find it, she decides to hold a seance, which unleashes a spirit that wreaks havoc in the hotel room. She is unrepentant.
This is where Pixie comes in. She is a time slider, and she is transported to the Titanic. When she time slides in the present, it could be hours, but in the past, it equates to days. Pixie must be mindful of the law of attraction and avoid changing things in the past, as even the slightest alteration could have a profound impact.
During her time in the past, Pixie crosses paths with someone she is in love with from the past. When she time slides, she inhabits the body of someone else. Will this person see past her new appearance? Will she find the precious gem? What secrets will be discovered?
There are some touching scenes and moments, but
Overall, it’s a good read, but I’m curious to see what happens in book three as I gather that this is a trilogy.
