Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd welcomes you to Gothic, California—the mysterious village with a foggy history…

WELCOME TO THE PAST

At the glittering heart of Hollywood’s golden era stands the regal Gothic Palace Theater—the pinnacle of thrilling shows, opulent décor, and the biggest stars of stage and screen. Here, drama unfolds on and off the stage.

WELCOME TO THE PRESENT

Today, in the abandoned backstage, fitness guru Wendy Giordano is knocked unconscious and wakes to find herself performing a daredevil stunt in the Gothic Palace Theater…in glamorous 1940.

WELCOME TO GOTHIC

Wendy is swept into the hypnotic bygone world of desperate gamblers, powerful divas and one tormented actor who might be her ideal man. Can she save a child and stop a murder before time once more sweeps her away from all she has come to love?

Surprisingly Good!!

I was not expecting much for one of Audible' s Daily Deal books, but I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed the storyline and the narrator did a good job! I am looking forward to the next book in this series!

Sweet for what it is!

A quick easy listen, helps lift the mood. I’m glad I did not spend a whole credit on it though. I got this at a deep discount.

This was a brief story, but the perfect introduction to this new series. Loved all the characters and the time travel. Good story with excellent narration.

Sweet, but formulaic

You can definitely tell this book was first published by Harlequin. Short and sweet, following most of their books. It's definitely not worth a credit.

Loved it

Loved it. Always enjoy a book that has mystery and makes us think that everything is going too go wrong but turns out great.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

Yes, it’s a little cheesy. No, there’s no strong romance. It’s just a cute little story that is refreshing in between some longer stories I am “reading.” I’m sure I’ve heard this narrator before, and I like her. She has good timing and different voices for the characters. I am looking into more from this author because this story was worth my time.
