Seventeen-year-old witch Desiree Campbell tries to cast a spell to go to Miami for spring break.

But she ends up in Cuba a hundred years in the past.

The year is 1898. The Spanish-American War rages. Demons thrive in the city, preying on humans. Desi is caught between the war of mortals and the war of monsters.

She meets Oliver Gerrick, a handsome American soldier and warlock. He offers to help her fight off demons and find a way home.

OML... Oh my Lilith....this book was fantastic! I love a good urban fantasy type book. And this was more than good. When I first started listening to the audiobook, I was a little concerned because it originally came off kind of kiddy. But it totally wasn't. I can't wait to see what happens next. The narrator also did a spectacular job. I can't wait for more!

excellent read

great book a must read for a any adult that loves fantasy and romance can't wait to get the next book in the searies

Amazing time travel story

This is one amazing story crafted by the author and brought to life by one amazing narrator it keeps you hooked until the very end and I can’t wait for the next book

Enjoyable listen

This book has well written characters and a great storyline. Lots going on from magic and demons to time travel. The narrator does an amazing job at drawing you into to story. I am looking forward to book 2.

Good Supernatural Time Travel

Overall I liked this story and how the author mixed history and the paranormal. I like how magic is used and portrayed and the world building was on point. It took me a bit to like Desi - honestly she annoyed me so bad for awhile I almost stopped but I am glad I stuck with it becasue she grew on me. The narrator did a fabulous job bringing the story and characters to life.

great paranormal read

I received this book for free for a honest review. The storyline was well written and the characters were brought to life. Absolute page turner! The narrator did good. recommend

Great start to new series by promising new author!

I chose this book because I enjoy the narrator in other books. It looks like this may be author R.L. Perez's first novel. I have to say, I'm very impressed!

Dezi is a witch, reluctant to embrace her culture, heritage, and the burden of power. The loss of her parents in the line of duty has understandably soured her against witchcraft. So she sets out to escape her destiny, inadvertently propelling herself back in time. To Cuba, and the chaos of the Spanish American War, where she has no choice but to embrace her destiny, train her powers, and help fight a demon lord who is targeting witches and warlocks to siphon-off their powers.

I really enjoyed this story. I've only started listening to YA titles recently, so I could be wrong, but I found this story delightfully unique. Dezi is a complicated and at times frustrating heroine. You want to shake her at times, when she is hard on Oliver (her champion and potential love interest). But she is young and has a traumatic past, so it's understandable. But it's great to see her rise to the challenges and tasks at hand. I look forward to seeing how her character grows as the series progresses.

As usual, Rebecca Winder does a great job bringing a large cast of characters to life, and delivering an engaging performance. I don't speak Spanish, but she seemed to rattle-off a good amount of it very well!

I definitely recommend this author and this audiobook.

Twisted by Time

This story has an interesting world and characters that draw you in as they face their battles.

The narration was good and easy to follow

Easy listen, tame romance

This is the first book I have read/listened to by this author and I’d like to listen to more in this series. It is a very easy, uncomplicated listen. The magic is a little unique in that the witches talents are in one of four areas of ability. I did kind of roll my eyes a bit at the typical cauldron ingredients like bat guano, mandrake root, pigs feet, eyes of newts. Magical spells are rhymes. I liked the explanation of the demons being werewolves, vampires, etc that were witches turned to black magic. Desi was traumatized by the death of her parents and no longer wishes to be a part of the witch community. She just wants to live a non magical life. In a spell gone wrong she finds herself in 1898. As she adapts to her surroundings and meets more people of that time, she learns her arrival there is not totally an accident. I liked the connections between the present and past. I’m curious where this series will go.——-
This is the first book I have listened to by this narrator ( Rebecca Winder ) and I would like to listen to another. She has a style I enjoyed. She performs rather than just reads the book. The voices she’s chosen for each character works well and I was drawn into the story by her narration. ——-

There are no explicit sex scenes, or described violence, or swearing. So far, the romance side of the book is extremely tame and more of just an acknowledgment of attraction. ——-

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Twisted by Time

this book was really good. so much drama, I really don't know how to feel about the main character, I have mix feelings there are times when I like her and times when she got on my nerves, but all in all I really enjoyed the book, oh that plot twist with Oliver holy shit I was not expecting him to kinda betrayal her. . the narrator did a good job too can't wait to start the next book.
