A Witch in Time

De: Constance Sayers

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson, Claire Christie, Brittany Wilkerson, Stephanie Willis

A witch is cursed to relive a doomed love affair through many lifetimes, as both troubled muse and frustrated artist, in this haunting debut novel.

Helen Lambert has lived several lives-a young piano virtuoso in 1890s Paris, an actress in 1930's Hollywood, a rock star in 1970s Los Angeles -- only she doesn't know it. Until she meets a strange man who claims he's watched over her for centuries, bound to her from the beginning.

At first, Helen doesn't believe him. Her life is as normal as any other modern career woman's. Then she begins having vivid dreams about ill-fated love and lives cut short.

Caught in a curse, Helen will be forced to relive the same tragic events that ruined her previous lives. But with each rebirth, she's developed uncanny powers. And as the most powerful version of herself, Helen must find a way to break the curse before her time runs out.

A Witch in Time is a bewitching tale of passion, reincarnation, and magic perfect for fans of A Secret History of Witches and Outlander.

Ground hog day meets the time traveller

This is a very different story about a woman who is reincarnated based on a curse her mother placed on her. Without providing any spoilers - This is a journey of each of her lives and how she pieces together the mysteries in order to survive.

It's interesting, different but you must pay attention in order to follow who is which character....and by saying that it doesn't reflect the narration, but the journey in reincarnation. I found the story dragged at times, but enjoyed the story.

A must read/listen

Loved this book. I often get board with predictable writings. This book was so good I didn't want to kiss any of it. it kept my attention to the very end. well done.

Absolutely Enthralling

I loved every aspect of this book. It’s a very different Witch story. It’s kind of like The Time Traveler’s Wife, Outlander and A Discovery of Witches all rolled into one. I loved the details of time periods and the how each life was so different, yet the same. It makes you wonder if we really are born again and all aspects of our personality is determined by those experiences. It was a wonderful twist regarding the love story. I’m glad they clarified the mother’s version because you keep wondering why she would have gone to such great lengths to do what she did. It all makes sense once you understand. The only part I longed for more explanation was where did Luke come from. I almost wondered if she was a part of his past where he had done something to wrong her and this was his punishment to earn her back. I think a second book about his life would be fascinating. I highly recommend reading this. I’m saddened that I just finished it.

Excellent!

One of the most original stories I’ve ever listened to in my 18 years of listening to audio books. Brilliant and captivating that made me want to know more about the main characters. Will not disappoint!

Easy listen

Enjoyed the story line. Good for a long drive. I’ll try another one. That’s it.
