Review: Master of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff

Gwen's review of Master of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff
Timetravel romance released by Berkley Sensation 5 Feb 08

I like a good historical.  I like a good paranormal.  Mix them together and I'm a pretty happy little camper.  Timetravels generally give me the best of both worlds.  When timetravel is done well (such as K.M.Moning's Beyond the Highland Mist, still my fave), it's pure escapist entertainment that a reader can lose themselves in.  When it's done poorly, it's painful to read and stretches suspension of disbelief - a critical element with timetravels - beyond its tensile strength.  This book falls somewhere between the two extremes.

[Side note:  The author's site is very pretty - takes a bit to load and uses Flash, but very pretty pictures.  Warning - the site plays music, but at least you can toggle it off.]
