Believe you me, had he had a child, he would in no way act like their grandfather. Not to mention Harrison himself made a big deal out of being thirty-nine and seemingly too old to be a father. So perhaps I’m overreacting to a pet peeve, but you’ve got to admit that characters who don’t act their age (or act like they are mature as their circumstances would make them seem) are unrealistic, therefore unbelievable, therefore difficult to connect with. I love older heroes (and Harrison wasn’t all that old), but when they differ none from the kid who’s half their age, it’s basically pointless. And when I’m promised a refined, wise older Englishman, I find that sorely disappointing. My point is that for all his aristocratic airs, age, and intelligence, not to mention his years spent as a paralytic, he simply acted like a brash young American. A twenty-year-old kid from 1930, yes-which honestly shouldn’t be much different from a forty-year-old man in the 2020s. What rankled me the most, though, was that he didn’t act at all like a nearly forty-year-old man.

He seemed a bit forward, a tad immature, and perhaps a teensy smidge out of place. Harrison, on the other hand, I loved in the first book.but in here, I feel like he lacked his novelty. She had more going for her than Marian, I reckon, but I could never get a read on her personality or her true character, so she just never really clicked for me. Unfortunately, I never did establish a connection with Ellen. I really appreciate that, and, for the most part, I think Hedlund managed the transition from Come Back to Me into this book quite well. Never Leave Me picks up right where Come Back to Me leaves off, following suit in many ways-such as not quite reaching its full potential.Įllen and Harrison I believe had much deeper development and characterization than Marian and Will in the previous book-in part because of the fact we’d already gotten to know them, to a degree, in the first book.

Will she be able to return to the future and reveal the enemy’s evil plot in time to save herself and her friends? Synopsis: When Ellen Creighton witnesses-and experiences-the supernatural healing power of the ancient water, she finds herself in the realm of business espionage and intrigue.and in the 14th century.

Which may mean some spoilers, so watch out. #2 When I read a review, I want substantial information. #1 This is a long review, so pull up a chair and grab a bowl of popcorn.
