Time's Dagger by Margot Hovley, Blog Tour & Giveaway!

 

Book Summary:

After a rough stint at work in the ER, Dillon Kelly is more than a little ready for a vacation when he packs his bags and sets off on a camping trip in the wilds of Ireland. But when a mysterious dagger covered in druidic markings appears in his backpack, Dillon finds himself hurtled into the fourteenth century. Thrust into the legends and politics of ancient Ireland, he is rescued from suspicious locals by a beautiful young woman named Ailish.

Ailish has always dreamed of being a bard, but there’s just one problem: women aren’t allowed. Determined to follow her heart, Ailish has fooled everyone into thinking she’s a boy—everyone, that is, except for Dillon. He’s agreed to keep her secret in exchange for her help in finding his way home to his own time. Despite the impossible barriers between them, feelings beyond friendship soon blossom. But more than just their budding romance is in danger. Ailish isn’t the only one who recognizes the dagger’s druidic significance, and there are those who would stop at nothing to harness its time-bending powers.

My Review:

Time’s Dagger is a fantastically written time travel novel! Hovley hooks the reader right away and I felt like I was there with Dillon watching his journey to Ireland unfold. I loved Ailish and watching the interaction between them both. It was so cool to see 21st century technology and ideas get dropped into medieval Ireland. To experience it all through not only Dillon’s eyes was like watching a masterfully done film. Having Ailish’s perspective rounded out the story and helped me to understand both medieval and modern eyes. Hovley definitely threw a curve ball and you had better hold on to your hat while you take this thrilling ride! Find a cozy spot and settle in because you will not want to stop reading until the very end! I received a copy of this book for free, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
