I received an ARC copy from RABT Book Tours for my honest review, so thank you RABT, Author, and Publishers for offering me this book! I was drawn to this book with its excerpt, the mystery took me in. This is my first series by Margarita Morris and I really enjoyed reading this novel...Fast-paced, and hard to put down.
Scarborough Fair goes back and forth between 2016 and 1899. Rose is on vacation at her Grandmother's house in Scarborough. There she meets Dan and like any teenagers get into trouble but unlike them, they find way more trouble than they want. Rose gets a scrapbook and letters that her great - great - grandmother wrote back in 1899 and a woman she works with disappears. The juxtaposition of Victorian and modern England in the same city is truly enjoyable.
Scarborough Ball picks up where the previous story finished, so there is no let-up in the pace.
Rose and dan's adventures are fascinating and Rose's great-grandmother Lilian's storyline brings glamor to the storyline. *I was so excited for the third installment that I started reading it at 1:30 a.m.*
Believe me when I say the last installment Scarborough Rock is the best one in the trilogy. Here we are treated to some more intriguing issues, the plot is a little twisted, heart paces a little faster. When the only simple looking solution brings more issues... but traveling through time is no joke and every action has consequences...Rose and Dan are on a thrilling ride and so was I.
The author has well drawn the atmosphere, the timelines are quite enjoyable, characters sometimes feel packed up but they are so vividly put in their parts, that they totally belong. All in all, the mystery, the alternating timelines, time-traveling, the touch of History, completely made it a well written pacey read and I recommend it to all my friends.
