Review
The Wood behind Winter's house has always dictated her father's life and now with his disappearance it dictates hers. The Wood is a portal for time travelers and Winter's ancestors are the secret protectors or guardians of the wood. Her required task, which she is physically not able to deny to the determent of her school assignments, of assisting lost travelers to their current portal is becoming difficult because the wood has been poisoned and the sinister darkness is becoming life-threatening, even to those who cannot see the magical areas of the wood. Winter finds herself challenged and at the same time attracted to Henry, a time traveler from eighteenth century England. He knows too much, takes too many risks and distracts Winter with his charming ways. Fans of time travel, suspense and fantasy will enjoy this dark and creative tale.
Overall Book Score: very good
