Spirit in Time

 Time is not on her side

Spirit in Time: Book 3 in the Spirited Quest series, a February 2021 release out of the Wild Rose Press, written by Julie Howard as part of the Fantasy Rose line.

 Time travel isn’t real. It can’t be real. But ghost-blogger Jillian Winchester discovers otherwise when an enigmatic spirit conveys her to 1872 to do his bidding. Jillian finds herself employed as a maid in Sacramento, in an elegant mansion with a famous painting.

The artwork reveals another mystery: Why does the man within look exactly like her boyfriend, Mason Chandler? Morality and sin live side by side, not only in the picture, but also within her. As her transgressions escalate, she races the clock to find the man in the painting, and hunt down a spirit with a disconcerting gift.

 Our Review:  Once again, Julie Howard takes the reader on a wild ride with protagonist Jillian Winchester as she hunts out spirits in need, helping them in their quest for resolution or closure—whatever their needs might be. This time we travel back in time to Sacramento.  One of Howard’s gifts—or talents if you will—is her attention to historic detail whether it be architecture and background of the city of Sacramento, the mores and customs of late nineteenth century, or the plight of immigrant Asian populations. A delightful read and even more, a terrific addition to this most original series.

 On a scale of 1-5, Spirit in Time deserves a 6.
