Review: The Reckoning by MaryLu Tyndall



About the book:
When Morgan Shaw crept into the hold of an old pirate ship replica at San Diego’s Annual Tall Ship Festival, her only intention was to avoid the guy who had just dumped her and who was now boarding the ship with two women on his arm. What she didn’t expect was to wake up aboard a real pirate ship three-hundred years in the past. But of course, it wasn’t real. Her wealthy father had obviously staged it all in an effort to get her mind off her upcoming chemo. Or had he?

Pirate Rowan Dutton seeks enough treasure to repay a debt to his sister and reinstate the Dutton name among British Jamaican Society. He is but one major haul away from accomplishing his goal when a strange woman appears on his ship and causes him to lose his prey. Despite his anger, he is enthralled with the little minx, her strange clothing, odd speech, and her insistence that they are all actors playing a charade paid for by her father.

Yet when the brazen little lady divulges Rowan’s secret to a longtime nemesis, events are triggered that could cost them both their lives and change the course of history forever.

My thoughts:


After hearing great things about this book and finishing book one (which had a crazy ending - in a good way), I was looking forward to reading "The Locket" very much. While I really liked "Yesterday", I enjoyed this one even more! Not only did I already know the characters and the beginning to Hannah's story (which made getting into the book very easy), but there were also some shocking developments to the story!

I thought it was very interesting what Hannah realized towards the end...though I have to say, trying to figure out the whole time travel conundrum was mind boggling! I was pretty happy when I guessed one thing correctly about the story - after being flabbergasted by several plot elements, it was nice that I was able to figure out one thing before Hannah. ;)

The ending was good. I'm curious about where the story goes from here and hope I'll have the chance to read book three in the near future. I recommend "The Locket" if you enjoy time travel novels...I enjoyed it a lot! :)

My thoughts:

I haven't read a lot of time travel novels and I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of the genre (even though I've really enjoyed most of the ones I've read!). As with fantasy, when I read one of these types of novels, I try to enter with the mindset that there will probably be some unbelievable aspects, and that's what I did with this book.

Yesterday was really good. I found the story fascinating and it kept me turning pages. The time travel aspect to the story was very intriguing and definitely made the book distinct from other books I've read.

The characters were good. I liked Hannah - the little quirks she had (like her phobia of driving and riding in a car, her dislike of surprises, etc.) made her seem more real. At times, the writing wasn't that polished, but it was still pretty good.

Overall, I really enjoyed Yesterday! It was an interesting and quick read. The ending left me wanting to read "The Locket" (book two) very much. I recommend Yesterday to fans of these types of stories.
