If you can stick out this book for the first 10 or so chapters you will be rewarded with much more than you ever expected! If I had to sum up Deborah Lawrenson's book up in a few words I choose sweeping, dramatic, unexpected, & descriptive to the point of being lyrical.
  This book intwines the epic history of the crumbling hamlet called Les Genevriers and the Lincel family with the present inhabitants, Dom and Eve. The characters are well developed and very simply human at the same time. The writing is engrossing and leaves you guessing until the conluding chapters offer you a simple, reasonable explanation that still manages to be tinted with a bit of intrigue and mystery.

Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the eighteenth century. Over two hundred years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself.

And with tradition enforcing separation from Marcus, Phoebe's transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire.

Time's Convert moves with epic sweep from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution to a bloody finale in New Orleans.


This is one of my favourite books as it follows on from one of my favourite series The All Souls Trilogy!
