This is a documentary about identical twin brothers Alex and Marcus. Alex had an accident and completely lost his memory, and only recognised Marcus. Marcus helped Alex with his lost memories, unfortunately many of these memories were false and the lies were kept up for years. It may sound like a huge betrayal but when you watch you will understand why. Without spoiling it i went through many emotions, happy at first but as the story progressed i felt shocked and even angry at Marcus but by the end i just felt sad. It's worth a watch but prepare for the emotional rollercoaster.

Times Convert
By Deborah Harkness
Reread
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!

Merissa (11666 KP) rated Her Guardian Angel (Her Angel: Eternal Warriors #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
Marcus wants to be a warrior angel, protecting heaven. Instead, he is a guardian angel with cursed wings, overseeing his charge on Earth. Nothing could be further from what he wants. Amelia is his charge and has really bad taste in men. He has a flat near hers so that he can keep an eye on her although he's not entirely sure why. Things are not as they seem though and things soon hot up, both between Amelia and Marcus AND heaven and hell.
What they discover will challenge Marcus' beliefs in heaven and who and what Amelia thought she was. Luckily for them, there are 3 sets of Marcus' friends who are more than willing to help them.
I have to say, for me, I didn't really warm up to Amelia although I did have tears in my eyes at one point, but I think that was more for Marcus' reaction than what had happened to her. Marcus, I loved. I loved his reactions to the situations, how he felt, and even his rage. Amelia, meh, she's... okay, I just couldn't 'gel' with her. The story itself I thought was wonderful, still part of the series but can be read as a standalone. Looking forward to Her Demonic Angel, which is the next in this series

This vicious ghost is about to end Worthes experiment once and for all By killing Marcus Holt.
I have read every single one of Ron Ripley's books and I love them all!!
I would definitely recommend these books to anybody who loves horror; these books are the ones for you.
I'm hoping there will be one more to give some closure to this one.
I get so involved with the characters that the ghosts are expected. I can't get enough!
The plot and pace are perfectly tuned.
Definitely recommend reading!
