Customer Reviews

Amazing story

I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book since I always see Elaine Bergstrom as a horror/vampire writer, but I should have known anything with her name attached to it would be wonderful. It was amazing how quickly the story drew me in and I couldn't put the book down. The authors research is wonderful and the story with keep your attention. For anyone who hasn't read Bergstrom's vampire stories because it's just not their cup of tea, this book may make you change your mind.

Cool Story

Very Cool Story. Lots of fun , I think anyone who likes time travel story's will be happy with this book. It isn't exact about the time line of one of the char's , but it is very well told (i'm not to big on Mr. Crowley history anyway). Expext a good story and alot of thinking (about what you would do)when you get this one , I expect a movie from it..

couldn't put it down!

This book is unlike any other book I have ever read! It tells the story of a woman, who inherits her great grandmother's appartment, and finds out there is a door in there which leads 72 years into the past. Contrary to other time travel books, the travel itself isn't what the book focuses on - the "technical" aspects of time travel. Neither does it focus on historial facts (like other time travel books). Instead, it focuses on some historical figures, such as the famous Aleister Crowley, and on magick ("real" magic). Overall, this is a fantasy novel, with a lot of romance in it, but written in a very unique manner. I simply could not put it down! I recommend it to anyone who has an interest (or at least, isn't upset) by reading about magical rituals, likes time travel books - and has a romantic heart ;-)

You won't put it down until you've finished!!!

I've always been fascinated by time-travelling and I guess that's why I bought this book to begin with. And I was not disappointed!! This is a great story with lots of magic and mystery spiced with love to make it just perfect. If you still haven't read it....start now!!!!

This book really stays with you long after you've read it!

I found the storyline incredibly fascinating and fresh. Time travel has of course been written about but not in this manner. You really felt like you have become one the characters. The concept of a door in Grandmum's house, made during the 1920's is great. It makes you realize that people in the first part of this century were just as naughty as today! This book has little bit of everything in it - magick, romance, intrigue and suspense. I loved it! The book has also opened a real door through time, for now I want to read Aleister Crowley's books as well! Wonderful book, please write many more!
