Review: Never Leave Me

Never Leave Me by Jody Hedlund
My rating: 💛💛💛
Rating 3.5

I was highly anticipating this second story after loving book one, Come back to me. And the cover is stunning - it just screamed ‘Read Me’.

I loved being in the Medievel Times - I enjoyed the Knights, the danger and just they way they spoke and interacted. The Modern Day time line was also interesting, I just felt the pace was a bit slower.

I loved Nicholas and secretly hoping for a book 3 with him. The villains, both in the past and current times were creepy and self-seeking, which made the heroes more dashing.

Though I enjoyed this story and the love story as well, I did love book one a bit more.

About the book:

In the last stages of a genetic disease, Ellen Creighton has decided to live out her remaining days at the estate of her longtime friend Harrison Burlington. Harrison cares deeply for Ellen, but as a wheelchair-bound paraplegic, he's never allowed himself to get serious in a relationship. However, he's desperately trying to save her by finding the holy water that is believed to heal any disease.

When he locates two flasks, Ellen refuses to drink one of them because she believes the holy water killed her sister and father. In an effort to convince her to take it, Harrison ingests the contents first, and when Ellen witnesses the effects, she can no longer deny the power of the substance in the bottles. Dangerous criminals are also seeking the holy water, and Ellen soon learns they will go to any lengths to get the powerful drug--including sending her back into the past to find it for them.

Bestselling and award-winning author Jody Hedlund plunges you into the swiftly flowing river of history in a race against the clock in this breathtaking, emotional second Waters of Time story.
