I was quite excited for this novel as the blurb had seemed to be something a bit darker and more intense than the standard paranormal YA read. Indeed when I was idly flipping through it the random passages what I came upon seemed to support this notion. The problems however became apparent when I began to actually read the book. Annaliese is...it's hard to say she's tough or timid without going into a draw

While doing research for her dissertation, graduate student Haley Fitzpatrick stumbles upon a strange artifact—which sends her back in time to old Scotland, directly into the path of the notorious Alasdair MacColla, a warrior known for his enormous physical presence and bloodthirsty reputation.

But unless she can find a way to change the past, the warrior she’s fallen for is destined to meet a tragic end…
