Kiya’s constant references to Freudian concepts of id, ego and superego (as taught to her by her psychologist foster mom) seem outdated and flaky. The author might also want to consider modern psychology. However, given that the term “Traveller” refers to several distinct ethnic groups, some related to Roma and some not, she does not entirely succeed in that aim. MacAlister (A Tale of Two Vampires, 2012, etc.) tries to sidestep issues of race by explaining that the Travellers, although frequently mistaken for Roma, are quite a different people therefore, it’s OK to accuse them of being nonhuman magical thieves. Peter is tracking the murderer, but he finds himself distracted by the beautiful Kiya, and before the two of them know it, ridiculous misunderstandings and silly quarrels turn to clunky sexual banter, clumsily written intercourse and undying devotion, all within the course of four days. Enter Peter Moore Faa, an estranged member of the clan and an officer in the Watch, a kind of magical police detective. And at least one of the Travellers is using that ability to kill. The Travellers are a reclusive people with the ability to steal time from others and use it to maintain their youth and power. Offensively spunky and incredibly broke Kiya Mortensen eagerly accepts an offer to care for the five pugs belonging to Lenore Faa, the matriarch of a Traveller encampment in the Oregon woods. And he's not going to let secrets, lies, or a devious murderer keep Kiya from where she belongs: at his side.A paper-thin plot and unconvincing romance kick off what will no doubt be a best-selling paranormal series. While she may drive him crazy at times, it's clear that it's not just lightning that's creating some serious sparks between them. When Peter discovers his own family is stealing time from Kiya, all bets are off. If only she didn't keep having this strange sense of deja vu. It doesn't hurt that the job comes with some spectacular male eye candy, including her new boss's gorgeous grandson. And if that means taking a job as nanny to five pugs on a campsite in the Oregon wilderness, then so be it. After surviving a lightning strike, Kiya Mortenson is determined to get just one thing in her life right.
Any of his cousins could be guilty, but which one? They're all experts in the art of stealing time. Peter Faa is a member of the Watch tracking down a murderer, and unfortunately, all clues seem to point toward his own estranged family of Travellers. FIRST IN A NEW SERIES FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DARK ONES NOVELS! Outcast due to their ability to manipulate time, shunned by the mortal and immortal worlds alike, a Traveller's life is anything but easy.
