I love a well executed time travel story and find pirates an endlessly fascinating topic, so this premise was bound to appeal to me. However... ugh, this whole thing was just a mess. The author tried to shove so many elements into it (time travel, pirates, hidden treasure, cringy instalove romance, templars, greek gods - I beg you, make it stop!) that the whole plot just felt halfbaked. Every time one of the pirate characters opened his mouth, the most cliché dialogue imaginable tumbled out - th...

For real, what did I just read?Since the beginning, this book was a complete mess. In between the pirates, romance, time travel, templars, greek gods, betrayal, etc... I really didn't felt like I read any story at all. I got the sensation that after 365 pages I still wasn't understanding anything. First, we are in the present then we time-traveled to the past, some months later we are over there and some other months later we are back to where we began. And I know some action happened in between...

I'm rating this a five for a few reasons. It was very difficult for me to feel hooked at the beginning of this book, but once things picked up, I was....swept away. Tristan? Swoon. More love interests like this, please and thank you. Wonderful relationship dynamic and development, as well as a fast-paced plot that kept me reading until far past when I should have been sleeping on more than one occasion. I won't soon be forgetting this one, though the ending really snuck up on me -- I wasn't expe...

Great read

Really liked this story !! It had murder mystery romance ! And some time travel which I love !! I would suggest to read!!!

I didn't care for this time-travel/treasure hunt/love story/pirate adventure. It had some interesting elements but it all just didn't gel. The Samantha and Tristan love story was unconvincing, and honestly Samantha was an annoying character. Many of the scenes of pirate battles were quite violent and gory. There was a lot of talk about a booby-trapped treasure pit at Oak Island that didn't make much sense to me; plus the Knights Templar figured heavily in the story. My brain just seizes up when ...

This book is overwhelming.Solomon tries to do a lot. Very little ends up done well. Time travel, pirates, knights Templar, treasure, Greek gods... And that's in addition to all the backstory and romance. Oh and of course there's more than one villain. The story is good, though at times Sam is TSTL. This book probably wins the award for "most people to know the heroine has time traveled" because whoa boy did a lot of people end up knowing. I did appreciate her cursing her English major and wishin...

Never have I read (or tried reading, to be more precise) a book that said so little on so many pages. No matter what was said, it was glossed over without any depth or substance. It felt as if the writer did no research whatsoever about the time she wrote about; none of the characters found Sam's weird language or expressions mysterious. On the contrary, the understood it all. Let me put it in words;Sam: I'm just you regular next door girl, I'm not phased by all these cultural differences, you u...

Pirates? Yes. Time traveling? Yes. The beginning was painfully slow, I slightly had to force myself to get over it. I understand that the author had to show us the backstory of Samantha, but she could have skipped some parts. It would make sense even without them. The protagonist, Samantha Greene, after her mother's death, travels to meet and later on help her treasure hunter father explore the Treasure Pit on Oak Isle. In the process, she travels back in time to the 17th century. She ends up on...

The protagonist, Samantha Greene, helps her father excavate the Treasure Pit on Oak Isle, and, in the process, travels back in time to the 17th century. She finds herself rescued/abducted by pirates, disguised as a man to be part of the pirate crew, and, finally, engaged in a mission to protect Templar secrets. Along the way, she meets, and falls in love with, pirate Tristan O'Rourke. Does she stay in the past to be with him or travel back to her present to the life, and time, she knows? I reall...

When I saw the description indicating that this book was described as a cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Outlander, I was in! And what a fun ride it was!The story opens in modern times with Samantha on her way to meet her estranged treasure hunter father after her mom's death. Although she doesn't quite believe in his work, she finds herself getting caught up in the excitement and eventually joining the hunt too. When a rival treasure seeker pulls out all the stops to try to take over ...
