Description
The number one best-selling thriller Stealing Time continues its “breathtakingly original” journey.
Ronnie Andrews returns from eighteenth century London shell-shocked from her first terrifying time travel encounter. Her boyfriend, Jeffrey Brennan, casts doubt on her sanity leaving Ronnie wondering if she went back in time or is having a mental breakdown.
To add to the tension, Hurricane Francis, a storm the size of Texas, is barreling towards Florida and her fears of a repeat time travel experience mount. Ronnie’s best friend Steph, along with her friend Nick and Steph’s younger brother Ian, shield Ronnie from the dangers of Francis but cannot save her from traveling back in time. Unfortunately, their meddling brings Ronnie to the brink of destruction as they are caught in the throes of the hurricane’s wrath.
Once again, Ronnie is transported to dangerous places and plagued with desperate situations, while experiencing perilous cultures including one of America’s first mysteries -- the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island.
A stunning conclusion brings Ronnie face to face with a dangerous ally who may hold the key to her past while offering salvation for her future.
Advance Praise
She adroitly weaves superb development of lively, earthy characters into her suspenseful new novel, keeping the tension intense, and calling forth every emotion imaginable. Moreover, it is apparent that she invested many hours of research and discussion with historical experts to make the reader’s journey authentic.
Although the experience will be enriched by reading her prior works, Shattering Time stands on its own, giving an excellent backdrop to catch readers up to speed on what happened in her first novel.
While reading the first book, I fell in love with Ronnie, the young woman who is the main character. She is the friend every woman wants and the girlfriend every man desires. You will feel great empathy for her as she becomes the unwitting victim of the boyfriend she trusts, and for her having to endure horrific mistreatment and tragic misfortune in her time travels.
Her friends are the only thing keeping her sanity, although their help is at times ineffective, causing unintended consequences amidst a monster Hurricane Frances. They cannot prevent her from being thrust again into the past or her life hanging in the balance as she is dropped into the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island.
As a Floridian who has seen the complete devastation that hurricanes bring to lives and property, forever changing the landscape, I deeply appreciate KJ Water’s mastery of the subject and her gift of capably pulling the reader into the heart of the storm, the perfect metaphor for the life of Ronnie.

Jeffery Brennan has sent Ronnie Anderson into 18th century London and thinks hie experiment was very successful though Ronnie can't figure out what happened. He has given her something so she can't quite remember after she returned. Now he is telling her she needs help, her minds is not good. In the mean time he is working on Hannah to propel another hurricane their way. Ronnie wants to go to her mother's before it starts but can't get away in time. She asks Stephanie, Nick and Steph's brother, Ian to stay with her through this one. Jeffery is not happy with that. He had other plans which he will now have trouble putting into motion and all because Ronnie has ruined his plans. Can he still make her time travel happen?

Before I delved into Shattering Time, I read the first in this series-Stealing Time. The author does an excellent job of summarizing the back story in the second novel but I feel that reading the first novel really increased my appreciation of the second. Ronnie Andrews is an immensely likable heroine and following her adventures and exploring her relationships makes for a great read. The book is part science fiction, part mystery and part fantasy and the three blend extremely well. I am anxiously awaiting book #3 in this series.
