A Stitch in Time follows Bronwyn as she returns to her aunt’s house in Yorkshire where she used to spend time when she was growing up. As a child, Bronwyn would travel through the timeslip in her room to Victorian era where she befriended William Thorne. After her uncle’s tragic death Bronwyn never returned to the house and believed William to be a product of her imagination. As an adult, Bronwyn is discovering that the ghosts she saw and the friend she made are very real.

This book is a mixed bag of genres, such as romance, historical, paranormal, time travel, and mystery, and it is very much a fun read. Armstrong’s writing style has an addictive quality to it that I can never quite explain. Perhaps it’s because her stories are character driven and slow moving in a way that could be negative, but often just feels like spending more time with the characters. This book is different than what Armstrong normally writes, but at the same time it still felt very much like one of her books. If you’re looking for a book to help you escape reality, I would recommend this one. ( )

A beautiful love/timetravel/ghost story. ( )

Another great novel from Kelley Armstrong. I love that this book has time travel aspects, like A Rip Through Time, but manages to be a completely different story. I am starting A Twist in Fate, book #2 in the series, immediately. ( )

A STITCH IN TIME is a time travel romance complete with an impossible love and vengeful ghosts.

Bronwyn Dale has recently inherited Thorne Manor from her great-aunt. Bronwyn had spent happy childhood summers there and made a friend of William Thorne, a boy of her own age, who lived in the house nearly 200 years earlier. But she hadn't been back since a terrible accident when she was fifteen.

When she's fifteen, childhood friendship has turned into adolescent love. But there are ghosts, ghosts. that only Bronwyn is able to see. When one of the ghosts frightens her awake one night, she runs out of the house in a panic which causes her uncle to come out onto an unsafe balcony and fall to his death. Her mother doesn't believe her ravings about ghosts and hospitalizes Bronwyn.

After treatment, Bronwyn begins to question what she saw and becomes convinced that both her time traveling, and visions of ghosts were hallucinations. She goes on to live her life. She falls in love and marries but loses her husband to a fast-acting brain cancer. She gains her dream position as a professor of history at a university in Toronto. And then she inherits Thorne Manor and needs to go back...

Once in Thorne Manor, she remembers those things she had suppressed, and she is still seeing a variety of ghosts. She also finds that she can still travel back to William's time where she finds a man who is at first angry with her for leaving him all those years earlier. He's also a man who has never stopped loving her. They rekindle their romance but there are still many obstacles not least of which is that they each have lives in another time.

There are also mysteries to solve. A strange number of disappearances have centered around Thorne Manor and William has gotten the reputation that carries into Bonwyn's time of being a reclusive murder. His sister, his fiancée, and his best friend's wife have all disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

Bronwyn needs to solve the mysteries and clear her lover's name but is concerned that righting the wrongs will repair the stitch in time and separate her from her William forever.

This was an entertaining story. I am not a big fan of time travel but thought that Kelley Armstrong dealt with the problems in a creative way. Samantha Brentmoor did an excellent job narrating the story. ( )

A Stitch in Time is a unique novel, as it combines elements of time travel, ghosts, romance, and mystery altogether. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, as I do all Kelley Armstrong's works - but there were a few historical errors I noted, for which I docked a star. Without the errors, the book would be a 5 star read.
