The Gods Time Forgot by Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez
3.5
He watched her looking up at the moon, wishing he could tell her that the orange of her gown made her look like his favorite part of a sunrise, the part that burned the brightest. But he wouldn’t dare. She had no need for his reassurances.
Emma. That's what they keep calling her but yet it doesn't feel right. That cannot be her, but the Harrington's are adamant that is their daughter. Rua plays along when the threat of being locked up in an asylum becomes a very real threat. Emma had been missing for a whole day before Rua was found coming out of a Hellmouth coated in blood, and with no memory. She is forced to quickly adapt as they make the Harrington's do their best to make their place in society. Enter Finn Donore.
There is a connection there, an unexplainable one. A feeling as though they have met before.
What to Expect:
📖Dual POV
📖Standalone
📖Irish Mythology
📖Murder
📖Gilded Age Fashion
📖New York Setting
📖Bridgerton meets Fantasy
When I first picked up this book, I wasn't immediately invested. My brain was having a hard time with the memory loss bits and it took me a decent chunk to get my barings straight and understand what was going on. Once we meet Finn I could not put down the book. The tension between the two was so palpable; I didn't want it to end. I nearly finished it that very day, but I had to go to bed at some point. I was so excited to find out how it all came together, but I did find myself a tad disappointed. The ending could have been so much more and I was left with a million questions. I think this would have made a fantastic duology. Where first we learn the secrets and then we live through the resolution. The characters deserved an ending worthy of their story.
Overall, I gave this book 3.5 ⭐. It was the ending that made me fall less in love because the story deserved just a bit more. It was all over too fast.
Thank you to netgalley and Alcove press for the arc.
