Welcome to the Wednesday’s Favorites post. In the Wednesday’s
Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that aren’t so
popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts of genre’s will have
a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is ‘The Keys of the Watchmen’ by Kathleen C. Perrin, a book I read in May 2015.
The Book:
visit to Mont Saint Michel with her father’s new French wife. Once there, she
is confused when she experiences sensations of déjà vu and hears voices as she
and her younger brother explore the medieval village and abbey.
When the oddly-dressed but alluring Nicolas slips Katelyn
a strange medallion, she is whisked back through time with him to the 15th
century where her Watchmen hosts tell her she is the only hope to save Mont
Saint Michel from the invading English armies. Even worse, she learns those
armies are led by a fallen angel intent on learning the mount’s closely-guarded
secret.
Katelyn is torn by feelings of anger at being taken back
in time, inadequacy at finding a modern solution for a medieval problem, and
responsibility for the mount’s starving inhabitants. She is also perturbed by
her surprising attraction to the ill-tempered Nicolas.
Will she stay to learn
why she was chosen by the Archangel Michael and find a way to save his mount?

Praise for ‘The Keys of the Watchmen’:
were relatable and strong, the descriptions breath taking, the history
interesting, the plot perfect, the action heart pounding, and the plan
impeccable!
fantastically weaved story with a lot of history mixed in. Katelyn’s story as a
Watchmen is one you will not forget once you have read it!
recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction with a twist of
time travel.
did an amazing job with this book, and I can’t wait to read more about the
Watchmen. When you start reading this book, be prepared to do nothing more than
read. And get your tissues ready, because I cried my eyes out at the end.

Time travel! This sounds like a good one, Maureen. I don't often read books that involve time travel, but you've got me curious about this one. I hadn't heard of it before.
This one is really good. I couldn't put it down and it was just so exciting. It also involved some real history.. I think that castle on the cover really exists.
