A magic filled historical book, I sure would like a taste of the book. There is also the fact that it is including modern and contemporary problems like abuse and such which will give voice to those that do not have voice. Thanks for the review.

Sounds interesting. Finding a way to know what awaits one in the future is fascinating as well as nerve racking. Reading this review, I can't help but reason how these personalities would take in the revelation by Jenny, especially those with ugly fates.

I think considering the environment and truth of different situations in our daily lives ,spells and super natural powers don't last a long time ,no matter how strong the witch is like madam Genova ,but either way ,it really sends us to think outside the box in everything ... It's really eye catching ,saying if it were a series then it would be seen to the last season

The book is about historical fiction combined with magic. The remarkable luck, magical pocket watches, and consequences got me hooked! Thank you for the great review.

First, I need to praise how eye-catching the cover art of this book is. The title also sounds very intriguing. The premise seems so fascinating because it is about how a set of magicked watches will change the course of history. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I have never encounter a spell before, I just wonder how it feels like, though I've seen it in movies, Shota and Zedicus Zorander manipulated events with such gifts and magic.
this book will make a great read congrats.

I am impressed that many authors include such a sensitive subject as abuse in their books, lending a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. I like reading books that contain magic, thrillers and action. great review

Great review. I wonder to what extent predictions of fortune tellers may turn out to be true, or it a matter of pure coincidences or inspiration of positivity in their clients that eventually seem to authenticate their predictions?

This historical fiction novel about clairvoyance shares a good message of standing up for vulnerable groups.
