Product Description

Product Description

The Hour Glass Witch is a Romantic Altered History Time Travel Tale with a splash of Greek Myth.

Travel back to the Salem Witch Hunt when a wicked glance could have you hanging from the gallows, convicted of lustful witchcraft! Accused of being a witch, Clio, the Muse of History is thrown in prison by a former lover from another life. To escape the gallows, she flees back in time, to the Italian Renaissance, where she becomes a courtesan for a famous Italian painter, living a life of luxury while pining for her lost love. Her favorite god and good friend, Dionysus, is living it up in Tuscany. He invites her to a wild party at his palace where she runs smack-dab into her destiny, only to be separated once more by the Queen of Gorgons. While the sands of time run out, she travels to Hades to face the hounds of Hell in search of her love. Can she salvage her one true love, please the gods and save the lost souls of Salem?

3.0 out of 5 stars A good story but a disappointing heroine 16 May 2012
By Book Addict TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Clio the Muse of History has been cursed by Aphrodite for a careless comment said in jest. Torn away from her beloved husband Pierus, Clio is tossed through time. Fate may bring her into contact with her re-incarnated lost love, but each time Clio awakens his soul and he remembers their life together, their relationship ends in tragedy before Clio is again flung into another time period.

The book is set predominantly in Salem during the hysteria of the witch trials and the Italian renaissance, with a trip to Hades. The environments are well described but the overall pace lacks energy, and at times I was reading just to finish this book rather than reading because it entertains and thrills. I also found Clio too passive a character in her quest to be re-united with Pierus. She pretty much never takes the initiative; instead only taking action when manoeuvred to do so by those around her. Clio is more likely to be falling to her knees in anguish rather than trying to break her curse.

In the Hour Glass Witch, Alisha Paige weaves a tale full of adventure as she takes us through time to historic and mythological places. Clio searches for her one true love through many lifetimes, risks and perils. The characters are exciting and full. I recommend this book to anyone liking mythology, adventure and romance!

"The Hour Glass Witch" is definitely worth the price and more. Alisha Paige has the ability to weave a tale that integrates fantasy, mythology and history. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I only wish that there was more to the story so that I could have read even more!
