Three years ago, Rosalind Courtenay stumbled from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first, where she has been trapped ever since, leaving her husband and infant son behind. Now she’s found her way back.
The problem, of course, is how to explain her absence to her husband. Does he think she abandoned him? Has he remarried? Is he happy in a new life? Rosalind decides to don a disguise in hopes of answering her questions before showing up on his doorstep. Instead, a twist of fate has her mistaken for her young son’s new governess.
Rosalind has every intention of revealing herself as soon as August returns home from business. Until then, she’ll get to know her son, a quiet child who has inexplicably been abandoned by an endless stream of governesses. That’s when the hauntings begin. Rosalind has finally come home and something—or someone—doesn’t just want her gone. They want her dead.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.

A Twist of Fate by Kelley Armstrong
2nd book in A Stitch in Time series. Paranormal romance with time travel and ghosts. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series in order.
Rosalind accidentally falls through the time-slip in Thorne Manor and it takes several years for her to figure out how to return home to her husband and son. Those years have passed at the same rate and when she finally does return her son is five. He thinks she died while her husband refuses to “see” beyond his business duties. Rosalind becomes the governess to try to find a way back to her family. But someone doesn’t want Rosalind in the house and tries to scare her away.

Engrossing and thrilling. A little suspense and a lot of character growth.
Edmund is so reticent for five years old. I wanted to hug him and was glad to see him become comfortable with Rosalind.
Husband August had jealousy issues when Rosalind accidentally left him. It was gratifying to see him playing with his son. I won’t say more for spoilers.
William and Bronwyn (from book 1 and 1.5) return to help Rosalind.
I loved this story so much. I will definitely be watching for the next book in the series.

Absolutely amazing

Another breathtaking book in this incredible series. Is there absolutely anything more delicious than a Gothic, spooky, romantic mystery? Rosalind and August were the perfect couple until a stitch in time tore her away from her beloved husband and newborn son. She spends four years in the modern world desperately trying to get back. But when she finds her way home, how will she explain her absence?

Add in a scary ghost determined frighten away all newcomers, a lonely little boy and a bitter husband and you have the makings of a fantastic Halloween treat.

All the stars.

Magical Read

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2021

Rosalind stumbled into the 21st century three years ago, leaving her husband and young son behind in the 19th century and became stuck. Now she's finally returned, but isn't sure how to approach her family so she decides on a disguise. She's then mistaken for a governess although she plans to reveal herself as soon as possible. But there's something wrong going on at the house and Rosalind sets out to discover what's going on and protect her family.

I loved this book which is second in the series. Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors and this book is a prime example of why. I really enjoy time travel books and this concept is excellent. The book was well-written with well-rounded characters. I was drawn into this magical tale from start to finish and am very eager for the next book. I highly recommend both book and series which is best read in order.

Great Series Installment

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2021

I normally don’t like time travel books, I think it has to do with the movie Somewhere in Time, as that movie broke my little heart. Just like Jamie making Claire go back through the stones in the very popular Outlander books. Again I was heartbroken, not as young though. So I have normal do not read them, until one of my favorite authors writes a time travel series. I jumped in preparing for my heart to be broken again, but it wasn’t. HAPPY DANCE! As these time travel mystery romances have happily ever after! This second installment centers around Rosalind and August, who’s story was touched on in book one. What I love about this Armstrong’s book is that she the mystery had me guessing until the end. Which was so good, as it has plenty of twists and turns, and has a good paranormal story line.
I really enjoyed this book and the audio narrator was fabulous.

Really Enjoyed

I was very excited to read this after enjoying A Stitch in Time, and it did not disappoint. This is another time-travel story with a ghost thrown in, just like the first one. I appreciate Kelley's ability to keep you guessing about the mystery until the very end. She really makes you think you've figured it out. I also liked the character of Rosalind more than Bronwyn, and I greatly enjoyed all the other characters as well.

A must read!

Typically, I don't read romance books however I picked up Stitch in Time because it had been written by Kelley Armstrong. Armstrong is an amazing author who has written many of my favorite books. Stitch in Time, did not disappoint! When I finally put the book down, I was devestated to find that I'd have to wait a few months to read a Twist of Fate. I had to have more!
Twist of Fate, was definitely worth the wait! Immediately, Armstrong had me encased in this time traveling mystery romance. I felt the pain and devestation that Rosalind felt having been ripped from her world, her family and tossed into the future. You felt Rosalind desperation to return home to her family, to have what she had lost. Then upon Rosalind returning home to her time, she walks right into the biggest mystery of all. Well mysteries. Who is haunting the family? Who wants Rosalind gone so much they would go as far as to try and murder her? Is the family safe? Will Rosalind's husband recognize her upon his return?
Armstrong kept me on my toes with every page. I did not solve the mystery ahead of time. Which is exactly how I like my mystery books. She wrapped it all up in a beautiful box and a nice neat bow on top. Armstrong's characters are beautifuly written and well developed each with flaws of their own.
I know it's cliche to say, but I couldn't put this book down. It had my attention from the beginning to end, a fact my dog did not appreciate. I was delighted to see characters from Stitch in Time make an appearance to help our time traveling friend out, although this book can be read as a standalone.

Time travel badly done

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2021

I like time travel stories but this one was very poorly written. The heroine spends 4 years in the future, the first 2 years living in an abandoned house and stealing food and all of a sudden she's the owner of a successful bakery? Goes back to the past and wears a wig and nobody notices, wears brown contact lenses without saline solution? The villain
gets into her room and pours pond water on her bed and she didn't wake up? Hey husband didn't recognize her? Give me a break!

Suspenseful and exciting

Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2021

Kelley Armstrong shows once again why she has become one of the most treasured Canadian authors of her generation with the second book in the A Stitch in Time series, A Twist of Fate.
The characters leap off the page in this time-travel adventure that is so unique from any other series that have gone before. The experiences of Rosalind Courtney are heart wrenching and suspenseful, as the book twists and turns with such a page-turning pace that the reader has difficulty putting it down.
I look eagerly forward to more books in this series.

..a wonderful gothic mix of time travel, murder/mystery, suspense, ghosts and romance.

An ARC copy was received from the author in exchange for my review. This has not influenced the review in any way.

A Twist of Fate by Kelley Armstrong
This is the 2nd book in her A Stitch in Time series. It’s a wonderful gothic mix of time travel, murder/mystery, suspense, ghosts and romance.

For me, the best part of this story are the characters, their relationships and personal growth.

It’s the story of Rosalind, a Victorian woman who accidentally steps through Thorne Manor’s time-slip, ending up 180 (or so) years into her future (our present) – leaving behind her husband and baby. Rosalind was thought to have either died in a riding accident, or run off and abandoned her husband August and baby son Edmund.
The story follows her return to her own time, and her reintegration into her family – complete with disguises, ghostly sightings, and a mysterious death.

Someone in the household though, doesn’t want Rosalind there and mayhem ensues.

What works least well is the set-up that allows Rosalind to return to her home, disguised as the new governess, and her self-talk/justification for pretending to be another woman.

What I’d like to see more of – her time in our present, how she adapted and managed to create and own her own business in only four years.

For me, the best part of this story is the developing relationship Rosalind has with Edmund – a quiet well-behaved child who learns to trust and enjoy his time with his mother.

Rosalind’s relationship with August also develops, and she’s much stronger for her time away. August too has grown during their enforced separation.

Unravelling the mystery includes a number of twists and turns I didn’t see coming.

More straightforward than A Stitch in Time, this was an equally enjoyable read. Looking forward to reading the third instalment.

Not the book you are expecting, but it kind of is. With all the old stories mixed in with a new perspective and the characters in different roles, it is an entertaining read. But I always love Kelley Armstrong and will read everything she writes knowing I will be engaged and immersed in her story
