In Scotland, 1568, 19yo Cullum watches his best friend Thomas get murdered by what seems to be a superhuman being. While trying to avenge his friend, Callum gets sucked into a time warp that drops him on the highway in front of 19yo Klara in the year 2022. Klara is almost murdered by the same supernatural entity that killed Thomas (the demi-god Llaw) because she unknowingly had been given power by the goddess Arianrhod and Llaw wants the power. She must stay alive past Samhain (Scottish Halloween) or Llaw will use her powers to disrupt the very fabric of time in every universe. Klara and Callum travel to the mystic centers of Scotland to unlock Klara’s power and gain answers. Romance blooms between Klara and Callum. Sacrifices are made, but together they save the worlds.
It took 38 pages to become interested. The book is brain candy. Breaking time is a romance, fantasy, book with a few intense action sequences. Fans of Outlanders would like it. Descriptions of the sexual tension was very effective. The descriptions of the areas visited in Scotland were spot on. Alsberg left the ending open to a sequel. High School girls who like fantasy would probably love this book. I can’t see a teenage boy picking up this book unless they looked past the cover.
