Never Leave Me (Waters of Time #2) by Jody Hedlund -- Review

About the Book

In the last stages of a genetic disease, Ellen Creighton has decided to live out her remaining days at the estate of her longtime friend Harrison Burlington. Harrison cares deeply for Ellen, but as a wheelchair-bound paraplegic, he's never allowed himself to get serious in a relationship. However, he's desperately trying to save her by finding the holy water that is believed to heal any disease.

When he locates two flasks, Ellen refuses to drink one of them because she believes the holy water killed her sister and father. In an effort to convince her to take it, Harrison ingests the contents first, and when Ellen witnesses the effects, she can no longer deny the power of the substance in the bottles. Dangerous criminals are also seeking the holy water, and Ellen soon learns they will go to any lengths to get the powerful drug--including sending her back into the past to find it for them.

Bestselling and award-winning author Jody Hedlund plunges you into the swiftly flowing river of history in a race against the clock in this breathtaking, emotional second Waters of Time story.

Review

The second book in the Waters of Time series is a riveting and just as wonderfully written sequel.  From the turn of the first page, readers will be captivated with the story of Ellen who has a life threatening disease and wheel-chair bound paraplegic longtime family friend, Harrison. These two are thrown into an unexpected adventure as Ellen is kidnapped and forced to look for holy healing water.  Switching back and forth from medieval time to present, this story is fascinating and enchanting and the characters will steal the heart of readers.  This is a story that readers will not want to put down.
