Stuck in Time by Heather ManningMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ember Appleton (how cute is that name!?) is about to learn a whole lot more about the history of her hometown of Kansas City, MO than she bargained for. A unique chain of events during a thunderstorm throws her decades into the past. Like, WAAAAAAAAY BACK INTO THE 1930s. Now she's "Stuck in Time" with no way back home. Her modern-day clothes make her stand out like a sore thumb, now that she's in a more conservative time period.
Crime and corruption run amuck in the 1930s! Ember's new life (in the past) hits hard and hits fast. She's dodging bullets straightaway. Ember takes it all in stride though and becomes the true heroine of her story, even if her story has led her down a path she would have never envisioned.
The chapter about Electric Park was simply riveting! All the amazing rides and fun things to do. (The original inspiration behind Walt Disney's Disneyland!) Electric Park is a lost and forgotten American treasure that can only be experienced through a unique setting like this.
The ending of this book though... left me hanging. Heather Manning, I'll be waiting for a sequel.
Contains at least mild cursing. Also, is not Christian fiction. Otherwise, this is a clean romance.
