Synopsis: Helen Lambert has lived several lives - a young piano virtuoso in 1890s Paris, an actress in 1930s Hollywood, a rock star in 1970s Los Angeles - only she doesn't know it. Until she meets a strange man who claims he's watched over her for centuries, bound to her from the beginning.

At first, Helen doesn't believe him. Her life is as normal as any other modern career woman's. Then she begins have vivid dreams about ill-fated love and lives cut short.

Caught in a curse, Helen will be forced to relive the same tragic events that ruined her previous lives. But with each rebirth, she's developed uncanny powers. And as the most powerful version of herself, Helen must find a way to break the curse before her time runs out. 

Review: With a bit (or a lot) of skepticism, I requested A Witch in Time from my local library at my "sister-in-law's" recommendation. At first glance this would seem like a total departure from my usual reading, but this book has a historical fiction element - travel to Paris, old Hollywood, and L.A. in the 70s in one book? Yes, please! 

Really glad I stepped out of my comfort zone for this one. 

I'm absorbed in Heartland on Netflix so I'm not reading as much, otherwise I would have finished A Witch in Time much sooner.
