What It's About!
Everyone has a past, but
for most it isn’t as long ago as Seth Sangre. His past is literally
thousands of years ago. Seth’s life led him to the present seeking
something that might help him save his country from destruction. He has
been in the present for over three years now and just found exactly what
he has been looking for.
Mari had dreams that college will be a fresh start, one where she would start over and not fall for the good looking player like high school. Unfortunately for her, that’s exactly what ends up falling into her lap on the first day she moves into the dorms. Now she has to hold to her promise to herself and not fall for the handsome Seth. But he doesn’t plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next conquest. As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a life of his own that’s actually from the past. Suddenly Mari finds her future along with her past put into question. She’s connected to Seth far more than she ever wanted to be and maybe the player isn’t who she thought he was. If Mari can trust her heart enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.

My Thoughts!
I received this book through Net Galley in turn for an honest review.
I wasn't sure about this book at first, but I ended up liking it. It kept me interested. No I wouldn't read it over again. I didn't find any quotes that stuck with me to keep, but it was a good light read. Mari did put up a fight falling for Seth but gave in like we knew she would. The whole time travel Egyptian thing was interesting. A lot of questions went unanswered, but that is the catch in the first book of a series. The want for more! I think there is more to the story of Mari and Dee. The Goddess was pretty clear that Seth & Mari may not necessarily end up together. I also had a sickening feeling that somehow Seth's father and Mari's mother had something going on in the past life. I just hope Seth and Mari don't end up as brother and sister, because that would be sickeningly awkward...
