I would definitely recommend reading these in a better order than I did and to start with the first. I think you will get a much better appreciation for the characters and the story. That being said, I did fully enjoy this story. I thought it was interesting and kept the pages turning. I loved the combination of historical fiction and fantasy. The author weaved the two together so well. The combination of characters worked really well too. Each had their part to play and I liked how they all interacted with each other. I certainly fond this to be a well written and exciting book. I can’t wait to go back and add more to the series.

Towne – Review by Kerry Baker
From the very beginning, Hester is a captivating character. Her willful spirit is admirable and she maintains those traits even when she goes through the hard times alone and her situation seems bleak. The relationship between her and her mentor Aaron grows into something more as he teaches her how to make healing ointments and tinctures through herbal lore like her great grandmother before her once did. Hester’s mother sees this as silly folklore and suspicious witchcraft and tries to steer Hester towards a more “appropriate” craft. When Hester makes choices that have some ruinous consequences regarding the opinion of society, she’s left to face those consequences alone but not as alone as you might think. There is a mystery throughout this book that leaves you with something to think about once it is finished. I still have questions; and yet, this book goes right into the top 5 of the best witchy vibe books with feminist themes such as self reliance and empowerment that I have ever read.
Nightfall in Deptford is the fourth book in the Crescent Moon Chronicles by L.E. Towne. Here I go again, diving into a series backwards. I was so caught up by the blurb and interesting cover, that I didn’t realise this was the fourth book in the series. Smh…. I soooo wish I had read the other books in this series before plunging into this one, as I suspect that knowing what happened previously would have elevated my reading experience of this book and taken it to a whole other level. Don’t get me wrong, this was a great read, and therein lies the problem…. I am seriously missing out by not having read the other books- but that is something I plan to remedy asap. I am more than intrigued by what might have happened in the previous three books, and will definitely be going back and reading them, as well as anything else Ms. Towne has produced. This is a fantastic historical urban fantasy with time travel, fae, magic, adventure, action, destiny, shifters, paranormal elements, the supernatural, dramatic developments, passion, life and death choices, high stakes, destiny, family, and a clever melding of fact and fiction. The story is skillfully woven, with wonderful world building, developing lots of threads and layers which all contribute to the depth and rich texture of the storyline that the author has cleverly crafted. I can see that the previous three books would have enriched my reading experience of this book as this continues a time travel story that began in book one. Although I was able to ‘catch up’ somewhat in this story, I still feel like I need to know what happened previously as I am sure all the books help to paint a much bigger picture.…. Circumstances have meant that Christopher Marlowe, famous 16th century playwright, and Tam Paradiso, a present-day homicide detective team up in a race against time, with challenges past and present, hard choices, threats, danger, and high stakes- all choreographed into quite a captivating story. I am looking forward to reading the previous book, as well as any future additions- can’t wait to see where things might lead. Happy Reading!

I enjoyed this book. It was a historical fantasy by a new to me author. I picked this one up because it sounded interesting and I was looking for something different from my normal reads. It was well written, and I didn’t want to put it down. The uniqueness of the storyline and characters made this story stand out and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future!

Towne – Review by Tausha Treadway
This is a gripping historical fantasy novel with a unique time travelling element, which made this a real page turner. Tam Paradiso is a present day homicide detective in Philadelphia, but her lover is definitely not from the same era, as it is playwright, and in this story, monster Hunter, Christopher Marlowe! On the 30th May 1593, Marlowe is destined to meet his demise amongst spies and criminals, but something has gone wrong and the final days of his life have deviated from their destined course, corrupting the proper flow of time in the process. Tam along with a banished fae warrior, and her former lover, Theo North travel back to 1593 to rescue Marlowe from the Tower of London. In order to fix the timeline they plot Marlowe’s escape from the impenetrable White Tower. They must also work out who’s behind the political conspiracy against him, and battle a vicious shifter who has a role to play in his death. If they should succeed, Tam will have to make the awful choice of whether to leave Marlowe to his predestined and tragic end, or risk destroying the future. I didn’t realise this was part of a series and I think it would be beneficial to read the novels in order, so you get a better understanding of the backstory and how the characters are all connected. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the plot kept me hooked from start to finish and the descriptive narrative made both eras come vividly to life. I particularly liked the added historical details which made me feel immersed in the 1593 settings.

I enjoyed this historical fantasy story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a well written story that has some suspense situations and twists and turns that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed what the characters brought to the story. How they brought life to the story and gave it a realistic feel. It is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. The characters are creative, unique and I found them to be connectable. There is great growth of the plot which makes the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a great story that filled my afternoon with shifter fantasy and a fast page turner.

Towne – Review by Bobbi Wagner
This was an interesting and enjoyable novel. I like the combination of fantasy elements with real-life historical characters. It was easy to follow even though it involves time travel to Elizabethan England. I am familiar with Christopher Marlowe, but mostly in name so I find it interesting to know him from this aspect.. The descriptions were clear and the elements of danger at every turn were realistic. I do wish I had read the other three books (not realizing this was book 4) as I feel it would more fully explain the relationship between characters and their backgrounds in general, but the summaries provided throughout the story are enough to keep me hooked to this one!

Towne – Review by Jana Lewis
This was a really interesting read. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the whole time travel element to the story made it really unique. I didn’t realise this book was part of a series but I will definately be going back to read them from the beginning. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone and is still really enjoyable.
There is lots of intrigue and mystery in this story and it is definately a story that keeps you gripped and guessing what will happen. I love the attention the author made to the relationship between the characters and how being from different times has effect on the relationships.
The playwright Christopher Marlowe is set on the path to meet his end surrounded by criminals and spies. However that doesn’t happen and because of that it changes the course and flow of time. Now it’s down to his love Tam, who lives in the present day to figure out what went wrong. Now begins the adventure of Tam travelling back to 1593, to rescue Tam and help him escape, however even with facing all the odds and a shifter who will play a part in Christopher’s death, Tam has a difficult choice to make. Does she succeed in helping Christopher to escape his path and demise to save the man she loves ag the risk of changing the future. Her present life? Or does she allow the course of time to run as it should, taking away the man she loves but saving everyone and her life in the future. This story is really good and really gripping. The mix of time travel, mystery, Romance and paranormal was an amazing combination that makes this story a must read.

Towne – Review by Kerry Carr
When Tam Paradiso learns that the man she loves, Christopher Marlowe, has been sentenced to death she decides to risk everything to save him. There are only a few snags in her plan which she must work around to save him. The first hurdle is that Tam is in present day Philadelphia and Christopher is back in the year 1593. Not only must Tam time travel back to 1593 but she must find a way to rescue Christopher from the White Tower after he has been wrongly imprisoned there. It seems that Christopher has gotten himself wrapped up in the middle of a political conspiracy and the result has been his conviction of a crime he did not commit. His impending death has completely altered the timeline of the future, so it is imperative that he be rescued, and the timeline be corrected.
Tam is a strong woman who is used to fighting her own battles, but this time has no choice but to take someone with her to help. Tam has recently learned that she is pregnant which complicates time travel and risks the life of her unborn child. With few choices on who she can ask to help, Tam is forced to choose her ex-boyfriend Theo, a banished Fae warrior. Will Tam and Theo be able to save Christopher and correct the timeline of the future?
The author did a great job with the dual timelines in this book, and I felt as though I was there in 1593 with the characters experiencing the conditions as they were in that time. I could smell and almost taste the foods they ate. I could hear the sounds of the busy streets and see the decrepit conditions many lived in. Each scene was so vividly described that I felt as though I was right there in that time experiencing everything that Tam, Theo, and Christopher were doing. I loved the character of Tam and admired the lengths that she would go to so that she could save the man she loved. Even if that involved enlisting the help of an ex-lover that she wanted nothing to do with. Theo was also to be admired for stepping up to help his ex-girlfriend save her new lover. Christopher was someone that you could not help but feel bad for after being imprisoned in such horrific conditions. I highly recommend this book!

Towne – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
When I saw the title, I was drawn to this book- mainly for the reason that the nearby town near me is also Deptford. Silly as this sounds, immediately realizing this book is the fourth in a series by E L Towne, I read the synopsis and decided to give it a go. Christopher Marlowe, a playwright awaits his fate in 1593. Can his love, Tam Paradiso rescue him in time? Oh, by the way she lives in current day Philadelphia. This story was captivating from beginning to end. I’m glad I stumbled upon this book, because like I said this is fourth in a series, but it read well as a stand-alone book. The characters come alive on the pages and I felt as if I was transported through time with them on their journey. I would recommend reading this book!

What a fantastic historical fantasy adventure! River Witch was captivating, intriguing and full of incredibly written content. The characters were enchanting and the overall plot was incredible.
Who could not relate to characters living in one manner but yearning for something more meaningful. It’s a coming of age type scenario that plays out beautifully throughout this book.
The author describes the forest, river, vivid dreams and characters, Hester & Aaron so well that you feel like you are truly inside of the story surrounded by their lives. I was highly impressed.
I believe most readers will thoroughly enjoy this read thanks to the author’s extraordinary gift. I can’t wait to see what else the author creates.
A great addition to the previous 3 books. A keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end book, complete with romance, time travel and lots of suspense. The characters are well written, and you feel as if you are a part of the story from beginning to end. At times I felt as if I was Tam and I was the one trying to rescue Marlowe. A must read!

I loved this book. The time travel factor, the romances that didn’t quite work due to age factors and the drama had me on the edge of my seat. I was pulled in and engaged from page 1. Coming in at book 4 of the series, it really has you wanting to know more. The suspense, the romance, the intensity just keep you so very curious as to what is around the corner. I love the writing. The characters are all very well-written and developed. This is a terrific book. I am going to go back and start with book 1 so I can see what happened before.

Murder and mayhem are old hat to Tam Paradiso. Time travel? That’s a new one.
On May 30, 1593, playwright and monster hunter Christopher Marlowe is destined to meet his demise amid a nest of spies and criminals. No one can change that, not even his love, Tam Paradiso, a homicide detective in present-day Philadelphia.
But something has gone wrong. The final days of Marlowe’s life have deviated from their destined course, corrupting the proper flow of time. Aided by visions from her sister, Isabelle, Tam travels back to 1593 to rescue Marlowe from the infamous Tower of London. She takes banished fae warrior Theo North, her former lover, as supernatural back-up.
To fix the timeline, they must plot Marlowe’s escape from the impenetrable White Tower, unravel the political conspiracy against him, and battle a vicious shifter with a role to play in his death. But even should they succeed, Tam will have no choice but to abandon Marlowe to his predestined tragic end, or risk destroying the future.

Bycatch by Alexander Blevens took me by surprise. When I initially chose this book I thought it would be a ‘good’ story, something I could use as a bit of a ‘palate cleanse’ between some of my ‘heavier’ reads. But this took me by surprise- in a great way. It grabbed me right from the get-go and didn’t release me till I had read every word. I was so engrossed in the story that I ended up reading it in one sitting. Sleep is overrated, after all lol. It is an entertaining and suspenseful thriller with historical details, crime (and investigation), family dynamics, tortured souls, human frailty, tension, intrigue, challenges, complexity, secrets, interconnected details, moving moments, guilt, murder, greed, culture, and more. This is a well-written, detailed, and descriptive story with skillfully crafted characters who all had their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I have been debating how to review this story ever since I finished reading it, not because there was anything wrong…. but because I don’t want to give too much away. I think I will let the blurb speak for the story and recommend going into the story a little blind and let the author, plot, and characters surprise you with a riveting read. If you love a bit of a twisty thriller, with tortured souls, secrets, murder, mystery, historical details, and gripping tension- then you will definitely want to snap up a copy for yourself to explore- asap. As this is his debut novel, I eagerly await more from Mr. Blevens. Happy Reading!

Unveiling Beulah is my first Audible by this author and this narrator. I truly enjoyed listening to this book and the narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life using different tones . The characters are relatable and fully developed and made me feel like apart of the story. This is a wonderfully written story where the past and the present collide. Can Lucian and Bea find love and happiness? I highly recommend listening to this fast paced story that once you start listening you won’t want to stop until the end. I definitely will be looking at what other books this author has written. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This book is a well written story that dives into culture, greed, and profound grief. The characters you encounter are crafted in such a way that what they are feeling or suffering from feels like you are the one with those experiences. The trauma of war with the repercussions that come from it are exposed in a light that is normally shadowed over. The lives of two different cultures living in one area is well written. Following along with the characters as time moves on and their personal journeys to healing keeps you wanting to turn the page. War related reads are not something I normally choose when picking up a story and I do not regret picking up this book. It hit me in the feelers while being an interesting read. I would highly recommend this book.

Wow what a story. The intricate details that this author put in to was…wow…superb. Although this book is different than what I normally read..I am so glad I picked this book up and the cover itself intrigued me. The author captures you in different time lines, but the story really comes together. This book is about what happens when poor choices full of greed come full circle and forgiveness between a man and a community of Vietnamese immigrants.

Bea Lockhart is not only a strong woman. She has endured so much in her life. The Scar on her face did not help much. Even her father considered her damaged goods. After running her fathers shop, she just got tired of being put down. So she left and moved to a small town in Texas. Lucian Moreau is set into an arranged marriage by his grandfather. With all the money he ever earned, discovered his bride was only out for his money. Well he wants more, so he packs up and moves to Texas. These two lonely hearts need to find love and family. Will this happen for them? Or will they stay hidden? The author wrote this amazing story. It is fast paced and grabs you in the first chapter. I love Bea and Lucian! The struggles that have rained upon them are some we ourselves face as well. That is what made this book so easy to listen to. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.

This is my first audible by this author. I enjoyed listening to it and I look forward to listening to more by this author. I enjoyed how the narrator brought the story to life by using different tones. They brought the story to life and made it easy to imagine. A story where the past and present collide. A story where deception and rejection is strong throughout the years. What will happen with these two souls and will they ever find a love that will last? The characters are connectable and kept me coming back for more. This is an easy story to listen to and entertaining. I highly recommend this audible.

I could not put this book down! I love spooky and historical books and this book was fire! I could not wait to dive into the story, and I could not put it down. I cannot think of enough good things to say about this book. It was one that I read in one sitting as I needed to know what was going to happen! I cannot wait to tell my friends about this book and have them fall in love with this story as well.

Bea Lockhart is a woman you do not mess with. She may be shy and conscious about her scar, but she is a smart business woman. She leaves her Father’s Mercantile in New York to have her own store and love in Texas. There she meets Lucian, once from New York, but ran from an engagement he didn’t agree to. The rest is there to listen to. Lots of friendship, family drama, romance, and even threats here and there.

I was so excited to be able to go on yet another adventure with Emma and the gang and during my favorite time of the year no less. It’s the Christmas season, and of course more mystery abounds. The book is written to pick up where the last book left off, but also allows new readers to quickly join in on the fun without being confused about past events that brought our beloved characters to where they currently are in their lives. I really enjoyed this book just like the others, with all of its historical facts and charisma, and I hope to see more of the Notebook Mysteries series in the future.
Fast forward to 1887, we return with another promising adventure. Emma awakes in a dangerous situation. At first it seems that she is alone, but Dear One is with her. The circumstances of their situation are slowly revealed to the reader. Which appears to be the first mystery of many. This book, like the others in the series, is full of mystery, intrigue and plot twists. I have enjoyed it thoroughly and hope to find out where life takes Emma next.
It is now 1885, 2 years since the second book ended, and we finally get to find out who the narrator and the mysterious Dear One are referring to when the narrator speaks. This book follows suit if the series and continues with the mystery and intrigue. I won’t spoil any of the surprises but there are some repeat characters in this book which makes for a nice treat as well. I’m hooked and looking forward to the next adventure.

This book picks up where it left off. It reminds readers of the previous story’s intrigue and mysteries, and also explains more about the events that led to present day events. It is now 1883 12 years after the last book began and 2 years after it ended. Emma the forever adventurer has new mysteries and secrets to unfold in this next installment of the notebook mysteries series. The book certainly doesn’t disappoint with its fair share of mystery and intrigue. I am looking forward to reading the next book and seeing what new adventures Emma finds herself in.
