The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor 1) by Shannon Nemechek. When I read the blurb I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but I knew I was interested to see where this author was about to take me. And boy am I so very glad I opened this book up and stepped inside. Katie immediately drew me inside the story and I was ready for an adventure and this story gave me just that. I couldn’t put it down and I’ll be honest I wasn’t ready for it to end. The author’s writing style is smooth and detailed, I found myself forgetting I was only reading what was happening and not living it or watching it. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion was a great 5 star read.and book one in the Book of Eleanor series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning. Katie is in Savannah enjoying a vacation, when she hears a story that intrigues her. She is determined to find the book. She ends up traveling back in time. This is where she meets Colm O’Donnell and things get more interesting from here.
Will Katie stay in the past or come back to the present time?
Overall, this was a great read. I really loved all of the characters. The authors writing pulls you right into the story and you feel like your there with them. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

5-Star
The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor Book 1) by Shannon Nemechek is full of Magic, romance, and time travel. I fell in love with it immediately. Katie is taking a break before beginning her new role and managing her PTSD. She stumbles on a story that is a huge part of the small Georgia town history that she us somehow tied to. I loved following her and learning of Colm and Eleanor. Each of these characters was amazing and realistic. I loved the Bits of history mixed into this fun story. It was an excellent read and I highly recommend it.

From the very beginning to the very end of The Travelers: Chimera Rebellion, I was pleasantly surprised with how this story was woven. This book deserves 5 stars and I believe it is a definite must read! This book made me feel every emotion at once, and I loved it. From curiosity to anger, defeat to hope, and everything in between! Katie and Calm’s story is stunning from start to finish with mild violence, mild sexual scenes, and minor language. I am very eager to see how Katie’s story continues in book 2 of this series, Chimera Revolution! “Sleep, my darling. Tomorrow we have our whole lives ahead of us. Tomorrow, we are one.”

I really enjoyed this book. An adventure through time, some historical romance, and a bit of book nerd, this reminded me of ‘Outlander’. This is definitely a page-turner, and I loved the plot and characters. Although the beginning was a little narrative-heavy, the story picks up and I really enjoyed the dialogue and the writing style hooked me in. This is a well-written book with lots of heart and warmth. I can’t wait for the next book.

I have not read any of the other novels by Shannon Nemechek, but I will say she outdid herself with “The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion”! It was an awesome read. It was very easy to fall into the story, and to be transported back in time to the Civil War, just as Katie was. You fall in love as she falls in love, and it will spellbind you as the magic is released. It based on historical fact, but as it as meant for entertainment purposes only, it was one of the best contemporary historical fiction novels I’ve ever read! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor Book 1) by Shannon Nemechek
5 Stars
I’m a HUGE fan of time travel novels that include romance… There’s a huge series out there with books that are like super long and I have that whole series in paperback and have read it 3 times …This is why I was a bit worried when I saw this book, I was afraid I’d be too critical or it wouldn’t live up to what I had in my mind as far as expectations for the time travel genre…
One of the main reasons I chose to read this is the author..I love Shannon Nemechek and have read a few of her books but let me just say that this is by far my favorite of hers so far. She did an AMAZING job with this story and actually had me completely invested within the first few pages and I found that I didn’t compare or criticize at all.. I actually did not want it to end. How this story unfolded and how Katie and Colm came together while Katie learned of so many things about herself and her own past, I just can’t say enough about this story!
This was full of everything I love about reading…The way everything was written made it almost seem real and even possible.. I’m not going into specifics of the story…I say read it, you will not be sorry..I can not wait for the next in this series. That ending … oh my!!
I will absolutely be rereading this right before the second book releases and I already can’t wait 🙂

The Traveler:Chimera Rebellion is the first book in The Book of Eleanor by Shannon Nemechek and what a first book it was. Shannon Nemechek is a new author to me and I will be seeking out her books in the future. This story has all the great elements for a great book. To be honest it was the cover that drew me to the book. On the other hand, it was the plot line and characters that keep me glued to my kindle. Nemechek writes about Kate and Colm who meet by chance. Kate loves books and when the book is rare, she makes it her mission to find it. This rare book that she found takes her back in history, and lands her in the middle of a war zone. Enter in Colm, who is a soldier who just so happens hates slavery. When his parents passed on, he inherited his family plantation. He is off to make a lot of changes and that is when Kate enters the picture. Colm and Kate have different backgrounds. Will Colm trust Kate? Will Kate find her book? What does the future hold for Colm and Kate? You will have to read this book to figure out those questions. I cannot wait for book 2 to come out. So for now enjoy book one.

The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion is the first book in The Book of Eleanor Series by Shannon Nemechek. It is a time travel fantasy- with magic, mystery, witches, history, war, love, suspense, drama, action and adventure. This has the feel of “Outlander”, but with a flavour all its own. I really enjoyed this first book and am looking forward to continuing with the rest of the series. Katie Butler is a Major in the US Army- and she has no idea that her love of old books will catapult her on an adventure through time- and to a date with destiny. While on leave, Katie hears of a rare book which piques her curiosity and she is determined to track it down. This leads to her to being swept back in time- and smack bang into the middle of a war- crossing paths with Captain Colm O’Donnell. This twist of fate will be revealing in more ways than one. Will she find a way back ‘home’, or will fate intervene? This is a fast-paced story that’s full of intrigue, excitement, surprises, and some suspense- which kept me hooked, and flipping pages to discover what would happen next. The characters are fantastic, they are really well crafted into fully realised individuals who have a great connection and chemistry. I loved the time travel aspect to the story, it was quite cleverly done. The story is detailed and very descriptive- so wonderfully woven with rich and vivid historical elements. This book is such a great way to start the series- I can’t wait to read the next book!

What a solid, well-written book! This romance is filled with the present and the past, supported by two main characters that you will immediately relate to. Nemechek has created a wonderful storyline that captures your heart and imagination and won’t let go. I loved every page and look forward to seeing how the series continues.

The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion by Shannon Nemechek is the first book in the Book of Eleanor series. This is a fantastic and unique story that will have you completely hooked from the start. From the moment I started reading this book I was utterly hooked. I really felt like I was immersed completely in the story and the journey of Katie and Colm. I loved how different they both were and how they managed to create a connection despite this. Ms Nemechek has a great writing style – one that I have appreciated in previous books I have read. This whole book has a great flow to it. It was very well developed and did everything needed to capture my interest. This book is clearly the start of a great new series and one I cannot wait to continue.

The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor Book 1) By: Shannon Nemechek 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor Book 1) by Shannon Nemechek is a time travel/romance book. It is a story that had me hooked from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down. I loved reading about the characters of Katie Butler and Colm O’Donnell. Katie is a strong, independent woman who finds herself transported back in time. Colm is attracted to Katie and is determined to find out the truth about her. What does the future hold for Katie and Colm? Read this book to find out. The author gives wonderful attention to detail and I felt like I was right there with the characters. I grew to care about Katie and Colm with every chapter that I read. Katie finds herself at a time in history where the country that she finds herself in is at war with itself. I have not read a lot of time travel/romance books however this one has me wanting to read more of them. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story and find out if Katie and Colm have a future together. I recommend reading this book.

The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor 1) by Shannon Nemechek is an interesting read that keeps you on your toes wondering what is coming next. It is well written and keeps you glued to the pages. I enjoyed the characters and the worlds that Shannon has created. The story is along the same lines as Outlander, which I truly love. There is magic and witches, time travel and wars death and love.
Kate finds herself in Savannah and loving the history she has heard about, but she soon finds herself in another time and in the middle of war and face to face with her soul mate. But that is not the only thing she finds in this time, what she learns seems impossible and almost laughable, but she soon learns the truth and what her destiny is meant to be.
If you love Outlander, you will love this. I look forward to more from Shannon.

I enjoyed this book. It is a time travel story that is engaging and I enjoyed watching the world building grow throughout the story. There is much going on in this story but I was easily able to keep up. The characters made the story realistic and had me turning pages fast. Katie is on leave from the Army when she finds out about a lost book. Now she is determined to find said book but is she prepared for what she finds and the secrets it holds? I highly recommend this book.

Captain O’Donnell despises slavery and when his father leaves him the family plantation, Colm immediately sets out to make changes. Having devoted his life to military service and his family’s plantation, Colm has very little time for anything else. With his country embroiled in war, he has even less free time.
