Tides of Time: A Paranormal Romance Mystery (The Legacy)

I made a HUGE mistake when I swiped my finger across the screen to start reading Tides of Time. Mostly because I didn't have the time to finish it all in one sitting. And it literally made me SO GRUMPY until I could get back to it and lose myself in the magic and wonder of Cami and Sam. Ya know that irritation that you feel when you're hangry that you can completely identify as irrational, but you can't help yourself? Yeah, that was me. There were several moments where I was extremely grateful to have a very forgiving boss when I bit his head off. Annnnnnyway...Let's talk about Cami, shall we? Okay this is seriously one tough chick. First and foremost, she has survived vet school and is a hair away from having all the certifications she needs. Just GETTING IN to vet school is impressive with, roughly, a 2:1 placement which is basically on par with medical school. Don't ask me how I know these numbers off the top of my head, it is a long and pathetically boring story. So yeah, clearly our girl is brilliant. But then we add in conversing with animals, having elemental water power/connection, and, oh, did I forget to mention BEING A WITCH and you've got a seriously impressive heroine. As though that wasn't enough, Cami is a survivor of domestic abuse and carries all the strength and scarring that comes with that heroic title.Cami is also extremely devoted to her family. Which unfortunately can create issues for her. Such as when she has to rescue her baby sister from the edge of a cliff where she has gone chasing after the no-longer-with-the-living-but-not-really-gone Sunny Sol. The positive of this adventure? Cami and her sisters Mina and Delia stop at a restaurant for breakfast because, ya know, experiencing the final days of a former Hollywood starlet and conversing with the water can really take it out of a couple of girls. This particular eatery not only houses replenishing food, but a sexy owner who takes a shine to our brilliant Cami.We all know (mostly because I say it on repeat) that I love me some broken boys. Now, I definitely had my caretaker spidey senses go up when I very first met Sam because he just carried that weight that I knew meant he went through some stuff. You can absolutely feel when a character is broken. But... all seemed pretty well at first. Right up until Sam and Cami start doing research into Sunny Sol's life and mysterious death and secrets about Sam's own family come to light.Ms. Joya does an exceptional job of world building in a way that sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. I felt as though I had stepped onto the pages of the book and was in SoCal with Cami and Sam. The descriptions were lush and vibrant and the compelling plot hooked me hard and wouldn't let me go. Reading through Leslie Sol's journals brought a tear or two to my eye (just go read so we can commiserate) with the depth of emotion.And can I just say that a first kiss that is punctuated by a break-in and fire alarm may be my most favorite moment in the world **insert mega heart-eye emoji here**.

This was my first time reading paranormal, and it won't be my last, since there are two more books in Luna Joya's Legacy Series coming soon.Cami and Sam electrify as they work to solve the murder of Sunny Sol, a 1930's diva, at the request of Cami's witchy older sisters, both of whom possess an "easy handle on death and murder." But will they survive long enough to unravel the truth? Or will they fall prey to someone who desperately wants to stop them?Luna is adept at using dialogue to move the story forward, so much so that the reader barely realizes the book is written in the third person, and she has included all the elements of a great read: engaging characters, a spectacular setting and a plot that never fails. Overall, Tides of Time is a breezy, fun read that doesn't disappoint.

Cami comes from a family of witches. When she gets together with her sisters to help one of them figure out a murder mystery that happened decades ago, she meets Sam. He might be the key to solving the mystery, and he seems to hold the key to her heart. Cami has a secret in her past, and it might come to haunt her. Can she and Sam survive the danger? There is magic, romance, and suspense. This is a promising beginning for this series, and I look forward to reading more.

Nice paranormal. Liked the main characters and the magic wasn't allowed to get out of control. A few elements were very clear to me early on, was a bit surprised the character didn't think of it much sooner. But overall decent and would read the ones with the other sisters.

It took me little time between my own deadlines to finish but once I got back to it, I couldn't put it down. Steamy sex and fabulously funny supporting characters made this a fairly light hearted, fun romance.

Great storyline I loved how well the storyline flowed easily throughout the pages. The characters are engaging and well developed with plenty of chemistry throughout the pages.I received a copy and am voluntary leaving my honest review.

This book! From the moment it starts I'm hooked on the mystery building and the relationship of the sisters. Each with their own distinct personalities and powers add another element of intrigue. Then Cami and Sam meet and SWOON! Immediate attraction and angst ensue. This book has all the feels, strong women and a mystery that had me researching old hollywood actresses and scandals. Read this book!

Fun, well developed characters with a lot of heart, plus really delicious love scenes—what else could a reader need? The mystery from the past and the race to solve it was an interesting addition I haven’t seen done often in this genre. It was well executed and added to the story.

This is a brilliant read.Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.Great drama and action with wonderful world building.Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.Recommend reading
