Publisher's summary

Travel through time with the touch of a hand.

Roan West was born with an extraordinary gift: he can relive memories across centuries and glean history first-hand. A highly skilled psychometrist, Roan is able to perceive the past of any object he touches. He has spent his life as a voyeur, using his talents to find and sell valuable antiques, but his quiet life in New Orleans is about to change. Stuart, a fellow pyschometrist and Roan's close friend, has just unearthed several "ooparts": out-of-place artifacts that challenge recorded history, including a ring belonging to the 17th-century mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes that was found buried in prehistoric bedrock.

The implications are staggering, but soon after the discovery, Stuart disappears, making him one of several psychometrists who have died mysteriously in recent months or vanished without a trace. When Roan comes across a YouTube video of a young woman who has discovered a priceless pocket watch by "sensing" it, he knows he has to warn her - but will Melicent Tilpin listen? And can Roan find Stuart before it's too late?

The quest for answers will lead Roan and Melicent around the world, and to forgotten corners of history, before it brings them closer to a startling truth and to each other in the latest romantic thriller from Gwendolyn Womack - the best-selling, PRISM Award-winning author of The Memory Painter and The Fortune Teller.

Skips

Not sure if it was just me but the recording kept skipping I would rewind to see if it was my internet connect but it was like there were gaps in the story. Very frustrating.

Good, but not her best

I remained interested enough to listen to the end, but overall it was just average. I loved the idea far more than the execution. I will read anything about time travel, time mysteries. And although this book claims to be about that... it really only borders on that idea. It's just a little flat where it had the potential to be fantastic. I will always read Gwendolyn Womack, as I find her books range in the 3 to 5 star regions - The Fortune Teller was a 5 for me.

The narration was overall fine, but both narrators had quirks which I found annoying. Lauern Ezzo reads the female lead in a constant state of high anxiety. Everything is read in high drama as if the sky is falling, and I almost gave up on it for that reason. Will Damron has a great voice, but I wish someone had instructed him how to pronounce the word "mudra" because every time he said it (which was often - it's an important word in the book) I wanted to scream.

Good, but not great.

A Winner!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters, the story line, the narration -- all of it. Seems like there could easily be a sequel. I'd certainly be in line to read it.

Good story if it's the first in a series

This felt like it should just be an introduction and not the entire story. I did enjoy the plot and hope a sequel will follow and develop the characters a bit more. What really limited my enjoyment was the female narrator. I wish I could have rated the narrators separately because the man deserved a 5, the woman a 0. She made all the characters, especially the female main character always sound like she was going to cry at any moment. A little whining goes a long way so I could barely get through her chapters. If only they had let Will Damron narrate the entire book, I would have enjoyed it so much more.

A good start

This could be an epic tale. More depth, character development and detail would flesh this out nicely.
