Just one week before Christmas, but Avery Dunham cannot get Ignus Burke to change his mind. The magic-wielding leader is obsessed by the portrait of the White Lady whom he is bent on rescuing.
Avery Dunham is always ready to follow time-traveling wizard, Ignus Burke, on incredible adventures. This time, though, she has serious misgivings that her childhood friend, Sam Guthrie, shares. Ignus wants to go back and rescue the White Lady whose portrait summons him irresistibly. Almost as soon as the three begin their journey, it becomes clear the mission is a trap.
Excerpt
Avery had a few queries on the tip of her tongue, like, “Are you out of your freaking skull?”
If she didn’t ask, Stan probably would. They’d graduated from high school this past June and worked part-time ‘nothing’ jobs, taking a break before college while finding their way, as Avery’s mother put it. Mostly, they were drawn to Ignus like moths to a flame, especially Avery. Not that he noticed.
If only he’d look at her the way he did the white lady. More and more, the portrait seemed to dominate his thoughts. How could a petite, okay short, girl in a sparkly pink sweater and unicorn leggings compete with this tantalizing beauty?
Avery wasn’t plain, some even referred to her as cute, but exotic didn’t describe her. Quirky, sure. She wouldn’t term her brown eyes deeply affecting, and her face wouldn’t compel men through centuries to her side. The best she could do was plead with him.
“Ignus, be reasonable. Please.”
No reply. He wore his stubborn look. Crossing his arms over a lean chest, he tilted his head to better view the femme fatale on the wall above them.
The tousled brown hair covering his ears and forehead needed a trim. In his red Zombie Preparedness hoodie with a white rescue logo, gray dress pants, and white high-topped sneakers, he was the quintessential nerd. Most importantly, he was a wizard and time traveler with a passion for rescuing lost souls. His fervor for this particular lady was alarming.

The White Lady is book 2 from Beth Trissel's Ladies in Time series. Beth Trissel is among my favorite and must read authors. This book gives me another reason why I love her so much. It is only a little over 100 pages and I had no problem reading it in one sitting. Such a wonderful, magical and adventurous story. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next installment of the series.
I give The White Lady five stars and recommend it.
Great read!
