She recently released The Sugar Baron's Daughters Series (KETURAH, VERITY and SELAH), and recently finished a teen series called Remnants (SEASON OF WONDER, SEASON OF FIRE, and SEASON OF GLORY). You can tell that Bergren has a passion for Old Italia through her descriptions.įair warning: the ending of Waterfall is both heartbreaking and hopeful.About Lisa Tawn Bergren is the best-selling, award-winning author of over 60 books, with more than 4.5 million copies sold. Lost in the beauty of the past, at times I found myself wishing to be part of that world. Even with the possibility of her sister being gone for good, and with her, Gabi’s only chance of making it home, Gabi pushes on forward, remaining steadfast.īetween the complicated and forbidden love brewing between Marcello and Gabi and the continual search for Lia, which turns-up surprising and dangerous results, I was glued to this book. Packing knowledge of medicine that Medieval Italia has yet to discover, skilled with a blade, and her own pure determination, Gabi is a force to be reckoned with. Though thrust into a period of time where women were extremely repressed and treated as fragile birds, Gabi remained strong and wise. Though baffled by Gabi’s appearance, clothing and behaviors, Marcello is quick to assist in the search for her missing sister. Sweet, brave, and kind, Marcello is everything you could want in a male lead, especially a possible romantic lead. After arriving in the past, Gabi quickly gains interest and assistance from a local Lord and his accompaniment. Luckily, Gabi does not have to do this alone. Gabi spends a good chunk of the story searching exhaustively for her missing sister.

Given the means of travel, Gabi’s younger sister Lia should have been in the tomb as well when Gabi arrived in the past, but instead, she remains missing for a great deal of this book.

Our main character Gabi is a strong, quick-witted and compassionate young woman who finds herself thrust back into Medieval Italia. Waterfall is an action-filled time travel story that really packs a punch. I’ve always been in love with the Medieval Time period, so with the knights, chivalry, and beautiful language, I was in absolute heaven while reading Waterfall. I finished this book in as little sittings as possible.
