#BookReview: Scent of the Past by @ErinMBernardo #Giveaway

  A secret diary. A forgotten past. Another time. Close cousins Addison and Elissa live in present day New York City and lead somewhat ordinary lives. When uncertain circumstances surrounding a set of antique perfume bottles sends them back to eighteenth-century France, they must uncover the truth behind their travel. Disaster strikes when Addison finds herself in a nearly identical situation to a mishap she experienced in the present-the witnessing of a murder and release of a secret. Only this time the truth could destroy the entire French monarchy. With Addison's head on the line, the young women search for answers before Addison suffers her unlucky fate twice. It is only when they discover the haunting connections to life in the present, that they understand why they both were sent, and why a repeating past...may not always be such a bad thing.

This was so good I really enjoyed the time travel story about two girls from different walks of life and times.  Elissa and Addison were both wonderful characters and the side characters were even better.  You can really tell how much the author loves history and how much went into creating this story.  I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to check out what other titles this author has.  

This book has it all. A wonderful story, fantastic characters, and a fast paced plot. Romance, action, and wonderful! Once you start this book you wont stop it until the last page!  This one was great!
