❀ ARC REVIEW ❀ THE REIGNING AND THE RULE (SURVIVING TIME #2) BY CALIA READ

TITLE: The Reigning And The Rule

SERIES: Surviving Time#2

AUTHOR: Calia Read

GENRE: Romance/Time Traveler

PUBLICATION: November 18th, 2018

Étienne Lacroix and I had a fire I thought would never die. 
Our love was timeless. 
An irreversible decision sent me back to the present day with a family I barely recognize, but I am determined to find a way back to Étienne. 
I can survive time. But I can’t survive life without him. 
Time bends to no one’s demands, so I must fight with everything I have to return to the past. However, I am terrified that the past I once knew might not look the same, and the man who once called me his surviving trace will no longer be waiting for me. 

Time bends to no one’s demands but sometimes love does…

I'm a chameleon, living two lives. One in the present day, and the other in the past.

'THE REIGNING AND THE RULE' is the second book in Calia Read's 'Surviving Time' Trilogy. It picks up where the first book left off. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives'

This review is going to be as spoiler free as I can possibly make it..

Holy Shit!! So I might of inhaled this, this was one of my most highly anticipated books so I pulled a late one and didn't put it down until that very last page was glaring at me in the face. God this book did a number on me. I look and feel like I've been pulled through a hedge backwards no adulting to be had by me today!!

This threw out ALL THE FEELS, so much angst, the swooning for me was tenfold compared to the first book, the heartbreak, the betrayal, I completely fell under this authors spell, and didn't want it to end..Were introduced to new characters which bring even more drama, and up against it all is a race against time.

Serene stole the show with her spitfire attitude, her sailor mouth, and her undeniable love for Etienne is just the icing on the cake. These two are my most favourite characters to ever be created, I fell in love with them in the first book but this book right here tipped me over the edge, I couldn't get enough of them. Bring on the next book!! I am ready!!

My soul mate was someone I was bound to never be with. Someone who time continuously dangled in front of me like forbidden fruit. I would reach for her over and over. Right when I thought I had her in my grasp, she was yanked away.

'THE REIGNING AND THE RULE' is without a doubt unputdownable (I am a testament to that) and unpredictable in every sense. This is not just your ordinary romance. It's highly addictive and insanely consuming in every way. LOve LOve LOved it!!
