I recently read my first Janet Kay novel, “Amelia 1868”. Published in 2012, it’s not her first, nor is it her last. If you’re a lover of paranormal romance novels, you’ll love Janet Kay.
Prairie Rose “Rose” Johanssen left her fiancé Bob at the altar back in Iowa. “Till death do us part? Oh my God, what am I doing here? Who is this man standing beside me? Sure, I’ve known him all my life. Sure, I love him, but…” She packs a bag, retrieves her dog Lucky, and drives west to parts unknown. All she does know for certain is something is leading her west where she ends up in Montana, terrified as she stares at an antique clock that looks eerily familiar.
When Paul DuBois comes face-to-face with Rose, they are both struck by the sense they’ve known each other in another time. Paul, the Virginia City historian looking for a research assistant, and Rose, a writer who loves research, are drawn to each other. She jumps at the opportunity to work with him. Paul, described by others as sometimes a little strange, is also a strong believer in the paranormal. While helping him set-up his equipment in the local cemetery one night, Rose is drawn to a weathered grave marker. All it says is “Amelia 1868”. She begins to weep uncontrollably. That’s when she sees the spirit of a man who is also grieving for the mysterious Amelia. This leads to her obsession to learn who Amelia was, how she died, and the identity of the man who still mourned her even after death.
During her search, she is pulled in and out of the past, between her life in the present with Paul, and Amelia’s life with Henry in Virginia City’s gold rush era. You, as the reader, will be, too. This book starts out slow, but quickly takes off into a hard-to-put-down read.
Beautifully written and thoroughly researched, I highly recommend it.
