Description Time With Norma Jeane: Time Travel Novel by Elyse Douglas

Praise Time With Norma Jeane: Time Travel Novel by Elyse Douglas
“A delightful and enthralling read! Elyse Douglas captured magic and put it on the page.”—Ambling Bookworm Reviews
“This is just an astonishing read that will have you hooked on page one and won’t let go till the last. I read it all in one sitting and could not put it down.”—Donadee’s Corner Reviews
Praise Lost Mata Hari Ring: A Time Travel Novel by Elyse Douglas
“I am amazed by the research done into her characters, especially since with this book it is a known woman from the past – Mata Hari. From the moment Trace falls back in time, the descriptions of people and towns created a vision in my mind and I could imagine myself there observing the situations. This book captivated me to the end! If you like books that delve into past lives along with time travel, this is a book you should pick up and read!”-Storeybook Reviews
“I must say that the authors did a fantastic job in writing this book. I do not believe that time travel is possible nor do I believe in reincarnation. But while I was reading this book, I believed it was all possible. Part of me envied Trace Rutland for what she experienced, for the things she got to see. What an exciting thing! Well, except for the being thrown in prison part. Once I was about halfway through the book, putting it down for any length of time proved to be impossible.”- Lisa’s Writopia
“This book has it all mystery, romance , history. I really enjoyed it as I didn’t really know that much about Mata Hari. I like historical fiction and this book was filled with history. I am not a believer in past lives but I found myself being drawn into the story and holding my breath to see what would happen next. A very well done story. I would recommend it if you like historical fiction.”-Mindy, A Room Without Books Is Empty
Time With Norma Jeane: A Time Travel Novel by Elyse Douglas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
First of all, when it comes to time travel novels, Elyse Douglas is by far my absolute favorite author of this genre. I can always count on her for smart, fun storylines that cause me to accept this time travel as a credible story, complete with many historically accurate references. To be honest, when I see her name on a book, I know I will not be disappointed. And this book is no exception. Very minimal issues of mild profanity that didn’t even bother me and no bedroom scenes. Just pure, wonderful storytelling, writing, characterization and more!
Secondly, for as long as I can remember, I have maintained a deep fascination and appreciation for “old Hollywood.” I have read more actor/actress biographies and autobiographies than I can remember. I used to “haunt” my library for such books when I was growing up. I have read more than one book about Marilyn Monroe, so this book and story resonated with me on so many levels. Elyse captured the essence of Marilyn perfectly, and then adding in Johnny Cash was the icing on the cake! And Darla was the kind of teenage heroine I simply adore, so this book couldn’t have better (except, it needs a sequel!).
Finally, if you love the 1950’s era, this may be the perfect book for you to read. Enjoying time travel is not a prerequisite. If you have a fascination with Marilyn Monroe, this is also a phenomenal book to read. I don’t want to give anything away. I will say that reading this book gave me such an escape from this world that I haven’t known in some time. Very few books cause me to enter their worlds so fully as this one!
