The Rocky Pathway is the final book in this time travelling series and a fitting end to what has been a truly fabulous series to read. In this last book it is Izzy’s child, Daniel, who travels back in time however on this occasion the nautical sand timer is not at fault. Instead Daniel accidentally activates a time portal when the family are on an outing at Brimham Rocks. In this story, teenager Daniel, is stuck in the past with no means of return, during an outbreak of Smallpox. He must learn to adapt and survive during this historical period. Izzy’s parents Catherine and Jason risk all to travel back in time to search for the nautical sand timer and rescue Daniel from the past. But will they find their way back to the present or remain forever in the past, and was Daniel’s time slip truly accidental or was something else at work here?
I have really enjoyed reading this series and again the author does not disappoint with Book 3. I love the way in which the characters all connect throughout each of the books both in the past and present time, linking events, chance encounters, and building relationships. The reader is all ready invested in the characters and the way in which each story has been written and delivered makes it very easy to slide back into the events and follow on, without causing confusion or having to read back over. A fascinating and enjoyable plot, good pace, great characters, relevant dialogue and no significant editorial issues to distract the reader from their enjoyment. Although these are standalone books, to really enjoy and appreciate how wonderful this series is, I would recommend reading the books in their published order.
I am awarding this final book of the series 5 stars.
