maybe it's because I am not familiar with how people behave in 1878? Sometimes I had the feeling, that they just had to react a little bit unrealistically so that the story could unfold. I don't know if it was just me, but I had the feeling, that much more was happening in these chapters of the story.īut even though I enjoyed reading it, sometimes I just couldn't understand how people reacted in certain situations. I also enjoyed to read about the Jocelyn in 1878. So of course, as a reader, I was speculating the whole book, whether there is a connection between both Jocelyns and Jacksons, and if there is, what kind of connection would it be? It made so much fun to speculate :D Every few chapters I had another idea/theory, and of course I never really came near to the real solution or rather what was really happening lol They are to be married in about two months, and Jocelyn wishes, that the time would pass a little bit faster. Not to mention the visions she gets, whenever she faints. She gets lightheaded and feels nauseous near him, and when he happens to touch her, she faints immediately. Jocelyn also would like to become friends with him, but there are strange things happening to her, whenever she comes near him. In 2009 Jackson moves in the same neighborhood as Jocelyn and becomes friends with her friends fast. In both times we have persons named Jocelyn and Jackson. And it was really refreshing to read something you haven't read a thousand times over. (At least for me it is the first time I am reading a concept like this). ** I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review ** Essence takes a fresh look at the idea of time-travel and the power of the mind in a complex story that will cause you to question your own perception.
As the barrier in her mind disintegrates, she learns she must choose between love, family, and her own happiness. Is it really possible she could be living on two planes of existence, falling asleep in one and waking in another? And what is the meaning of Jackson's sudden appearance in her life? Jocelyn struggles with the bizarre images she witnesses and the emotions aroused by those she encounters. Waddington that chronicles the life of Jocelyn Timmons as she slowly comes to understand the implications of the visions. I borrowed this synopsis from Goodreads until I have time to write my own one.Įssence is the first novel in a unique series by A.L.
