Mystery Nightmare Journey Across TIME Kindle Edition
Dr. Blain Conway, a captivating neurosurgeon who recently arrived in town, is infatuated by Star from the very moment their eyes meet, setting their hearts ablaze.
Star Tripodi, a fiercely independent and breathtakingly beautiful young woman, holds a heart brimming with intoxicating dreams for the future.
She believes herself impervious to any authority, including that of God.
However, Star's world comes crashing down when an unfortunate twist of fate places her in the path of a speeding car, leaving her critically injured and reliant on life support.
It is Dr. Conway who assumes responsibility for her critical care. In her delirium, Star battles demons before being thrust back to colonial Virginia in 1754.
Rescued from the clutches of an imminent Indian war party by Baron, a daring and resourceful wagon trail scout, Star narrowly escapes peril.
He carries her on horseback to the safety of a wagon train, where she finds solace and protection under the wing of Hildy, a compassionate widow.
Life in this distant era is vastly different from the comforts of the future, and Star is soon confronted with the harsh realities of pioneer life.
Uncertainty clouds her mind as she contemplates her future beyond Hildy's journey, fearing the terrifying truth of destitution and a lack of belonging.
Will Star remain trapped in 1754, forever severed from her own time?
Or will the fervent prayers of her family and a miraculous intervention from God guide her back to her rightful era?
The answer to her fate hangs in the balance as she embarks on an extraordinary quest through time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Lessons of "God's Love" J.E. Grace Another great time-story read. I loved how the author weaved current and pastime into a thought-provoking read. The main character, Star, is very relatable and as a young woman, has much to learn which her travel into time teaches her. She is shown much love from those she doesn't even really know. This is a page-turner and has many lessons about God's love throughout its pages. The love of God shines from every page. Highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Faith in God Cynthia Kaley I love how people find it renew their faith in God. My faith was renewed when I had a kidney removed and not even a year layer, breast cancer. God has reminded me he is always there. And always will be. Amen

- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025What I really love about this book is the way it takes you on an unexpected journey through time, blending elements of romance, fantasy, and adventure. Star Tripodi is a headstrong, modern woman whose life takes a dramatic turn after a tragic accident. I enjoyed how her character evolves as she transitions from the comforts of the future to the harsh realities of colonial Virginia. The mix of historical details and the supernatural—like her battle with demons in her delirium—adds a unique twist to the story. Baron, the daring wagon trail scout, is a compelling character, and the connection between Star and him is full of tension and emotional depth. The struggle Star faces between the past and her future is gripping, and I found myself rooting for her as she navigates a world so different from her own.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025I didn't expect this story to grab me so much, but the mix of romance, adventure, and spiritual growth made it unique.

Although some parts of the romance felt rushed, the message of redemption and hope gave it a special touch that left me pondering.

Author: Crystal Mary Lindsey
Rating: 4.3 stars
I loved the plot of "Mystery Nightmare Journey Across Time" written by Crystal Mary Lindsey. The main story is about a girl just turning 18 who's very self-centered until she's comatose following an accident. Throughout her comatose condition, she travels two hundred years in the past to the days of covered wagons. In that time, she learns to appreciate her faith in God and the lessons her elders have tried to teach her about maturity and responsibility. Another accident in that time thrusts her back to the present, where her parents, grandfather, and her handsome neurosurgeon have anxiously awaited her reawakening.
As much as I loved the idea of this story, I wouldn't be leaving a completely honest review if I didn't mention the few issues I had with this book, thereby my 4-star rating as opposed to five stars.
First, I don't overly object to insta-love stories. However, after what her father believes is a brief single meeting between Star and Blaine, he nearly has her marrying the guy. Most fathers I know would not be too happy about a doctor in his mid-twenties hitting on his barely legal daughter, especially after having just met her! After the third brief interaction (second as far as her father knows) and the receipt of a single gift (despite her plans for college and denial that very night to her father) Star does a whiplashing 180 about how she feels. And then, almost immediately upon waking up, she asks Blaine how soon they can be married... and her parents are fully supportive. Those events felt really rushed. I think more interaction between the two before those pivotal realizations could've greatly enhanced the overall story and how it flowed. There were also some mostly minor editing issues but another round of proofreading could easily correct those (the most noticeable one being the change between Belle and Bella. Most of the time it was Belle, but there were a few places where Star's best friend in the 1700s was Bella).
When all is said and done, though, this is a book I'd reread and would recommend.
