Ugh. I had a really hard time with this book. I couldn't get through the second book so my review is for the first one, In the Shadow of the Moon. It's a poor imitation of Outlander. Woman accidentally travels in time, into the past during a war, ends up staying with a family, and falls in love with the wounded war hero. She's accused of being a spy, needs to get back home, blah blah blah. The war is the Civil War and the soldier is a Confederate soldier. The worst part of all this is, the main character, a modern day woman, actually defends slavery! I was disgusted. And I've noticed that Karen White has this tendency to stereotype the characters in her books. All the southerners are hardworking, passionate people of integrity while the northerners are cold, ruthless, and heartless. I can't even count the number of times I rolled my eyes. The worst part of the book was (SPOILER AHEAD!) that when the main character found her missing daughter, the one who had disappeared through time, she not only didn't recognize her, she decided to leave her behind! No sane person would do that. Definitely skip this one.
