The Book of Lost Enchantments
by Jessica Dodge
About this book
At twenty-nine, Nora Cameron's life feels adrift, her days are spent working in her parents’ bakery, and her nights are spent alone watching Hallmark movies. She yearns for something beyond her predictable existence, though she has no idea what that might be. That is, until fate intervenes, and Nora is swept into an unforeseen adventure to Scotland.
Guided by her grandmother’s cherished photo album from the 1940s, which documents her time spent as a medic-nurse in Scotland during World War II, Nora stumbles upon a mysterious old bookstore in Edinburgh. There, amidst the smell of old books and shelves lined with relics of forgotten lore, Nora's eyes fall upon a peculiar little red book. As she delves into its pages, strange and unexplainable events unfold, including a sudden snowstorm that strands her in the Highlands with a handsome but surly journalist named Alistair.
Snowed in and at odds with one another, Nora and Alistair struggle to get along. With little else to do but tend the fire, Nora immerses herself in the red book’s tale of a young woman from centuries past, on a quest to save her grandmother and resist the pull she feels toward a dashing but aloof son of a Scottish Duke.
As the days pass, stranded in the cabin, Nora discovers a box of letters with an eerie connection to her grandmother’s past, uncovering a family secret buried deep in time. As the weather worsens and their supplies dwindle, bizarre events begin to escalate.
With Alistair’s help, Nora starts to unravel the mystery, but what she uncovers not only threatens to fracture her idea of reality but may place her and Alistair in mortal danger.

Wow! I absolutely loved this book and did not want it to end! This is my first book by Jessica Dodge, but it will not be my last.

I actually quite enjoyed this one even though there were a few things that really annoyed me. First off, the protagonist had never been out of the country before, yet she was able to take an impromptu trip to Scotland without there ever being mention of a passport? Then, I’ve been to Great Britain and anybody else who has understands that traditional coffee makers are not a thing in hotel rooms, vacation rentals, etc.. A good majority of people (and hotel rooms, vacation apartments, etc.) in GB...

This third book, with slightly familiar storylines and a crossover character, is a good read. It starts similarly to The Forgotten Witch and Misplaced Magic but has enough differences that it seems to be a loosely connected \"series\", not a \"rewrite\". It is a good story with romance, a dog, a bit of magic, and an acceptable ending. ) One person found this helpful
