The book fluctuates between contemporary and historical romance under an umbrella of the supernatural and it does so beautifully. I have been a fan of Ethan Day’s books but A Token of Time represents a departure from the light comedic fiction I have come to expect from him. I read it twice before sitting down to write this review, not because I needed to, but because I wasn’t ready to let go of Zachary and Marc and all who come with them, past and present. This powerful token will change Zachary’s life and those around him if Zachary has the courage to use it. It seems that Marc Castle, a famous movie star from the 50s has died and left Zachary the entire Castle estate, including an ancient relic. As Zachary tries to determine his next step regarding his family, he receives a phone call from a lawyer. Zachary is consumed by his grief, refusing to leave his apartment until Dave, his shop assistant, pulls him out of his house and back into their store. Until a bullet shatters their lives and Nick dies in Zachary’s arms. A benefactor appears out of the blue, offering them a store for their antique business and a place to call home. Then Zachary and Nick land in Los Angeles and their luck seems to change.
Living as fugitives has been hard and each time they think they are safe, the Hamiltons find them yet again. To “return it” is to die, so Zachary and his love, Nick, have been on the run from the Hamilton family since they were teenagers.
Zachary doesn’t want his gift and his family doesn’t think he should have it either. He has them as well and it has cost him everything. Zachary Hamilton comes from a family endowed with special gifts.
