I was provided a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.Aleks Sager’s Daemon by Lucinda Elliot :  “.. his curse worked backward as well as forwards because time is circular, not linear.” Rick says to Aleks in reference to an evil curse placed upon them by the malicious Magus. Aleks Sager is a rather interesting man, whose life seems to emulate Pushkin.  In this historical fiction meets ghost story, Miss Lucinda Elliot creates this amazing set of characters that seem to run amuck and get in all sorts of trouble.To be completely honest with you all, I didn’t get hooked in this book until I was about 30% through. Up until that point, I was just kinda muddling through, but once I got sucked in that was it. I loved the romance between Natalie and Aleks. I even liked the romance between Ivan and Claribelle. (as odd as it was, him being the character and all… you have to read the story to get it) What sealed the deal for me is the humor. In the middle of this paranormal mystery is humor, action, human kindness and even hope.  This tale isn’t for everyone, but I do believe that those that pick this up will enjoy it.
