"Two powerful love stories, a couple of nasty types, Welsh/Celtic history, Viking folklore and a hot archaeologist as the hero - what more could you want? Fabulous!"

"Wow!! I just loved this book. It felt like I was taken back to the Viking era. I want my own Viking!!"

"A Viking delight! Definitely a book where you can lose yourself in the story and imagine yourself in the two heroines' shoes. Next book please…"

"Beautifully written and well researched, Echoes of the Runes took me by the hand and led me into a time of danger, passion, and ultimately… love ?"

"I found myself holding my breath as this wonderful tale unfolded. If you like an intriguing and compelling dual-time historical novel, look no further…"

"Writing a timeslip story which keeps you engrossed in both the ancient and modern story isn't easy but I'm pleased to say Echoes of the Runes is one of the best I've read for a long time."

"A wonderful story rich in Viking history, modern day intrigue, adventure and romance. Highly recommended!"

"I was compelled to read on as I was caught up in the adventure, intrigue and romance of the dual timelines."

"A dual narrative… enhanced by elements of magical realism so plausible and engaging, this book will leave you breathless. Enthralling and romantic."

"Wow! This book should come with a warning! It's almost as addictive as chocolate! 5*"

"Addictive! You always know you're going to get a good read from Ms Courtenay, but I reckon this is one of her best."

"A well-developed plot and very likeable protagonists… add to this not one but two love stories and this reader is a very, very happy person!"

"I loved it! Every twist and turn of the drama. I felt I was living on that Viking settlement. A fabulous adventure, with characters I loved!"

"Two seamlessly interwoven love stories for the price of one! From the times of the Vikings to modern day London, Christina Courtenay's master class of spine tingling timeslip is as sparklingly authentic - and page-turning - as ever."

"Christina Courtenay weaves the threads of her contemporary and Viking love stories together expertly and the novel moves along at a cracking pace. The characters are appealing and the rural Swedish setting is engaging."
