Summary

Their past is not what they think it is....

Thrown back in time after the spells binding Whitehall School together nearly collapsed, Emily finds herself in the days of Lord Whitehall. But everything she knows about the past is a lie. The Whitehall Commune is in hiding from a great and terrible foe, while some of the legendary founders bicker like children and others call on deadly and untrustworthy entities with agendas of their own.

Desperately seeking a way back to her own time, her mere presence a boon and a curse to established history, Emily is drawn into a conflict against both rogue wizards and a mysterious force intent on exterminating all magicians before the future school can take shape. But as deadly powers converge on the castle, her time is running out...and, deep beneath Old Whitehall, something dark and dangerous is about to be born.

Absolutely brilliant! Couldn’t stop listening!

Would you listen to Past Tense again? Why?

This book is one of my favourites in the series by far! It was so exciting I couldn’t turn it off I lost so much sleep! It was so satisfying & I was gutted when it ended! i wanted to know so much more about the characters from the past and what happened to them but the author tied up their stories quite well in the end.

What other book might you compare Past Tense to, and why?

It’s hard to compare this to any other book as the story was so original with excellent twists and turns.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed every chapter of this book but the ones with lord wolf & Emily creating the spellware for the nexus point wards was very interesting and clever.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Thrown into the past to save the future!

Any additional comments?

This was definitely my favourite book of the series; finding out how Whitehall school was created along with all the twists, turns, political infighting and past magical ability. The monsters from the past are extremely formidable & finding out how the mimic’s were created was really unexpected and cleverly executed.
