After years of hard work, Matthew and Alex Graham have created a thriving home in the Colony of Maryland. About time, in Alex’s opinion, after far too many adventures she is really looking forward to some well-deserved peace and quiet.
A futile hope, as it turns out. Things start to heat up when Jacob, the third Graham son, absconds from his apprenticeship to see the world – especially as Jacob leaves behind a girl whom he has wed in a most irregular fashion.
Then there’s the infected matter of the fellow time traveller Alex feels obliged to help – no matter the risk. Worst of all, one day Philip Burley and his brothers resurface after years of absence. As determined as ever to make Matthew pay for every perceived wrong – starting with the death of their youngest brother – the Burleys play out a complicated cat and mouse game, and Alex is thrown back into an existence where her heart is constantly in her mouth, convinced as she is that one day the Burleys will achieve their purpose.
Will the Burleys succeed? And if they do, will the Graham family survive the exacted price?
Serpents in the Garden is the fifth book in Anna Belfrage’s time slip series featuring time traveller Alexandra Lind and her seventeenth century husband, Matthew Graham.

Buy the Book
Serpents In The Garden is book 5 in the Graham Saga. Now I have 4 more books I have have to read. I can't remember when I last read a time slip novel, but this one is full of beautiful imagery. I think this book would have been a bit easier of a read for me, if I had been able to read the first four books, however jumping in mid-series has never been anything that's deterred me from reading a book before. (I'm crazy like that)
What I loved the most about the this book (besides time travel, of course) were the characters...the good, the bad and the inbetween. You felt so connected to them. I also loved the period of time this book took place, which is funny, when I read historical romance, I really don't care for books set in early America, because I'm all about glamour and balls and high society, but Anna really brings the period to life well.
Oh and I can't forget to give some cover love to this book. This is truly one of the most beautiful covers I've seen in a long time.
I highly recommend this series!

About the Author
I was raised abroad, on a pungent mix of Latin American culture, English history and Swedish traditions. As a result I’m multilingual and most of my reading is historical – both non-fiction and fiction.
I was always going to be a writer – or a historian, preferably both. Instead I ended up with a degree in Business and Finance, with very little time to spare for my most favourite pursuit. Still, one does as one must, and in between juggling a challenging career I raised my four children on a potent combination of invented stories, historical debates and masses of good food and homemade cakes. They seem to thrive … Nowadays I spend most of my spare time at my writing desk. The children are half grown, the house is at times eerily silent and I slip away into my imaginary world, with my imaginary characters. Every now and then the one and only man in my life pops his head in to ensure I’m still there. I like that – just as I like how he makes me laugh so often I’ll probably live to well over a hundred.
I was always going to be a writer. Now I am – I have achieved my dream.

That's a tough question! I would like to go back to when my grandpa was a kid and meet all of those people he always had stories about.
