This is a Youth Fiction Series, but I really enjoyed it. Who doesn't want to time travel back to Italy? You will feel like you are breathing in the Italian air....the atmosphere is rich & the characters are believable & engaging. Since I am big on age appropriate fiction, I would encourage parents to use discretion when purchasing this book for younger teen girls. Lisa wrote this series as an alternative to the Twilight series- for which I applaud her, loudly!- but as a result there is quite a bit of what I will call 'adult themed' situations in this series. Lisa is never explicit.
I admit to being largely out of touch to secular teen fiction, or what reared reading is in schools these days. If I had to give this book a rating, I would say 16+. But again, this depends on the maturity of the girl. :)
*this series is so popular that Lisa has now written 2 Ebook additions to the series to tie off character arcs.*

Back Cover of Waterfall (Book 1):
Gabriella has never spent a summer in Italy like this one.
Remaining means giving up all she’s known and loved … and leaving means forfeiting what she’s come to know—and love itself.
Remaining means giving up all she’s known and loved … and leaving means forfeiting what she’s come to know—and love itself.
Most American teenagers want a vacation in Italy, but the Bentarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives with their parents, famed Etruscan scholars, among the romantic hills. In Book One of the River of Time series, Gabi and Lia are stuck among the rubble of medieval castles in rural Tuscany on yet another hot, boring, and dusty archeological site … until Gabi places her hand atop a handprint in an ancient tomb and finds herself in fourteenth-century Italy. And worse yet, in the middle of a fierce battle between knights of two opposing forces.
And thus she comes to be rescued by the knight-prince Marcello Falassi, who takes her back to his father’s castle—a castle Gabi has seen in ruins in another life. Suddenly Gabi’s summer in Italy is much, much more interesting. But what do you do when your knight in shining armor lives, literally, in a different world?
