I received ARC copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 I had such high expectations for Passenger. All the buzz surrounding it, beautiful cover and captivating blurb promised an exceptional read. Unfortunately the book did not deliver it for me. The story had such a promise. There is time travel, romance, privateer ship, search for a mysterious artifact and a shady powerful family with a secret agenda that all could make Passenger an exciting and action packed read. Alas it was not the case. The writing is slow paced with very long descriptive passages (see what I did here) with no real action. The romance between main heroes, Etta and Nicholas, is lackluster and random. I did not feel the chemistry between Etta and Nicholas. I did like the fact that Passenger has diverse characters and main character is of mixed race. I think I would enjoy this book more if my expectations were not so high. This book is marketed as Outlander for YA but it really is not in the same league as Outlander.
