Time travel is probably my most favourite of sci-fi themes. So when I saw time travel plus that gorgeous cover, I knew I'd probably love this story. Love it? Not so much. Like it? Yes.The story is about Emerson, a 17 year old girl who is an orphan being looked after by her brother and his wife. ...

See my other reviews at Whitley ReadsIt takes quite a bit for me to DNF a book once I get past the first chapter. A merely bad book won’t do it; no, the book has to actively piss me off before I’ll put it down halfway through.Hourglass pissed me off.It was an accumulation of things, really. A line...

Hourglass is officially an all time favorite! I loved this book and I am excited about this series. It was a refreshing read because it was something different... maybe it was different just for to me... but that is what counts for me. I haven't read anything like it and I loved it!Emerson see's dea...

Erm... I picked this book for our book club to read and I guess I should say... sorry guys. We haven't discussed it yet, and it's not bad, but it isn't the caliber we are used to. We probably all should have just re-read Ruby Red.Hourglass is unnecessarily long. For a time travel novel, it certainly...

★★★½Time travel is typically a concept that makes my brain hurt -- the alterations to the time line, the paradoxes, the endless, mind-numbing theories. But even though McEntire tries to keep the logistics of this world relatively simple, I still couldn't wrap my head around some of the conclusion. ...

i would have liked it better if they explored the whole time travel part of the book better.. especially the connection and the ability to go into the future as well.

Someone please pinch me. I'm pretty sure I've died and gone to book heaven and, if Hourglass is what I can look forward to, I'm not coming back! Wow, just wow. I apologize in advance for all the rambling that will ensue. This book is so fantastic, so amazing, that I just cannot seem to express exact...

Interesting. This book wasn't what I was expecting. The ending ... wow. That part was pulled off very well, with lots of twists so that I never really knew what was going to happen. This book is a little more intense than my usual, it's not something that is just quick and fun. There's a lot of seri...
