Tennessee is next up on the YA book tour with Myra McEntire's Hourglass.
Emerson Cole has a little problem, she just happens to see people who are not actually there. She doesn't call them ghost, but knows they are not of her time. This caused huge problems for her four years ago when her parents died and she had a mental breakdown.
After a few years at a boarding school, she is back in her home town in Tennessee. Her brother has found someone from the Hourglass foundation to help her with her problem, Micheal Weaver. Emerson finds herself immediately drawn to Micheal, even though he really is trying to keep their relationship professional.
Micheal explains to her what she sees are rifs in time. Emerson only sees rifs from the past, while Micheal can see rifs from the future. He explains to her that seeing these rifs are only a side effect of her true ability. Turns out, she can time travel to the past, and if she works with Micheal, the possibilities are endless, and who doesn't love a good time traveling story.
I like Emerson's character. She is spunky and funny, and even though she been through so much, she still has a big heart. Micheal makes me a little nuts at times. He can't decide if her wants to give in to his desire for Emerson or keep her at arms length, but still gets jealous of her talking to other guys.
One of the favorite characters was Kaleb. He was funny and caring, despite being a little bit of a drunk at first. And good news, it looks like he takes the lead in the next book. I, also, loved Emerson's best friend, Lily. She is loyal to Emerson, even when she went through all her issues. Plus she is Cuban, like my vet school bestie.
Oh, and bonus points to Ms. McEntire for both a Dr. Who and Harry Potter reference.
