Hourglass TRILOGY by Myra McEntire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is really amazing! Im so grateful that I received this trilogy from PageTurnersBlog.com 3 years ago! Thank you so much!
One hour to rewrite the past…
For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.
So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may also change her past.
Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should’ve happened? -GOODREADS
When I first received the book I really loved the design of the cover and how it felt. It has a soft feel to it. I’m also grateful that I received the trilogy. I don’t know what I would do if it was just one book. I’ve read all three and absolutely love them! The first book is about a 17-year-old girl named Emerson. After her parents die In a bad accident she starts seeing spirits. Her brother is very concerned for her so he brings in a consultant from a secret organization called “hourglass.” This consultant comes into her life and changes everything for her. In this book you will find adventure, magic, love and friendship.
This book Kept me at the edge of my seat and I didn’t put it down! I really recommend this book. I related to this book in many little ways. I connected with the characters in so many emotional ways that this experience has been truly wonderful. Here are my connections:
1. The loss of the parents. 2. the symbol of infinity which has been my doodle since I was little and I don’t know why or how. 3. there is reference in the novel about Stephen King’s book “The Shining” which I’m currently reading. 4. One of the characters has the ability of feeling/reading other people’s emotions/pain and I strangely connect to that. Strange connections! Coincidence? I don’t know! I totally recommend this book it’s fantastic!
BOOK 2
Part II of the Trilogy and it just keeps getting more exciting! I love all the characters and part two is narrated from a different character then the first book. I really enjoyed the story from Kaleb’s perspective. His special ability is that he’s able to share with us how each character is feeling. In this book there is adventure, love, fear and a lot of parts are very emotional!
“A threat from the past could destroy the future. And the clock is ticking.
Kaleb Ballard was never supposed to be able to see ripples – cracks in time. Are his powers expanding, or is something very wrong? Before he can find out, Jonathan Landers, the man who tried to murder his father, reappears. Why is he back, and what, or whom, does he want?
In the wake of Landers’ return, the Hourglass organization is given an ultimatum. Either they find Landers and the research he has stolen on the people who might carry the time gene, or time will be altered – with devastating results for the people Kaleb loves most.
Now Kaleb, Emerson, Michael, and the other Hourglass recruits have no choice but to use their unusual powers to find Landers. But where do they even start? And when? And even if they succeed, it may not be enough..”-GOODREADS
BOOK 3
Infinityglass by Myra McEntire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first trilogy that I’ve completed. I’m so happy that I own this trilogy because these books can be read over and over again.
No time like the present.
No time in the present.
No time left.
From the moment the Hourglass group violated the rules of the space time continuum to rescue a murdered loved one, time has been in flux. People from other centuries slide into our time, intruding into our space, threatening our world.
Frantically seeking a way to turn back this tide, the Hourglass begins a search for the legendary Infinityglass, tracking it to the city of New Orleans, a place where the past rests easily with the present.
Quiet, reliable Dune, the group’s favourite geek, is selected to travel to the Crescent City and somehow retrieve the renowned object.
But there’s a problem.
Because the Infinityglass is not an object, it’s a person.
A beautiful, headstrong dancer named Hallie, a girl so enticing Dune can’t take his eyes off her.
And time is not on her side. -GOODREADS
