Timepiece An Hourglass Novel Myra McEntire Books

A suspenseful, action packed sequel, laced with sizzling Southern romance, and plenty of snark, Timepiece took everything I loved about Hourglass and upped it a whole new level. Narrated from my favorite character from this series, Kaleb, this book is packed full of humor, plenty of time traveling action and plot twists that kept me holding on to this book until I finished it. Not that I wanted this book to end either. Myra has created these characters I've come to love, worry about and care for. She's also created an incredibly enticing world, and engaging plot line that leaves me wanting more.

Oh Kaleb! I completely adored Kaleb in Hourglass, and fell in love with him even more in Timepiece. There's something (okay a lot of things) about this boy that I love. He's that southern gentleman who knows how to say all the right things, is down to earth, fun, and has this incredibly tough ulterior, though on the inside he's a little soft around the edges. I say that in a good way, because in Timepiece we get to see Kaleb in a different light than how we saw him through Emerson in Hourglass. That softer, more breakable part of him is what got to me the most. Okay, maybe it also made him a little bit more resistible, not to mention his inner dialogue and the things he says and does. His narration is spot one, and I loved that one moment he could have me feeling sorry for him and the next moment snort laughing over something he said.

The romance is sizzling in this book! I'm not just talking Michael and Emerson's ability to short out electronic devices when they kiss. This is after all Kaleb we're talking about, and the petite, fiery Lily who knows how to handle him and put him in his place. I'll admit that some part of me still secretly wanted Emerson to choose Kaleb over Michael. Not that Michael and Emerson don't make a lovely couple, because they do. I was rooting for Kaleb to have someone like Emerson, but that was until Lily came into Kaleb's picture. From the moment these two met it's tension, fireworks and a whole lot of snark and saying it how it is. You guys know how much I love that. These two are seriously awesome together, and I'm sure Kaleb would say their relationship is like an atomic fire ball.... see my interview with Kaleb to know why I referenced that.

Myra's writing is once again incredible. She makes everything around me disappear while I'm reading her books. It's not just the getting lost in her books that I love, but reading about her characters, uncovering the mystery of Jack Landers, and all that's going on, and reading about the rips and time travel abilities that some of the characters have. I also love that Myra doesn't just tell me about her series's time traveling and the costly effects it has on some of the characters, she also shows me. I love that when an author is able to both tell and show me what's going on. That adds to some of the books suspense with what happens in Timepiece.

I'm totally fascinated by Myra's world, and all that is going on there. Let me just say, there's a lot that happens in this book! I highly recommend picking this book up! It's definitely a perfect read for a lazy afternoon by the pool, floating on the river or hanging out inside with AC running.

Timepiece An Hourglass Novel Myra McEntire Books Reviews

Actual rating 3.5 stars

At first I felt duped – this wasn’t the continued story from Emmeron’s POV. I’d fallen in love with her in ‘Hourglass,’ and was really looking forward to more. Instead what I got was the story being picked up right where the last book ended, but with Kaleb’s narrative.

It is an easy read though. I was able to fly through this, and thank goodness, because it took the first half of the novel to get over my disappointment and get into Kaleb’s head. We still get the goodness of Em and Michael, but from a different perspective.

I have grown to like Kaleb, and was rooting for him by the end of the novel. A tattooed and pierced bad boy with a marshmallow heart.

Lily was a breath of fresh air as far as a love interest and heroines go. She wasn’t the reactionary teen we see a lot of in YA. She was level headed and sarcastic in a dark way, not in the exaggerated obvious pun sort of way. She really stole my heart and I was cheering for her and Kaleb from early on.

It’s not oversaturated on the love and heavy petting either. McEntire really builds her relationships and characters in a realistic and organic way; which is impressive given the landscape being warped from rips and alternate versions of time and space which kept changing. Em and Michael, Lily and Kaleb were fixed points amongst the chaos.

I’ve deducted a few marks for the slow pacing at the beginning, and the lack of story. There could have been more action or conflict packed into ‘Timepiece’ – it was easy and pleasant to read, but did not live up to the likes of ‘Hourglass.’

Although the writing isn’t fancy, it does allow you to speed through the book; but the way McEntire weaves a story is masterful. So many threads to keep track of… brilliant imagination come to life on the written page. Really makes me want to grab everything she’s ever written to add it to my library.

A thoroughly entertaining read, not as dark as ‘Hourglass,’ more of the timey-wimey things and a couple of plot twists I did not see coming, but leading us towards what should be a very interesting conclusion in ‘Infinityglass.’ (Which I must read asap!)
