That cover!! Isn't it so unique? I really love it... it's perfection.
You know how sometimes you build a book up in your head and you're afraid to read it because you don't want to be disappointed? Yeah. Hourglass was one of those books for me. I've actually had it sitting around here forever. I wish I had read it sooner!
I just loved this book! There was something about it that really struck the right chord with me. Is that how you write out that saying? Chord? Cord? I fail at English. Anyways, I really enjoyed Hourglass so much!
I really love Emerson's voice (she's the main character). I laughed along at her little jokes she would say here and there in her head. McEntire did a fabulous job with her! Emerson and I, we really clicked. She's kind of quirky... I love quirky and weird. I think we'd be great friends in real life.
The storyline was really neat too. I liked her love interest, and I liked the "ghosts" she sees. I didn't find the story predictable at all, and wanted to read more and more! I'd go into the plot more, but I don't want to ruin anything! If you haven't read this yet, I say you definitely should.
I'm now a fan of Myra McEntire. I've already read the next book in the series, Timepiece; Review for that one to come soon! Let's just say that I can't wait to read more by this author!
Fabulous.
Thanks for this review! I've been thinking about reading this and I'll make sure I eventually pick it up. I just have to get through the rest of my books first (: lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked HOURGLASS so much - it's one of my favorite 2011 reads and I can't wait to read my eARC of TIMELESS. It sounds like you enjoyed that one as well, so I'm hoping my high expectations for it won't ruin it. :D

I guess I will have to get this book one day. I haven't had the most interest in this book, not sure why. I really don't even know much about it, but I have seen it everywhere.
