Title: Hourglass
Author: Myra McEntire
Release Date: June 14, 2011
Publisher: Egmont
From Goodreads:
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
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 have happened?
Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.
Whoa. Did you guys notice how she's walking down the wall to the floor?? Spooky. And who calls their daughter Emerson?? It's certainly an interesting name.
I want to read this so badly! Great pick, it's been on my wishlist for so long - I really don't want to wait for June anymore. :D
