Stars: 4
Hourglass was fun, interesting and very well thought out. I anticipated reading this book and I'm so glad I jumped on it.It started a little slow at first but I think it is partly due to interuptions. The writing is easy to follow and the timeline of events is precise, well executed.
Quote:(PAGE 8,e-book)
"You know, Scarlett, Rhett didn't give a damn, and frankly, I don't either."
I loved that quote, reminding me of one of my favorite childhood movies. It was relevant due to the fact that Emerson our protagonist can see ghosts (rips as she calls them). Since her parents passed away in an accident, Emerson now is living with her brother Thomas and his wife Dru. Both Thomas and Dru are fantastic characters.There really is an undeniable love there between themselves and with Emerson. I love that they took her in under their wings.
Emerson has been through a whole lot of tramatic events in her young life and she has been close lipped about not taking her medication to her brother and Dru. Her brother has been trying to find someone to help Emerson with her particular "problem". The only person Emerson really talks to is her friend Lily. She is the only one who has been there for her and accepts the way she is. Lily also has a fun sense of humor and has a little secret of her own...
Dru and Thomas restore old buildings which is unfortunate for Emerson due to the fact that people from the past seem to be popping up around her. Thomas had a contact who might be able to help Emerson. He works for a place called Hourglass.
In walks her so called "consultant", Michael Weaver. (He sounds like a super yummy, attractive guy and oh so swoon worthy). There seems to be a connection between them somewhat early on in the story. Michael doesn't want to mix business with pleasure and throughout the story he reminds Emerson even though deep down you know there are intense feelings being harbored.
I got a little agitated with the "no fraternizing' issue, but after I was further along in the book it made sense. As much as I wanted them to unleash on each other, I understood why Michael had to stay strong. You will understand as well once you read the story.
Emerson's eyes are opened up to a whole lot more than she ever could have imagined. There's a creeper named Jack who appears in her room, a mysterious death, time travel, scandal, romance, and so much more.
This story will captivate you and bring a few giggles too. All in all, a very good story and I would recommend it to anyone.
The story unfolds beautifully and there's some unexpected twists that will have you gasping out. The ending was everything I could have hoped for and more. I admit, I had tears in my eyes, but happy tears.
