Waiting On Wednesday - #23: Timepiece by Myra McEntire

{ ++ }  This weekly event/feature is graciously hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine. You know that feeling you get when you're browsing upcoming books on Goodreads or Amazon and one strikes your fancy?  Maybe you squee.  Maybe you giggle to yourself.  Maybe you bounce in your seat. We all get excited (I do a combination of all three of the previous choices...) about new books, be it a favorite author you're familiar with, or someone whose work you'll be reading for the first time.  Jill's meme gives us the chance to spotlight what we are anxiously awaiting this week.

I'm Waiting On...

A threat from the past could destroy the future. And the clock is ticking...

Kaleb Ballard's relentless flirting is interrupted when Jack Landers, the man who tried to murder his father, timeslips in and attacks before disappearing just as quickly. But Kaleb has never before been able to see time travelers, unlike many of his friends associated with the mysterious Hourglass organization. Are Kaleb's powers expanding, or is something very wrong? 


Then the Hourglass is issued an ultimatum. Either they find Jack and the research he's stolen on the time gene, or time will be altered with devastating results. 


Now Kaleb, Emerson, Michael, and the other Hourglass recruits have no choice but to use their unusual powers to find Jack. But where do they even start? And when? And even if they succeed, it may not be enough... 


The follow-up to Hourglass, Timepiece blends the paranormal, science fiction, mystery, and suspense genres into a nonstop thrill ride where every second counts.

Why It's Worth Waiting On:  Is this a serious question?  Oh wait, I'm the one asking it.  Okay, honest answer (as opposed to the fangirl answer which is IT'S TIMEY-WIMEY AND ABOUT HOT GUYS AND EM AND WIBBLY-WOBBLY STUFF!) is: Myra is an excellent writer whose characters resonate genuinely, and who knows how to ramp up the action and romance.  Plus, it's about time travel AND IT'S FROM KALEB'S POINT OF VIEW, OMG.  (Sorry, slipped back into fangirl mode for a sec.  HEE.)
