Infinityglass (Hourglass #3)
by: Myra McEntire
EgmontUSA, 336 pages
Expected publication: July 9, 2013
The stakes have risen even higher in this third book in the Hourglass series.
The Hourglass is a secret organization focused on the study of manipulating time, and its members — many of them teenagers -have uncanny abilities to make time work for them in mysterious ways. Inherent in these powers is a responsibility to take great care, because altering one small moment can have devastating consequences for the past, present, and future. But some time travelers are not exactly honorable, and sometimes unsavory deals must be struck to maintain order.
With the Infinityglass (central to understanding and harnessing the time gene) at large, the hunt is on to find it before someone else does.
But the Hourglass has an advantage. Lily, who has the ability to locate anything lost, has determined that the Infinityglass isn't an object. It's a person. And the Hourglass must find him or her first. But where do you start searching for the very key to time when every second could be the last?

I have loved both books in the Hourglass series so far. The first book we got to read from Emerson's P.O.V. and in the second we got to read from Kaleb's. I am super excited to find out which character we're going to get in this book. (I vote Michael! But I think we might get Lily's.) I love time travel and I personally thought both novels so far were very well done.
As always, what are you guys waiting on? I need to add to my already psychotically long TBR list!

If you like time travel, it's such a great series! And I think the covers are so neat! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOkay. The cover has me so excited. Like, I freaking love it. And yet, I haven't read the other two books in this series yet! What the heck is wrong with me?!
ReplyDeleteKelley- you've got to read them! They are great reads!
DeleteThe covers of this series are SO gorgeous, and what with those, plus the timey-wimey plot, I have no idea why I haven't picked up these books yet. What's wrong with me?! Definitely need to read them before Infinityglass comes out.

Yes! They are really great and I love the whole time travel element. So cool!
DeleteThis cover kind of weirds me out. It's definitely intriguing and captivating, yet still a little eerie.

This was probably the strangest one out of them all!
DeleteI've actually never read this series! That needs to be fixed immediately. That cover freaks me out a little, that position does not look all that comfortable.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you SO need to read it! It's probably one of my favorites!! And yes, this cover was definitely a weird one!
DeleteOh wow! I saw this cover on Sugar & Snark's Cover Characteristics and thought is was wonderful. It's great to see the summary that goes along with it. This sounds like a really fun and thought-provoking series. Thank you so much for stopping by my WoW and sharing this one. I will be adding it to my to read list :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite series I've read. SO good! Yeah, this was a weird cover, lol.
DeleteCome to think of it - I haven't read Timepiece yet! Must rectify that :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Mmm. Timepiece. Gotta love Kaleb!!
DeleteThis series sounds really good. I will have to read the first 2 so I can read this one too! Adding to my TBR for sure. Thanks for stopping by my WOW!
ReplyDeleteChelsea @ Starbucks & Books Obsession
Definitely one of my favorite series!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Andrea! I LOVE this series!
DeleteI can't wait to read this one. I enjoyed the first one, was o.k. on the second, but I can't wait to see how it finishes. Thanks for visiting my WoW.
ReplyDeleteI did like first one better than the second, but I think it's because I liked Michael and Emerson a bit more than Kaleb.
DeleteGreat great pick! I can't believe I haven't picked up Hourglass yet! All the covers are amazing!
