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 had Hourglass on my shelf at home for a while and I have to say that I am over the moon that I finally got to sit down and read it. Myra McEntire has written a wonderful story. In fact, I think it's so wonderful I can't figure out why it gets less than a 4 star rating on goodreads.com.

Hourglass centers around Emerson Cole whom at seventeen years old feels like a complete head case because she can see things that nobody else sees. She sees apparitions and has been seeing them since her parents death. Her older brother Thomas has been trying to help her for years, finally resorting to hiring a consultant with the Hourglass, a secret organization that specializes in time related abilities.

Michael Weaver makes Emerson feel safe and does everything he can to show her that she is not crazy. Michael and Emerson are just two people who posses the time gene and are known as Travelers. When two Travelers get together, they can move backwards and forwards in time with the help of a little dark matter. But they have to work in pairs and when they pair up there is electricity that fills the air around them. Their connection is so electric it literally blows out light bulbs and any electronics when they touch one another.

Michael needs Emerson's help to go back in time to set right something that once went horribly wrong, but they will have to be extra careful not to set the space continuum out of order. Everything must stay as close to what occurred six months ago as they can.

I'm becoming a fan more and more of books like this. A little science fiction, a little paranormal aspect and throw in a really adorable romance with just enough sizzle between your two main characters to keep your pulse racing and you've got yourself a hit in my opinion. The Hourglass is filled with wonderful characters. Obviously I love Emerson and Michael but we also meet Kaleb, Lilly, Dune and Nate in this story. Each has a wonderful background that gets shared as the series progresses. Pick up Timepiece to continue the Hourglass trilogy and look for my review shortly!

It just keeps getting better and better. I just can't get enough of this story. I was completely blown away when I realized that Timepiece is not from Emerson's or Michael's point of view. It's from Kaleb's point of view. I will say it felt a little strange at first, walking around inside Kaleb's head when we'd just come to fall in love with Em and Michael but this was a nice change of pace.

Kaleb is the tatted up and pierced, brooding bad boy of the Hourglass. He's got a strong heart but when his father died in a fire and his went into a coma, Kaleb turned to tattoos, booze and piercing parlors to deal with his grief. Then he turned to Emerson who fell in love with Michael, Kaleb's best friend. Now Kaleb's father, Liam, is back from the dead after Emerson and Michael's heroic rescue in Hourglass and Kaleb feels like he's still playing second son behind Michael. His father never trusts him with new information and rarely if ever asks his opinion, he just treats him like the child he once was instead of the capable young adult he has grown into.

The Hourglass team is back and they are fighting to repair the space continuum and try to put down Jack Landers in the process. Jack is responsible for all of their troubles but he holds over their heads the fact that he is now able to steal memories from each of them the way he did to Emerson when her parents were killed and likewise the way he stole Kaleb's mother's memories, causing her ultimately to sink into a coma from despair over Kaleb's father's death.

The stakes have never been higher for the Hourglass team. Kaleb ends up having to work with a girl who despises him for trying to put the moves on her at a Halloween party. Lilly Garcia is Emerson's best friend, but she is a feisty little thing who as fate would have it can locate things without seeing them, all she needs is a map. Lilly's locating skills and Kaleb's empathy create a dynamic duo and a force to be reckoned with where Jack Landers is concerned.

I love how the story has progressed from Hourglass. I loved how Kaleb and Lilly work together with their quick with and often playful banter back and forth. Their sizzle is subtle but it is there and I love how they both work it out in their head as to what is happening between them even though they still claim to dislike one another. I love how the team is working harder than ever together to try to right the wrongs with the time continuum and how hard Kaleb is fighting to save his mother's memories and also to protect Emerson from any more of Jack's wrath where her time line is concerned. Kaleb would do anything for his friends and that's what makes him one of my favorite characters in this series!

I am so glad that I read the Hourglass all at once and did not have to wait for any of the books to release because waiting would have made me crazy, that's how much I love this series. Myra McEntire has created such a unique and beautiful story and she makes you feel for each of her characters. Every emotion is there on the page and you're feeling it right along with the characters of her stories.

Infinityglass picks up where Timepiece leaves off. The Hourglass team has just found out that Lily has located the Infinityglass, something long believed to be a myth in the world of Horology. Dune is the hero of our story this time and he has been obsessed with all things relating to the Infinityglass for years. But he's stunned speechless when he finds out that it is in fact not a thing at all but rather a person. Not just any person, Hallie is a seventeen year old girl living in New Orleans who loves to dance and as he later finds out, can transmogrify or alter her appearance at will.

The Hourglass team is lead this time by Dune to New Orleans to protect the Infinityglass from falling into the wrong hands. They must figure out how to activate the time gene within Hallie and figure out how they can harness her power in order to right the time continuum before they all cease to exist.

What a powerful ending and such a fabulous way to wrap up this amazing trilogy. I was reading furiously this morning with bated breath but kept trying to slow down and savor all of the elements that have brought the characters to this time and place. It was a wild ride and I was sorry to see it end but as they say, "All good things must come to an end" and indeed they did. Bravo Myra, I am now and forever will be a fan of yours.
