If you haven’t started reading the Timeless series, I urge you to take the leap and experience the amazing world of time crossers that Gabrielle Meyer has created. These books really are best read in order as there would be some big spoilers about which lifetimes were chosen by previous characters and you might miss the importance of some special little details that the author has included to tie the books together.
I have loved this entire series so far. I was nervous to read this book, though. Having read the first two, I expected that it would be an emotional journey. A good one! And it was. I was simply a bit nervous to read about these girls going through the witch trials and being in a situation that was so dangerous for them. However, the author handled it so well. I think it helped to be switching back and forth between the time periods and the girls perspectives.
From the first to the last, I was enamored with Hope and Grace’s stories. Both time periods held my interest equally, as did the potential love interests. When I wondered how the author would wrap things up, I thought of potential ways things could work out. And they would have been satisfactory, I think. However, the way the author actually tied up everything was way beyond simply satisfactory. It left me with a happy glow and very eager for the next book in the series. I loved the epilogue so much! And, as it was with the previous stories, I loved the way the author entwined a beautiful faith journey for both girls.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Grace and Hope are identical twin sisters born with the ability to time-cross together between 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, and 1912 New York City. As their twenty-fifth birthday approaches, they will have to choose one life to keep and one to leave behind forever–no matter the cost.
In 1692, they live and work in their father’s tavern, where they must watch helplessly as the witch trials unfold in their village, threatening everyone. With the help of a handsome childhood friend, they search for the truth behind their mother’s mysterious death, risking everything to expose a secret that could save their lives–or be their undoing.
In 1912, Hope dreams of becoming one of the first female pilots in America, and Grace works as an investigative journalist, uncovering corruption and injustice. After their parents’ orphanage is threatened by an adversary, they enter a contest to complete a perilous cross-country flight under the guidance of a daring French aviator.
The sisters have already decided which timeline they will choose, but an unthinkable tragedy complicates the future they planned for themselves. As their birthday looms, how will they determine the lives–and loves–that are best for both of them?
