Also appears on my blog, The YA Kitten! I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

Light bulbs and appliances exploded because two people loved each other so much and had such chemistry. Someone made a glass fog up with their hands even though it's impossible. A girl could not stop talking about how hot her guy was long enough to get anything done. I tore my hair out. And all of that was just in Hourglass. Why did I read on? I hoped Timepiece would be an improvement since it's entirely i More...

My only reaction to this book: meh.

I think I couldn't enjoy this book partly because I remember next to nothing from Hourglass and didn't have the time or patience to reread it again, and partly because I didn't much care for Kaleb's character.

Too many rules. There are way too many rules about time traveling, and I couldn't keep all of them straight. For the first half of the book, I was just wondering, Who's Dune? Who's Nathan (actually, I still am not too sure who Nathan is). What's duronium More...

When I finished Hourglass I knew there was a sequel planned, but I had no idea it would not be told from our original narrator, Emerson's, POV. Timepiece continues the story of Hourglass, but this time from Kaleb's POV. This was especially fun because Kaleb is a classic bad-boy! To hear his flippant and flirtatious comments throughout had me cracking up.

When we pick up the story, "rips," visions of the past or future, are appearing everywhere and with increasing magnitude and frequency. Not onl More...

Go ahead and be jealous. I won't judge you. :)

Kaleb takes over from Emerson to narrate Timepiece. After Emerson and her friends changed history to go back in time to save Kaleb's father from death they caused a disruption in the space time continuum to. Their actions catch up to them, when Kaleb and the Hourglass gang receive a warning from a man named Poe to find Jack Landers and repair the natural order of things. If they fail they'll be killed.

-The first half of the book is spent on Kaleb's man-pain, his mummy and daddy issues, his jealo More...

I am not in the "book swoon" club. I am not a romance-driven reader. I am also not a big fan of books in which teenagers decide they've met the Love Of Their Lives, but that's probably because I'm grateful everyday that I don't have to live with any decisions that I made when I was that age. (I also think it sets young readers up for disappointment, but that is a topic for another day...) So, why am I reviewing a book that many readers view as straight-up-romance? Because I think it's about a lo More...

The best first line of a book ever!!! Not going to tell you what it is, but once you crack the spine you will love it! Just had to start off saying that. I love love loved Hourglass, and I could not wait to dig in to Timepiece. It was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I was not disappointed! I will say that there was very little recap of Hourglass, and since it had been so long since I had read it, my brain took a bit to remember all More...

More time traveling awesomeness for all of us who loved Hourglass? Hell yeah! True this one wasn't as awesome as Hourglass was in my opinion, but it was still a solid, and fast paced, sequel. No "Sophomore read lull" for this series.

The main difference in this installment is that Kaleb Ballard is the narrator instead of Emerson. The thing is that I loved Hourglass mainly because of Emerson, she was a very kick ass heroine and having her gone as main cha More...

"Timepiece is a fast-paced story told in a sharp, focused, and thorough male voice."

Last year, when I picked up the gorgeous-covered book titled Hourglass, I was stunned by McEntire's rich, gorgeous prose and structural ability for a debut author. It was completely amazing, and Myra was instantly catapulted into the YA scene with her mix of wit and action, hilarity and danger, all wrapped up in one in the amazing first book. When the announcement came out that book two, Timepiece, would be told More...

Surely, I’m not the only one who gets those oh-noes-butterflies in her stomach when starting a sequel. But, it’s exactly how I felt when I opened the first page of Timepiece. I always wonder what will become of my much loved characters; in this case, I shouldn’t have worried. You see, this story is in Kaleb’s point-of-view and as the resident bad boy of Hourglass, let’s just say he makes for an interesting read.

One of the many things I loved about the f More...

Timepiece is the follow up to Hourglass. In Hourglass we met Emerson and Michael, two people with the ability to see rips or time ripples (think ghosts). The Hourglass is an institute that studies these sorts of paranormal occurrences and it was taken over when the founder, Liam Ballard, was murdered. After successfully going back in time to bring him back, Emerson and Michael are on the look out for the murderer, Jack Landers, and Liam's son, Kaleb is pining for Emerson.

Timepiece is told from K More...

A suspenseful, action packed sequel, laced with with sizzling Southern romance, and plenty of snark, Timepiece took everything I loved about Hourglass and upped it a whole new level. Narrated from my favorite character from this series, Kaleb, this book is packed full of humor, plenty of time traveling action and plot twists that kept me holding on to this book until I finished it. Not that I wanted this book to end either. Myra has created these characters I've come to love, worry about and car More...

*Review based on the ARC*

"Anything taken can be returned. Anything given can be destroyed."

Timepiece, by Myra McEntire, is the second installment in the Hourglass series. This time around the story is told by 17 year old Kaleb Ballard, son of Liam and Grace Walker who lies in a coma after events of Hourglass. Kaleb is an empath. He can sense people's emotions as well as their timelines.

Timepiece also focuses on the growing relationship between Kaleb and Lily Pill More...

Absolute genius!!! I didn't think Myra could top Hourglass but she did. I'm blown away!! More detailed review to come.

6/6/12
On several occasions I have declared my love and adoration for Hourglass by Myra McEntire. More than once I offered to sell my soul for an ARC of the sequel to Hourglass, Timepiece. Luckily I did not have to actually sell my soul to get my hands on a copy. It turns out you just have to have really awesome friends who know of your obsession and take pity on you.

Those of yo More...

Such a good sequel.

My most Favorite thing about Timepiece is that it is told from Kaleb's POV. I had a crush on him in Hourglass, so I was super excited to find out he was getting his own book. I really liked how much his character grew in this one. And we find out more of how he holds so much guilt over things that have happen that were out of his control. Also I was happy to see that he gets a girl too.

Michael and Emerson are in this book, but not as much as I thought they would be. I did enjo More...

Timepiece was just as great as Hourglass if not better.
Loved that this was in Kaleb point of view since he was one of my favorite charactes in Hourglass. I loved him even more.
Fans of Emerson and Michael will be pleased to know that they're in this and as adorable as ever.
The plot is non-stop action, the sci-fi/ time travel was such a blast to read about and I loved learning more about everyones gift.
The writing pieces everything so perfectly.
Fans who enjoyed the first book will want to read i More...

This review taken from my blog: www.tracyebanghart.com

This series is all about blending genres: time travel, scifi, adventure, romance...and Myra McEntire does a fabulous job getting the mix just right. It took me a few pages to get into TIMEPIECE because it picks right up in the middle of the action and it had been a long time since I'd read HOURGLASS, but once I'd refamiliarized myself with the characters and the world, I was caught up and enjoying the ride.

Where much of HOURGLASS is about dis More...

If you know me at all, you know the one thing I ask of young adult as a genre is MORE TIME TRAVEL. So the fact that I held off on reading this series is somewhat mind-boggling. I mean, seriously, what was I thinking? Well, the problem’s been fixed now because I am caught up! (And desperately wanting Infinityglass.) And if you haven’t read Hourglass yet, check out Caitlin’s review HERE.

First off, this book is from Kaleb’s POV, not Emerson’s. I liked Kaleb in Hourglass and was really interested to More...

3.5 stars

If I had to give you one piece of advice regarding the Hourglass series, it would be to wait until they're all out and then read all three books at once. Or, plan re-reads if you simply can't wait (like me). Because my biggest problem with Timepiece is that I was confused for a large portion of this book. The plot is very convoluted; events are referenced that happened in the past, but since this is a time travel series, they didn't necessarily happen as far in the past as one would thi More...

What a fabulous follow up to a stellar series opener! McEntire didn't slow her pace down and most definitely did not give her readers a chance to get compliant and think that all would end well just because we wanted it to. Her characters were once again put to test after test and more often than not had to figure things out for themselves without much assistance to be had from those around them with more experience. It was every man for himself so to speak, and the newest recruits of the Hourgl More...

I had never read Hourglass until I saw Timepiece on Netgalley. It was on my mountainous TBR, but I had just never remembered to get a copy. Once I got auto-approved for this, I requested it from my library, waited (im)patiently, and read it within a day. Then read Timepiece the very next day.

I don't want to do a synopsis because I feel like anything I write will be very spoiler-y. So I'm going to skip that part and just write my opinions on the book, hopefully without telling anything about what More...

A 3.5 star book. Well written, internally consistent and a nice balance of action and emotion; a good example of paranormal YA fiction. I read the book in one sitting, when I really should have been doing other things. Darn! LOL. Now I'm banned from reading for the rest of the week.

I've seen a couple of "yuk" reviews for this book. I don't agree with them. This is a good book in its genre. It's not high literaure, but it's not trying to be. It's a good, solid entertaining read, with an unusual p More...

Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales

Quick & Dirty: The plot and humor were more engaging in this installment, and seeing everything from Kaleb’s perspective made for a great change of pace.

Opening Sentence: Maybe getting drunk and dressing up like a pirate for the masquerade was a bad idea.

Excerpt: No

The Review:

By telling the second installment of the Hourglass trilogy from Kaleb’s perspective, McEntire gave us a fresh voice to fall into. We get to see Em and Michael together, happy and func More...

4 STARS
I have not read Hourglass by Myra McEntire. I would recommend reading it first. I got confused in some parts and feel Like I missed something. Timepiece is fine by itself though.
With Timepiece and Hourglass being books that jumped into the past and things that happened once but was changed things get confused in the timeline.
Kaleb Ballard is one of the key players in the book. He can feel what others feel. He drinks to escape but he is only a teenager. His family is messed up. His father More...

The second installment in the Hourglass series, Timepiece introduces Kaleb Ballard as the narrator. Things have been a little crazy since the last book, especially Kaleb's relationships with his friends and family. He's still going out, getting drunk, spiraling downhill and self-destructing. But, Kaleb has more to worry about lately. The time ripples are getting worse and more intrusive, there's a girl he just can't win over, and everything he knows may cease to exist if Kaleb doesn't find Jack More...

The whole gang is back in this follow-up to Hourglass. They've noticed time rips are becoming more prevalent and erratic. This coincides with the return of Jack Landers, the man responsible for much death and manipulation. Emerson, Michael, and Kaleb are given an ultimatum by another man though. He represents a group that want Jack for themselves. The Hourglass group find themselves involved in something way beyond what they ever thought could be. Kaleb will have to learn to work with Emerson's More...

Timepiece is the second book in the Hourglass series by Myra McEntire. If you've read Hourglass then You. Must. Read. Timepiece. It's incredible, and takes you on all kinds of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Timepiece is told from the point of view of Kaleb Ballard, Emerson and Michael's friend. At first I wasn't so sure I liked the change of POV from Emerson to Kaleb, but wow! Let's just say Kaleb did not let me down. I will ad More...

Timepiece is every bit as exciting as Hourglass.

Timepiece is told from Kaleb's perspective. I was kind of "meh" about Kaleb in Hourglass. I was surprised at all the reviews I read spouting love for Kaleb. And I was like, "really?" I didn't see it. But, he redeemed himself in Timepiece.


It was confusing for me for a while. I kept thinking that "I" was Emerson -- not Kaleb. Once I got used to that, I was OK. Timepiece starts out with a bang! First, Jack appears at a party and disappears before anyo More...

Great minds think alike…and avid readers often read the same books! So…when we discovered that we’d requested the same book from Net Galley, we decided to compare our thoughts and share them with you.

Ana: I’m going to come right out and say it…I liked Timepiece much more than Hourglass! I thought there was more adventure and mystery this time. The story was fast-moving as pieces of the puzzle fell into place on a regular basis and helped me understand the bigger picture. With a bad guy who wasn’ More...

I loved the first book in this series, Hourglass, so much and I was really glad that I had ordered both books at the same time. I was dying to know what was going to happen next and it only took me a few days to pick up this one after finishing Hourglass.

Something I said in my review of Hourglass was that I wanted to see more of Kaleb and Lily. Well, that’s exactly what I got in this book. Not having read the synopsis for this one, I didn’t realise that the story was actually going to be told f More...
