Wow, wow, wow!! This third book in the trilogy is as good or even better than the first. In this book, twin sisters share two paths, one in 1692 during the Salem witch trials and the other in 1912 when aviation was becoming a thing. Hope is the daredevil; Grace is the quiet, steady sort. But the sisters love each other in a way I think only twin sisters can. There are several twists and turns in this book and I’m so grateful for my friend that held my hand when I became too anxious. As the Bible ...more

Oh my word!! I just don't even know what to say or how to express my feelings about this book. It was phenomenal. I honestly don't know how Gabrielle Meyer does it with every book in this series but it just keeps getting better and better. I am awestruck at how she can keep all the details, historical tidbits plus multiple storylines that have the characters face different situations.

Typically when I am reading a dual timeline there is a timeline that I would lean towards more but this book was Oh my word!! I just don't even know what to say or how to express my feelings about this book. It was phenomenal. I honestly don't know how Gabrielle Meyer does it with every book in this series but it just keeps getting better and better. I am awestruck at how she can keep all the details, historical tidbits plus multiple storylines that have the characters face different situations.

Typically when I am reading a dual timeline there is a timeline that I would lean towards more but this book was different. I was equally invested in both timelines. This one goes back and forth between the time of the Salem witch trials in 1692 and the time of a new era in 1912 New York City. The sisters in this story are twins and are very different from each other. Grace is is the responsible, thoughtful and selfless. I had a little more trouble with Hope as she is feisty, hardheaded and extremely selfish at times.

These sisters are traveling back and forth through time. Despite me being invested equally between the two timelines, I have to say I despised their dad in 1692. He was horrendous and so was his new wife. Definitely some choice words were thought of as I was reading during this period of time. A lot happens during this timeline that will determine their future. In the 1912 timeline both Hope and Grace are successful at what they do. Hope desires to be the first woman pilot and Grace is a journalist. Their family goes through a hard spot in which they are determined to find a solution to help, however the solution they come up with is quite risky.

I can't divulge everything that goes into this story because I would ruin the entire thing for you but know that this story is full of emotion and there was heartache. I may have shed some tears but there was also romance and it was truly perfection. Truly it was the swoony kind of romance. Of course the thread of faith was throughout the book and seeing the girls faith waver and grow made them personable and real.

Seriously if you haven't grabbed this series yet... don't wait any longer. This is a must read. I cannot wait to see what Book 4 takes us!

Book 3 in the Timeless series is about Hope and Grace, twin sisters who time-cross together between 1692 Salem, Massachusetts and 1912 New York. Dual timelines and dual points of view keep this story moving at a brisk pace. There are a lot of twists and turns to this story, some I expected and some that I did not. Grace and Hope are well written, relatable characters. I loved the inclusion of other time crossers from previous books. I’m looking forward to book 4.

For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer is the third book in her Timeless Series. You could read For a Lifetime as a stand-alone, but there are references to the other two books. Grace and Hope are identical twin sisters who spend half of their lives in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts and the other half in 1912 New York City. They wake up each day to a different life and will have to choose which life to live by their 25th birthday. So, do they stay together, follow their heart, or choose a life based on co ...more

I love this excellent Timeless series! Twins, Grace and Hope, are time-crossers living in the time of 1692 Salem witch trials and in 1912 when aviation was just getting its start. There is a potential romance in each timeline. How can they choose which time-path to stay in when they reach their 25th birthday? Or will God choose for them? Much research went into both timelines and we really feel the emotional twists in both places. The book (and series) is fascinating and so unique! Keeps you on ...more

Wow! Another stunning novel in the Timeless series.
Hope and Grace are time-crossing twins, and as different as can be! I personally relate more to Grace; Hope annoyed me at times in part 1. However the things Hope experienced led to her growth and maturity, and made for a great story. There were several twists I didn’t expect, and it kept me up reading past my bedtime! I am eagerly awaiting book 4!!

For a Lifetime is not the first book I have read by Gabrielle Meyer and will not be the last, she has definitely become a favorite and a must read for this girl. From the very beginning I was swept into the storyline crossing timelines with Grace and Hope.

The character development was amazing. It was fun getting to know the twins, Grace and Hope. They were certainly opposites. I loved seeing Hope’s heart change as she finds herself stuck in the one time period. Seeing the girls overcome their t ...more

This series simply amazes me! I can’t read it fast enough with all the twists and turns. This was a hard book to read at times, though, with one of the timelines taking place during the Salem Witch Trials. I can’t imagine living during that. I also learned so much about the trials and about the first aeroplanes and what it took to be an aviator in the early 1900’s. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say that it was interesting to have Hope and Grace be twins who time-crossed together. They ...more

This was a fun one with twins who both have two different timelines. The story is a bit hard to read at times with some really heartbreaking moments but overall the story is fabulous!
