Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we simply cannot wait for! This week, I chose The Edge of Forever by Melissa E. Hurst
The Edge of Forever on June 2nd 2015Pages: 256
In 2013: Sixteen-year-old Alora is having blackouts. Each time she wakes up in a different place with no idea of how she got there. The one thing she is certain of? Someone is following her.
In 2146: Seventeen-year-old Bridger is one of a small number of people born with the ability to travel to the past. While on a routine school time trip, he sees the last person he expected—his dead father. The strangest part is that, according to the Department of Temporal Affairs, his father was never assigned to be in that time. Bridger’s even more stunned when he learns that his by-the-book father was there to break the most important rule of time travel—to prevent someone’s murder.
And that someone is named Alora.
Determined to discover why his father wanted to help a “ghost,” Bridger illegally shifts to 2013 and, along with Alora, races to solve the mystery surrounding her past and her connection to his father before the DTA finds him. If he can stop Alora’s death without altering the timeline, maybe he can save his father too.
Why I’m Waiting: In theory, I love time travel. Why in theory only? Because I haven’t actually read anything with time travel in it yet. Sad, but true story. But the concept always hooks me, and I have a half a dozen time travel-ish books on my TBR, including this one. And I like that there is a mystery in with the time travel, that sounds fun. I assume there may be some kind of romance too, though that isn’t specified. Either way, it sounds pretty good to me!
What are you waiting for this week?
Also, for my The 100 fans out there, Holly @ The Fox’s Hideaway has our weekly Snark From the Ark on her blog this week (AND the last episode before the break airs tonight, eep!)
OMG I LOVE time travel! Every one I have read I have enjoyed. Definitely adding this to the list! Thanks for putting it on my radar!
Ooh that’s a pretty cool cover! I haven’t read time travel books in ages, so I’m game 😀
I’m not such a fan of time-travel, but parallel-world books make it on my tbr easily.
I hope you’ll finally get around to a time travel read, and enjoy it. =)
I’ve never heard of this one, Shannon! I like the split in the cover, it’s really cool. I hope you enjoy this book when you read it!
Have a fabulous day 🙂
Check out my WoW post!
I’ve never heard of this before, but I’m definitely curious about it now. I’ve read a couple of time travel books (loved some and hated some) already. I’ll probably only read this if it has some romance, though. 😉 Awesome pick–thanks for adding this to my TBR!
This sounds so cool! Like a time travel murder mystery. Time travel is so hard to pull off, because it’s either like Doctor Who where you can only change certain things or it’s like Pern where if you change anything you already did it.
This sounds so amazing! And I agree, I guess I love time-travel in theory only, I’ve never read anything with time travel.
This book sounds so awesome and I love the cover!! Great pick <33
I’ve never heard of this one before, but I love the cover! Thanks for introducing it to me!
