An emotional read about twin sisters that are time crossers living simultaneously in 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials and also in 1912 on the precipice of The Great Depression and World War I. These girls made me so emotional with their love and dedication for one another. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
This is Book 3 in Meyer's Timeless series, I haven't read the first two books but I really want to now after reading this one.
Hope and Grace are twin sisters that are part of a long family line of time crossers. They live in dual times and places and as they sleep each night, they wake up the next morning in the other place and time. I wasn't sure how Meyer was going to handle this time flip-flop and was rather impressed with how smoothly it went. I never felt jarred with the time transitions or character changes.
It's an emotional story though. Hope loves living in 1912 and on their upcoming 25th birthday, both girls plan to stay the rest of their lives in 1912 and far away from Salem, Massachusetts and the Witch trials taking place. No matter what happens, these sisters want to stay together and are determined to be each other's side. God has other plans for these young ladies and they will be forced with big decisions that will change everything about what they know today.
Romance is abound for these sisters as well. They are both navigating attractions and potential relationships on both sides of their timelines and this is also a big part of their decision on which timeline to choose as their future. A story filled with family love and despair, sisterly bonds that transcend time, and finding your person that you can share your life with.

Another great book in this series!
I was excited when I saw that this book was finally coming out! I enjoyed the first two books in the series, and although normally I’m content to wait until the next book comes out, this is a series that is hard to wait for. Meyer does an excellent job pulling you into the story and then ending things in a satisfying way (sometimes with a bit of a cliffhanger), and that’s kept me coming back time after time.
This was such a fun continuation of the series, in so many ways. I loved the aspect of having twin time-crossers; twins have always intrigued me anyway, but seeing them in this sort of situation was especially interesting to me—and a lot of fun! I also thoroughly enjoyed the history, since both events/time periods featured in this story were ones that I wasn’t overly familiar with. Add to that family dynamics, a bit of danger, and some sweet romance, and you get a bit of an idea of how fun this story was.
I did struggle with some things as I read. There is a feminist slant in the story, where women are competing in a man’s world. A few of the more romantic scenes had slightly more description than I thought necessary (although that, generally, didn’t seem to be quite as intense in this book as some others). The characters, although Christians, didn’t seem to spend much time praying about what decisions they should make—their decisions seemed more based on feelings and preferences than on seeking the Lord.
Overall, though, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I think it took me about two days to get through, which made it even more fun—I LOVE being sucked into a book to the point of hardly being able to put it down! Gabrielle Meyer has a very easy-to-read writing style, and I love the way she brings beauty and hope into difficult situations. If you enjoy historical fiction with a twist, I’d recommend you check this series out. I’ve loved all of them so far, and can’t wait to read the next book—its release can’t come fast enough!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion of it.

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 says, all things work together for our good and God’s glory and this book illustrates that well. I can’t wait for the next one!!
