You ever have one of those books that you keep putting off starting? This is one of those for me. Not because I didn't think I'd like it. To quote Paul from the New Testament, "May it never be!" But because I knew once I started, I wouldn't be able to stop. And I wouldn't be able to read it for the first time again. THAT'S why I kept putting it off. Was I wrong? NOPE.
I will admit that there was so much tension in the first part of the book that I had to take a LOT of breaks. But then the second part started, and I couldn't. put. it. down. There were a couple of mind-blowing twists and my mouth literally dropped open at one of them.
Oh, to be able to read this again for the first time!

I absolutely adore this series! Two iconic eras with two time traveling twins captured my imagination and didn’t let go. With two previous time crossing novels, I was impressed by how the author made this story unique and added another fun, exciting, fresh aspect to the series. Grace and Hope have inherited the birthmark which marks them as time crossers. When they go to sleep in 1692, Salem, Massachusetts, they wake up in 1912, New York and vice versa. They’ll experience this time crossing until their 25th birthday when they’ll have to decide which time period they’ll stay in permanently.
In 1692, Salem, the infamous witch trials have begun and Grace & Hope are right in the center of them. Their father’s decided to remarry which changes everything, especially when rumors about their mother resurface. While the sisters endure 1692 until they can chose 1912 permanently, Grace finds herself in love with Isaac, a handsome farmer. But, Isaac only has eyes for Hope. Can she win his heart or will she be forced to leave her unrequited love?
In 1912, Hope’s an actress who wants to be the first American woman to pilot an aeroplane across the English Channel. Grace is also breaking records as a female journalist for the New York Globe. Hope’s flight instructor is the dashing, famous French pilot Lucas Voland whom she’s in love with. As she risks her life to make history, Grace is there to cover it. But, while Hope has her sights on Luc, he has his on someone else.
Hope & Grace were aptly named. Grace’s the epitome of patience, kindness and grace. She tends to be overshadowed by her twin and often acquiesces to her desires. Hope’s stubborn, fearless, and tends to get her way. I loved the growth these sisters experience as Grace learns to think beyond Hope’s wishes and Hope grows in faith, humility, and selflessness. Their unique, thrilling love stories and adventures are filled with twists & turns. I was on pins and needles wondering what would happen next!
Both time periods the twins experienced are interesting. I’ve always been fascinated by the 1692 Salem Witch Trials & this story not only captured the mystery & fervor of that turbulent time but also added a new historical layer I hadn’t heard of before. I also enjoyed 1912 which was iconic for several amazing historical events. I loved the way the author captured the thrill of flying with Hope whose character was based on actual female pilot, Harriet Quimby. Don’t miss the historical notes at the end for more information.
Highest of recommendations for this romantic, suspenseful, faith-filled story! I can’t wait for the next book in the series! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author and publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided.

This series is FANTASTIC. I think this one is my favorite one yet. I say that with each new book. I found these timelines so interesting because both contained history I haven’t read a lot about! Hope and Grace were both wonderful and I loved how they were so different, yet loved each other so well. This one is full of twists and turns and I was never able to even guess what was going to happen next! This series is absolutely wonderful and so creative. I love how it is sprinkled with faith and so much hope.

This book is a mixed bunch of feelings, so I’ll do my best to give them all credit!
- I ADORED this first book in this series and think the premise is sheer genius. The plot of this book in particular, time traveling twins, was such a fun take on it. That aspect of the book was extremely well done!
- I found the plot itself to be lacking despite a fantastically written outer shell. Early 1900s, aviation, family trouble + late 1600s Salem witch trials = really intriguing setup. However, the details that would enhance these timelines and glue it all together were just meh. I felt like the author relied on the big punch the historical times themselves lended without adding anything to it herself. If you strip away the obvious things, not much remains.
- The romances were predictable and not very swoony. I’m ok with predictability- there’s only so many directions they can go for a HEA. But two timelines, twins, possible love triangle. It could have been a bit more tense or emotionally passionate (to be clear: not open door!) to build up the characters’ relationships.
- I am not sure I can fully identify what makes the Christian aspect of a Christian fiction cheesy or not to me. But when it’s a story with “because it’s God’s plan” or “I’ve been praying for you”- just generic, cliché phrases tossed in- I’m not sure I think it’s necessary and feels forced.
Will I read more books in this series? YES. This is just not my favorite. However, I’m in the minority for sure and am so happy the hype is there for this book. It is so well-deserved.

What a ride!! This book was full of ups and downs and so many twists I didn’t see coming. I loved the characters and loved the different timelines. I was so stressed but knew it would work out. Absolutely loved this historical fiction.

I loved the other two books in this series and this one was no different! For a Lifetime was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it was amazing!
I absolutely loved getting to know Maggie’s twins! (Maggie is the MC in book 2 in this series, In This Moment).
I loved Grace and Hope! They were so wonderfully different from each other in their personalities as well as their goals and dreams. I did relate to Grace the most and I felt like she was a kindred spirit.
I loved the sister-relationship dynamics in this story so, so much!
While this story focuses on the sisters, there was romance as well and it was so beautifully written. I loved Luc and Isaac though Luc was probably my favorite. I won’t say much because I don’t want to spoil it so you’ll have read the book to find out who ends up with who. I was very happy with how everything ended up.🥰
This book was an emotional journey for sure. I didn’t know how it was going to end. There were so many twists and turns which I loved. I really couldn’t put the book down!
This story was emotional and inspiring. I loved the faith content throughout. It brought so much light and hope to this story, especially since this story is set during some really dark times for those who lived in Salem, Massachusetts during the late 1600s. While I found this history disturbing to read about, the faith in God these characters had really brought light to the story.
In conclusion, I loved this book! I love historical fiction that has faith and a unique plot so I have loved the Timeless series so much. I loved getting glimpses of characters from the previous books in this one! It was so much fun to see them again.❤️
While I would highly recommend reading the first two books in this series before reading this one, this book could definitely be read as a stand-alone.
If you’re looking for an unputdownable historical fiction read that includes time-travel, faith, and sister-relationship dynamics, I think you will really like this book!
