For a Lifetime
by Gabrielle Meyer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5 stars)
The third book in the Timeless series, For a Lifetime, a historical time-travel novel blends suspense, romance, and tough choices. The story follows twin sisters Grace and Hope, who time-cross between 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, and 1912 New York City. On their twenty-fifth birthday, they must make the impossible choice—stay in one world forever and leave the other behind.
The Salem witch trials timeline is intense, with the sisters navigating the paranoia and danger surrounding them. In 1912, Hope dreams of becoming a pioneering female pilot, while Grace works as a journalist uncovering corruption. As their decision looms, an unexpected tragedy throws everything into chaos, forcing them to reconsider their futures and their faith.
Meyer’s research shines, especially in her depiction of the Salem trials. The tension in both timelines keeps the story moving, though the logistics of the dual POVs don’t always land smoothly. The emotional stakes are high, and the themes of love, sacrifice, and destiny resonate. While it’s possible to enjoy this book alone, reading the series in order would provide better context.
For fans of historical fiction with a time-travel twist, this is a satisfying and thought-provoking read.
** Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a comp of the book. The opinions are my own.
