Golden Blood: Time Spirit Trilogy by Melissa Pearl
3.0
There were parts of this book that I liked and didn't like.
I know when you actually are the YA demographic reading YA, you want to read about falling in love, and romance. As an adult reading a YA book, sometimes I'm thinking, I would be slightly horrified if it was MY 17 year old daughter locked into an airtight romance, I'd want her to experience a little more things in life, travel, get to know herself.
Anyhow, that tangent said, the basic premise is that there is a family of time travelers, that work together as a team, to change things in history. Based on what the Dad decides from his careful analysis of history. He randomly saves a pianist or some guy in prison (ok, another tangent here....what's with saving one prisoner if you are going to kill like 7 guards to do it? How do you KNOW that they aren't historically relevant arrow fodder? You could be killing off Einsteins and Curies left and right).
Gemma, the MC, is very much a good girl, then she meets Harrison, and they have a magnetic pull that's impossible to resist.
Towards the end of the book, you are given hints that things aren't what they seem in the family, and that perhaps the Father has some ulterior motives that they've yet to discover.
There were definitely good parts and interesting parts that kept the story going, that made you want to keep reading it to see what happened and what some of the answers might be.
