Timebound by Rysa Walker

Timebound (The Chronos Files, #1)

by Rysa Walker

When Kate Pierce-Keller’s grandmother gives her a strange blue medallion and speaks of time travel, sixteen-year-old Kate assumes the old woman is delusional. But it all becomes horrifyingly real when a murder in the past destroys the foundation of Kate’s present-day life. Suddenly, that medallion is the only thing protecting Kate from blinking out of existence.

Kate learns that the 1893 killing is part of something much more sinister, and her genetic ability to time travel makes Kate the only one who can fix the future. Risking everything, she travels back in time to the Chicago World’s Fair to try to prevent the murder and the chain of events that follows.

Changing the timeline comes with a personal cost—if Kate succeeds, the boy she loves will have no memory of her existence. And regardless of her motives, does Kate have the right to manipulate the fate of the entire world?

Publisher’s Note: Timebound was originally released as Time’s Twisted Arrow.

Timebound is the third time travel novel I've read in about a month. So I've decided to take a bit of a different approach to this review because well, this book was so darned fun, but with the grandparents being born AFTER grandchildren, I'm not sure I can adequately explain everything I loved about this book without thoroughly confusing you.

Head over to Second Run Reviews to read the full list of reasons I love Timebound by Rysa Walker.
