Waiting On Wednesday [2]

WAITING ON WEDNESDAY is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week, I can’t wait for the sequel of a book that left me astonished, gaping, and totally breathless.

Timekeeper
Author: Alexandra Monir
Series: Timeless #2
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal, Romance, Fantasy
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Release Date: January 8
Summary:

When Philip Walker appears as a new student in Michele Windsor’s high school class, she is floored. He is the love she thought she lost forever when they said goodbye during her time travels last century. Overjoyed that they can resume the relationship they had a lifetime ago, Michele eagerly approaches him and discovers the unthinkable: he doesn’t remember her. In fact, he doesn’t seem to remember anything about the Philip Walker of 1910.
Michele then finds her father’s journals, which tell stories of his time-traveling past. As she digs deeper, she learns about his entanglement with a mysterious and powerful organization called the Time Society and his dealings with a vengeful Windsor ancestor. Michele soon finds herself at the center of a rift over 120 years in the making, one whose resolution will have life-or-death consequences.
Alexandra Monir’s Timekeeper combines breathtaking romance with a tale of complex magic in a sequel that will have every reader believing in the transcendent power of love.

I read Timeless about eight months ago and I still haven’t gotten how amazing the book is. Who would have thought a simple time-traveling book can totally blow your mind? If you haven’t read Timeless yet, seriously, what are you waiting for?

However, the synopsis of Timekeeper reminds me of the ending of The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Frances Long where Jack “dies”, turns into a human and enrolls into Jenny’s school, Jenny finds out he forgot her, and he then remembered her. Hopeful Alexandra Monir can find a more creative way to solve Michele’s dilemma.

On a sad note, Timekeeper was delayed a month; it was supposed to come out this year near Christmas. There better not be any more delays! ):
