I just read. . .

Hourglass by Myra McEntire.

A mind-bending, romantic, paranormal, science fiction rollercoaster ride, Hourglass will captivate your attention and keep you reading into the wee hours of the morning. It did for me, at least.

Seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole isn’t your average teenage girl, although she desires normality more than anything else. Emerson, aka “Em”, has the ability to see ghostly people from the past. Southern belles dressed like Scarlett O’Hara, girls clad in 1950’s poodle-skirts, even a jazz trio complete with a piano appear to Em, disappearing only when she touches them.

Em’s brother, Thomas, seeks out paranormal investigators and spiritual healers, but none of them are able to help her. Em agrees to one final person trying to “cure” her, a consultant named Michael Weaver from a place called Hourglass. Mysterious, attractive, and understanding, Michael turns out to be far more than Em anticipated—who is this stranger, and why does she feel electricity whenever he’s near? What is Hourglass, and how does Michael know so much about the phantom ghosts that she sees? Is Michael good or bad, and why does he need her help in preventing a murder that happened in the past?

After you’ve read Hourglass, be sure to request the sequel, Timepiece: An Hourglass Novel.
