Summary of the Book:
Seattle, 1913 // Dorothy is trapped. Forced into an engagement to a wealthy man just so she and her mother can live comfortably for the rest of their days, she’ll do anything to escape. Including sneaking away from her wedding and bolting into the woods to disappear.
New Seattle, 2077 // Ash is on a mission. Rescue the professor—his mentor who figured out the secret to time travel—so together they can put things right in their devastated city. But searching for one man means endless jumps through time with no guarantee of success.
When Dorothy collides with Ash, she sees it as her chance to start fresh—she’ll stow away in his plane and begin a new life wherever they land. Then she wakes up in a future that’s been ripped apart by earthquakes and floods; where vicious gangs rule the submerged city streets and a small group of intrepid travelers from across time are fighting against the odds to return things to normal. What Dorothy doesn’t know is that she could hold the key to unraveling the past—and her arrival may spell Ash’s ultimate destruction.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have to start this review by saying I had to read this book twice because a little confusing. It could have been the two points of view of Dorothy and Ash. They do a lot internal talking and flirting. I know this is meant to be a romance and the first in a series, but I am wondering if they are actual an couple because they are focused on themselves then each other. The characters and the setting of the novel was amazing. It is well written and the description is so well done.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
