Waiting on Wednesday: Tempest by Julia Cross

Posted by Marks:
You guys! I have one book that I’m really, really looking forward to! Would you be surprised if I tell you that after seeing this yesterday…it jumped to top 5 books on my wishlist?

I present…


Tempest by Julia Cross!

Jackson thought he had all the time in the world with Holly. Until time took him away from her . . .

Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy . . . who just happens to be able to travel through time. It’s all just harmless fun until the day Jackson witnesses his girlfriend, Holly, get fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years, but it’s not long before the people who shot Holly come looking for him. And these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit (or kill) this powerful young time-traveler. Jackson must decide how far he is willing to go to save Holly . . . and the entire world.

Why I like it so much:

It sounds like a novel with romance, fantasy, action and suspense. I love the idea of being able to jump in time. The elements of danger and responsibility also add color to the novel. And the cover is freaking gorgeous!!

    I saw the cover of this one a couple of days ago in an EW article and really liked it. The premise sounds fantastic as well- I love the idea of jumping two years in the past.

    I just saw the cover the other day! Isn't it striking? It looks like an illustration and a photo. I love the idea of time traveling to right wrongs. That never works out as intended :P
