The Hourglass Door

Many people probably haven't heard of this series, and I have no idea why! This was one of the best books I've ever read and I would love to know why no one knows about it! But regardless of whether or not you've heard of it this series was one of the best ever in my opinion. It has an amazing plot and for those who aren't a big fan of fifteen-book-long series congrats! This series is just a trilogy! And, another added bonus, the whole series is completely finished!!! I'm happy to announce that the last book in this wonderful series came out earlier this month so you can finish it in as little time as it takes for you to read them! If that's still not capturing your attention at all here's the synopsis for the first book that caught my eye last year:

His past. Her future. Can love bring them together in time?Abby's senior year of high school is textbook perfect: She has a handsome and attentive boyfriend, good friends, good grades, and plans to attend college next year. But when she meets Dante Alexander, a foreign-exchange student from Italy, her life suddenly takes a different turn. He's mysterious, and interesting, and unlike anyone she's ever met before. Abby can't deny the growing attraction she feels for him. Nor can she deny the unusual things that seem to happen when Dante is around. Time behaves differently when they are together - traveling too fast or too slow or sometimes seeming to stop altogether. When the band Zero Hour performs at the local hangout, Abby realizes that there's something dangerous about the lead singer, Zo, and his band mates, Tony and V. Oddly, the three of them are also from Italy and have a strange relationship to Dante. They also hold a bizarre influence over their audience when performing. And Abby's best friend, Valerie, is caught in their snare. Dante tells Abby the truth of his past: he once worked for Leonardo Da Vinci, helping to design and build a time machine. When Dante was falsely implicated as a traitor to his country, he was sent through the machine more than five hundred years into the future as punishment. As the past and the present collide, Abby learns that she holds a special power over the flow of time itself. She and Dante must stop Zo from opening the time machine's door and endangering everyone's future. More than one life is at stake and Abby's choice could change everything.

Awesome right? Just the cover of the book made it look interesting but this really made me want to read this book and I ended up ordering it about two days later. That's how much I wanted to read it...paying shipping because I couldn't wait until the next time I went to Barnes and Noble. If that still hasn't sealed the deal for you though I also have the book trailer!

Not how I envisioned Dante I'll admit. I'll also admit that I'm keeping the image I got from my imagination when I first read the book as him, because I really don't like the person they picked to be Dante at all.... I don't know, maybe you like him maybe you don't, but I personally don't. But anyway one lapse in judgement on the picking of the actors does not change the fact that these books are wonderful and I absolutely LOVED every single one of them!!!!!!
