"Untimed" by Andy Gavin {Review & Giveaway - Ends 3/1}



Welcome to My Cozie Corner's stop on the 
"Untimed" book tour. 
This tour is brought to you by Innovative Book Tours.



BLURB:


Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, even his own mother can’t remember his name. And girls? The invisible man gets more dates.

As if that weren’t enough, when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him seriously.

Still, this isn’t all bad. In fact, there’s this girl, another time traveler, who not only remembers his name, but might even like him! Unfortunately, Yvaine carries more than her share of baggage: like a baby boy and at least two ex-boyfriends! One’s famous, the other’s murderous, and Charlie doesn’t know who is the bigger problem.

When one kills the other — and the other is nineteen year-old Ben Franklin — things get really crazy. Can their relationship survive? Can the future? Charlie and Yvaine are time travelers, they can fix this — theoretically — but the rules are complicated and the stakes are history as we know it.

And there's one more wrinkle: he can only travel into the past, and she can only travel into the future!

Review:


Andy pens "Untimed" with a unique and original plot of time travel. His characters are well developed and believable in this action packed, suspenseful romantic mystery. I was impressed with the fine details Andy  gets across in the story line which is rare, and would highly recommend this to all older YA and adult readers.

I give "Untimed" a 5 star rating.
