I honestly thought this book was going to be another spin-off of queen of hearts or something, I don't know why, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was it's own story and an amazing one at that!


SPOILERS!







I've never read anything like this!
I think Gwyneth's character is lovely. She's just your average 16 year old trying to pass her classes but she has to deal with that fact that her cousin, Charlotte the arrogant, has a time traveling gene. 
But just kidding! Gwyneth has the gene and she definitely doesn't want it. 
The fact that her mom lied was a little confusing at first like I get you were trying to protect her but couldn't you have warned her a little? She could've had some preparation? Idk, wasn't a fan of that part. 
I'm super intrigued for Lucy and Paul's story to flesh out because they weren't really explained in this first book. Gideon is kind of an ass and I'm suspicious that he's into her all of a sudden. 
The count who is also a time traveler and can use telekinesis!?!? Why would you trust someone like that? He creeped me out and he's clearly the villain but the fact that no one but him knows what the secret is? Why would people blindly accept that?
I look forward to the next books, amazing story, please read!
