Synopsis: (from Goodreads.com)
She’s sixteen. He’s seventeen. They don’t know each other…at least not yet.
She has a secret and her whole life revolves around keeping it. Every few months and with little warning, she simply disappears, pulled into the past for hours or even days. She’s terrified it will happen in front of someone, changing her life forever. So far, the only witnesses have been her parents, and that didn’t end well. She has no control over it and no idea why it happens to her.
She wants answers.
He has answers—at least he understands what’s going on. He has a secret, too. He’s part of an organization that goes back in time to rewrite reality. But he also has a problem. He broke the organization’s number-one rule by altering his own timeline. As punishment, he’s been blocked from time travel, which is most unfortunate. Because the changes he made to his timeline, accidentally resulted in disaster for his family. A disaster he’s now prevented from repairing. No one can travel beneath the organization’s radar except a Shadow. But they’re rare, so rare he’s never even met one.
Then he moves to her town.

Prosecution:
Honestly, I couldn't wrap my mind around the ending, but I got the gist of it. She also got Constantine♥! But I didn't find the story to really pick up until the other end. I felt a lull for the first 50% but I continued reading, since, let's face it, I NEEDED TO KNOW!
Defense:
Mind=Blown. That is basically what I was thinking throughout the ENTIRE book. Now, you all know I don't read that much science fiction or paranormal novels. I'm more of a non-fiction and contemporary romance kind of girl. But I really enjoyed this book! AJ's attitude was so laid back and the entire book did progress with this attitude. Lex is bomb, and seemed to be a pretty awesome friend.
Verdict:
A solid three stars. I felt pretty confused about the story as a whole. Will I reread it? Sure, but it's not one of my favorites, as much as I wanted it to be. But that cover sure nuff is gorgeous c;!
