Best I've Read Blog Tour Day 7

Welcome to the last day of the Best I've Read blog tour for 2011.  I hope you have enjoyed the tour.  Today I am featuring Author Myra McEntire and her amazing book HOURGLASS.  This book deserves every one of its 5 shining stars, as I've never read a story about time travel that was as captivating as the one Myra writes.  With a kick ass heroine, two hot boys vying for her attention, drama, mystery, mayhem, a villain and a bit of tragedy, and you get a book that is kick ass in every way.  You should definitely add this one to your to be read list if you haven't read it yet. 

Synopsis from Goodreads - One hour to rewrite the past . . 
 
For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.

So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.
Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?

Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.
