Tempest by Julie Cross

4.0

4.5 stars.

I won this off of a goodreads giveaway.

the novel centers on Jackson, a 19 year old boy who can travel in time, although only a few days in the future, and only for a few minutes. One day with his girlfriend holly, two strangers appear asking him about his connections to government agencies, and shoot his girlfriend. he is then transported back two years in the past, with no idea how to get back to his own timeline.

What follows is a twisted and exciting journey through various points of Jackson's life, as he learns more about where he came from, who his family really is, and how to hone in his incredible skill. A battle between the family he knew and "Enemies of time" other time travelers who want him to join their side, emerges, giving the reader a thrilling experience.

The time jumps were a little confusing, and the mechanics behind his skill somewhat contrived- yet I have full confidence that as the series continues, the holes created by the introductory book will be filled.
