IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME.
In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together.
In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path.
Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make things worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.
Because to make things right, they must go back to when it all began …
Jen's Review
To be honest,
Timeless, the last installment in this fun, time travelling romance saga, felt
like a complete add-on story. It didn’t feel like it was connected quite
correctly with book one. All of the characters were of course, the same, but
the ending with Remembrance was fine; Timeless's plot felt like an extra story
that wasn't necessary. There was a major change in topic in a way, as well.
While the first book was solely focused on reincarnation and loosely based off
of Taylor Swift's music video, Timeless was a completely different story. It
was more like a murder mystery to me. Nonetheless, while the plot didn't make
much sense, it was still entertaining and intriguing.
Another problem I
had with Timeless was the shift in character. Chelsea, Lizzie's ex-best friend,
becomes her worst enemy after what happened in book one. In book two (ish, more
like a novella), the story is told from Chelsea's point of view, talking about
her wrath and anger towards Lizzie. In Timeless, Chelsea changes dramatically
in her role AGAIN. It made Vengeance (book two) seem utterly pointless. Why
couldn’t she just stay as Lizzie's enemy? Or friend? CHOOSE A SIDE, CHELS.
The last main
problem I had was the ending-- it didn't end too
abruptly, but it was rather simple. Drew, Lizzie, and Chelsea are jumbled up in
this big time-travelling mess and all too soon and easily, they solve the
problem just by negotiation. I would have loved to see more action! I was left
a little disappointed.
3 Teacups for Timeless!

Aww, it's a shame this was so disappointing - ESPECIALLY for a last installment in a series! I wasn't keen on this series before, but I definitely won't be picking it up now. Wonderful, honest review, Jen! :)
ReplyDeleteWoah this book sure sounds like it has a lot going on for it, I'm not sure if it would be for me, but I'm glad you did enjoy it for the most part despite some of the issues you had. Great review Jen! :)
