In Timebound we are caught up in a world that kept shifting as things were changed around in the past. Kate’s grandmother is trying to stop her grandfather from switching more things in the past to create more followers to the Cyrist’s cult of followers and whatever end game he has planned for the future.Timebound had by far the strangest love triangle I’ve ever read. Kiernan remembers Kate from a previous time line where they were lovers. She doesn’t remember that time line at all. Kate is dating Trey in Timebound and if she succeeds in making changes to the past he won’t remember her at all.Okay so I didn’t really get attached to Kiernan in Timebound, the majority of the time he was his eight-year old self while he and Kate were together. But I am totally attached to Kiernan’s character now, and Trey I’m so sorry but I’m rooting for him a bit. Time’s Echo shows a Kate and Kiernan that are deeply in love and have been together for a year and a half until one day she just disappears.Now Kiernan must figure out why she was taken out of the timeline they were in and how to get her back. He is playing a dangerous game with Pru (Kate’s psychotic aunt) and Simon who seem to hold the information he needs. Also Saul is setting up for something big and to help Kate he must try to solve that riddle as well.He will do everything he can to protect her”This was not supposed to be our first kiss, Kate. But if you do not hurry, it will almost certainly be our last.”I’m glad I read the novella as it gives some extra insight into the Cyrist’s network and Saul’s plans for the future and the lengths he is willing to go. It also showed that some people might not be as good or as bad as we initially thought. I’m not sure who I’m going to trust in the next book besides Kate/Kiernan and Trey.This novella also really built on the relationship angle that was glossed over a bit in the first book. I felt a deeper connection to the characters and their plight. Looking forward to the second book in this Time Travel Tale coming in October.Warning: The first book was definitely Young Adult but the series might be moving into New Adult territory. While there was no actual sex on page there were many references to it and innuendos of it.
