This is one of the best series I have read in a while and I know I will read it again and again. When I bought it, was looking for a zombie book. The first book in this series does have zombies but they are secondary to everything else going on in the character's lives and that was a good thing. The rest of the series doesn't have zombies but it has so many other twists and turns that the zombies are not missed. It is really about time travel.What I liked best about this series:- The characters. The author did an amazing job making them realistic. They seemed to have more flaws than strengths, especially in the beginning. Each character grew throughout the series, especially the main character Seffy. She started out whinny, stuck up, and just plain unlikable. But she grew and that made her real. By the end of the series, I absolutely loved her.- The romance in this series is done really well. Seffy didn't end up with who I originally thought she would have. I love who she did end up with. Also, they didn't all get a happily ever after, which is realistic. (Ok, so at the very end they sort of did, which is also good.)- The plot was never predictable.- Every little thing in the book tied into something bigger.- The writing itself was very compelling.What I didn't like about this series:- There were a few grammar mistakes here and there but they weren't enough to really detract from the story. It was easy to figure out what it was supposed to say and then move on.- There was also the occasional instance of the author trying too hard to sound young/modern.I should also mention that I borrowed this from the prime lending library and then lost my kindle. I had to finish reading it so much that I went and bought it to download on my computer, that's how good it is!
