Hourglass
by Myra McEntire

Goodreads synopsis:
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 also 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?

Okay, so technically I'm cheating on this week's choice, seeing it is soon to be on my to-read mountain, and no longer on my wishlist (I ordered myself a copy on Sunday). But I'm allowed to cheat, because I'm just so damn excited about getting hold of my copy! This has been on my wishlist, probably for around a year now, and I have just let it sit there. However, on Sunday, I was at a place called Warhammer World (for my brother's birthday, and the fact that I agreed to go is definite proof that I love him), and very bored, so of course, I was browsing Goodreads, and a review for this book came up. The review was a 5 star one. It took no more persuasion that this!
I'm very intrigued by this novel, and I can't wait to read it.
