The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.
That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future.
Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.
But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or kill him.
Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world. ~ Summary from Goodreads.com
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars
This book possessed a really confusing plot. Not a good way to start off a review, but it's true. I could hardly keep up with it at times. Essentially the protagonist, Jackson, is a time-traveler containing a recessive gene known as "Tempus" that makes him this way. Jackson is honestly a really good guy who has the ability to never waver from the path of doing the right thing, even if it's difficult and breaks his heart to do so.
Jackson and Holly are deeply in love, despite all of their little arguments, they are and they seem pretty intent to spend the rest of their lives together. That is until the "EOT's" a really confusing group of antagonists whose intent is never made clear throughout this story appear and shoot Holly, causing Jackson to make a full jump into 2007. Where he attempts to move on with his life after realizing that he is unable to return to his present. There he meets up with a younger Holly and Adam, and tries to fully uncover the truth about his life. And who he should let himself trust.
Tempest by Julie Cross is a confusing yet great read if you can keep up with it and are looking for a book on time travel.
