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 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?
Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.

I really like the sound of this one. I found it through a recommendation from Goodreads. When I read the blurb I was very intrigued to find out all about the life of Emerson. Sounds like a good combination of mystery, romance and paranormal all rolled into one. So on the wishlist it went and to be honest, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

I have seen this around for awhile now, but haven't gotten to it yet. Sooo many books on my TBR list.

I've always loved this cover, but I never read the book. It looks amazing.
I love the cover and I've been after this book for a quite awhile now. I just can't bring myself to order from the library.
The cover catches your attention and interesting story. Can't wait to read this one.
