Pages: 334




Summary: 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.            


Thoughts: Tempest is probably one of the most unique of 2012. I have yet to read many time-travel books and I hope to read more soon but of the ones that I have read, Tempest is by far the best. It has such an on going, original plot that has readers round up in the story the whole time.
    Julie Cross does a tremendous job with covering the aspect of time-travel and when we were going back in time and back to the actual time period, you were never confused in where you were and what you were doing.
      My all time favourite character in this book would have to be Jackson. He is so kind and loyal but deveous and dangerous at the same time. I love the way that Julie Cross makes Jackson care for Holly so much and that he would go to the end of the world to save her and I think that just makes his character really sweet.
     I would give Tempest by Julie Cross a 5 out of 5 stars because it is an amazingly well done book that EVERYONE will love! I am super excited for the next book in the series, Vortex: Tempest 2 Julie Cross, released January 8th, 2013.
