Although this may sound like Emerson was quite depressing, she wasn't at all. No matter what she does, these people from the past haunt her and she hates it. After all, she sees what she thinks are ghosts and has once been committed for what she can see. She thinks she's a complete freak and that there is something terribly wrong with her. I really loved this book from the very first page where we meet protagonist Emerson. 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. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past. 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. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. 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.
