Waiting on Wednesday | Into the Dim | Janet B. Taylor

Into the Dim • Janet B. Taylor

“Seventy-two hours, then we have to be back at the clearing. Sunrise on the third day.”

Being “the home-schooled girl” in a small town, Hope Walton’s crippling phobias and photographic memory don’t endear her to her dad’s perfectly blond, very Southern family. When her mother is killed in a natural disaster thousands of miles from home, Hope’s secluded world implodes. After being shipped off to an aunt she’s never met, Hope learns there’s more to her mother’s “death” than she ever dreamed. At her aunt’s manor, high in the Scottish Highlands, Hope begins to unravel the shocking truth about her family. Her mom isn’t just a brilliant academic. She’s a member of a secret society of time travelers, and is currently trapped in the twelfth century in the age of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. To stage a rescue, the sheltered teen must join the Indiana Jones-wannabe team of time-jumpers, before her mother is lost for good. In a brutal, medieval world, Hope will discover more family secrets, and a mysterious boy who could be vital to setting her mother free…or the very key to Hope’s undoing.

Guys. SO MANY THINGS about INTO THE DIM. Scottish Highlands? Check. Time travel? Check. TWELFTH CENTURY ENGLAND CHECK. ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE CHECK OMG. Indiana Jones?!?! GUYS! I’m dying here! I NEED THIS. TODAY. I’m not crazy about the cover, I have to admit. But when the inside sounds as promising as this one does? No brainer.
