Ruby Red

by Kerstin Gier

Gwyneth comes from a long line of time travelers, but as far as she knows, she's not one of them. Her cousin Charlotte has been prepared her whole life for the dizzy feeling that comes sometime around your 16th birthday, and means you're about to travel. But it turns out it isn't Charlotte who has the gene after all, and Gwyneth finds herself bouncing back and forth through time with no preparation. Her training must start immediately, which terrifies her, infuriates Charlotte, and concerns Gideon, the handsome young man from another time-traveling family who will accompany her on her journeys. She soon finds that time traveling isn't all fun and games, either. A chronograph, a machine vital to their experience, has been stolen. It requires a speck of blood from other time-travelers across the centuries, and Gwyneth and Gideon are tasked with getting that blood. It won't be easy, and Gwyneth's not entirely sure it's the right thing to do. 

A budding romance, a little mystery, and lots of adventure make this first in the series a must read!
