The second I stepped through the doors of Gray Wolf Academy, my world disintegrated. Here, time is malleable. It can be manipulated, shifted. Changed. And for those of us who Trip—or travel through time—the possibilities are infinite and perilous.
Now my life is caught in the secrets of everyone around me. Arthur, the eccentric billionaire who rules this school. Killian, who could be the only honest person here…or the biggest liar. And Braxton, magnetic, gorgeous, and unfathomable. The only thing I trust about him is our electric connection.
Whether we’re Tripping through Renaissance Italy or thieving from a ball in Regency England, my life’s become a web of lies and strange truths. And beneath the surface is an elaborate puzzle, filled with cryptic symbols and priceless treasures scattered across history—all somehow connected to my strange ability to see through time.
But Arthur has a dangerously ambitious agenda. And if what my dad taught me is true, I’m not just a threat to everyone at Gray Wolf.
…I’m a threat to time itself.

NOTE: If you have not read the first book in this series, there may be some spoilers in this review.
Having read the first book in this series, I was anxious to get my hands on the second one to see where the story would lead. We are thrown back into the world of time travel with the characters we have come to know: Natasha, Braxton, Kilian, Mason, Arthur. As we found in book one, Arthur is still looking for his pieces to build his machine.
Natasha travels and finds what she needs but becomes increasingly suspicious of what exactly this machine will do.
Killian and Braxton still battle for Tasha's attention, and we are not sure who we can trust and who we cannot. Both holding secrets back from her.
The story is intriguing but once again we're given a lot of tarot card information which I just cannot seem to grasp (maybe it's me?). I feel like this particular plot point is very hard to follow. I also feel there are plot holes, which often happens in time travel books because of the nature of the way they need to be written.
The relationship between Natasha and Braxton and Killian is fairly tense. It's up in the air who she will end up with, for sure.
I still enjoy the time travel element. The descriptions of the clothing in the time periods are spot on.
There is definitely more mystery and tension in this book than there was in the first book. And the darkness of the Grey Wolf continues to intrigue me.
This book definitely tied up a few of the pervious book's loose ends while also introducing new areas of mystery,
Of course the cliff hanger ending has me wanting the third book now.
