“Ruby Red” is the first book in the Ruby Red trilogy written by Kerstin Gier. This series follows Gwendolyn Shepperd as her world changes completely when she finds out she is the carrier of a strange gene which allow the carrier to travel back in time.
Gwendolyn has known her whole life her family was quite peculiar, in her family there was a gene that allowed its carrier to travel back in time. The chosen one to carry this gene was her cousin Charlotte. Her cousin has been preparing her whole life for her sixteenth birthday, in which the gene should manifest. However it is Gwendolyn the one who, without expecting it, travels back in time. From that moment she will have to adapt to a life for which she was not prepared at all. In order not to go back in time without control she has to use a machine called “Chronograph”. In that machine the blood of the carriers is register, and when the blood of the twelve carriers is registered the Chronograph is supposed to reveal a great secret. The chronograph should have been completed with Gwendolyn’s blood nonetheless her cousin Lucy and her boyfriend Paul de Villiers traveled back in time with the old chronograph. Since that moment the other currently carrier, Gideon de Villiers, has been collecting the blood from the previous travelers to be able to register them in the new chronograph. Gwendolyn has to help him completing the task. But the intentions of the Guardians and the man at the head of them the Count of Saint Germain are not clear to her.
“Ruby Red” was a fantastic book. The theme of time-traveling is not one of the most explored on in YA; therefore the book is unique and interesting. Apart from that the plot is also captivating, it moves fast and so many things happen in one book. The characters, especially Gwendolyn, develop through the book. The book offers also a good mystery since the reader reads from Gwendolyn perspective and she does not know who she should trust. In addition to that the relationship between her and Gideon is funny as well as cute. The scenery was also a good point; the descriptions of past time London were vivid and realistic, almost as the author has traveled there herself.
The only thing I did not like much was Gwendolyn’s childish attitude at times. Sometimes she seems intelligent and curious and others she seems scared from the most stupid things.


I really recommend anyone who loves YA to read this book. It has it all: adventure, drama, mystery, romance, and fantasy. It is a really special book that will keep you reading from cover to cover.

Half Year Wrap Up and July TBR

Hello everyone, as I said on my update and favorites post I’m sorry I’ve been absent lately. Because of that, I’m not going to do a monthly wrap up, but a middle of the year wrap up. I can’t believe we have already hit the middle of the year, but here we are and I’m four books behind in my goodreads challenge, which is more or less like a month. It isn’t much considering how little time I have had to read, as well as many other things, and considering there were two months in which I didn’t finished one book.  We start with January, the best month reading wise I’ve had in years, I completed a total of 8 books in addition to a novella and a graphic novel. Not only that, I also highly enjoyed most books I read during that month  “Captivated by You” by Sylvia Day. The last book published in the Crossfire series, really liked it, and I can’t wait for the next book which I think might be the last. (4/5) “Conociendo a Raul” by Blue Jeans. The novella I read, prequel to “El...
