⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5 stars)
Book Three in the Timeless series
Two sisters. Two timelines. One impossible choice.
I liked this book so much, I actually hit pause and went back to read books one and two. (Totally worth it.) Gabrielle Meyer’s For a Lifetime is the third in her Timeless series, and it’s a wild ride through two very different eras—1692 Salem and 1912 New York City.
This one follows twin sisters, Grace and Hope, who time-cross between those two worlds. On their twenty-fifth birthday, they’re faced with a gut-wrenching decision: stay in one timeline forever and leave the other behind. No take-backs.
The Salem timeline is intense. Like, witch trial panic-level intense. The sisters are dodging suspicion, navigating a paranoid society, and trying not to get burned—literally. Meanwhile, 1912 has its own thrills: Hope’s chasing her dream to become a pioneering pilot, and Grace is digging up corruption as a gutsy journalist.
Meyer’s research really shines here, especially in Salem. The pacing is tight, the stakes are high, and while the dual POV structure occasionally stumbles, it mostly works. There’s suspense, heartache, romance, and a twist I didn’t see coming.
You could read this one as a standalone, but honestly? Start at the beginning. The payoff is better.
Great pick if you enjoy:
-
Historical fiction with grit
-
Sister dynamics and tough decisions
-
Time-slip stories with real emotional weight
-
Clean romance and faith themes
-
A solid mix of heart, history, and hope
I’m loving this series more with each book. Two timelines? Double the drama.
** Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a comp of the book. The opinions are my own.
