I was in an accident. I got out. I’m safe now.
An alternate Victorian world controlled by clock towers, where a damaged clock can fracture time—and a destroyed one can stop it completely.
A prodigy mechanic who can repair not only clockwork but time itself, determined to rescue his father from a Stopped town.
A series of mysterious bombings that could jeopardize all of England.
A boy who would give anything to relive his past, and one who would give anything to live at all.
A romance that will shake the very foundations of time.
I think I’m a steampunk fan – I’ve read several steampunk books and enjoyed all of them, and I adored the Victorian London setting in this novel.
The whole premise of clocks controlling time tantalized me, and I connected with Danny almost immediately. I know clocks and cogs aren’t for everyone, but the fact that Danny could ‘feel’ time and diagnose a clock’s problem fascinated me. His relationship with Colton was very sweet, although a bit on the ‘insta-love’ side, but I chose to overlook that.
Timekeeper had been in my TBR for a while, and when the theme for one of my book clubs was an LGBT novel, I immediately thought of this one. A perfect selection, and one I’d recommend.
Wow! I love the concept, Teri. But I like the idea so much that it makes expectations that are higher than anyone should have… It’s hard not to, when such a fantastic concept explodes onto the brain. Best of luck to Tara. Thanks for letting us know about this one. Hugs.

It was so much fun – makes you look at clocks in a completely different way.
