Summary

The bank is eroding. The barriers are thinning. And time is running out.

The hourglass door has closed behind Dante, sending him back in time to hunt down Zo, Tony, and V. Although giving him up was the hardest test she ever faced, Abby knows that Dante is the only one who can stop the others from destroying time itself. But almost immediately, things start to change, and Abby's worst fears are realized when Zo begins targeting her past specifically.

With each new change that ripples into her present, Abby's life continues to spiral out of control. Her relationships with Jason, Natalie, and even her family are threatened to the breaking point. Zo's power is greater than Abby ever imagined. Will her love for Dante be enough to turn the tide?

Horn Book Review

Abby's time-traveling boyfriend, Dante, has gone through the hourglass door in pursuit of destructive Zo. But when Zo wreaks havoc on her past, present, and future, Abby knows it's up to her to seek help, stop Zo, and save Dante. As in The Hourglass Door, inconsistencies in logic and vague explanations for supernatural components may jerk readers out of this portal fantasy. Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc.

Excerpts

"He's gone, Abby," Jason said quietly, sliding his arm around my shoulder and leaning his head against mine. "And he's not coming back." I closed my eyes, and for one small flash of time I wondered if Jason was right. It had been weeks, and if Dante had survived the passage through the door a second time, then he, like Zo, was now a master of time. He could go anywhere and any when he wanted. And if that was the case, then why hadn't he come back to me, if only to let me know he was okay? Deep down I knew he would come if he could, but since he hadn't, I feared that it was because he couldn't . I worried that something had happened to him somewhere along the river of time. What if he had never made it past the door? What if he was trapped somewhere on the bank, or lost in time? What if he'd already confronted Zo . . . and lost? What if I never found out what happened to him? What if he was gone forever? Excerpted from The Golden Spiral by Lisa Mangum All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
