Description
Then she meets Valcas, an otherworldly time traveler who traverses time and space with a pair of altered sunglasses. When an ethereal being knocks Calla to the ground near her family’s lakeside cottage, Valcas uses the Travel Glasses to help her escape. He offers his further protection in exchange for a promise. Intrigued by Valcas and the possibility of time travel, Calla accepts. That is until she learns that his search for her was no mere coincidence.
Calla sets off on her own, taking the Travel Glasses with her. Torn between searching for her estranged father and reuniting with the rest of her family, she tracks down the inventor of the Travel Glasses in hopes of discovering more about Valcas’ past and motivations. The Travel Glasses take Calla’s mistrust of technology to all new levels. But without them, she’ll never make it back home. With Valcas hot on her trail, Calla hopes to find what she’s looking for before he catches up.
The Call to Search Everywhen is a serial series of novel-length installments.

I usually read any book I can about time travel since I enjoy the subject. I found the book to be engaging and adventurous. Some reviews have said that they found the time travel concept unbelievable/not explained well. As long as there is no contradictory information, I generally don't mind suspending belief and/or not having the time travel fully explained. So be warned if this sort of thing bothers you.
There was a moment early on in the book in which the main character started screaming in response to something revealed during a conversation. I really found this particular reaction odd and it didn't seem to fit how I thought she would respond. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. I am interested in reading more in the series.
This was not a typical time travel story I found the people that died were omit to quickly and seem the most interesting.
Time travel, mystery, romance and plenty of adventure, this book captivated me with interesting characters and a plot that was unlike anything I had ever read before. From the first page when a shy girl named Calla, is knocked off her feet moments before the arrival of a mysterious male named Valcas, I was intrigued and wanted to know what was going on. The mystery of who Valcas is, and why he chose Calla to run away with continues throughout the book as we learn more about both of them .
I had a hard time putting this one down even reading as much as I could while cooking dinner for my family. While the target audience is young adult, and at fifty-years-old I’m quite a bit past that, I enjoyed this immensely. I would recommend that other adults look past the age ratings and discover a world of fascinating books.
