For the first time in her life, Hope Walton has friends . . . and a (maybe) boyfriend. She’s a Viator, a member of a long line of time-traveling ancestors. When the Viators learn of a plan to steal a dangerous device from the inventor Nikola Tesla, only a race into the past can save the natural timeline from utter destruction. Navigating the glitterati of The Gilded Age in 1895 New York City, Hope and her crew will discover that high society can be as deadly as it is beautiful.

*sees The Princess Bride gif and immediately adds the book to her TBR because I mean, THE PRINCESS BRIDE* I remember seeing something a while back about Into the Dim, but I never knew much about it. I’ll definitely investigating it now. This was so much fun, and glad you’re not in a closet somewhere, Krysti. XD
