Silver Trilogy series.
Translated by Anthea Bell.
Anabel--who tried to kill dream-traveling protagonist Liv Silver in prior books--is free from the psychiatric hospital and villainous classmate Arthur can now mind-control people in their dreams. Surrounded by danger from these adversaries, Liv, Grayson, and Henry must decide how far they're willing to go to protect those they love. The trilogy's main plot inches toward a climactic conclusion that ultimately wraps up neatly in this finale.

As sixteen-year-old Gwyneth becomes more deeply embroiled in the secret society of time travelers that she unexpectedly joined in Ruby Red, the mysteries surrounding her family and a stolen chronograph multiply. Meanwhile, Gwen's romance with time-traveling partner Gideon heats up. Gwen's engaging, contemporary, often funny narration, coupled with quick pacing and tantalizing cliffhangers, will keep readers on the hook for book three.

Translated by Anthea Bell.
When "ordinary" Gwyneth (instead of well-prepared cousin Charlotte) unexpectedly inherits her family's time-travel gene, much adventure ensues. The story flies by, complete with mysterious societies, ghosts, stolen chronographs, sinister villains, romantic entanglements, and many costume changes. The pace never flags, and Gwen's narration is consistently engaging and often funny in this readable novel, first in a projected trilogy.
