Love the cover,love the blurb.

Tyme's End is written in 3 parts starting in 2006, then going back to 1996, then back further to 1936.
The first part begins with Bibi, an ungrateful 16 year old, who feels she doesn't belong anywhere, except the abandoned Tyme's End. Here Bibi meets Oliver, the current owner of the house. Oliver doesn't want to be at Tyme's End but like Bibi is drawn there.
The second part of the book centers around a 17 year old Oliver, living with his grandfather. After an upset with his grandfather, Oliver finds the key to Tyme's End in his study and feels he has to go there. The 3rd part is centred around Oliver's Grandfather (also called Oliver) and his meeting H J Martin, and his time at Tyme's End.
Tyme's End originally belonged to H J Martin, who made me think Lawrence of Arabia! Martin had war service in Arabia, and was killed while riding a motorcycle.

It's in the 2nd and 3rd parts are where the mystery surrounding the house unfolds, one minute it seems like a warm and welcoming home, and the next an evil sinister house. This wasn't a book that had me gripped to every page but in parts it did, I especially loved the descriptions of what young Oliver was feeling whilst at Tyme's End as a 17 year old, very sinister!
I found it an enjoyable read, with like able characters, thought I didn't warm to Bibi to begin with, ungrateful little madam! There are quite a few twists in the book, making you think it's panning out one way, but ends up the other! ( )

Good YA. ( )
