Good Books Are Like Gems

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier is an amazing book!  It is the first book in the Gem Trilogy.  Has anyone read the Selection trilogy?  (I will write write about them later after I read the last two books.) Did you like them?  If you did you will like these books too!
Ruby Red is about a sixteen year old girl named Gwyneth Shepherd.  One day she feels dizzy and ends up traveling back in time. (Crazy, right!)  At first, Gwyn doesn't believe that she traveled in time because her cousin Charlotte Montrose was supposed to inherit their families time traveling gene.
Okay I am going to stop there for a second.  This book sounds crazy, right?  Maybe a little to unreal for you?  But, I beg you - give this book a chance!  It will surprise you!  I am simply giving you the very basics of this book.  When you read it you will find out that this book has got a little romance between Gwyn and a amazingly dreamy seventeen year old guy time traveler.  This book has also got a lot of mysteries!  Did I mention Gwyn can see and speak to ghosts?
Upon, finding out that she has this gene she becomes part of a secret time traveling society.  With the help of this society she can control her time traveling.  She has to travel back in time everyday or she will have uncontrolled time traveling. (This is a dangerous and bad thing.)
Although the time traveling society are not all kind people.  They have many unneeded rules and regulations to "protect the past."
Also, Gwyn's cousin Charlotte had years of learning with the society because she was supposed to inherit the gene so for Gwyn they must start at stage one (the basics).  Because of her inexperience Gwyn is ultimately shunned by the society.  Because of this Gwyn rebels a little against the rules... I mean what harm could that do.  While bending the rules she finds out a plot by a man from the past.  He plans on living forever.  This may not seem like a big deal but he is manipulating the time traveling society to accomplish this.  He told them that if they do what he wants the will discover a cure to all world's diseases.  That is not even the worst part!  This man is is evil and he plans on doing anything to get what he wants.  Including kill Gwyn!  And no one believes her...
