Julie Cross's Vortex is the thrilling second installment of the Tempest series, in which the world hangs in the balance as a lovelorn Jackson must choose whom to save.

Jackson Meyer has thrown himself into his role as an agent for Tempest, the shadowy division of the CIA that handles all time-travel-related threats. Despite his heartbreak at losing the love of his life, Jackson has proved himself to be an excellent agent. However, after an accidental run in with Holly - the girl he altered history to save - Jackson is once again reminded of what he's lost. And when Eyewall, an opposing division of the CIA, emerges, Jackson and his fellow agents not only find themselves under attack, but Jackson begins to discover that the world around him has changed and someone knows about his erased relationship with Holly, putting both their lives at risk all over again.

not as good as book 1

loved book 1 and even pre ordered book 2 but was a bit disappointed, was glad the journey continued but it was a bit repetitive and it has become more of a money making book.
meaning it was just written to have another book not because the the author had so many more thing to tell.
i would second guess buying book 3 after listening to this one.

Good story, if a bit confusing

I've enjoyed this series so far. However, I found the second book harder to keep up with than the first. The timelines and crossing between them got to be hard to keep track of. But, whenever I got back on track, I continued to enjoy the story.

Narration: Unfortunately. I'm not a fan of Matthew Brown. His female voices are indistinguishable from one another and he only has 2-3 distinct male voices, unless a regional access is involved. That makes listening to the story a bit more difficult. I usually have to wait for a character to state who's talking.

The Perfect Book... for a love struck 10-12 y/o.

How many of the same teenage love scenes can be repeatedly pressed into one book? Nope. Your answer will be too low. This is the kind of book that forces the reader to really push through to be able to complete it. This book, and series, represent the worst of time travel novels.

Bill and Ted are laughing at this book.
