Two o’clock was missing.
In an alternate Victorian world controlled by clock towers, a damaged clock can fracture time—and a destroyed one can stop it completely.
It’s a truth that seventeen-year-old clock mechanic Danny Hart knows all too well; his father has been trapped in a Stopped town east of London for three years. Though Danny is a prodigy who can repair not only clockwork but the very fabric of time, his fixation with staging a rescue is quickly becoming a concern to his superiors.
And so they assign him to Enfield, a town where the tower seems to be forever plagued with problems. Danny’s new apprentice both annoys and intrigues him, and though the boy is eager to work, he maintains a secretive distance. Danny soon discovers why: he is the tower’s clock spirit, a mythical being that oversees Enfield’s time. Though the boys are drawn together by their loneliness, Danny knows falling in love with a clock spirit is forbidden and means risking everything he’s fought to achieve.
But when a series of bombings at nearby towers threaten to Stop more cities, Danny must race to prevent Enfield from becoming the next target or he’ll not only lose his father but the boy he loves—forever.
This is the stunning first novel in a new trilogy by debut author Tara Sim.

If not for the plot and action dragging painfully for most of the last third and rather nonsensical ending, that had me metaphorically tugging my hair in frustration, this would've easily received a higher rating from me. The deliberate obtuseness of the main character at times also had me rolling my eyes, but thankfully I found the fantastical youthful romance too sweet to pass up and Colton just had my heart melting with his sweetness. The magical world-building and mystery also keep me intrigued, and that by itself is already a clear incentive to pick up the rest of the trilogy. The narration was definitely good, too.
