In Timebound, did you enjoy ...

... the thrill of jumping across centuries to untangle family secrets and fix a warped timeline?

The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig

If you loved how Kate uses the CHRONOS medallion to chase Saul’s changes and unearth Katherine’s past—especially the tense jumps to places like the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair—The Girl from Everywhere gives you that same wander-anywhen rush. Nix sails on a time-traveling ship that navigates by maps, hunting for a very specific piece of the past that could rewrite her family’s fate, with all the moral knots and butterfly effects Kate faces when the Cyrists alter history.

... a mission-driven race to stop a dangerous mastermind before he locks in a darker future?

All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill

In Timebound, Kate pushes against Saul Rand’s rise and the Cyrists’ engineered timeline; here, Em is trapped in a cell in a future she’s desperate to erase and must break out to assassinate the brilliant friend who becomes that future’s tyrant. The focused, stop-him-before-he-changes-everything urgency mirrors Kate’s objective when she trains with Katherine and risks jumps to derail Saul’s plans.

... breakneck time-loop stakes where each reset rewrites lives and ups the danger?

Recursion by Blake Crouch

If the whiplash pace of Kate’s jumps—timeline wipeouts, sudden resets that erase relationships like hers with Trey, and last-second course corrections—hooked you, Recursion delivers that same adrenaline. As a memory-tech spreads, reality keeps rebooting, and the protagonists must sprint through cascading timelines to stop the catastrophe, much like Kate racing to stay a step ahead of Saul’s edits to history.

... a cross-century romance strained by shifting timelines and impossible choices?

Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

Enjoyed Kate’s tangled heart between Trey and the out-of-time pull of Kiernan as the Cyrists’ changes threaten to erase what they’ve built? In Passenger, Etta is thrust into a lineage of time travelers and partnered with Nicholas; their chemistry has to survive dangerous jumps, family machinations, and paradoxes—echoing the way Kate’s relationships bend and test under the pressure of altered timelines.

... a capable teen heroine thrown into a secret time-travel society and forced to level up fast?

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

If you connected with Kate Pierce-Keller—suddenly inheriting the CHRONOS gift, learning from Katherine, and standing up to Saul’s cult—Gwyneth in Ruby Red is a similarly headstrong teen thrust into a hidden order of time travelers. Watching her adapt quickly, challenge authority, and navigate dangerous historical missions will scratch the same itch as Kate’s growth from confused recruit to confident timeline defender.
