Tempest by Julie Cross

Goodreads synosis:
The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future.

Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.

But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or kill him.

Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world.

I've seen this on so many different book blogs now that it has really caught my attention (definitely a statement about the power that us book bloggers have!).
Time travel is not something that I come across very often (apart from the episodes of Doctor Who that I love so much), so it's something that's a little different from the norm for me.
It's also quite refreshing to see a YA book in this genre with a male protagonist too - it's been quite a while, I now realize, since I read a book with a male protagonist (there was Firmin, but that was literary fiction and very different from this).

I think this one will be a refreshing change all round - I look forward to getting a copy soon (when it comes out). Maybe I can drops some subtle hints in time for my birthday in February... ;P
