Book Review ~ STEALING INFINITY by Alyson Noël

Stealing Infinity (Stealing Infinity, #1)
by: Alyson Noël
Series: Stealing Infinity
Genre: Teen/Young Adult Time Travel
Release Date: July 28, 2022
Publisher: Entangled Teen

These days, I’ve been killing it when it comes to letting people down. Now I’ve been kicked out of high school, arrested, and accepted into a remote, off-the-grid school owned and operated by an inscrutable billionaire tech guru.

Gray Wolf Academy is looking for a certain kind of student. Ones that no one will miss. Like me.

Then there’s Braxton. The beautiful, oddly anachronistic guy who showed up right when the trouble started. And he’s a total enigma—which means that I definitely can’t trust him, even if there’s something about him that makes me want to.

They all tell me I have a gift. A very rare gift. And Gray Wolf Academy wants me to learn it. To use it. Because if what they say is true, I have all the time in the world.

And that makes me the most dangerous high school student you’ll never know…



“Ready to venture into the vast unknown?”

Alyson Noël’s Stealing Infinity is an engrossing teen/young adult time travel mystery, with the possibility of romantic elements. Seventeen-year-old Natasha Clarke thinks she’s prepared for what’s to come. But nothing can prepare her to be swept away from life as she knows it and transported to Gray Wolf Academy, where time is an interesting concept, things aren’t exactly as they appear, and no one is to be trusted. This story has been described as Riverdale meets The Da Vinci Code. I have to say that’s a pretty accurate description.

When Natasha finds herself kicked out of school and arrested for theft, she’s offered a lifeline in the form of reclusive tech billionaire Arthur Blackstone. In exchange for Arthur improving her mother’s living situation and giving her a monthly stipend, Natasha agrees never to see her mother or anyone else in her life again, as she is to make her new home and life at Gray Wolf Academy.

If you were to ask me if I was a fan of time travel stories, my answer would be definitely not. But something about Stealing Infinity spoke to me and had me wanting to read the book. From the beginning, I was glued to the pages. I'm talking forget the rest of the world. 480 pages read in two days.

Alyson transports readers into the pages of Stealing Infinity where you’re learning things at the same moment as Natasha. You’re whisked into a world of time travel where you aren’t exactly sure what’s happening. And you start to wonder if all the events happening are good or not. Each page brings new discoveries and just when you think you might have things figured out, think again. There are so many “wow” moments to this page-turning story. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book.

Note, that there are triggering events in this story. Visit the publisher’s website for more information.

“Change is what you make of it.”

“When you can’t go back, the only choice left is to move forward.”

“The best thing about the past is that we get to pick and choose the parts that suit us and discard all the rest.”

“Boyfriends burn out pretty fast, while a good friend is in it for the duration.”

“Every moment has already been lived. And continues to be lived. Every choice you make causes your life to shoot off in a new direction. But at that moment of decision, all those varying choices and directions are viable - those roads are already paved. The only question is, which road will you take?”
