At a school where Quantum Paradox 101 is a required course and history field trips are literal, sixteen year-old time traveler Bree Bennis excels…at screwing up.
After Bree botches a solo midterm to the 21st century by accidentally taking a boy hostage (a teensy snafu), she stands to lose her scholarship. But when Bree sneaks back to talk the kid into keeping his yap shut, she doesn't go back far enough. The boy, Finn, now three years older and hot as a solar flare, is convinced he's in love with Bree, or rather, a future version of her that doesn't think he's a complete pain in the arse. To make matters worse, she inadvertently transports him back to the 23rd century with her.
Once home, Bree discovers that a recent rash of accidents at her school are anything but accidental. Someone is attacking time travelers. As Bree and her temporal tagalong uncover seemingly unconnected clues―a broken bracelet, a missing data file, the art heist of the millennium―that lead to the person responsible, she alone has the knowledge to piece the puzzle together. Knowledge only one other person has. Her future self.
But when those closest to her become the next victims, Bree realizes the attacker is willing to do anything to stop her. In the past, present, or future.

A Great Addition to YA/Sci-FI Genre
By Book Flame
Every time I hear about a new book that has to do with time travel I get all excited and just have to get my hands on it even though only a few have truly impressed me and that I love beyond all measure I still gravitate towards books that have to do with the subject matter and Loop did not disappoint. Loop was actually very entertaining and I couldn't get enough of it.
Time travel in all the books I've read so far is always secretive stuff but in Loop Akins created a world in which everyone knows about it, people who have the gene are micro-chipped and everything is regulated. There were multiple timelines going on, past and future selves of characters showing up, and time jumps which I actually found fairly easy to keep up with.
As far as Bree goes the girl is awesome with an amazing voice. She is funny as can be, I found myself laughing out loud quite a bit being inside her head. Her mom is in a coma which she is highly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding that situation, her future self is doing things in the past which is frustrating her including being in a relationship with Finn which her present self is totally baffled by the idea of that. What I loved the most was that the book really did focus mostly on the plot and the romance was there but the characters kept their priorities straight.
Speaking of Finn, I loved him just as much as Bree. Finn already knows Bree, the future Bree in an intimate level but the present Bree we know has no clue about any of it, the only memory she has of Finn is the scrawny kid she took hostage during her brief trip to the 21st century while on a class assignment while screwing up a side job that she was hired to take on by a gangster who uses shifters for his own personal gains in the 23rd Century. Anyways Finn is a sweetheart he will do whatever it takes to protect Bree and cares for her deeply, unfortunately present Bree can't stand him at times since her future self has him holding onto secrets that he wont tell her.
I know all this can sound confusing but trust me when you start reading the book it's not. Akins did a great job making sure everything makes sense and it is all very easy to follow. Loop was incredibly fast paced with tons of action and never a dull moment.
There are also a ton of secondary characters who play key roles in driving the plot. I really thought I knew who the bad guy was marking that aspect of it predictable until the bad guy was revealed and I was just sitting there dumbfounded I did not see that coming at all.
Overall even though there were quite a bit of seriousness to the book it felt like a fun lighthearted time travel book and it is a great addition to the Sci-Fi genre.

A Fun, Light-Hearted Sci-Fi Novel!
By Jon (Scott Reads It!)
I couldn’t tell you the last time I had this much fun reading a novel, I needed to read a book like Loop. Karen Akins’s debut tackles time travel in a manner that is not only engaging and light-hearted, but still complex and intriguing. Akins fills Loop with snarky humor and dialogue without sacrificing any of the gritty, intricate details that are commonly associated with sci-fi novels. I devoured this book with a huge smile on my face and it totally made my day that much better.
Bree goes to a school for Shifters (time-travelers) and Transporters (they help time travelers coordinate their destinations). Her school assignments include time traveling to the past and delivering goods to the past, but she doesn’t have the ability to change the past. When Bree accidentally kidnaps a boy named Finn, she gets entangled in the past and violates the shifter rules she’s sworn to obey. Nothing is turning out like Bree expected and she is not endangering herself, but the lives of Finn and her mother.
I absolutely loved Bree, she was such a hilarious and brave main character who refused to let people push her around. When Finn storms into her life, acting like the sun revolves around him, Bree doesn’t take his garbage and she refuses his request to protect her. Bree doesn’t need a guy to protect her — heck , she saves Finn a few times throughout the book and still has time to tell him off. Did I mention that she wolfs down french fries and has an irrational fear of squirrels? Bree is such a wonderful heroine and I loved watching her unravel the mysteries surrounding her mother.
The romance in Loop was one of my favorite aspects of the book because it had such a magical vibe to it. I loved the strange way that Akins brought our two characters together and how she defied typical romantic conventions when constructing Bree and Finn’s romance. I was so happy that Akins didn’t make Finn the perfect god-like love interest, she made him flawed and so damn likeable. It doesn’t matter how infuriating or clingy Finn is, readers will absolutely love his character (even when they find out that he isn’t the best kisser).
Loop introduces some extremely epic technology and time-travel concepts that aren’t difficult to comprehend. There were so many cool devices in this novel that I just needed in my life and someone needs to get on making the Pods from these books ASAP. The tech here is extremely futuristic and imaginative — these gadgets aren’t the ones you remember from watching The Jetsons. Usually time-travel books are filled with so much timey-wimey concepts that my head starts to spin and everything seems so convoluted, but not in Loop. Sure, Akins does introduce a plethora of explanations to explain time-travel, but they’re excellent in that they explain some features of it and leave the rest to the imagination. Explaining something completely just helps take all of the mystery and wonder out of it, plus it makes everything 1000x more complicated and mundane (a computer doesn’t seem quite as amazing when you just think of it as wires and circuits).
I really had such a pleasant experience reading this novel from start to finish (despite the fact that the villain is slightly cartoonish). If you’ve already finished the Tempest trilogy, Loop is a perfect book to read as a follow-up because this book also has an irresistible mix of sci-fi and romance elements. I wish I could time-travel into the future so I could read the sequel now, where’s a TARDIS when you need one?

an action-packed story with humor and excitement
By Miss Print
"You can't change the past. One of those weird temporal loops that couldn't be explained."
Bree Bennis lives in the twenty-third century where, because of a special gene mutation, she can travel anywhere in time. It's been years since travelers had to hide their unique skills but Bree knows better than most that time travel is still greeted with suspicion and even disdain by those unable to travel.
Bree used to be at the top of all of her classes. Now her biggest talent seems to involve making a mess of things.
After her solo midterm to the twenty-first century goes spectacularly wrong, Bree knows she's in big trouble. Failing to complete her mission is one thing. Accidentally revealing herself to a boy and sort of taking him hostage? That could get Bree expelled. Or worse.
The only option is to try to sneak back and try to complete her midterm before anyone notices. The only problem is Bree ends up missing her target destination. She finds the boy--Finn who is now three years older and at least three times more attractive--but before she can fix anything Bree is pulled back to her own time. With Finn. Who claims that he and Bree's future self are . . . dating?
Bree has plenty to do between hiding Finn and not flunking out of school when she learns that a rash of accidents have been taking out time travelers around the school. Turns out the attacks are anything but accidental and with Finn's help Bree soon realizes she might be the only one able to find the person responsible and stop them before their timeline is irreparably damaged in Loop (2014) by Karen Akins.
Loop is Akins' first novel and the first half of a duology that completes with Twist.
Loop dives right into the action when Bree's life goes from bad to worse after everything goes wrong on her midterm. Bree manages to take everything in stride with only a few choice (and possibly made up) swear words to help. As Bree delves deeper into secrets about her own past (and future) she also realizes she might be at the tip of a very big problem--one her future self knew Bree would have to try to solve.
Akins skillfully combines science fiction adventure with a fascinating mystery to create a story that is as original as it is fun. Although some plot points--particularly clues left for Bree--are often obvious, Bree and Finn's journey as they try to understand what brought them together more than makes up for it.
Bree's world is filled with casual wonders ranging from automated travel pods to Pegamoos, all of which are brought to life in vivid prose. In a story that literally spans centuries, the world-building to top notch and gives Loop a strong sense of place no matter where or when Bree finds herself.
Bree's voice is distinct and snappy, making this book conversational and completely fascinating. While the romance in Loop is a big draw, Bree also has a great character arc as she tries to reconcile who she is in her present with who she seems to be in the future. With massive conspiracies, clues left across time, and a displaced romance that is often baffling to Bree, Loop is an action-packed story with humor and excitement.
