Gr 9 Up—Hallie Girard, 17, has lived a sheltered, secluded life, and for good reason. She's "The Infinityglass…the freaking holy grail of time and believed to contain ultimate power over the space time continuum, among other things." With time running out, the Hourglass, an organization made up of individuals with supernatural abilities, sends their resident geek, Dune, to New Orleans to work with Hallie and assess her talent. Can they unlock the full force of Hallie's power before the evil Teague arrives to use it for her own nefarious purposes? Infinityglass neatly wraps up the trilogy, providing a satisfying whirlwind of spy adventure, steamy romance, and science fiction. With each successive installment in this series, the relationships get a little bit sweeter and a whole lot sexier. This is a terrific read for teens looking for the next great supernatural romance.—Sara Saxton, Tuzzy Consortium Library, Barrow, AK
In this third volume, Hallie asserts control over her life as the secrets of her ability to manipulate time--and her parents' manipulation of her--become clear. A too-facile romance with Dune, a member of the mysterious, powerful Hourglass organization, eases her struggle. Witty dialogue often substitutes for character development, and the intriguing time-twisting elements require familiarity with Hourglass and Timepiece.
