People from other centuries slide into our time, intruding into our space, threatening our world.Frantically seeking a way to turn back this tide, the Hourglass begins a search for the legendary Infinityglass, tracking it to the city of New Orleans, a place where the past rests easily with the present.Quiet, reliable Dune, the group's favorite geek, is selected to travel to the Crescent City and somehow retrieve the renowned object.But there's a problem. Because the Infinityglass is not an object, it's a person.A beautiful, headstrong dancer named Hallie, a girl so enticing Dune can't take his eyes off her.And time is not on her side.

School Library Journal Review

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 (c) Copyright 2013.

Horn Book Review

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. (c) Copyright 2014.

Kirkus Book Review

Teens race to save time and space in this fast-paced third book. Dune Ta'ala accepts a job in New Orleans guarding the sullen, sheltered and superpowered 17-year-old Hallie Girard. Used to working with the Hourglass Institute, Dune finds himself among time-traveling thieves led by Hallie's father, Paul Girard, the true head of Chronos and an intimidating magic Mafia boss. Dune goes to study the Infinityglass--capable of transferring powers and fixing time rips and newly discovered to be a person rather than an object--but stays for the unpredictable but always entertaining Hallie. A chameleon, Hallie has found freedom in dancing, barhopping and occasional burglaries on her father's behalf, but now she discovers that she is not who or what she thought she was. Initially combative, Hallie grows to rely on Dune as the time rips grow stronger, her powers change, and the melodramatically villainous former head of Chronos, Teague, and the psychopathic memory-meddler, Jack Landers, come to town. Mysterious Poe and the Hourglass teens also make an appearance, and previous books are neatly recapped. McEntire (Timepiece, 2012) saves the romantic scenes from clich and wryly acknowledges all possible pop-culture inspirations in an enjoyable, fast read. Teen romance with, as Dr. Who (one of those pop-culture referents) might say, some "timey-wimey stuff" makes for good fun. (Science fiction. 14 up)]] Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
