Window of Time #3
Window of Darkness: Book 3 in the Window of Time Trilogy
The difference between a gift and a curse is only a matter of perspective.
To Lucy Cartwright, a glimpse into the future means a chance to save innocent people from an untimely death to live another day—or for a lifetime. In her eyes, it’s a true gift. Her uncle has a different way of looking at the ability he shares with his niece. To him, it’s a curse that tortures his soul so badly he wants it to end. It drives him insane. But when he wants to stop Lucy’s curse before he dies, she has to hunt him down before he finds her first.

Enjoyment of this book is very much dependent on suspension of disbelief. Lucy is a CIA agent with an uncanny ability for successfully solving crimes despite continuously acting to compromise investigations. While this was hinted at in the first book in the series, by this, the third instalment, the lack of intelligence involved in any of Lucy's decisions has been well and truly confirmed. Throughout the series, she's concealed the identity of a serial killer, used a rolled up piece of paper (rather than an alarm system) to secure her home, failed to notice that her father isn't a carpenter, gone after said serial killer on her own and without telling anyone else her whereabouts, and completely disregarded medical advice, most likely while dealing with a concussion. The biggest problem though would have to be the constant demonstration of her "gift" for foreseeing deaths of random innocents every time she leaves the house.
Some of the subplots are perplexing. There are the FBI and CIA agents who don't notice their suspects are carrying concealed weapons whilst being interviewed. (This plot point happens more than once; perhaps the I stands for idiocy in this fictional universe). The doctor who seems to be available to go on whatever adventure Lucy deems necessary, while holding down a job at the CIA and performing the occasional bit of surgery in the emergency department. The serial killer who remains at large for over 20 years despite a compulsion to steal semitrailers and murder women with long hair.
But if you can get past all of this, and want a piece of pure escapism for a few hours, then this might just be the series for you. As a piece of fluff, it's kind of fun.

This is the third book in the series and I am glad that I had a chance to read all three. I could not put this one down I had to keep reading it.
Events are taken to the conclusion and I am glad that they were written that way.
I am so glad that DJ Erfert gave us a strong female character that can take care of herself.
I am sure that you will like this book.
Enjoy

WOW! What a crazy ride! This is an intense, edge of your seat action to the very last moment. I couldn't put it down. D.J. writes with such intensity that you can't help but be pulled into the world of her mind.
It's a race of life and death, literally, but who's will it be and why? These and more answer are finally answered in this high thrilling conclusion of this trilogy.
