The Forgotten Locket by Lisa Mangum

The Forgotten Locket is the third and final book in the trilogy by Lisa Mangum. Here is the plot line given from the book jacket:

When Abby stepped through the hourglass door, leaving her beloved Dante blind and bleeding on the other side, it was in full faith that she could find a way to repair the damage to the river of time and restore him—as well as her family. It was a desperate chance that seemed worth taking. But Zo had other plans. Now Abby is trapped in a full-fledged battle for her own mind and life and heart. Even worse, Zo’s evil intent reaches beyond simple revenge against her and Dante. The whole world is in danger of collapsing unless Abby can summon her courage and undertake a journey that will lead her beyond the origins of the hourglass door.

Okay, this book started off strong, taking up where the second book left off in both plot and excitement. This book is action packed and a page turner. However, I feel like the author kind of lost some of the facts about her time travel. Things start to not make as much sense and there doesn’t appear to be any reason for some of the things that happen. I particularly didn’t like the end. I felt the end didn’t make sense at all and it didn’t follow the time travel “rules” that were set up in the other two books. It felt like she just wanted to wrap it up so she did even though it didn’t make sense.

Overall, the series was a good read and was enjoyable. However, I did not like the ending of the trilogy which was a disappointment.
