My thanks to Random House Publishing, Ballantine, Bantam and Netgalley.
I finished this book a few days ago, but had to wait to leave a review until I had de-stressed a bit! 😬 These 5 books have been up and down for me. I loved book one, hated book two, and was pretty happy with the rest. There has been so much death of side characters that I worried my behind off about this one. Don't get me wrong, because I like authors who kill characters willy nilly, but dang it, it does ratchet up the tension. Jane and all the good people she met along the way are wonderful characters. Luckily, there were quite a few laughs along the way. The bad guys were mostly all nutjobs. Scary, sometimes funny and I did enjoy seeing them bite the dust! The thing with these books were how the brain nano-webs work, and who and why some insanomaniacs would think it's a great idea. This is something that could happen. The thought is terrifying. What kept this from being a 5 star series though is something as simple as the characters being so over the top exaggerated. Almost like a comic book. Still, I loved the series, and the ending. I'm often amazed a what writers come up with! Also, and I never say this, but I think this would make a great T.V. show.
This is a book "series of books" that I'd recommend. Just start at the beginning or you'll miss all the good stuff that leads to the end.

I have never read a Dean Koontz book before but I heard really great things about him. However, this book is not for me. I love thriller type books, which this is, and the storyline is very captivating. My personal issue with the book was all of the character jumping, it’s not my taste. I can handle 2 characters perspectives but more than that gets lost on me. When I requested it, I also didn’t realize it was part of a series: I think this also hindered my being able to get into this book. So I did not finish it because I personally could not get into it. BUT, the premise is seriously awesome and would make a fantastic movie!

The last in a series of 5 books was worth the read. Jane Hawk is the toughest female lead character I’ve read in a long time. It’s great to find books with such a strong female lead, I don’t see that very often, even in our present day. I would enjoy watching a movie based on this series, I think it would appeal to many movie goers. Reading this last book helped make sense of some of the parts in the fourth book as well. My review of the last book wasn’t as good as this book because some of the characters didn’t seem to fit in with past scenes, but this installment of the series makes that connection for me now. I recommend the entire series, especially if you’re new to this author like I was. I’m really forward to discovering this author’s past works now.

In Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk finale, we follow the heroine to either the end of the Earth as we know it or the saving of our way of life. Koontz incorporates several memorable characters into the story. There is the young filmmaker hunted for sport across a huge Colorado ranch by one of the many Arcadian billionaires. There are the normal everyday people who help Jane as she tries to defeat the Arcadians and be able to live peacefully with her son. There is a Vegas mobster and his homicidal sociopath chasing Jane’s son and his protectors. Finally there is the former FBI hacker, who devises a way to for once and all, end the rule and dominance of the Arcadians. I am a fan of Jane Hawk and love the books about her story. The only criticism I have is that there are times in the book where the verbiage is too much and takes away from the story.

The Night Window is the fifth book in Dean Koontz Jane Hawk series. I've heard rumors that there will be a sixth or seventh book, but, I haven't heard anything from the author, so this appears to be the end of our association with Jane Hawk. If we have to say goodbye to a great character, everything comes together in a way that will not have you regret the time you have spent with Jane.
At this point in the story, I would not suggest that you start with The Night Window. While there is backstory, I don't think you would 'feel' for the character of Jane(or her son Travis, or any of the good people they have met along the way) if you haven't been along since the beginning with The Silent Corner. Jane has been searching for who or what made her husband commit suicide, and has uncovered a far-reaching conspiracy and some really bad people as the story progressed. The major question that remains is can Jane get the proof to someone who will believe her and can she escape with her life. Well, no spoilers here, but I will say there is a satisfying conclusion and there is plenty left to the imagination as to what will happen in the future.
I hated saying goodbye to Odd Thomas and I feel the same about Jane Hawk. I guess the only thing is that if Mr. Koontz was still writing Odd books, well, we might not have Jane and whatever comes next. Out of all the books, The Silent Corner and The Forbidden Door were my favorites. The Night Window doesn't publish until May, so you have plenty of time to discover Jane Hawk.4.5 stars. Highly recommended.

I just literally read the last page of this book and wanted to sit down to write a review. This is the final book in the Jane Hawk Series and I was very pleased with the closure Dean Koontz gave to the storyline and characters in this final installment. The book brings together some characters from the past and is as fully engaging and suspenseful as all of the other books in this series. I kept wondering how on earth could this story end in any way, except with bittersweet triumph of good over evil. Dean Koontz gave us the perfect ending to this story. There are some books (series) that are written that somehow just stay with you and this series is definitely one of them for me. Thank you, Dean Koontz, for another great book/series!

What a kick ass strong character so sorry to see the end. Even if you haven't read the whole series this books gives you enough background to know what has been happening.

It makes sense to add new characters to keep the story of Jane Hawk and her fight against the Techno Arcadians who have developed a nano technology that can control the minds of individuals and make them subservient. Jane’s husband was killed in the first novel of this series and in this final one, it all comes to a head. I have enjoyed the previous four and this one also. There are some subplots going on which made me not want to put the book down to see how it all plays out. Enjoyable and intense, and hate to see this series end. But all good things must come to an end.

This is the fifth book in the Jane Hawk series. Jane, an FBI agent will take you on a wild ride in this contemporary thriller. Fast-paced, it's full of action, danger, and suspense. Warning, once you begin this book you'll find it hard to put down. This book is the climax to the series. I read a copy via Net Galley and voluntarily chose to review.

A great ending to this fantastic series. I recommend this series to my customers who love Lee Child and most have come back to read the series, it's that good! Jane Hawk is just as good as Jack Reacher!

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to review this book free for my honest opinion.
I was immediately swept into the story of Jane Hawk FBI agent on the run and trying to save her career,her life and the world from evil villains virtually in the highest of offices in government and law enforcement who have taken over the minds of innocent people by injecting them with nanoweapons, with help from a sweet admirer who is also one heck of a computer genius and his very loving family they must stay alive long enough to figure out how to stop the evil from encompassing the world making humans mindless tools of death. This book doesn't disappoint it will keep you interested to the end.

Oh, I was sorry to see this one end! Jane and her unconventional band of protectors will touch your heart and make you slightly less cynical about human nature, Of course delving too deeply into the nefarious Arcadian group will give new meaning to "adjusted". Great introduction of new intergral characters. Found myself rooting for Tom Buckle and loved Vikram. Beautifully written and all to believable.

SPOILER ALERT. This was a roller coaster through a sociopathic nightmare. I couldn’t put it down and had started writing notes to help me tie up my readings. In this installment, Families new and initiated were entwined in a Jules Verne forever after which included a satisfying but melancholic ending. There was sufficient closure; unfortunately I personally needed a little bit more. The main antagonist was sufficiently eliminated by his own chaos intervention. Others who had been instrumental from the beginning in the brutal suicides and torture, well......... I don’t want this full of spoilers but the author tied it up in a neat little bow that would have left me and the good guys looking over my shoulders. Maybe there was enough killings and decided that it wouldn’t benefit the storyline. The whole idea of a great story is to make us think and grow. The Night Window exceeded this goal and made me weep. Kudos to Dean Koontz who knows how to make us seem better than we are.

Just the way it is:

I am not big on female leads because they are always "overpowered"

I am not much on serial/series because the writing always tails off

Yet here I am reviewing #5 and I liked them all. Yes Jane is "wonder-womanish" at times and DK still tries 'pretty prose' in spots that slows the pace to a crawl but the Techno-Arcadians are easy to hate and the action for the most part is good and the climax makes up for any negatives. I think you will enjoy this one, now if we can only get DK to write a standalone. . . . .

This was such an amazing series and I am so sad that it has finished. I think it would make a terrific movie! This was a rare book which pulled me in from the very first page and kept me pulled in all through the book. It all started when Jane Hawk’s husband killed himself, for no obvious reason. He and Jane adored each other and their small son. Jane was an FBI agent, determined to find the reason for her husband’s death and eventually went “rogue”. She discovered people were injected with a serum that sent nano-machines to their brain and they were then controlled by their ‘master’. Jane was always on the run, but making headway in discovering those responsible who often were individuals in the government, both federal and civic. Jane’s son was in hiding with responsible and trustworthy people. Along the way Jane meets people who help her, because they can see the truth in her and do not believe the media who talk of her as a beautiful monster who killed her husband and probably her son. Jane inspires loyalty and deep friendship in those who believe in her and this brought tears to my eyes. Those close to her were willing to give their lives to help Jane.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this final book of the series. I’ve loved the whole series, but especially this final installment. I do not want to spoil anything, so if you’ve read the rest of the series than you should definitely read this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC, it was an honor and a privilege.

This is the fifth and last book in the series. If you are looking to get this book, you must already know that it is a series, one which I feel must be read in order. There is SOOOO much I want to say about this book, but I do not want to spoil it for anyone who is an avid reader of the Dean Koontz Jane Hawk series. One thing I can say is that when you finish this book, the story is over. Jane has taken up with another very lovable and strange character who I think, from the way the book ended, almost had to be pulling at her heart strings. I don’t recall chuckling at any time in this book. Too much serious stuff to be giggling about anything! The writing is so spectacular; it takes no effort at all to put myself right into the action. I was so worried as I read. Would I be devastated or would I be happy when it’s over or would I just be relieved? As I’ve come to find, no one individual is ever immune to death in the Jane Hawk series.

Back in 2017 we were introduced to Jane Hawk in The Silent Corner. And now with the highly awaited fifth and final installment, #TheNightWindow, we find out how it all ends. Wow! What a ride. Glad to finally know how everything gets wrapped up yet somewhat sad to see this action-packed, couldn’t put it down journey come to its exciting conclusion.

Jane, a former FBI Agent, is trying to save the world from the Arcadians’ mind controlling nano technology. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was always a favorite movie so this story line had me hooked from the start. The entertaining cast of characters, both heroes and bad guys, made for an enjoyable adventure.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I was anxious about how Dean Koontz was going to conclude this series. The final book is non-stop action, flipping from Jane to her son to some new characters. I liked how Koontz wrapped up the story, leaving us with hope for the future.

Jane Hawk and her small contingent of faithful friends are trying to stop the Arcadians from taking over humanity. Jane is a former FBI agent gone rogue. She knows her time is running out. She needs to stop what is happening. The Arcadians could be anyone. In high places or low. Their goal is to enslave humanity and have them do their bidding. All they have to do is insert a nanoweb by shot into their brain. That person is then in the hands of the Arcadians, ready to do their bidding, no matter what.
Dean Koontz had written another spectacular story. He is an exceptional author no easily outdone by any other. His stories have depth, feeling, and strength of characters and storyline.
Excellent!!
