I gave this one three stars as I do almost all of her books under all three names, but I really didn't enjoy this one as much as her Amanda Quick (my favorite) and Jayne Ann Krentz novels. The futuristic novels just don't appeal to me as much.I do like Rainshadow Island, though. This story is abo...
I like the Arcane Series and this is the 3rd in the Dreamlight Trilogy, but the 7th in the overall series. This book takes place on Harmony in the future. Adam Winters is the new head of the local Ghost Hunter Guild. His ancestor was into alchemy and actually changed the DNA of his lineage. I...
When psychic Rachel Bonner firsts meets wealthy Harry Sebastian on Rainshadow Island, it’s lust at first sight. So when he appears dressed in black at her front door the next day seeking shelter from the storm, it’s time for a closer look and a reexamination of her feelings. As she studies the “s...
I received this as a free book and I have to say after having read it that I would have definitely paid for it. I enjoyed the fact that it was an otherworldly book with unique characters. I absolutely adored Houdini the "dust bunny" who sounded super cute. I almost wish that I had one of my ow...
Jayne Castle’s futuristic novels set in Harmony have just the right amount of paranormal, mystery and love to keep you going from one book to the next. There are nine books in the series so far and I am pretty certain there will be more. These books are stand alones, but all relate to each other....
I liked Marlowe Jones and Gibson. She is a strong female character, and he is a dust bunny. The Harmony books are mostly light, fun, fast reads which appealed to me this week. Other than the first two, each book can be read as an 'only,' since the author has backstory strategically placed, but th...
It's no secret that I am a big fan of Jayne Ann Krentz's writing. THE LOST NIGHT written under her Jayne Castle nom de plume is a wonderful, thrilling read. Essentially, this novel is sci-fi, fantasy romantic suspense. The author is quite creative in the invention of Rainshadow Island. Rachel Bla...
Silver Master (Ghost Hunters, Book 4)
Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Jayne Castle From "seasoned pro" (People) Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Jayne Castle, comes the ultimate tale of adventure: falling in love. Virginia Burch, a psychic archeologist, can't believe her luck when she meets Sam Gage, a ghost hunter and owner of prime real e...
Two overhead fluo-rez tubes came on, illuminating the scene in a cold blue light. Masses of flowers and bunches of decorative greenery filled the room. Arrangements in vases of various shapes and sizes lined the shelves behind the glass doors of the cooler. The effect was funereal. The body of St...
He did not open his eyes and therefore was unable to appreciate the flamboyant luxury that surrounded him. He lay on the polished marble floor of an ornately appointed room. A high, heavily embossed ceiling arched overhead. The golden glow of the vapor lamps fi...
Elias knew that some of the charged heat seeped in from the nearby ruins but most of it was generated by the players. There was a reason why the excitement of gambling was often described as a fever. Games of chance had always held a peculiar fascination for humans, and pe...
It was a lot like getting lost in the tunnels without amber, he thought. Everywhere he turned in the dreamscape he was met with more fog. He knew she was there, somewhere, but he had no way to locate her. He rezzed a little energy, pushing back the last fragments of the dr...
His face was drawn, the grim brackets around his mouth nearly white as he held onto consciousness. Guinevere saw the wariness in him as well as the confusion. Gently she touched his shoulder. “It’s all right, Mr. Vandyke. We’ve got a boat. We’ll have you back to civilizati...
“You look lovely tonight. I’m only sorry it was Chastain who brought you. At least he let me have one dance.” Zinnia chuckled. They both knew Nick had not given his permission. He had been talking with a business acquaintance when Duncan had appeared at her side and asked for the dance. She had a...
She did not like Tamara Wyatt. More precisely, she did not like the way Tamara looked at Emmett when she thought no one was watching. The speculative gleam in Tamara’s gaze reminded Lydia of the way Fuzz looked when he peered at the pretzel jar. As if he was willing to dev...
He hooked one foot over the bottom deck rail and leaned his elbows on the top one. Far below, the white wake foamed around the hull as the Washington State ferry slid placidly through the cold gray waters of Elliot Bay. Behind him the Seattle waterfront receded slowly, the aggressive new skyline ...
Or, to be more specific, Orchid thought, when she awoke alone in the massive round bed, she did not dream of being stalked by a psychic vampire, even though some would say she had gone to bed with one. She felt remarkably refreshed, given her energetic activities during the night. High overhead m...
Lucas deactivated the Icer’s engine with an impatient twist of his hand. He studied the lights of the casino on the other side of the street. “Or is this just the result of a small-town upbringing?” “I don’t know about other prisms,” Amaryllis said. “And I won’t presume to speak for all small-tow...
Calls that demanded a drastic change in your life always came at that hour of the morning, Matt decided as he lunged blindly across the bed to grab the receiver. He should have taken the thing off the hook. For some reason he had always assumed that the idiosyncrasies of the Mexican phone system ...
She had assigned herself this job in order to investigate Madame Zoltana, but that didn’t mean she could stiff Gage and Watson. She had her professional ethics, and she would make certain the company got its money’s worth from a Camelot Services employee. She was well into the document she was en...
During the first hour after receiving the news of Adam's intentions, she said nothing after her first protests, trying to think her way out of the situation. But in the end, the only response she could finally put into words sounded trite and useless. "You can't do this, A...
Arthur Gill, Slade, and two of Slade’s officers were grouped around him. The lab techs had all been awakened and now formed a circle behind them. There was a very anxious vibe in the small crowd. Everyone looked at the empty glass-and-steel lockbox on the shelf. A murmur of shock and disbelief we...
Lydia put aside the schedule of group tours that she was slated to escort through the museum that week and reached for the phone. “This is Jan Ross,” a perky voice said on the other end of the line. “I understand you’ve been trying to get in touch with me?” “Yes, thank you so much for returning m...
