The New York Times-bestselling author of Sizzle and Burn has a brand-new Arcane Society novel.
Ex-cop Luther Malone, lifelong member of the secretive paranormal organization known as the Arcane Society, is waiting to meet Grace Renquist. Hired as an aura-reading consultant in the quest for a murder suspect, she’s got zero field experience. She’s from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. She’s a librarian, for heaven’s sake.
As for Grace, she’s not expecting much either from Malone, who walks with a cane and isn’t so good with a gun. Nice résumé for a bodyguard . . .
But even before they reach their hotel in Maui—where they’ll be posing as honeymooners—Grace and Luther feel the electric charge between them. Problem is, they need to remain vigilant day and night, because it soon becomes clear there’s more going on here. Rogue sensitives—operatives for the underground group Nightshade—are pouring into the luxury resort like there’s a convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their auras. She saw the same pattern in someone else in another life—a life she hasn’t revealed to Luther or anyone else. And she understands how dangerous these people can be . . . especially with those para-hunters at their sides.
While the pair’s employers at Jones & Jones scramble to get them backup, Luther and Grace have to think on their feet. The criminals in their midst aren’t just high-level sensitives: They’ve enhanced their talents with a potent—and unpredictable— drug. And as Grace knows all too well, if you don’t control your powers, your powers will control you. . . .

I love Jayne Ann Krentz in all her forms and especially this series that jumps from 19th century to present and is commented on in the futuristic. Great reads all of them.

For those that are familiar with the Arcane Society novels, this is a solid performance by Krentz. Not her best work, but not a hard read either - it's good fill-the-time reading. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and look forward to another installment.

Once again Jayne Ann Krentz has crafted a fabulous and thoroughly enjoyable tale. I jumped in with both feet and was instantly surrounded by exciting suspense, romance, friendship, humor and trust. And page 154?! It just doesn't get any better! Thank you Jayne for another absolutely fantastic read with such finely penned characters I just want it to keep going and going and going! :-)

First, the story. This is just another juciy extremely well written novel by the Master/Mistress herself. The Hawaiian setting feels authentic and that's always a big plus because I actually poke around in areas authors mention in their stories. As soon as airflight settles down, Hawaii is next on the list. The characters were especially good this time too. When beginning authors can't understand what writing terms like "head hopping" mean, here is a good instructional example. We know all of the important parts of the story through the conversation of the characters. Additionally, we get a sense of relief when they find each other and just some beautiful images from the aura conversations. Highly recommended for an enjoyable read without an embarassing cover. Now--why am I lost again? I love the series about the paranormal going back through time, cataloging talents, etc. But for the life of me cannot keep straight who is when and which name she's using this time and --sheesh!--for a good author I'll make the effort but don't anybody else get any ideas.
