Book Description

27 Jan 2009 Arcane Society (Book 3)

Raine Tallentyre, recently dumped, knows her gifted Aunt Vella was right - she should always keep her paranormal abilities a secret. And now that Vella, her last relative, has died, Raine's resigned herself to a lonely life. Then, while clearing out Vella's house, Raine's sensitivity leads her to a horrifying discovery: a young woman, bound and terrified, in the basement. The victim has survived, but the culprit is on the loose.

Suddenly, a new man enters Raine's life: psychic investigator Zack Jones. But there's one complication - Zack's working for a secret organisation that shattered Raine's family. She's wary of his motives, but as a killer makes her his target, and a group of psychic criminals operating in the shadows surrounds them, Raine and Zack must rely not only on their powerful abilities, but on each other...

After her aunt died, Raine Tallentyre returned to Shelbyville, Washington to arrange to have Vella's house sold. Raine is a psychic, a clairvoyant who hears the voices of evil people who have touched something she has touched. That is how Raine knows that a young woman is locked in a padlocked closet in her aunt's basement. When the police arrive and open the door she is still alive. The victim tells the authorities the man thought she was a witch and all witches had to die,

Parapsychic Zack Jones is a private investigator for the Arcane Society, an organization dedicated to doing research on psychic powers he is not repulsed by Raine's powers because he has visions too. The Arcane Society is in a fight with Nightshade, an organization of criminal psychics, who stole the original formula of the founder of the Arcane Society to enhance paranormal abilities. The drawback is that every dose the person takes leads to insanity and finally suicide. Zack wants Raine to help him locate missing scientist Dr. Lawrence Quinn who was working on the formula to enhance para powers without going insane. The missing scientist was last scene in Oriana near the home of Raine's late aunt. Zacl wants to rescue the researcher or deal with him if he is a traitor and she wants to find out if her aunt was murdered. Together they make a great team in and out of the bedroom.

Jayne Anne Krentz has written another best seller that is going to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. This latest Arcane Society novel is full of action, intrigue, romance and double agents who keep the protagonists busy trying to figure out who they are. The support cast is quirky, a Krentz trademark and add a degree of beauty to a fast paced thriller. Readers get a fascinating inside look at the Arcane Society!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good paranormal romantic thriller 12 Feb 2008
By LEP TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Under the name Jayne Castle, J A Krentz created a series of science fiction/fantasy books based on a planet called Harmony. On Harmony the senses of the human imigrants were enhanced, particulary those of our dormant psychic or para-normal senses. JC forms different classes of people with hightened para-normal senses e.g. the hunters, the empaths etc., and they are given a scale rating from one - ten (ten being the highest) as to how good their para-normal sense is.

Being other world light-hearted fantasy novels this worked quite well and the explanation of the extra sense and its rating worked into the stories well.

JAK has now extended this to present time earth, which is okay. However, in her previous book before Sizzle and Burn, I was bored out of my mind by the continuous lengthy explanations of the para-normal sense and its rating on the Richter Scale (pardon my sarcasm!) and consequently found the book very hard to settle into. She would have been perhaps been better just doing a Heather Graham and stating that these people have strong psychic senses and what each can do and leaving it at that; instead of going into great detail on the psycho-babble imaginery scaling etc.

In my opinion Sizzle and Burn is a better and more interesting book than her previous one, even though it follows the same agency and theme. There are less lengthy explanations of the parnormal abilities and scaling etc.

This book still includes the Arcane Society and J&J Investigations and the search for the psycho-enhancing drug which has fallen into the baddies hands.

Raine Tallentyre can pick up voices from objects that she touches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzle & Burn - A Sizzling Book 7 Nov 2012
By Wenchis
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you've never read a Jayne Ann Krentz novel you've missed a treat. She writes under 3 names, this one and Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle. They are all vry enjoyable and deal with paranormal "talents" in her hero and heroine. She created a group of people who became The Arcane Society in her early novels and this one is the third in that series. Her books have mystery and romance and Sizzle and Burn is no exception. I found it hard to put down. Definitely one to keep and read over and over.

4.0 out of 5 stars sizzle indeed 3 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
another of Krentz's contemporary arcane society stories. this time we meet zach jones who is the heir to the master's chair who is a direct descendant from gabriel and venetia. he is washington to investigate an old case which happens to involve raine's family and it didnt end well for her father. the sparks fly as they have amazing chemistry right from the beginning and like "White Lies" there is another plot happening revolving around the mysterious death of raine aunt to keep the action moving along and it also adds to the romance of the story. another page turner

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 23 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first Arcane Society book that I have read and I'm glad to see JAK has not lost her touch. The female lead is cut in a slightly different mould to many other heroines - she's tall for one thing, and it's nice to see other people take her seriously rather than writing her off as naive, innocent, etc. Loved the chemistry between the two characters and I loved the plot, which kept me guessing until the end. I have to say I found some of JAK's books (especially the early ones and those written under pen name amanda Quick) to be a bit silly. This one is highly recommmended.
