Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From The New York Times bestselling author of White Lies, Amanda Quick's new Arcane Society novel reveals the passionate—and paranormal—secrets of proper Victorian London.
Leona Hewitt, a gifted crystal worker, isn't the only one sneaking into Lord Delbridge's private museum to recover a relic. Thaddeus Ware, a mesmerist with psychic gifts, is on a similar mission. Neither one of them has any idea that this relic—a rare ancient crystal—will lead them in a deadly chase where danger and desire await.

This is the subsequent installment of the Arcane Society Annals by Jayne Ann Krentz aka Amanda Quick aka Jayne Castle. I love her by any name but I really don't care for so many novels about this Society, that is the reason for four stars. At very first I enjoyed the stories but enough is enough let us move on to other things. These novels are remenisient of the three books, AMARYLLIS, ORCHID, AND ZINNIA. The powers are very much alike. I much prefer the Harmony books with the psychic powers linked to amber. The last Harmony book also had the Arcane Society in it. But be of good cheer this one is almost out in paperback.
As there are so many good reviews I will just say that I enjoyed the book and as I bought it used I have no regrets.

Leona Hewitt is determined to recover a crystal that has been in her family (on and off) for many years, but was stolen from her mother. Thaddeus Ware, who is a member of the Arcane Society, has mesmerist powers, and is determined to get the same crystal artifact for the Society. They meet over a dead body in the house of a Lord who dabbles in dark powers, both attempting to secretly steal the jewel--and they find that they need both of their skills together to accomplish their goals. Afterwards, Thaddeus is concerned about Leona, who has taken the jewel. The unscrupulous Lord and his associates want the jewel back and also want Leona, who has the power to make the crystal work for them and gain them secrets and power. Leona and Thaddeus are forced to work together again.
As with all Quick's tales, this is a fast and delightful read, particularly if you like paranormal romances.

I have read quite a few of Quicks books and this one is worth the read! I could not put it down! The subject was interesting and the characters were believeable. The romance could have been a little more involved. Overall, if you like her writing you should be satisfied with this book.
