Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This spirited paranormal romance is the latest in Krentz's Arcane Society series (which includes some novels, like the recent Second Sight, written as Amanda Quick). Clare Lancaster, like her parents and grandparents, is a member of the clandestine Arcane Society, an association of parasensitives who are dedicated to the study of the paranormal. Clare's extraordinary abilities as a human lie detector make even other paranormals uneasy, with the exception of her half-sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth's troubled marriage brings Clare to Arizona and into the family circle. There, Clare finally meets Archer Glazebrook, her biological father, but she also meets Jake Salter, another highly talented parasensitive who turns out to be on assignment from Jones & Jones (the investigative arm of the Arcane Society) to track down a possible plot to take over the society. The cabal he's after has some connection to the still-unsolved murder of Clare's objectionable brother-in-law months before. More murders follow, and Jake and Clare have to work together to save themselves and the society. Krentz delivers another evocative romance, complete with engaging dialogue and explicit sex scenes, but the real meat of the plot concerns the sleuthing: that a charismatic alpha male finally meets his mate is icing on another densely plotted Krentz confection.

From Booklist

As a level 10 para-sensitive, Clare Lancaster can tell for certain when someone is telling the truth. So Clare knows that her half-sister, Elizabeth Glazebrook, isn't lying when she says her husband, Brad McAllister, is trying to kill her. But Brad is murdered instead, and as the first person to find his body, Clare becomes the Stone Canyon Police Department's favorite suspect. With no evidence to tie her to the crime, Clare is allowed to return to her old life in San Francisco. But six months later, her father, Archer, summons her back to Phoenix. Her unique gift tells her not only that there is more to her father's new business "consultant" Jake Salter than he would like her to believe but also that she is in grave danger. Writing as Amanda Quick, Krentz introduced the Arcane Society, a group dedicated to psychic research and investigation, in Second Sight (2006), her latest historical romance. Now Krentz successfully brings the concept into the present in a seductive, sharply witty, and paranormal-flavored thriller in which she deftly infuses an expertly crafted plot with sizzling sexual chemistry between two intriguing protagonists to create another of her supremely addictive tales of romantic suspense.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thin line between lies and truths., Oct 14 2008

By	GinRobi (Timmins, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: White Lies (Mass Market Paperback)

Clare Lancaster is a level-ten parasensitive. She's a human lie detector. She can detect the smallest whiff of a lie, even if wrapped in the truth. She'd saved her new-found sister from her now dead husband, knowing that he was doing Elizabeth harm - she wasn't having a nervous breakdown, but he was doing everything in his power to make it appear so. She'd returned to save her sister, only to come upon his dead body.

Now she's back at the request of her new-found father, less than a year later. She doesn't want to be there but when at her mother's urging. He wants to offer her a job, similar to ones she's held before, but she doesn't want the charity - both butt heads too strongly to work side-by-side. But since she's there, she's determined to find out what happened to Brad to clear her name.

Jake Salter is a business `consultant' for her father. She asks questions where the answers surprise her: most of his answers are a mix of truths and lies. The more her life is threatened, the more determined Jake is to stick to her like glue. For Jake is an agent with Jones & Jones, the Arcane Society's detective agency, and he's now just as determined to find out what's going on as Clare is.

Right from the beginning, there is a pull between Jake and Clare. Jakes knows what he's feeling, and is even more determined to keep Clare alive after two close calls.

What I liked was how the characters communicated. Even though they had differences of opinions, arguments, issues, they talked them out, they listened to each other. Even though both are somewhat mule-headed, they still take into account the others feelings and opinions, and that was nice to read. And just when you think you're getting what the mystery is, a twist brings it to a whole new level. I really enjoyed the banter with several of the characters, the mystery, the action, the love scenes. All well written. Krentz is one hell of an author.
