Jayne Ann Krentz often writes contemporaries, while her pseudonym Amanda Quick have stories set in the Late Victorian Era. This time, in her Arcane Society Novels, she will have stories crossing over between late victorian era and the contemporary era. The Arcane Society novels will explore paranormal/psychic stories.
It all started out with
Amanda Quick's Second Sight where we are introduced to Gabriel Jones and Venetia Milton. They will set the tone of the series, as their adventures will help the society set the parameters in their paranormal/psychic research. We also get to read about Arcane Society and what they are about.
You see, the head of the secret society, known as the Arcane Society, are often taken from the descendants of the Jones family. When Second Sight ended, we find out about the alchemist's formula and how dangerous it is.
White Lies, second book in the series, set in the 21st century is about Clare Lancaster, a human lie detector, and the mysterious consultant Jake Salter. Within the society, they have this agency, arcanematch.com, that caters to matching up psychic couples based on their individual psychic profiles. This will then help each person in the society to be with another psychic who complements and understands them. As both Clare and Jake are level 10 in the paranormal scale, and both with an exotic (read: rare and weird) psychic talent, both are deemed unmatchable. However, both find themselves working together in an investigation, that led them to unravel another secret society, a cabal of psychic criminals that is hell bent on reproducing the alchemist's formula. And in the course of their working together, find themselves falling in love with each other.
Sizzle and Burn, third in the series, also set in the 21st century, continues the search for the cabal set on recreating the alchemist's formula. This time, we get to meet Raine Tallentyre and a Jones & Jones investigator, Zack Jones. Through the course of the story, we get to find out that their individual psychic powers somehow complements one another - Raine hears voices, while Zack sees vision. The problem lies in that Raine does not trust anyone from Arcane Society due to the incident that happened to her family instigated by the society in the past. But both of them has to work together, for this time, someone has targeted Raine, and she needs the help of Zack if she wants to survive.
Its an engaging series, and since i love JAK and AQ, am eagerly anticipating a paperback of Sizzle and Burn to hit the shelves in the coming months.
